Every once in a while I like to remind people that what you see on T.V. isn't how it is in real life. There are a lot of details that are not shown or told to the viewers. Have you ever wondered how it is that on the T.V. shows all of the items are always available on their mega shopping list? Yet when we ourselves run to the store to get something it is always empty, gone and depleted?
One very large fact is that all of the items the individual is purchasing on the show has been "Pre-Ordered" for them. So while it may look like they are "clearing the shelves" they actually are not. This however, had led a lot of people to believe that shelf clearing is OK....well....no it isn't!!! Yes it is nice to grab a free item or two but you must remember there maybe hundreds of others trying to get the same deal at that same store in your town. Be courteous and if you plan to get more than 7-10 of an item...call the store and pre-order it. Using this method is a Win/Win for everyone. You will ensure you get the items you wanted and others will have a chance to find it on the shelf!
More stores are cracking down hard on those of us who use coupons. Part of this reason is due to those who abuse the system. More and more coupons have stronger restrictions on them. If we don't start "playing nice" and stop being selfish...these restrictions will just get even more harsh over time.
So the next time you are out doing your coupon shopping just be courteous to those who are shopping for the same great deals!
