What is a Chopped Beef Baked Potatoes?

The $5 Aveeno Vitality stuff has a rebate and add that to the $5 mfq and a RA $5/$25 and the in ad $5 Q this week and you can try it kinda cheap

so being the SUPERMOM I am I hand him a children chewable pepto from my purse then stroll down the aisles fillin up my cart. He has no passed out on to his big sisters lap in the 'two kids below one up in the normal area buggy', So I hurry up and get the birthday gift I actually went in for and go...he passes out in the car so I leave the air on full blast and get headed home when I hear it....................vomit ALL OVER HIM, the carseat and the entire 3 foot diameter of the car -- Off goes the A/C, and down the windows because we are still about 20 minutes from home and we are in friday evening traffic - we finally made it to Gmas house and she has a bath ready and I hose down the car -- like I said Yay Me!
vomitvomitvomitvomitvomit I can't stand throwup. It's my weakness.

Dazzled - I had to laugh at your story - as a while ago I had a similar experience ... it was in a Civic hatchback ... 3 kiddos in the backseat and the one in the middle barfed EVERYWHERE ... it was that lovely projectile dragon vomit that can kill at 300 yards just from the smell. My oldest son who was sitting on the right tried to claw his way through the side of the car to get away from it as it covered him and the backseat and all of its occupants. We pulled over and piled out & cleaned it up to the best of our ability ... stripped the kiddos down and put them back til we could get home & properly cleaned up ....

Ah the memories!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL Sending HUGS HUGS HUGS to you!!!!!

If someone lives in her area I would keep an eye on it. I was looking back at older posts on her fb page and at one point she posted that she was going to be a specific T at a specific time and to meet her there with your tou-pons. Oh diva, how I would love to meet you there. laugh out loud

I looked at her blog a little. It looks like it just started in April 2010. I think she decided to start a site/business and didn't want to do the legitimate promoting/marketing/leg work that goes into something like that so she decided to record an in your face video to get some traffic to her site and to build herself a name. I wonder how that's working out for her? Cool

My children are up far too early. Must. Make. Coffee.

leave her alone already... people make mistakes and if that was the way she was taught at a workshop then so be it... I'm sure she is doing what is right to fix the situation. Goodness, at some point let it go! Don't stalk her blog and facebook. I am not tryign to be rude but at some point, lets just let this end and continue to discuss deals..which is what this forum is for.


from the T thread. Is this the same person who is defending her on FB?

for some reason I just can't let it rest...

and good morning to all!!!!

yea, it's the same person and she's more than likely defending her so vigorously because she is the girl shopping with her in the pink hat, you know...the one with the 10 bottles of Tide. Her face was in the video too, along with her purchase.

What her followers do not understand is that this is NOT just a mistake, it is a huge crime!! Sounds like there are a significant amount of people that she's 'taught' her ways to....grrrrrrrrrrreat.

not really that many. Unfortunately for some of our people here that live in MD , I think the majority of her followers are in her area and something tells me they may not be "extreme" couponing anytime soon LMAO "extreme" couponing my arse.

I have two fat envies ready for Target today, and one for RA (I'm all over the free sunglasses). I hear my stores now have the Visas so I'm excited to get out and hopefully see some.

I'm looking for some shorts for my niece (she's in the Nashville area). This is the niece that lost 50 lbs her first year in college and now NONE of her clothes fit.
Congrats for your niece! It's hard to lose weight in college! Have you tried calling the store directly with the dpci #? If you get a really helpful CS rep, they may even grab a pair and hold 'em for you at the front desk.

So I had a "be careful what you wish for" evening here.

I made some coffee... and turned on cartoons.

Ugh... dh wants me to find something for us to do today. I can't seem to find anything interesting going on in town.

I did a general search for "local weather" and picked the first website that was on the list. It asked for me to enter my cell phone # to access the weather. I left. I've had that happen a couple of times when doing searches. Is this some new scam? Do they spam your phone with texts or something? I don't trust something like that - don't see why you'd have to have my # just so I can look up some info. Pffttt.

As for the coupon diva chick - I am thinking she's probably pretty scared right now. I don't doubt there are many folks doing what she does around the country - but she put it out there publicly and got caught - and not just peeked at by a few locals, but caught by a very wide community of couponers. Unfortunately, she's going to get a lot of hassle because of all the problems we have had with couponing because of people that do this.

Mistakes are mistakes - you get a coupon pushed through for an item you didn't buy but neither you or the cashier caught it right away, you use a coupon for something and grab the wrong size, you trust a web offer like VRYL Mrktg, etc... Maybe even you learn to use coupons purposely on the wrong product and do that a few times before abandoning it because of conscious. But to blatantly use a stack of incorrect coupons on incorrect items is just beyond "mistake". I mean, it'd be one thing to say "Oh, I didn't realize the coupon was for CWS Advanced and not daily..." - but to use it on Tide/Bounty??? I was intrigued in the beginning of my couponing days to learn about some of the loopholes like CWS - but it doesn't take long to realize that if you are patient and take proper advantage of the sales + q's when they come around, then you don't have to use the q's improperly to get MM/Cheap/Awesome deals. And I would never have done such a massive transaction like that! Sheesh - even with the correct coupons we know how to fly under the radar!

The thing that also bothers me - maybe even more so - is the cashiers. I realize it was a long time ago, but when I was a cashier I had a fairly great memory for what folks bought and if the coupon matched it or not. And, while my goal was to get the customer out and on their way as quickly as I could, I also had the goal of keeping my til balanced and making sure I was doing the right thing in the transaction. To just push through coupon after coupon certainly makes me think that there's something weird going on there - and if they are willing to do that for a customer, what are they willing to do *to* a customer?

My biggest fear about this is that all the attention will cause it to spiral into a big big ordeal - not just in her hometown, but into all our hometowns. I have had stores that have been very lenient with the 1TQ per transaction, and I would really really HATE for that to change significantly across the board - or for registers to be reprogrammed, etc... The thought of a bigger crackdown on the way just kind of stinks.
