Ruining it for the rest of us.

I would like to take this moment to visit the rights and wrongs in couponing. I know there are some people out there who do not under stand what it is to coupon, and then there are some people who totally abuse the privilege, and yes this is a Privilege not a right.

Couponing, is a good way to save yourself, money, it in no way saves time, it in fact takes up more of your free time, but if the ends justify the means then it is worth it. Coupons are sent out by the manufactures to help entice you to try, buy and keep buying their products. They send them in papers, by mail, in magazines and now online to print off. All coupons online have a print limit, it might be 1, 2 or 5, but they have a print limit. That does not mean by any way that you cant ask your friends or family, or even go to the library to print coupons.

That being said, if you take these printed out coupons and copy them it is STEALING, You may think, oh its just a few dollars, but when you do that.. since every coupon has its own distinct serial number.. you are causing the store you redeem it at to not get their money back from the manufacture. Even big time companies... will eventually stop accepting coupons that are printed out if enough people are stealing by copying. Don't ruin it for the rest of us, Coupon responsibly, and do it the right way.

That being said, Happy savings! new trip to savings in a few days!
