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? *SNIP*
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.
Oh my gosh...I want to rep you for that.
You said the exact same thing that I stated a few times.
Most people say that they aren't doing anything wrong esp when they have large families, helping tons of others, etc. We all know it still looks the same as the S&Gers sadly.
I think that many ppl need the deals to help them pay for everyday items but some people are just going nuts & it does no one any good. shake head

Quote from doublesided :
*SNIP*
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!!
I have & bought several nuggets and didn't have the TQs...oh well
we should have swapped DS. wave

Quote from laTeri :
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!
I am with you Teri....It is just me & a few employees again.

Quote from crownline266 :
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.
be careful, you will get mod alerted for that statement nod

I usually visit the manufacturer's website, whoever makes the product for the coupon you have. Usually somewhere on the website, they will list their other products.

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.
Hey, I got a lot with the glade. Its not my fault that T put out a deal THAT good for 2 months time frame when there were awesome MFQs out there!! I also did not figure out the overage there either UNTIL the deal was over! They could have ended that GC deal early but they didnt. From what I remember, the MFQs came out for the glade before the GC deal was announced.

They did the same thing with the P10, MFQ for BOGO and then T had their own $5Q. I did get a lot of GCs but I went to MANY different Targets and over the whole 2 month time frame.

I think you're thinking negatively here. I'm talking about using 100 battery coupons in one transaction. To fly under the radar would be to use two in one transaction and not 100 coupons. I guess I should have spelled that out.

Please don't shoot me!

That being said....I've read the last 10 pages or so, and I was wondering about the $10/$50 qpon and flying under the radar. I don't want to ruin anything for myself or others.

Here's what I've been doing, am I wrong??????

I buy stuff that I have q's for like Glade, Rayovak, Disney, Dixie, Goody and a few others things w/o q's(laundry soap, food), to get my total up over $50. Then I hand over the 10/50, then the Glade, the 3/15, and then whatever other q's I have, and usually end up w/a subtotal of under $5 + tax.

Am I supposed to buy more stuff so my OOP is higher, or am I doing ok. I really don't want a higher OOP, kwim?

I'll take whatever you "teacers" have to say into consideration. I thought I was doing a SD, but now I'm wondering if I'm going to shoot myself in the foot by doing it this way.

Thanks bunches,
Steph

I have some questions for some long-time Targeteers.

I received a pass for "10% off an entire day of shopping" in my mailbox. It's the first thing I've ever gotten from Target. It's from a Target baby registry thing I had filled out a LONG time ago. It says "Save 10% on all your registry items for one entire day at all Target stores. Please bring your registry print out and this certificate to any Target store to save on items left on your registry."

Do you have to have your registry to use this? Will it work on everything that I buy in that transaction..? It also says "Check expiration date, scan UPC, and return to guest." Does that mean it can be used multiple times? Over multiple weeks, or JUST for that one day..? Just wondering if anyone has experience with one of these. Please feel free to PM me if you don't want to discuss anything here. Thanks for the help.. Smilie.

Quote from megnsamsgrace :
1) Congrats Thrifty

2) Just printed Qs off target.com from home

3) I am sooo pissed at all the crap that was pulled with T lately (from S&Gs to newbies getting 100 plus batteries) I havent really had issues in 2 years of Targetting. Now, today I go to 1 store. No probs with IPCs but she says one per purchase means one per transaction. I said no, if it meant one per transaction it would SAY it... so I pull out one that does state 1 per transaction. No go. I said fined, then lets ring them all separate. She sighs and was like let me call A&P. I said void the entire order. All $500+ of it (trying to use my last 12/31 Qs... I did only have 4 of each item (disney DVD, light saber, batteries.. no TGIF as they dont carry it at this one) but it was the fact that they were so stupid about 1 per purchase vs 1 per transaction. The letter in the wiki did me no good either.


THEN I go to another one closer to home. Nothing about 1 per purchase, she says NO internet coupons per corporate because of fraud! I was like WTF? Go to veri-fi.com and verify my coupons! I couldn't use TGIF, Post Its, the star ones or the didsney DVD ones. NONE! I said void the order, I will get my glade, milk, bread and the disney dvds that I have peelies for.

This is ridiculous and makes me mad. Some stupid idiot scanning that hanes Q in probably has something to do with the "fraud" issue. And all the S&Gers out there doesnt help. Cant people understand that this is a way of life for some? I have a savings account only because I havent used cash at T in a long time. I do have enough GCs to cover my groceries at T for the next few months but still...to have things change like this stinks. Pretty soon its going to be NO coupons at all. I know I can get good deals with insert coupons but sometimes there are GREAT IPC coupons (I now have 20 DIsney $3 Qs I cant use).

Sorry if I am coming across as a witch but this makes me mad. I rely on Target to keep my household costs running smooth and to be able to get things I normally wouldnt. My kids actually have a nice collection of Disney DVDs thanks to coupons Smilie Sorry, rant over. Going to call corporate but I assume it will do no good.

I agree with you about the S&Ger's, but at my Target's just the fact that 1000 people (probably many more) from SD or other sites of course come in and each only use 4 coupons to get say free batteries. Even though each person is only getting 4 each, which is reasonable, at the end of the day hundreds of free coupons were used altogether. When my battery coupons were turned down at a Target recently, it wasn't because of how many I was using at all (only 4 or 5 I believe), it was that everybody and their brother, sister, mother, father and kids were coming in and getting 4 or 5 for free is what the cashier told me.

So yes S&Ger's do hurt things for everyone much faster of course, but volume of people also kills the deal eventually anyway.

Yes plus to add on to what others are saying it is not a good idea to brag about all the free things you get from Target, but if everyone doesn't think Target notices anyway they are wrong. They know say what gift cards were issued in a glade deal and that 35 were used to buy PS3 or whatever people are buying. All the gift cards can be easily traced and tracked.

That being said is why I rarely pay for things with a credit card at Target, I figure it is bad enough they can trace gift card use, but for them to know exactly how much in coupons I use, my personal buying habits etc... is a bit much for me. I like to keep it under wraps a bit more, but know if they really wanted to track a transaction that bad they could go to the camera's at the time of the transaction. I don't think my purchases would ever call for that, but some people buying big things with several deal gift cards might want to keep that in mind.
