RETIRED: Target Chit Chat

OT (no sippy cup talk )
I just got my new ALL YOU magazine and there is a q for Jack Links free buffalo Chicken Nuggets up to 7.97. It's an 01, but a good q for jerkey lovers.

I'm working my butt off right now for past 4 hours/4days/4weeks/next 4 months, etc and am taking a break to tell you this story.

DS had his one year diabetes anniversary today. For those of you around for a while, agree with me that it does not seem like a year has gone by. We had wanted to do something nice for him, beach day or one of his favorite museums but he's very sick with an infection from his pump site (since Monday) and we need to keep him chilled out. So after breakfast he throws his cup (munchkin straw cup) and the lid cracks. Are you kidding me--second one in a month! So now down to 3 and he loses them all the time. Decide to do a very quick run and try to find the cheap ones. They had the cups you all are referencing but they were full price. So we bought one anyway!!! LOL everyone--I'm the only one this week who paid full price for sippy cups!

PS-we noticed pools are 50% off. I picked one up at 75% last year, it's gigantic. Wish the tivoli gazebo would get marked down a bit again, still hitting myself for not getting a RC for that.

Oh well. Break over. Must finish this so I can have a decent day tomorrow.

PSS-DH asked me how many more snapple q's I have left. Should have let him read your initial posts. Will he ever learn?

I wish I would have gotten a RC too.. won't be going today. Got an all day adventure with the family for my DS birthday!

As far as the razors go, I had no problem selling mine for 4.00 each. Only had a few people ask for a lower price. I quickly reminded them that the fusion razor they were wanting for 2.00 sold for 9.00+ at the store.. and they bought it for my price. I sold all of my intuitions, fusions, and one other brand.. only kind I had left was a few of the bic soliel. Lots of people asked about the refills and I didn't have many, so I have picked up quite a few of those this week at target too.

I hope the infection clears up quickly.

Sorry, I should have been more specific, I was meaning safeway

I'm around. Mostly been on my crackberry. I took Weds/Thurs/Friday off to try and beat this bronchitis. Day 31 and still coughing. Ack! DH has had it for 2 weeks and sounds worse.

Yesterday Mini's friends threw her a going away beach party. The kids planned it all by themselves and did a great job. I said I would go and chaperone part of the day but couldn't be there all day given my current sickness/condition. Mini's BFF secured a mom for the first half and then another mom for the second half. Well, let's just say the bitch (mom) that said she'd chaperone the second half didn't show up. Well, she was at the beach with her younger (8 yo) child but sat conveniently down the beach out of view. The party wrapped up at 8pm and the mom (different mom) that was picking up Mini and her 3 other friends for a sleepover was 40 minutes late picking them up. By this time I could hardly breathe. This mom pulled up and was all smiles with a great big "how are you doing ?" I was pissed, couldn't catch my breath and was coughing ALOT. I replied, "I'm sick with bronchitis for 4 weeks, due with this baby in 4 1/2 weeks and should NOT have been here all day." She tried to chat it up. In the mean time I still have to walk 2 blocks to my freaking car. I said, "I gotta get to my car and home pronto." All the while wheezing. Ya know, I am so glad she had a nice relaxing evening at home By the time I got home I could barely walk as my lower back was screaming at me for standing on concrete and sitting on shitty ass picnic tables for over 8 hours. DH and I spent the night coughing and hacking to the point of gagging. It was horrible.

FTR I really toned down how I feel about last night.

The only silver lining in the last few days for me is that my OB wrote me out on maternity leave starting Monday. I will have to go in and wrap up a few things and give my boss the paperwork, but after that I can stay at home getting things wrapped up for the baby and move and rest when I need to.

I cannot believe I have not been to T all week and I ordered razor coupons. Stoopy bronchitis!

check out this post on TBR:
You are right, but a lot of times the people stack the coupons... use 1 manufacturer's coupon and 1 Target coupon per item. This is allowed.

One of the main reasons why the register beeps with item not found with a coupon is because the coupon is worth more than the product ($1 coupon for a .99 cent trail size). In that case, they need to be manually entered to make the product free and then you write .99 cents on the coupon.

And for the coupon abusers, if you will notice... most of the have you ring up a gift card as the first item and most of the time those gift cards are for around $10. This helps for their "overage" not to show and so their total will not go under $0. Most of these "abusers" use $1, 2 $5, etc coupons on trail sizes so their overage from that coupon ends up paying for other items they are getting.
I once had a woman give me the $5 Tylenol coupon for the .99 cent trail size. If it had gone through, her total would have been -$4.01 but the gift card she added at first would have let that slide and it would not have gone noticed to an untrained eye. This is why they try to go to a young looking guy on a register.

I've had a couple of the worst weeks ever. I'm getting conditioned to not want to go to work on Mondays. The past two have been devastating. I'm sad and it's hard to get a grip on it.

I'm working my butt off right now for past 4 hours/4days/4weeks/next 4 months, etc and am taking a break to tell you this story.

Oh and another thing about yesterday. . . . I ended up picking up the cake only after being put behind schedule by this same girl and mom going to Walmart at the time Mini was supposed to go to their house as a decoy to the surprise party. seriously? Mom is a SAHM and the girls planned this party for over a week. WTF did they go to Walmart right before the party?

Personally I think that whoever posted this stuff in the Target Break room is someone who reads this forum or another similar forum based on what they posted. I don't regularly read the Target thread, but I know I have seen posted many times where people will say they look for the younger male teenage cashiers to check out with as they make the best cashiers. Also I have seen numerous people post how they bought a gift card to soak up overage. Of course I agree that those posting usually say they bought a $25 or $50 gift card, not a $10 gift card, but I'm sure whoever posted is getting the ideas from the forums. Then they are probably watching the shoppers with coupons after reading. I find that more likely than they realized all this themselves. Of course some cashiers probably do see things on their own, but I think many learn from the forums like we do.

Methinks the deal will get shut down pretty quickly with the likely swarm.

I have a handful of these in already. They were at my local grocery store. Since reading all your posts gave me something to do during my maternity leave (which ended April 09 ), I wanted to offer them to you all first. If anyone is interested please PM me and I'll send you my mailing address so you can send a SASE. I have 6 and would like to spread them around so I'd like to only send 2 or 3 per person (so I'm looking for 2-3 requestors). I'd love to use these myself, but my husband is really trying to help me eat healthier and none of these products are very healthy. Oh well. OP has entire list of Qs and rebate guidelines posted. Please rep OP as well.

Side note: I did notice they are already being sold on fleebay. I hope who ever requests them is actually intending on using them and not selling them, but to each their own. I can't control what you do with them. Sorry this was intended to be lighthearted and good natured but I've been really disappointed in the world lately with the lack of integrity and personal accountability with many the people I've been dealing with lately. I am in my mid-20s and am just realizing how "bad" people can be :S. I guess my disappointed nature is hurting my free spirit right now.
