Someone STOLE my coupons!!

**bamamomto4** · 02-25-2005, 01:29 PM

I was in the grocery store yesterday and had turned my head for 2 mins.When I turned back I noticed a lady walking up in front of me,which I didn't think anything of at the time. Well,I put my item in the cart and was reaching for the rest of my coupons and the whole coupon binder was gone!!!!!! I had just had it when I turned my head so the only thing I can figure is,that lady stole them

I went back through all the isle's I'd been on and looked everywhere,asking people along the way if they'd seen it!!! Even went to the service desk before I left. I hated to think someone had stole them

The only good thing is 1) She didn't take my purse,and 2) the coupons I already got items for was in my checkbook,so I did get to use about 10 or so.

I am so bummed. I just went through my coupon binder and had it all organized and had a good supply......Why would someone take my coupons?

I was so upset I didn't even finish all my shopping. I gotta go back today for a few things and guess I'll buy another coupon binder and start all over come Sunday. Hope there's coupons in the paper....

That is so dirty of her. Please pm me your addy and I am going to send you a bunch of coupons.

That's terrible!! What a horrible thing to have happen! Lemme see what I can do to help out. What kinds of coupons do you normally clip?

I guess it's kinda like stealing money. Never heard of that before though.

That's pretty low of that lady to steal your coupons. But like you said, at least she didn't steal your purse.

**bamamomto4** · 02-25-2005, 02:17 PM

I didn't post this for people to offer me coupons,although I do greatly apperciate it. I just wanted to share it with everyone

I still can't get over it. I mean of all the things to take.....

Hugs Tammy, just the same.

Tammy

I'm so sorry!

**Mom23boys** · 02-25-2005, 02:55 PM

How wrong is that!!! I can't believe that someone would stoop so low as to steal someone else's coupons!! I wonder if she knew what it was?

I would have been so upset that I wouldn't have been able to finish shopping either.

Tammy,
I don't use coupons and I always send them to someone on FV. I would rather share with my friends, than to toss them.

So it's your turn, coupons will be mailed Monday. HUGS!

Oh my gosh, how horrible! The sad thing is it had to be another couponer because the rest of the world seems to think coupons are useless.

I'm willing to share too. I know you didn't post this to get coupons, but I have a whole envelope of ones I won't be using because it is not stuff we use. I'm happy to share if you can use any of them.

How awful!

i have strips of velcro that i use to keep mine closed (so it doesn't pop open and spill out all the coupons) when i have it in the cart, i have set up the straps to be long enough to strap it to th eback of the shopping cart seat. so it has always been my kids back rest.

if you can find velcro that comes in rolls (no adhesive). it comes with the hook on one side of the piece and loop on the other side, so when you wrap it attatches to itself. I found this in elecrtician supply at lowes or home depot. works great.

like this...mine isn't stretchy though, but this would work too.

you could use it to keep your binder closed, and to strap it to the back of the shopping cart child seat.
