More Coupon Policy Crackdowns

I am NOT going to say that I told you so. No matter if you think Extreme Couponing is hoarding or simply a good deal,  you had to know that the doo doo was going to hit the fan soon or later. There is no way that people are going to continue to get thousands of dollars worth of grocery items for free, brag about it and even get paid BY the grocery stores, without something being done. 

Publix and Target  (both links go directly to that store's policies)have both announced widespread changes to their coupon policies. Both stores are adamant that it has nothing to do with extreme couponing, but I am willing to bet my keyboard that it most certainly does. 

I stand behind my statement, How Extreme Couponing Is Ruining It For Us All. I would also like to add that no matter how many packages of diapers you buy in that event that you might have a child someday, how many deodorants you donate to the food pantry, or what poor, single mother you are helping support by purchasing her clipped coupons off of Ebay (sorry, purchasing the act of her cutting the coupons, NOT purchasing the coupons), you know that is is not right. Skirt the law all you would like, but it is simply not the right thing to do.
