Take as many as you want. There are on average about 200-350 coupons in that machine and most don't get used!

I have taken bunches when it's a "hot coupon" like the $1/1 scott t.p. last year. I knew they had them on sale at another store for $1 ea. So, I grabbed 10 a day after dropping my son at school. That's how I got my free t.p.

I'll take as many as my 3 y.o. will grab LOL! She loves it. :D

Keep taking...it keeps us "Blinkie" people employed.

I'll take the two the machine spits out and any that are on top of it. But if its a really good coupon I'll take two and leave a kid in front of the machine until they get bored.

Great discussion, I was wondering as well. I usually get the 2 plus top, more if it's a great q. Now, I have another "twist" on this question. The blinkie coupons from Food Lion all start with a 5, therefore, they will double (even triple on occasion) at other store. I don't usually shop at FL (I'm just iffy about their meat! and they don't double q's) so is that ok, to go to FL, walk around to get the q's and walk out with only 1-2 items? I kept wondering the other day if any of the employees would say something, but it doesn't say "take 1 coupon and use it HERE!". Just wondering

I know take as many as my 2 year old will pull out for me. It has turned into a game or sorts, lol...

I love it when people leave them in the little thing on the top. That way I get to grab a whole bunch and not have to wait all day. Sometimes I will grab a couple then go look at some nearby items since it takes forever for the 3rd one to spit out.

the machines are slow! so i hate waiting for them and looking like a dummy.
i usually take 3 or 4 depending if i will use it. 2 if i want to trade it.

I am just starting on the blinkies. I usually take 2. I don't know why I'm embarrassed to take more than that?

I guess I already feel conspicuous with my big "briefcase" (as my husband calls it) of coupons? I didn't know Walmart will take kroger Blinkies until just the other day. They do say manufactures coupon though.
