Some are harder to find than others and some stores have more of them then others. I find lots just not always the ones I am in need of.

Many times the harder-to-find ones are specific to a chain (such as Kroger or Food Lion/Blooms). They are more limited in quantity simply because not every store gets them.

I think they are harder to find because they are harder to see than the bigger red ones that they used before. These black little tiny boxes are hard to see. The red box I remember you could stand at one end of the isle and if you looked down you could spot them at least half way down.
I agree also that some store have more than others.

Most of the ones I find are worthless to me...
The only blinkie I've found worth keeping was this year's .75/1 Vlasic. The good ones don't usually make it to my area.

I agree that they are much harder to find. I don't think they blink as often either. Maybe they need to go back to the drawing board of this one.

I agree. I went to Publix/Kroger to walk the store to look for blinkies and found none! What a waste....
Thanks for the responses~

Something strange I have noticed is that some stores seem loaded with blinkies and tear pads and others have absolutely nothing.

I do mystery shopping for major grocery store chains, so I see a lot of the same stores, all within a 30 mile radius of each other. So it makes no sense to see some have them all and some have none.

I am beginning to think it's up to management if they put them in their stores. What else could account for such extremes within the same chain or stores near each other?

Some store personnel just do not understand coupons. :sad:
