nothing wrong with that-i've seen what goes in some of those dumpsters some stores in the back & it's a shame check sears & see what baby clothes with tags still on them, my son when he worked for kmart said he was told to throw away a stroller that was returned and when he questioned why was he being told to throw it away they took a blade & shredded it & was told that's why(he was laid off two weeks later
rreason being lack of work)

sorry to have gotten off track -it just reminded me of that

if you ask the management over at any chain store im sure they will save ya the inserts also. i like the digging for the inserts from the recycleing bins never thought of that

One time the newspaper had a coupon for a free pack of cigarettes and I knew a guy who drove around and took all the coupons out of every paper in the newspaper machines all over town. It wasn't me honest

That's great, the paper carrier who brings the washington post to my job, gives us the coupons left from the papers that he didn't sell the week before.
