For those who don't venture into the deals thread any longer, I just posted this:

Just a heads-up that there is a TQ in the Chicago Tribune today, first section, page 3 or 4, for $2/1 GE Light Bulb package. Just shows a picture of a regular package of light bulbs. Expires 10/2/09 and does NOT include the "One coupon per transaction" language.

I'm really getting Cold about the T size updates!! I might have to turn into a S&Ger if this is the apocalypse!!
Iagree

Keep in mind there is always K Evillaugh

Well, it only took me an hour to get baby down for a nap. Gonna have to wake him up by 12:30 to eat before his appt. He's getting shots today so I say take out for dinner...gonna be a long night!

Not for all of us Sadwalk if T goes away it will be bad bad bad we do not have most of the store at which y'all shop!

Hope he has a good nap & the shots are not too traumatizing to Mum! Sending HUGS and hope you get yummy take-out!

Quote from .teri. :
I'm glad he's on the other side of the country. Rolleyes 44 bags of salad just because you can, and then donate it. Donating is all fine, but how about the stuggling single mother who would love to buy salad for her children but cant because some greedy asshat just bought ALL 44 bags, just because he has a shopping problem. Soap Box Ranting

Sorry Meesh haven't gotten there yet - small run last night the kiddos were just NOT in the mood and it was a fiasco --- NO alpo coupons accepted in way yours were - BOGO beeped for price (think she was scanning wrong) so no useful news. I will be trying again later this afternoon/evening. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

I get so tired of hearing about shelters and food banks, etc. etc. Sure, donate to them rather than let items in your pantry expire, but don't take affordable food out of struggling families mouths just because you have this urge to get as many free things as you can to 'donate', regardless of whether you need it or not. Families on tight budgets that use coupons deserve to find stock in the grocery store, and it makes it hard when some nin com poop goes in and buys 44 bags of salad just because it's free and it feeds his ego to find the deal.
worship worship worship WHAT SHE SAID!

Ok - it has become quiet - have y'all had even worse updates and are now in shock and unable to post?

Totally OT ---- WHY oh WHY do some (yes I know NOT all) fathers go on and on and on about how they want their sons to play sports/be tough/yadda yadda yadda and then pay NOT attention to them except to yell at them and call them sissies? Stupid! Not all kids are athletic & with some of the other challenges JR has the fact that he can't play sports so doesn't matter. SIGH - I swear I am finding a coupon for a giant baseball bat to smuck some sense into some folks! Sorry - just wanted to vent!

Yep, I'm glad I'm not in Seattle as well.
EEK!..I know the hefty was free but still...Do you just bring up an entire box of hefty to the cashier and tell them you are buying it all and then use cpns to make it all free...

I have NO idea - I can't imagine doing that - I can't imagine any manager allowing that! I am sure that doesn't fall under "reasonable family quantities"

Hmmm - I replied to you Meesh where did it go? Best of luck with your expotition --- I will be doing one later! HUGS

Weird - Target updates --- disappearing posts - what is this world coming to! Hope you have a wonderful shopping trip - sending WINDSHIELD thoughts!!!

Thanks - and just so you don't think I am totally crazy I used the term "Expotition" as I have been reading Winnie the Pooh to my son and Pooh goes on an Expotition to the North Pole ... rather than an expedition --- so I am not entirely nuts!

I replied to Meesh and it was gone??

Teri - 4Busy & IANAA reported that when using Alpo & something (pounce maybe) that the register did not beep or ask price but only took off cheapest item .....

Yup I agree - I wish there was moderation!

Man I am out of reps AGAIN!

Fine last night. It happens sometimes. It happened to me a couple of times, but then worked beautifully the next. Who knows...I think it has to do with how the q is scanned. Updates usually hit on Mondays.

I have mixed feelings about the whole stockpile thing. I do resell a lot of what we dont use personally. Large ammounts go to a lady that has severe anxiety and does not go shopping - I guess you could say I'm her personal shopper. *shrug*

Now, there are times I have wanted a large quantity of things just because they were free/mm. There was a mm at my grocery store lately with playtex gloves - free after coupon + 5.00 overage with every 10 you bought. I went in and special ordered 300 gloves from 4 different stores. About 1/2 came in prior to the sale end, the other half came late. With the first half, I got the overage but not on the 2nd 1/2. The key here, though, is that I special ordered the huge quantity. Did I need 300 gloves - no. Even with the cleaning I do, I can't use that many. Some got donated to the church, some we kept for personal use, and some are going to be resold. I know there's differing opinions on doing this - so I'm not trying to start a war. It's what I do to help out our family.

It also helps to have many stores at my disposal. I have at least 9 Wags in a decent radius, 8 Kroger, and 4 T's.

Ok, went to a different store and everything was back to what I was used to! woot Even tried the Starbucks again just to be sure and they did their thang. However, the TQs did NOT ring up as Store Coupon $0.00 there, so I am even more convinced that that is one way to know if your store has this godforsaken update.

Glade Fabric and Air Odor Eliminator TPC for $2.49, many had free peelies on them and 2 had the $2 TQs on them (expire 10/31) so overage!

My son just gave me a big kiss and said he had a really good day at school today! Yahoo!
