For those of you with Electrasol coupons wondering where to use them, CVS has them on sale 8/2 to 8/8 for 2 for $9 and there is an ECBs deal get $10 ECBs wyb $20 of Electrasol, so you buy 5 boxes at $4.50 = $22.50 - 5 $2.50 coupons = $10 and get $10 ECBs, so free after ECBs. Limit is one per card. Thanks to plgffl Smilie

Do any of you know anything about the Little Leaps game?
My GD got one for her b-day but her Mom bought it second-hand (but unused) I think. It's one you use with a dvd player
Are the games for it the same as all Leapster games or no ?
TIA
Ok - I don't have a plethora of info - but I will share what I know. I am not familiar with the DVD player.

We have the Word Whammer & the one before it Fridge Phonics I think? They have a new Fridge Phonics with a sun on it and a new version of the WW called New Fridge Words Magnetic Word Builder (I think Word Whammer sounds better lol) I have been told (and read) that it requires new letters --- ie ALL of the alphabet letters that worked on the WW & Original Fridge Phonics will not work on the new stuff ...... just in case you are buying stuff second hand to go with new stuff. As far as the "old" stuff goes the kids have LOVED them and made good use of them and the youngest ones still play with them!

We have the fridge farm animals and that has always been a hit with the kiddos but I never got the Fridge DJ thing.

We have the My First Leap Pad with the books & cartridges and I am not sure how much learning is actually accomplished - but it is a well played with toy. The cartridges from this can not be used on the older Leap Pads as they are wider/thicker for smaller hands - or marketing?

We have an old Leap Pad with Microphone & plain Leap Pad ... they are quite large and come with books and cartridges ... these cartridges are interchangeable. However, these are now outdated and you can only get used replacements for this stuff .... good find at garage sales or craig's list. Some of the ebay prices are CRAZY!

We have a Leapster LMax which is basically a glorified video game --- but there is some learning material there Smilie I always worried about the strength of the pen ... but it has held up. No problems. The Leapster 2 can use cartridges from the Leapster, Leapster LMax & Leapster 2. The LMax can use them from itself and the Leapster but not from the Leapster 2. The Leapster can only play its own cartridges ... ie it is backwards compatible but not forwards. This is the info that I got from the rep at Leap Frog's customer service center when we purchased the LMax.

There is a Diji now but that does NOT use the same cartridges as the Leapster stuff - it stands alone.

Then there is the Tag system of books - we got one of those and my son LOVES it much better than the LMax - but he is a story fanatic!!! For kiddos who are really really into video games the Leapster stuff is prob better. I see they now have the Tag JR - but I know nothing about that. HTH

Quote from TargetMagic :
I agree! I can't believe there are only 2 - one near Madison, the other Eau Claire. One in the Green Bay area & another in the La Crosse area would be nice. Then we'd have all 4 corners covered!

I've only been to the Fitchburg store about 4 times in the last year while traveling for soccer games, but I never had a problem with using more than 1 TQ / transaction. I think that's kind of silly anyway. How many people go to a store and only buy one of something when there's a coupon & it's on sale. I can see maybe 3-4 of each coupon if they want to limit it. Maybe things have changed since I was there last. I know it's always a YMMV when it comes to using coupons at Target!
Yes - it just seems that at the moment they are really being hard nosed about coupons to the point of ridiculousness! Especially when they set different limits if you are buying stuff and not using coupons from if you are using them. But hey - that is what they do.

There is new that there is possibly another new Target being built in Madison near Hilldale but they don't know which kind .... HOPE for a ST that is coupon friendly!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the help. I haven't looked at it myself, my DD just told me the name of it.
I think I'll try to google it and see if I can find any more info on it.
Hope all of you are having a great day

My sister in law lives near Waukesha, and she said that there is a bidding war currently going on down there between ST and SW. ST was under negotiations with the city to build and now SW is trying to keep them out....who knows how that story will develop in the months to come...

Oh please let it be a ST! Even though the kiddo doesn't go to St. John's anymore. I would love a ST somewhere in the Milwaukee area. Somewhere anywhere that is within an hour's drive for me. Grafton Target is a baby one, which is the closest one for me and it is godo for a gallon of milk and that is about it for food. So...and hour north makes it to Manitowoc, west of me is like Menominee Falls. and hour south is Racine and southwest is Delafield/Waukesha. woot woot I skipped east because there is a HUGE lake there across the street from me, and the car ferry is no where near me. Cool

I heart the Grafton T - it's where I got the EvenFlo travel system on clearance a couple weeks back! But apart from that, I totally agree with you! FdL and Oshkosh are the closest for me, but my mother-in-law lives in Waukesha - I'd love a reason to go there and visit her! Teehee

Yeah - well the story here is weird - it is a location that used to be a cinema/restaurant/etc and they tore it all down and dug a HUGGGGGGGGGGE hole in the ground and Whole Foods was supposed to be building an 55,000 foot place. They have pulled their offer and will no longer be building there and it has sat empty and all "ugly" for almost a year now ... maybe more I lose track of time. The folks at Hilldale are up in arms because mucho $$$ have been spent in updating/renovating/snootifying the area and they have a huge gravel pit & hole! LOL

So Target came in and put in an offer but the local businesses (especially the grocery store there) is fussing that they can not handle the additional parking, traffic, (read competition) etc. Target said it is considering which level of Target would fit best - but thinking about the hole I don't think that a 186,000 square foot ST plus parking would fit ... heck I think they would be hard pressed to fit one of the 127,000 sq ft general stores. Target has said they are looking at "adjusting designs" to fit in with the architectural design of the Hilldale shopping area. LOL We shall see .... but still rooting for a coupon friendly one!!!!!

Hope y'all get a coupon friendly one in your neck of the woods!!!!

We had this. The games are not the same as the other leapster games. This is actually just a glorified remote control for your DVD player. And to be honest, ours didn't work very well. I'm not sure if the games are still around even?

I posted in the Deals thread, but I had a somewhat bizarre run tonight. Started with my cashier writing the values of all of my bogos/b2g1s on the coupons. She wrote the autodeducted values and didn't mess with anything, but very well could have. EEK!

Someone else told me her cashier did this over the weekend too. And I could've sworn I heard two employees (not ringing at the time) discussing something on the register and heard the words "deducted max value". But then again:
Serenade I'm paranoid, I'm paranoid and everybody's coming to get me....just say you never met me!"

tootsie67: My summer stuff was 30% off. HTH

Oh I used that $2/$10 hasbro wyb chips, dip and it beeped INF even though I had all of the right items. I made sure I got Family Size bags of chips and even checked to make sure my 9 oz dip would count. I bought Spongebob Connect 4. Not sure what's up with that.

Bet there's no slickdeal on that service...

And wouldn't they want Monday to speed along with humps--er, bumps--if they were conscientious working girls?

Or is Monday an "off-day"?
