Really how is ANYONE freakin surprised that T doesn't want to take coupons anymore, they are limiting q's to one per transaction, when people are THANKING T and glade for all of the free things that they got in the past month? Yes, I am sure T is thrilled that someone got an xbox for free, a wii, etc....

Why can't it ever just be enough to get good deals? Why do people consistently need to flaunt it and put stupid sh*t in their signatures or even discuss how much they ripped off T this week. Oh, my favorite are the people that get pissed off when Target finally figures out they've been screwed out of a couple grand and put a stop to it.

It's cool, go ahead and brag about how T paid for this and T paid for that....but then just suck it up when T puts a stop to it.

Well Poo Poo, no reason we can't talk about shampoo too! laugh out loud I wouldn't chance it, I'd use them.....that being said...and since I said it, there will probably be a GC deal.
That's good advice. I'll probably start using 1 or 2 a week and then do a bunch of runs at the end if there's no GC deal in between. I would rather use them and get the poo poo for free than have them go to waste.

Quote from TargetMagic :
I just put all my TGIF into the handivac bags and tried to suck all the air out of the bags and couldn't get it to work. What am I doing wrong? I don't have the bags filled to the top, I put the suction cup on the little circle and press the button. I can feel it sucking, but the bag never gets the air out - at all. I tried 4 different bags, each with different items in them. (mozarella sticks, chicken balls, potato skins, and buffalo wings) I couldn't get any of them to work. Am I doing something wrong, or do I have a defective handivac? I've used it once before and I had a hard time getting it to work, but it did. HELP! I don't want my TGIF to get freezer burn!

I've had that problem as well. I'm wearing mine out though so may need a new one but some tricks. First make sure the bag is sealed even if you think it is sometimes i find its not. Sometimes I have to place the little circle thing on top of something to make the bag more level. I'll get out my spoon rest turn it upside down and put the cirle on there and then begin "sucking" sometimes i have to move the machine around alittle to get it to work. HTH.

target took down the target.com coupons.

also many stores are saying no more IPC's and it's a message coming down from corporate. letter in wiki is no good if stores are getting conflicting info

I apologize, I am still trying to catch up with my reading the thread. Are you referring to the coupons are taken down at the kiosk? I see the coupons on target.com. (or... maybe they were down and now back up? ) TIA

agreed jen, you are right on the money. everyone has been flaunting how much crap they got from target with glade and then we are surprised when target limits coupons? Please everyone, get a grip. tyson, disney, etc brought us to where we are now, it's not just the hanes q new issue.

congrats thrifty and flugettte!!

well wishes mama--buying a house is fantastic!

we bought sleds today so pray for snow!

teri--next year take the week off, it's way too boring to work this week

Yup, they were taken down and now they seem to be back up again. weird but whew--if they got rid of target coupons the food deals would be limited

now to find tyson, I have looked in 3 targets and they are out of the nuggets I need for the kid!!

Don't think I didn't try, but I was only allowed one week, and it had to be the week BEFORE. If I had my choice it would have been the week after but I am lucky to have gotten a week, so...... here I am today bored to no end!

Does anyone have trouble with the Durex q's? My T wouldn't take them. The manager said that if they beep they won't take them.
Dontknow

It was my first time going so I was a little confused. Goody's & TGIF coupons worked fine though.

Jen, Totally agree. No wii or Xbox here...just thankful for maybe a gallon of milk every few weeks from overages. I think the newbies see some bragging and think "Oh, I can do that!!" and go overboard. The key to everything is moderation and flying under the radar.

Quote from crazy4vs :
Thanks doublesided. Well that just stinks about the coupons. They said there were some changes come down about coupons about a month ago. I guess it was true Mad
Congrats Thrifty! I have been using those coupons expiring on the 31st like crazy!! I need another chest freezer because I have nowhere to go with it all. Better get eating. I'm going to Walmart tonight to use some of the other coupons I have that are expiring. I went to a different Target today in Green Bay and found 2 great cashiers! I actually did 3 separate transactions and finally used a $10/$50. Cool Then it was off to WAG to do the Robi deal. Only $5 printed and the manager wouldn't give me a giftcard for the other $5 - he wanted me to send in my receipt and get my RR. I told him I'd rather return the stuff! Mad
I sure hope Target doesn't stop taking IP coupons. That would really stink!

Quote from kazey901 :
Congrats to Flugette for her bouncy bundle of joy!

And hug congrats Thrifty on the great news!!
I must be the old one! You're all having babies and I think I'm starting menopause! LMAO

Reading all the posts about Target getting so strict in IPQ is making me sad. most of the time I use the IPQ, they are easier to get my hands on! Luckily the store closest to me I've had no problems with any q's. I haven't been there since Friday though and am planning a run tonight and tomorrow to use some expiring q's.
Congrats to Flugette and Thrifty. I want another one soon!

Just for kicks and giggles...does anyone have a site that tells you what items share the same family? I found a few sites, but they seem older and not updated. Thanks in advance.
