I broke my rule and wiped out the shelf!!!!!

[Benichole]

Okay do you guys normally buy everything you want or leave some for others. I have this rule I follow in always leaving a few on the shelf for someone else. Today I had stopped at Walgreen's and they were out of all three items that I wanted. I went to Target to and they were out of everything. Then I went to Albertsons and found what I wanted. Air Wick Freshmatice Kits on sale for $5.99. I took all 11! I have never done that but I was so frusterated today.

It really was a great deal. They are normally $12.99 a piece. They were for sale for $5.99. I used the $5.00 coupon on each one. My total was $10.89 plus I had a $5 cat so total was $5.89. They include the sprayer and the can of spray and 3 AA batteries. Great deal

Every glade/scented product that has been on sale I have missed out on because of the stock being wipped out.

Was I wrong to wipe them out?

I would say...GOOD JOB....you drove to several places so you deserved as many as you wanted

you must be gluten for punishment to ask this question



good job tho on great deals!!

Funny you ask that today. I also normally do not. I bought some glade products at walgreens, I asked the cashier if they had more in the back. He said go ahead and get what you want we have a truck coming tomorrow.

( as I was leaving I felt so bad, the manager came to me and was like if you need me to order you anything just let me know by 12 on Wed. , I said I would not have taken them all but he said it was okay)

I felt so baddddddddd!!!!:(.

I mean I have been shopping before and had to get a rain check several times becuase items are not available. I even went to the store 3 times in one week and was always out.I do not get mad, I always get a rain check.
Glad you found what you wanted today.

I try not to wipe them out but sometimes it has to be done....if its a hard to find item or a hard to get one and i have had trouble getting it I will wipe the shelf out..I have twins that just trun 3 and I live way out of town so I have to get what I can in my shopping trips to make it worth it to me plus if the coupon are within a week of being out of date i will wipe it out then....but most of the time I will try to only take 2 or 3 at one time and leave some for full price payers...

tommorrow I have 6 different coupons that I am going to use and I have 10 of each so look out shelfs...

i won't lie,

i've done it before too. it was pure frustration and angerness on why i did it too.

12 walmarts and NO i motions? dang right i took all 5 when i found them lol

It depends - I have definitely taken the last 5 Glades from Target and not thought twice about it and I bought the last 6 Chinets too, but I don't think either amount is excessive to be considered 'shelf clearing'. I think the real reason I won't do it though is because I just don't have plans to buy that many in the first place. I have specific guidelines for myself when it comes to shopping and I just keep myself to them - so normally it does not involve shelf clearing. Even the items I plan to buy many, many of are usually well stocked and I'd have to buy 400 to clear the shelf!

It really depends for me. If it's something I know we need like 10 of and that's all they have left, then I will. If it's something I could live without getting all on the shelf, I will leave some for others. If it's something on clearance that's a super awesome deal, no way will I leave any!

Exactly my thoughts. I have to do whatever it takes for my family to survive because I live in a small town and it is hard to get the deals sometimes.

But what you guys are describing isn't what I think of when I hear "shelf-clearing". Shelf clearing is when you do what the jerk did at the ONE and ONLY Publix for 30 miles around here.

They restocked the Nestle morsels last night. Unloaded the truck and all. So they were FULL to the brim.

Some idiot came and bought ALL the morsels at 7:30 this morning.

I've been looking for those things for what now, two weeks? I was in there at 10:30, asking when they would be back in stock.

IDIOTS!
