Maybe it was done pre-free 1st aid bag.

This has been bugging me all night. I iterally woke up this AM and logged on to check and see if anyone reported her. If not I was going to try and find time to do it today.

The amount of abuse is insane, the K1 happy cashier exists only in the twilight zone, as far as I know, and her audacity to brag and video her antics is just mind boggleing! I truly believe this story has more to it. Internet hoax? Target conspiracy? Aliens invaded her body and snacked on her powers of common sense? Buller? Buller? Smilie

WTH is going on here? Never, in my many years of couponing have I seen anyone attempt to pull this horse crap and get away with it! She cannot be that stupid and still teach a class on her "methods". If so, why has she not been arrested yet? Or one of her "graduates" arrested. Seems the graduate made off with more than the teacher, nary cracking a smile.

I say the LA Looks and Lucky Charms were plants - coupons used to make it look like she was attempting something legit. but really just stupid items used to try and eat the overage. Lesson learned after the .03 cent total fiasco. Have you ever had a cashier who, "got a kick out of trying to make the register take your coupons?" Heck no - they don't even want to take the ones that scan and are beep free w/out issue lately.

I am truely disgusted by this walking, talking, homemade lobotomy.

I was also wondering about the lucky charms.. its not THAT good a deal for a couponer! And I was quite bothered at the end when she's saying how her q's won't go through.. bc 'I gave over 100 coupons and saved too much". C'MON! It wouldn't go through bc her subtotal was ZERO and it was tax!!! She got them to manually take it.

And all that tide/bounty. And then the $10 q's... whew! I see gleaming white teeth till here!

wonder if the Hot Pockets q was an old VRYL Mktg q LMAO or maybe just one she made herself. I kinda think she may be making some of these q's she was using.

Anyone think to report her comments to BeCentsAble? I mean, I did not read them, as by the time I got here they were all deleted... BUT, if she's blaming them for her fraud, maybe they should know they are being dragged into the muck. Just a thought.

Also, if she's teaching the "Diva Does Fraud Method " as a BeCentsAble instructor, well, I can imagine they'd want to know and put a stop to her, shall we say, shennanigans......................

the $3 hotpocket q is for the family size boxes that are like $10.
for the regular size boxes there was $1/3.

What a crazy day! I can't believe that video. Me thinks she needs some common sense. My Target is bad enough to shop at, they question every single Q. I can't imagine it getting any worse. But I guess it might now! Thanks Diva! Chairbash

So.........from what I gather she is claiming it's not fraud b/c "you look at the code, not the wording."

Even putting aside that argument....in that case what was with all the overriding? If she was right, wouldn't there have been no or fewer beeps???

She sure is getting some attention, but it's no the right kind Wink
Man...sure got sucked into this craziness. On her linked in [linkedin.com] page, it says her industry is LEGAL SERVICES Laugh1 I think she is gonna need some help in that area.

(I'd make some of my info private if I were her)

A few years back, lots of coupon blogs promoted the method of reading the barcode and using the Q on any item from that mfr. Now I don't see much of that out there, with the recent surge of couponing in the news. I saw videos of queens teaching classes explaining how to read the mfr code and use the coupon on anything. LMAO I don't think they could get by with that now, we'd be all over them! Glad I saw these last night before she pulled them all!

A TRUE coupon Diva would do a run, save $$$$ and not need any Q's K1'd or have anything beep.

Now that. I wanna see and learn from.

This B.S is just absurd. Coupon Diva my a$$

I've been thinking about this today. Maybe she's been watching all these "extreme couponing" shows and articles that have been linked here, and elsewhere, and she felt emboldened by their shopping success. I'm definitely not excusing her actions because we all feel the repercussions of this stupidity. I just wonder what in the world someone is thinking to post themselves on the web like she did. EEK!

Iagree I suppose since the Today Show didn't come knocking on her door to do a feature story on her, she decided to make her own. I wouldn't even dream of video taping my shopping trips LMAO

I think she has some insider at Target. No way she can do that at Target in my area.

well, cause she got greedy and rather than just read the code and use the coupon, she wanted to also use it on products that were half the price and get tons of overage, so she kinda wasted her time even matching code. When the item is less than the coupon amount, it is still gonna say "item not found". She may as well been buying a pack of gumLMAO not that I am saying she should have.. just making a statement that it really didn't matter what the code of the coupon and item were cause nothing over the amount was gonna attach beepless anyway. The whole thing was just kinda strange to me.
