All you folks who hang out in the Target coupon thread, start hanging out here instead! When you've got something relevant to post about Target coupons, please post about it in the Target coupon thread! We'd love to hear about it, but NOT about your dog, your cat, your mom, your genital herpes, your... well, you get the idea.

Chef Michaels....i don't know how everyone else is doing it, but this is what I did: I bought the 4.64 bags (didn't realize the q's were for pouches) anyway, the bogo mfg q's are 01's so prompted for price. Cashier entered 4.64. Then the following three auto'd at 4.64 (dont know how or why)
. I also had 3.00 mfg qs too. I bought 8 bags, used 4 bogos and 4 3.00= 6.56. Also used 8 1.50 tq's for 5.44 overage. I also used the wet food q's too.
.
Teri, I havent used the chef michels cpns yet but last night while clipping I noticed there were 01 and 14...Maybe that is the reason for otto or a new update...

I know it varies a bit, but from my trip yesterday, I believe that the smaller boxes were like $2.94 or $3.24 and the jumbo boxes were TPC to $3.50 (not sure when it ends)

Thanks for the info BB. Does a better deal come out? I have .75/1 mq and 1.00 TQ - so that would be 1.24/1.75. Grr... I think I'll stick with the oatmeal.


Not related to shopping (well... maybe it could be):

DH and I checked our credit reports about a month and a half ago or so. They were a huge huge mess. There was a ton of wrong information and things that didn't even belong to us in our files. It has taken weeks to get most of it settled, but we finally did get a lot of it deleted off the file or updated with correct information. Definitely take the time to check and fix your reports. It takes some time, so it's good to check and fix errors before you actually NEED your report!!

Ok guys, not trying to be all Chicken Little here Whee but some very strange things are happening at my Target.
Coupons are beeping. Just beeping. I asked if they were going through, she said yes, but I could see on the screen that they were not. No "Item Not Found" no "How much is this item?" no nothing except a beep. No opportunity for K1. I can tell you not a single Starbucks coupons worked today. Zero. And that coupons used after 14's also did not work.

I have no idea how to even start to think about what this means. Or how to get around it Evil but it's not good! Down

On a positive note, I did find 2 Tags for $12.48 each, so free after mqs and $5 TQ! woot

Oh, I didn't notice that. So the 14's auto'd then, and the 01's didn't.

They beeped but didn't ask the cashier to do anything. I didn't notice until it had happened a couple of times and she kept reassuring me that the coupons were going through, but then I noticed that they weren't showing up on the screen, so I stopped handing them over. So she did keep a couple before I noticed what was going on.
I'm going to add up my receipt just to make sure they aren't invisible but I doubt it.

ETA: Added it all up, deducted all coupons listed on the receipt and came up with the exact same total. So no Starbucks coupons were factored in to the total.

This was in NE Ohio. The other weird thing is the Target printable coupons say Store Coupon $0.00 when scanned, but do show up correctly on the screen and on the receipt. So I know others have said their stores are doing this, so if your store has this update, they probably also have the awful one!

I JUST used Glade 16's at a different store on Tuesday, so maybe this was a 9/1 update?

This does not sound good but at my K whenever any cpn is scanned there is a beeping sound...I noticed it one day when everything was beeping..And then the cashier adjusted the sound in the system and I couldnt hear it, he told me it is just the sound for scanning cpns...Maybe something like that at T too....

I am trying to be +ve till you add up your receipt...

See above, I edited my post. What's weird is that I also used the 55 Starbucks coupons and those did nothing as well.

So wait - the cashier thinks they are being accepted - keeps the coupon - the coupon does not work (takes no money off) - Target keeps & submits to coupon to the manufacturer and is reimbursed for a coupon which was "accepted" but actually doesn't work???? Um ................ what?????

I second the question about SB - I don't understand what you mean - so they beeped and then took zero off? They were listed as zero?

This is not good!
