that WAGS trip makes my head hurt just reading. Hate when I get stuck with a manager like that.

I am so sleepy today. I woke up at 2:30 this morning wide awake and couldn't get back to sleep Annoyed We had terrible storms go through portions of the state last night which wrecked the computer system at work, so I've spent all morning putting out fires. Finally everything is running again and all the patients are being seen, but I'm ready for a nap now.

I think I may pay papa a visit on the way home from work today.

I would need a valium too!


At least your Wags ended with you making money, managers like that just suck. I hate managers like that! I have one really bad Wags here with a manager like that and one Rite Aid too. The manager at RA is such a hag if they have a BOGO free promo where no RA coupon is needed she will not let you use BOGO MQ with it. She won't budge in her belief it is just WRONG for a customer to get something free and there is no way no how RA or the manufac would allow that.

I just played this Sobe game and won a BOGO free coupon!!!
I didn't use a cap code, you get one free play a day.

*laugh* Well... if I lived closer I'd come over and do it for you. I've been wanting to do it for YEARS. I have so many plans when we get our house. I'm thinking of painting a Tuscan countryside in the dining room, fairie wonderland in the little kids rooms, a funky mod pattern in oldest DD room, yada yada...

I've had this picture in my head since I was a teen (at least) of a woman standing on a hill with tall grass - she's got a big bonnet that she's holding in her hand at her side. The wind is blowing and you can see her blonde hair kind of swept to the side in the breeze - and she's reaching up and kind of pushing it back from her face while her eyelet lace sundress gently blows in the wind about her legs... there's some wild-flowers dotting the hill, maybe an old white farmhouse in the distance behind/beside her and she's looking out and you can see that the hill goes down into a beach and ocean side. I'm thinking maybe she's watching a ship come in, or maybe just standing there taking in a beautiful scene - clear or slightly wispy-clouded sky. I may do that in a living room or bathroom... dunno. I guess I'll have to wait and see the walls.

I hate when I do that - well, not the napping part. The leaving the coupon binder in the car part!

This is definitely my one really bad store - I try to avoid going in there if I have to and am inevitably always reminded why each time that I dolaugh out loud What is wrong with ppl who are anti-savings???? I can't believe people can just throw their money away. Even before I started couponing like this I was careful with my money and watched for sales and clearances.

Ank, you are an artist? If I tried to paint what you just described it would be a stick lady with stick hair LMAO

Why not paint your picture on a large canvas and hang it in the bathroom?

Aw, happy anniversary! Looks like lots of us got married this week!!

Quote from .teri. :
I like Redjen's idea. If you don't want to paint different colors, choose a color that will match everything. I would go with green. You can probably find a stick on rainbow online if not at Target.
I found some great ones on ebay when I was looking for my son's room. Not rainbows, but I'm sure you can find some great ones for a good deal.

Quote from Nikayla :
The wikki looks great, I love the new format & matchups. Thanks for the link, printed two.

The toothpaste is about $2.30 and there are $1 MQ and the TQ is .50 so it makes it very cheap compared to Sensodyne with no coupons. Good luck with the electrician and the kids, sounds like a trip to Target is in order. Wink Oh and I'll take ya up on the coffee.

Happy anniversary!!

I totally need to get into SF more. We have so many digital pics just sitting in memory. I never really got into scrapbooking so I don't have much stuff, it just seemed way to overwhelming with all the millions of supplies it needed. Happy anniversary to you!!

Happy annivesary to M2C too!
So much love on this day. heart

Kopenny, hope and pray you get the job!
Thanks for the info on the Aquafresh! Will definitely have to look into that.

Nice! I got the coupon too!!

I ended up taking the kids for a ST run. It was pouring rain outside, and I knew the electrician would take awhile,'cause he was replacing 6 fixtures. All paid for by our lovely property management company. Amazing the difference in our house now. So much brighter. Big Grin

My run went great. STC, as they say!! Wink Have to go back tonight - I bought the kids umbrellas, and the Princess one was broken. Durn thing.

What is the official policy for a return item that a MQ was used on? I couldn't find enough of the 4T/5T Pull Up during the gift card promotion so to round it out I bought some 3T/4T. Youngest could still wear those. Today, they suddenly look like bikinis so I thought I would exchange the 4 unopened packs in that size. I knew they would reduce the value by the gift card promotion but the person at customer service (at my not- usual store) spent several minutes fiddling with the receipt. Next thing I know, he said to swipe my card, I was getting $20ish for the 4 packs.

Nonono, first I asked to exchange them, and second, I asked him if he would give me back my coupons since he deducted the value. He told me to go back to the store I purchased them at and they would give me back the coupons. Oh yeah, even those this was purchased over 2 weeks ago? What an idiot. I tried to call customer service from the store and the outsource call rep kept putting me on hold, then asking me to repeat what happened. 20 minutes of this and I was done.

Was I wrong in expecting that they should have done an exchange for the PullUps rather than return and rebuy? I'm not even going to address the MQ question at this point. AND, I had some coupons for wipes that attached to the PullUps so the idiot deducted more in coupons that what I had actually given (ie, $2 off PullUps vs. $4/2 wipes refill packs that I had). Yes, he took $4 off each pack of PullUps, even when I tried to explain that he could look at the top of the receipt and see the $6 packs of wipes that had no MQ. Frown

I have *always* gotten the pre-coupon price refunded. That's why I try to rarely return coupon items, just 'cause I don't want to be considered a scammer. But the right thing for them to do is refund you the pre-coupon price. They have already submitted those Qs for reimbursement, so they're not losing any money.

LMAO That's what I should have done. Instead I had him put it on a gift card and I left the store while still on the phone with customer service.

I was fairly certain what the policy is supposed to be but like with a lot of things, some dictators in stores think they can make their own policy. Like lining up your items and matching the coupons with them before even ringing anything up. Doesn't bother me if I only have a few coupons and items, or if they have adequate reading comprehension skills.

I asked why he didn't just exchange the PullUps and was given a snotty look. Him and the snippy GSTL that was helping him.
eta in case anyone is wondering. I went to this particular store because it was the only one within 20 miles that had 4 packs of size 4T/5T. And, they still have them.

Went to T. Used some tou-pons. Left happy.

Does anyone know where I can purchase a bunch of the Healthy Choice MQs for next week's sale. I have a bunch of the TQs, but I can't find any MQs, even on the bay.
