    I noticed the same trend of WM not have great deals on the shelves. I kept telling myself it was because of the surge of new couponers. Now, after seeing more talk about this subject, I am really wondering if they are pulling items....I hate to speculate....

    I think it was last year they had out the hot $3/1 Nivea Body Wash coupons. I checked 3 or 4 WM's in one day and DH went to both stores here several times no stock-ever. I finally got it at Target.

    Since most WM's here are 24 hrs a day most couponers that shop there regularly know when trucks come in I'd bet. As soon as the shelves are stocked it's gone quick!

    So it's really a hit or miss. If you have a Harris-Teeter though you can score cheap/free drug store stuff from time to time. Like for example:

    Colgate Toothbrushes, Colgate Toothpaste & Nivea Lip Balm were all free last week.
    I had sanity once upon a time I promise . It was just so long agoooo that I can't remember it.

    Sounds like some stores are guilty of removing those items from the shelf, being caught in the act.
    But I'm not inclined to believe that it's a widespread practice. There are too many other reasons why shelves would be bare.

    It doesn't take a lot of coupons to wipe a shelf clean and with the ease of obtaining information on deals, I can see Walmart being flooded with couponers because of their very lax coupon policies. What other stores give overage?
    It hasn't been that long since they put their policy of allowing overage online, and therefore, lots of people are taking advantage of it.

    Most stores recognize the benefit of allowing overage, as a win-win. They get the customers, the store gets the money, the customer gets happy.

    So aside from the stores where management unfortunately has a negative view of couponing, and is missing the big picture, I would believe it to be more a matter of too many people going for the same deals.

    Our WM is pretty good about restocking--Walgreen's on the other hand here is awful. I'm new to this board but not to couponing. Definately don;t look faith--after a few months you will see your stock grow!

    Wow, Harris teeter sounds great! I looked up their store coupon policy and I read that they double as well, which is really neat. I don't live near one now but I'm actually moving to NC today, is there one in Chapel Hill?

    Yes there is!
    Chapel Hill, North Carolina (NC) | Harris Teeter Store Locations

    You will love it. Especially when they do super double events (coupons with face value of up to 1.98 doubled). Or the occasional but possibly disappearing triples (coupons with face value of up to .75 tripled).
    Come on over to the HT forum and check it out!
