Star Ethical implications of couponing.

I'm taking an ethics class this semester, and we have talked about the virtue of temperance more than once. Temperance is avoiding extremes, like greed or self-denial. My professor mentioned the example of not buying every item on the shelf, no matter how good the buy, as an example of temperance. I understand the reason for this, and I am striving to be a better person, but it's hard not to buy every item if, say, there are only three items left and I will really use it. I guess it's situational, in some respect. If there are three of a product left that I actually need, I don't see a problem. Maybe it's taking 10 of a product just to get the deal, even if i don't need it, that is bad. What do you guys think? I just want to be temperate in my couponing but it's hard to sometimes!
