OMG - did I just steal?

[newbiecouponmom72]

no way its not stealing.. when i go shopping i am always picking up receipts that are on the ground, in the trash (on top of course) and in carts .. that people leave..i send them in with the rebate forms I trade for.. that way its really not costing me anything to do the rebates.... i let someone else that threw their receipt out pay for the items needed for the rebate and i cash in on the rebate money... i have scored quite a bit doing rebates that way.. enough to pay for christmas shopping this year already.. i say hoo haaaa keep tossing those receipts out!! i have about 10 grocery stores along with a superwalmart all within a short distance around me and i go out every once in awhile to get some peace and quiet and collect receipts lol... Its great extra cash for me since i had to stay home to take care of my twins...

It depends, actually. You'd need to contact people in your area and see if it's 1. legal and 2. if that company minds. Some places don't care, others it's completely illegal, all depends on your community.

Meijers is well known for giving away $1, $2, $4 and even $5 off your next shopping order. I always look in the carts and parking lots for these coupons. people throw coupons down and dont even look at them. yes sir I will take them. Keeps the landfills from filling up and my pockets from emptying out.

I, too, have been known to dig through the trash for coupons. I frequently dig through the trash can next to the mailboxes in order to dig out all the inserts that normally get thrown away. Sometimes I can get 15 or 20 copies of the inserts, though lately, I think people have been catching on b/c now I can *only* get 5-6 copies, lol.

Arie- someone else through them away. It's not like you picked them up out of someone's bag or something. I take coupons I find left over in carts all the time.
