This is one of those posts I lovingly refer to as random blah blah. I usually choose to leave most opinion out of the blog. I've always kind of taken the “stick with the deals” approach. Who cares what I think. But, an email from a reader and recent behavior of other coupon websites has made me take a second look at this blog and my own coupon ethics.
The coupon in question is the $5 printable coupon that's been running a secret campaign on Coupons.com. It made me laugh, cry and even get angry, when I watched as several large websites (most located along the east coast) published the coupon telling people to use zip code 84711 to access the HIGH value Kellogg's coupon.
Annabella, Utah is located in Sevier County, and from what I could find out has a population of somewhere around 1,000 people. Based on this town population, there were probably less than 100 coupons available for printing. That's just a guess.

July 8, 2011 at 7:33 pmI can share in the frustration of this particular coupon. I went to print only to find out that they were all gone. I live in zip 84124 so it is frustrating. I have always felt dishonest using a different zip other than my own. Like you said, certain zips have certain coupons & I’m sure there is a reason for that. I don’t think these other sites should be telling their thousands of readers to use a zip that the coupon was intended for if it is not there own
