[...] it’s not just about stock – you can have a store stock up well on an item only to have a couple folks clear them out. So stores may choose to also address this issue by limiting the quantities of coupons allowed at [...]

Sadly, people ruining deals for everyone else happens far too often. People who do things like this aren’t interested in how their behavior can hurt others down the line. I grit my teeth whenever I hear about someone abusing a promotion…how many of us have seen someone brag about being able to print a coupon like 20 times (or more) when there seemingly isn’t a print limit on it? It’s frustrating for sure.

I am so angry about this. yet again someone ruining a good deal for everyone! My mom works at Fred Meyer and she called me this morning to say she was informed the cat was pulled due to some Ma&Pa owner in Cinci buying up a ton to stock their store shelves. Lovely. I go through detergent so quick here, I was planning on buying 4 bottles and felt even that was pushing it for *me*. but 800?!?! love how greedy people can ruin things for everyone.

Oh my goodness!! I do admit that I was hoping to buy several months’ supply (probably 20 bottles), but now I am afraid the cat won’t print!! Thanks for giving me the head’s up so I don’t waste my time.

We don’t get as good of deals around here due to limited stores, but it does aggrivate me when people take advantage, I only purchase what I can use.

Are you kidding me?! To your reader in Trasher’s Corner, I live there too, and did get my catalina a Freddies on Bothell-Everette Hyw. yesterday (2/17). Hope it still works for some people!

I am in Columbus, OH (2 hours from Cincy) and although my shelves were stocked with Purex, there were no catalinas printing. I did call Catalina Marketing to ask about it and was told my transaction would be reviewed and I would possibly be mailed the cat. We shall see…
Angela – I love your blog, I follow it regularly. Although our stores aren’t the same, I love your stance on things and to see what’s going on in your corner. Piper is too precious! Thanks for the pics!

WOW, by the way, I have seen “details” on how to have a garage sale with drug store finds on blogs before. Imagine we will see lots of Purex this summer.

Printed for me at Thrashers corner, I stocked up on 4 bottles, was thinking of going back, but I don’t know if I’m going to now. What goes through these people’s minds?!?! Maddening…
