Stores Cracking Down On Extreme Couponers~Again!

For those of you who shelf clear, steal newspapers out of honor boxes, push whole product displays into your many shopping carts, and generally don't use any coupon ethics... this industry change that is currently underway is THANKS to you and your lack of basic decancy!
Ok, some of you may think that I am being too harsh but when the industry as a whole has to stop and AGAIN revist how couponers are shopping and how some are essentially cheating the "system" it begs the question: Are you too extreme? You have to look at how the TLC show is changing the face of couponing in such a hard economic times, when people are scrambling to save every cent they can. Some say that it is great: "allowing people to learn how to coupon and bringing coupon habits to the forefront as a means for people to learn to become savvy shoppers", and some are very upset at how a show has spun the industry into a full blown panic mode. I am among those who are very upset at some of the practices that people employ on this show and that the TLC show is exploiting bad couponers who are essentially ruining the industry for EVERYONE!
I teach, harp, praise on coupon ethics in my coupon classes. I know that by the time the classes are done everyone is well aware of what I believe with being ethical for couponing. (Honestly, it is just good basic human decancy if you really think about it.)The first thing I want all new couponers to be aware of is setting their goals, meaning what is it that you want to achieve by couponing, how many items does your family need/use, what is your shelf space, cooking habits and usage plan? I have always asked my classes to order their products from customer service if they are aware they will be using over 10 coupons for any one product, to only coupon for what you NEED and can USE. If you are couponing for charities as I do often, then have those in seperate transactions and of course talk to your store manager for clarity on their policy changes and don't rely on just the internet copy from your store's website.
There is little we all can do to stop the madding rush of the stores to tighten their coupon policies as they of course have to protect their bottom line. But if you can be ethical and work with your store and store manager they will be less likely to prohibt your use of coupons as they are now allowing managers to say "when" essentially.
Happy Savings!
