HELP OMG - did I just steal?

Okay this may sound silly but, I don't know if I technically just stole something or not.

I was in Price Chopper (Grocery store) getting my double coupon deals for the week. As I was walking away (two Digorno over load pizzas, 6 pack of pop, 3 pack of spring water, 2 bags purina cat food, 2 Oral B electric tooth brushes and a gallon of milk for 13.00 for those of you who were wondering) I dropped one of my Catalinas.

I practically did a nose dive for the floor to pick it up. As I bent over to get it, I noticed a trash can by the coin machine with 10 catalinas balled up on top.

I picked them out of the trash.

Okay - I know I'm now a garbage picker. And that people probably think I'm nuts. BUT - is this stealing? Do I need to bring it back to the store? Who would I even give it to, if I did bring it back?

(Can you imagine my conversation with loss prevention? "I'm sorry for stealing the catalinas out of the garbage. I'm just on a really tight budget!")

Thoughts, opinions, suggestions? (Though no meanness please).

Thanks:sad:

I don't think so. They have no intrinsic value and it was in the garbage. Is it stealing when we take extra blinkies or tearpads? They usually say: "this has no cash value" or cash value: 1/100cent". Seriously I will give them the penny if they ever complained.

Default Re: OMG - did I just steal?

my thought are NO, One person's trash is another person's treasure.

I think it is the same idea of finding coupons in carts or on the shelves.

I think this goes along the lines of finding changes on the ground.

Hope you found some good ones.

Out of curiosity, did you get any good catalina's??

P.S.- I wouldn't take them back. someone did not want them and you merely prevented them from going to waste and going to the dump

Nope! I'd have picked them up too. I picked up some coupons from a cart at Walmart today that was in the cart return. I'd have picked catalinas out of the trash too. ;)

Definetly not! At my Kroger I ask the attendant at the u-scan if I can take them. They always say sure because they just ahve to throw them away. They tell me that soemone ought to get use from them. Enjoy the savings and realize the paper they are printed on is not a total waste!

Default Re: OMG - did I just steal?

Phew! I'm glad the thoughts so far are "No!" I love jewelry but don't want a pair of matching silver bracelets if you catch my drift.

Okay just looked...

(2) junk advertisements with no coupon or value or coupon code
(1) 1.50/1 tresemme product (any)
(1) 2.00/4 scott mega rolls
(1) FREE bag of personalized M&Ms (I think this is by far the coolest cat I've ever seen!)
(1) 1.00/1 sudafed or sudafed pe (any)
(2) 1.50/1 dr. oetker ristorante pizza any variety (I don't even think I've ever seen this?)
(1) 1.50/1 on any 64 oz simply smart milk (from my purchase)
(1) B1G1 free (up to 2.99 value) pounce cat treats (from my purchase)
(2) 2.00/2 kikkoman soy sauce 10 oz or larger
(4) 10.00 off any 25.00 purchase at fashion bug or fashionbug.com


I'm so happy I can keep these!
