A word about that brag you are about to post...

[CouponDude]

Well if we are making rules then most coupons are illegal, most say this on them:

Void if transferred, sold, auctioned, reporduced or altered

So out goes ebay, trading or trains too right or am I missing something?

Yup, there was a link to the P&G policy floating around, we're all busted, lol.

Thank you coupon dude. You explained it perfectly.

[dlee]

agreed. coupons are a gift. not a right.

What boggles me is the price of Computer ink. To print 50+ coupons, and use them for overage is a little redundant, isn't it? i was looking at ebay, and saw a lady selling the aspirin coupons there, starting bid 1.00, wonder how much it cost with Ink, paper?

We went to get new ink for our good printer, at 40 bucks, I saw a brand new printer for 19.00. Seemed like a better option for me.

If you are about to post a brag that you know is about - or endorsing yours or others - coupon misuse, manipulation, or otherwise fraud of coupons or stores - please do not bother posting about it at all on Smart Canucks. Smart Canucks does not endorse illegal activity of any kind.

But that still doesnt mean you can attack another poster. Period.

Agreed x 2!

Thank you, Amberlab, for posting this. It's awesome.

I have seen two posts in the last 24 hours suggesting that even though SDM has made a big misprint in their flyer(razors are supposed to be 11.99 not 1.99), that people take that flyer and PM the misprinted price at another store. It's so wrong. It's stealing.

It's strange to me that mods are not deleting such posts. This site is popular enough and can make huge impact - if traced back to sc, site could be liable and ordered offline, or am I wrong?

I reported them both so hopefully, they get removed.

Youre wrong in that regard but like the posters are saying doing things like that is silly I guess. Although yet again I feel it is not up to the coupon user more so the stores and the companies that issue them.

Walmart for instance should know that a error was maid and inform the staff that the PM on that cannot work, simply put WM needs to pull up thier socks not us

Maybe not liable, a lawyer would know better, but you never know who is lurking. There are some BIG companies who have eyes on this site and one of them actually contacted me.

Do not bet against any large corp coming after you(not personally, a generalization). They have the time the resources and the lawyers.

Tell me your joking? It was a flyer error...

Speaking in general, what goes on, what gets seen, what companies have issued warnings in the past regarding certain issues.

[CouponDude]

I have a solution to all the brags getting posted.

Show us what you bought, but show only one of each item, tell us how much you saved for each different item, and gives us grand total savings.

No more finger pointing that you abused this or that, or that you hoarded and left none for others.

So where does this type of situation fall?

You suspect the price might be an error, but they have not yet posted a correction notice, do you ask for the price in the flyer? I saw them first thing Friday morning at the $11.99 price but did not ask for them to give me the $1.99 price because I was sure I'd be denied. There was no correction notice anywhere...

I'm so glad this issue is finally being addressed. I loved SC and up to a few months ago spent WAY too much time on here. I found reading posts of how to rip off the stores and manufacturers and how to get away with abusing coupon use infuriating and stopped recommending SC to people who asked me in the stores about couponing and found myself coming on here less and less. Some people would actually put a disclaimer in their brag for no one to say anything negative about what they did and reply after reply would tell them how great they did even though it was an obvious abuse of the coupon(s) they used. I really appreciated the ones who had made a mistake and when they found out let others know that they had so others didn't follow suite.

Can I make a suggestion? When a post/brag is an obvious abuse of a coupon or encouraging others to try and cheat/rip off a store that those posts/brags be removed? When done on purpose can that OP be given a warning so they don't keep doing it? Mistakes happen and I don't have issues with that as long as we are willing to learn from them. It's the ones who know what they are doing and doing it on purpose that I have issues with and the reason I don't come here often anymore.
