Quote from patedog :
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 Frown), 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.
That is very nice for you to offer these booklets up. Sorry to hear about people you have been dealing with lately, yes it is sad. During the kmart doubles, not the last one, but the one before someone stole my coupon box when I left it in my cart. I didn't get back to the store quick enough when I realized and it was gone! Of course I left it in the parking lot where the camera did not reach, as I had security check the footage and they saw me wheeling my cart with the coupon box and then go off camera. I had at least fifty of the glade b2g1 candle coupons and numerous and I do mean numerous other free coupons like the lasting impressions. My P&G booklet that we bought products for to get the book in the mail was in there. Everyday I realize more coupons that were in there. The glade were all from products I bought, and thank god I didn't have my whole stash in the box or I'd have been completely screwed! I'm sure I had at least $2,500 in coupons in the box. I still think someone is selling them on ebay, I was very suspicious of a few past listing, but of course I can't prove it.

And if the person who took my box is reading this, thanks the F a lot. Karma will get you. You know that the box belonged to someone who wanted it back, as there was a shopping list, personal mail, tape, scissors, a stapler and more in it. You couldn't just take the coupons you wanted and turn in the box to customer service, you had to steal all of it a true thief you are. You know the economy is bad, when some dirt bag steals your coupon box. Thank God I didn't have my rr's from Walgreen's in it or my Kmart and grocery store cats, as I'm sure you would have stolen them to. So next time you leave something behind and it turns up missing tough sh*t, you deserve 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.

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!

Wave
Hey DS

Wow, it's been a year already... It's gone fast. I remember everyone banding together and trying to send you all the strips and splenda and stuff, It was nice to see everyone want to help you and your DS. nod

I'm sorry to hear he's got an infection, I hope it heals quickly. hug

Can't believe you had to pay full price.. OMG

Don't work to hard DS..

Does anybody ever get the "reach around" cashier? You know the one that reaches ALL the way to the back of the belt to get the little items.
I told her please ring them up in the order I put them....there is a method to my madness Crazy

She was like um...ok. Then I just slowly kept adding things and wondering what she would have done if I tapped her hand with that little order separater stick thingy. LMAO
I have this all the time.. They try to group the things together in the bag I think. But it drives me crazy. Sometimes mine even push things to the side and ring something else. I have started unloading my cart very slowly which almost forces them to ring in the order I put them up on the belt.

I also hate the people who get behind you and breathe down your neck. The other night I wanted to tell this guy off.. He was all up on the debit card scanner thing when I needed to use it. He acted like he didn't want to move. some people are so rude!

It rains stupid people around here! laugh out loud I swear I am still in shock about the whole thing. Only my DH and children understand about it. I swear no one gets it at all, this is the first I have posted about it as I am devastated and will never get over this. I mean yes life will go on, it has, but I will never forget or be nearly as trusting again. I think I know who might have taken it, the couple in the car by the cart return, but they didn't say anything. If it was them, I am so even more upset that they watched me do it, didn't say anything (like miss you left a box in your cart) and then waited till I left and then took it. That is what I think happened in my foggy brain anyway. It was night, we had been shopping for hours and hours all day, DH was mad at me because he said he wasted the whole day. We were late to see the movie I got fandango tickets for Star Trek.

We threw our stuff in the car and I grabbed the cart and headed for the cart return running across the parking lot. I got to the return, looked over at DH who was already in the car starting to move from the spot. Trying to hurry and having a million things on my mind, I just pushed the darn cart into the return as fast as I could and started running back to the car. Halfway back I happened to look back (probably my brain saying your coupon box, your coupon box, but I didn't get it), and noticed the couple in the car by the cart return looking intently at the cart return. The whole scene just stuck me as odd in my mind at the time, but I was in a hurry, not feeling well and just didn't get it. It all made sense later, what they were looking at that is. We went to see Star Trek and as soon as we got out of the movie, reality stuck and I suddenly was like oh my god my coupon box. Of course we went back and the store was closed and my coupon box was gone. I went back first thing in the morning and no one had seen the box or turned it in. It was gone before the cart boy collected carts twenty minutes later when the store was closing I was told later.

There wasn't many customers left, so I'm sure I saw the people who took it. I still feel ill over it. I just wish the people who were there could have at least left my box in the cart, even if they didn't want to take it in to customer service or something. If it were me I would have never messed with it, as it was not my property, so I just don't get it. I am having a hard time dealing with someone doing that when they even saw the person who left it behind and who they were stealing from. Nice, real nice people! Looking back now I'm pretty sure those people by the cart return got my box and it made their night, hell their whole year. As it was double coupons that week and customers in the store behind me, were amazed at my shopping total. Because everyone in line has to be all looking at your order in your business when you are using sooooo many coupons, it is taking forever and they are shocked by how low your total gets. You always hear I have to start doing what you do, I need to shop with you and so forth. So it was most likely someone who saw me saving and thought they would steal my box and do the same or get some quick cash on ebay. Well I have news for them it is not just having the coupons that make you a great shopper it takes a lot of skill, time and planning as we all know. It makes me sick as I think of each coupons expiration date as they pass and I say rip I hope you got used by a good person to the fullest. I am so angry that my at least 30 free bags of 16 oz kitten chow coupons won't be enjoyed by my cats or the millions of people I know with cats. I'm angry that the probably 40 renuzit bogo glass crystal elements coupons won't be put to good use to be sold at my sale to benefit my family. I am thinking of those two right now, as they expire the 31st among many others and I want them back. What if the fool who stole these is letting them expire right now? The thought makes me physically ill.

Anyway I finally had to tell my story to someone who would understand besides the immediate family, because anyone else I tell is like oh your coupons got stolen what a shame. They don't by far understand the value of what I lost. It is worse than someone coming in my house and stealing my television value wise, because I could have replaced my television three times over with the value lost in my coupon box, and we have a 46" HDTV, so you see what I mean. I know I won't trust people anymore like I used to, no more being easy going, as you always have to be on your toes or someone will kick you when you are down. And I guarantee I will never be that dumb again, so that some stupid asshat can get anything from me! Plus I pray daily that they get theirs! I gave someone a chance to turn it into the store by checking with the store for about a week hoping someone would take pity, but I knew that night it was gone forever! My husband thought for sure it would be in the store the next day, but I told him I know those people by the cart return stole it. I told him that night, why oh why couldn't I have been wrong? Thanks for the listen, maybe I can move on!

Thanks for sharing - I'll have to find you on the flip-side for reps!
I plan on picking up a few more copies...you can have mine we don't do jerky. I also have those Bufferin q's for you. Send me your addy so I can get them in the mail to you.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I think we've all lost or misplaced our coupon binder/box at least once, and know that feeling of OMG. I left mine in Target once, went back the next day and it was their, thank god, but I do remember how I felt, just like you.. sick to my stomach. Just thinking about all those coupons. Funny how important they are to us. They shouldn't be, but when you use them to supplement your income it is a huge loss.

All you can do is trade/buy more coupons and start again. I've had to do that just this last month, but for a different reason then you.

Here's hoping that some of us SD'ers can RAOK you some coupons to start you off again.

PM me with address and let me know what you are looking for and I will see what I can do for you.

hug

laugh out loud Tell her you are OCD and that they have to be rung up the way you place them on the belt or you will have to re-ring it all!!!! EEK! I had a room mate when I was younger that was really like this!!!! OMG The first time I went shopping with her she told me and I was like "WOW!" So it truly does exist out there in the world!! Roll

I always think of you as my flat earth contact. Never forget those chip q's, we love those here! No worries on the return, it was on GC anyway. Just thought you guys would find it amusing that I paid full price for the ones you are paying 1.68 for

gypsylady-that really sucks. Won't be on much this week but if you PM me your addy, I'll send you some q's

Gosh, that sux. That same thing ALMOST happened to me once. My DH and I had been shopping late at night. I was finishing unloading the car and he took the cart back. I said to him, make sure to get all my coupons (multiple boxes) from underneath the cart. As we were pulling away, we drove past the cart return and I saw my coupon sitting there, still on the cart. EEK! He was almost a dead man. laugh out loud

Not a new brand (actually pretty old) but it's a "healthy" brand that used to only be sold in health food stores. Guess they are branching out. Wink
