Thieves strike again

Here's a link to pictures of the coupon purse I created a couple of months ago. http://http://forum.smartcanucks.ca/...zation-system/

I wonder if this is the same person who is selling these inserts for $1.00 each on Kijiji?

I wonder if this is the same person who is selling these inserts for $1.00 each on Kijiji?

Again, I would never pay anyone on Kijiji for coupons. To me that is the high of greed to be charging for coupons that you got for free! Why not just give them to someone you know can use them?

Are you REALLY that hard up for money??? To me this is no better than pan-handling.

I usually leave coupons in the stores by items that I have the coupons for but dont use, just to help out the next person who IS using the item.

I thought the whole idea of this was for all of us as a community to help each other out with trades and such. When you have to start PAYING for your coupons, then it is no longer being helpful, it is a BUSINESS!

Just my 2 cents off

I feel that if someone wants to sell coupons they can (I'm not getting into the legal aspect). They are offering a service and if someone wants to purchase the service they should be able to.

I would like to state that I do not sell coupons. But the people who are selling them are taking their time to bin dive, recyle bin walk, clip inserts etc.

Some people do not have the interest or time to trade and hunt for inserts, so they are willing to pay for the convenience. Some people want multiples of one particular coupon and want to get them all at once.

Also keep in mind that not everyone is part of this "community" and everyone will use this community as they see fit.

Though I do not sell coupons or buy them I found the previous post offensive. Do you realize that when you redeem coupons the person in line after you may be saying to themselves "is she really that hard up for cash?" but you know the benefits you reap, I assume the people selling inserts do as well.

Lance I also had my binder stolen when i first joined this site...Very frustrating and more so shocking that anyone would do that.

I usually keep my binder in a stylish but brightly printed canvas bag along with all my flyers, if anyone steals that I'll know for sure who it is because there's no mistaking that bag, i like someone's idea on this threat though, I think i"ll try leaving my binder in my car and only take the coupons I'm going to need into the store and if I find a good deal well I can just go back to my car

This has been happening to use in our townhouse complex I live in I couldn't figure out why my flyers were all over the place and not in the packages I was missing flyers and don't get coupons so my aunt who lives here said she would go to the empty apartments and get me the missing flyers while she was doing this she noticed a lady whose daughter lives here walking through the complex stealing the coupons out of the flyers she takes the flyers out of the bag and takes the coupons and leaves the flyers all over the place. My aunt asked her what she was doing and she said"I'm taking the coupons because I don't get them where I live" so she's taking all of these so basically she goes to 120 units and takes 120 coupon inserts and leaves nothing for no one but a mess but I am one up on her since the flyer delivery person gets here just as I'm returning home from work so I get my flyers before she gets to them. My aunt seen me tonight and said she noticed her again tonight stealing all the coupons from the flyers. A couple of my friends who live here that I exchange coupons with wondered what happened and they were not too happy about it so they are also making sure that they get their flyers before she gets to them.

I don't understand why people do that I get extras given to me by my friends and neighbors who don't use them and I also share with people I always leave coupons on the tearpads so that others to get some as well but I have seen people rip off all the coupons from the tearpads. I give coupons to people standing at the cashiers if I think it will help them save money. These are the people that are making it difficult for us, this is why stores are unhappy with coupons because of the greedy people. My friend went to Walmart the other day and they wouldn't allow her to get only 4 Dove products and use coupons because they said that some woman came in with 27 coupons for dove so they had to limit it because it was making things so difficult for the cashiers and people were complaining it takes too long to process.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I actually got my coupons for the first time this week in many months. We will see how long this lasts? What is the point of buying coupons? how are you saving money?
