wow long posts in here last night. My thoughts, again, on calling corp. It would have to be something very very very major for me to do it. When I compare all the great runs I've had over the years to the bad ones, the good ones FAR outweigh the bad ones so it's to my advantage to let the bad ones go. Was it 2 years ago now that all the targets had photos of the fraudulent q's posted at each register? Trying to get them to take an IP was almost impossible then, but that blew over pretty quickly IIRC.

I have one store in my area that the manager really started cracking down on the one tq per transaction this past year. One day I was in line to check out and when I pulled out my q's, he came over and told the cashier he would take over. He spread all my coupons out and one by one started saying 'we can only accept one of this, and this. I just let it go and took the loss. Waited awhile to go back to that store and when I went back, no problems. The great thing about T is that they have a high employee turnover Smilie

The talk of Starbucks GC's makes me wish another good q would come out. It's been so hot here that I would love a good q to use on the bottled fraps so I could have some nice cold coffee.

Since no one has talked poop I'm adding in the mandatory poop talk. I'm up very early this morning as I have a sick yorkie who alerted me at 5 am that she had to go out. Unfortunately, she didn't make it . Nothing like waking up to that Sick
Sometimes it is just 1-2 employees too. I find that problems typically only occur for me if I a) have beepers in my transaction or b) the cashier feels the need to scrutinize every q before scanning. If I can avoid most beepers and get one of the cashiers that I know will just scan them I know I will not have problems. There is one cashier that I will just not go to in my store - she thinks it is her personal responsibility to find q's to reject.

vomit I woke up to DD having peed the bed, our bed that is. Doing laundry now.

Sorry things are hard right now! hug Eight days before my son was born, hubby had surgery for cancer. The day I was to be discharged from the hospital after the birth, hubby found out the cancer had spread to his abdomen and he would have to have radiation. Since his cancer was testicular, and the radiation would be targeting his scrotum to his neck, we weren't sure if we would be able to have any more kids, either. But God is good, and within 6 months, we were expecting again. nod Will pray the same for you!

Quote from setsail :
On calling corporate- I try to keep my complaints to a minimum, it really takes a lot for me to call. Or running into a very obviously wrong person. I had a GSTL once argue with me for 10 minutes that she worked there so she knew the policies better than I did. And she was wrong.

Weight- I'm a chubby person myself so that's why the analogy came to mind so quickly. I shush my kids from making insensitive remarks and it bothers me when adults think they can say whatever comes to mind.

Shopping addiction- I KNOW I have one. My older kids used to be dressed head to toe in Gymboree or Gap, I absolutely had to resell on eBay to roll the money into the new season's wardrobe. Being able to feed my shopping addiction with coupon usage is better for the wallet. laugh out loud As others wrote, I coupon to be able to stay home with the kids, to be able to afford some of the little luxuries that we couldn't have otherwise. It costs a little bit less here for housing than it does where flugette lives, even though we aren't that far from each other, but the county still made the Forbes list in 2009 of highest income counties in America. Because that's what it takes to live near DC- look at how many DC suburbs (and NY suburbs) are on this list:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High...ted_States

I don't think it is the place of anyone outside my immediate family (ie dh or the kids) to comment on what I should do with my stockpile, or the stuff I have stored in my basement. There are things I have moved for 15 years of military moves because I want to pass them down to my kids, for example. Or the bin of clothing I bought for our daughter that never came home with us. That's MY business. My rule of thumb is, if the living room or kitchen start to resemble something that might possibly be seen on an episode of Cops, it's time to clean. LMAO Other than that, eh, cleaning while kids are young is like shoveling snow during a blizzard.

ella, I'm sorry. hug
Ha! My household income is just about half of the average for our area! That doesn't include my couponing and garage sales, etc., of course. And our rent is almost $1500/month, so that tells you how tight it can get sometimes. laugh out loud

And I totally heart your philosophy on cleaning with kids in the house. Especially when the kids are 4, 3, and 1, it is virtually impossible to keep things tidied up. They are getting to the age, though, where they can start helping clean up, which makes me very happy indeed.

Good Morning People!

Oh my...Love the anniversary guy. Yummy. Got home late last night.

About that list about the income. I knew I was poor! My county is on at least two of them and I am in the midwest. Ozaukee County, WI. So there I have been right all along. I even wondered if that counts for all the people who live here in my building that are just weekenders. My building is about half and half; fulltime residents versus there summer/winter getaway.

Good News

I start back at K. On Monday the 28th, First shift and it is a temporary job with the possibly last until Christmas. I will get either my last rate of pay or the transfer pay. Whichever is higher. I receive 3 weeks of vacation as soon as I start. Health and all the other insurances. But...this area of the company usually has a shut down period, Either a week or two. But that is alright, I am getting paid. I got to chose between four different jobs. Three out of the four I have actually did, love that I got a choice.

Also thought about it. Target is so close to K, I remember doing runs almost all the time after work. My goodness I am so happy.

I decided to put in my resignation at the casino, Which will be ok. They are almost always hiring dealers. Was told to reapply two weeks prior to when I want to start back. Nice iinformation. Was reminded to practice dealing before I reaudition. Otherwise I have to go back to dealer school.

Wags is kicking my tush this week. Smilie

Then, stopped by a Publix to get sour cream to make my blackberry pound cake. Saw a big fat tearpad - Save $.50 off any Annie's Homegrown or Annie's Naturals products. Almost wetted my pants. This week at Kroger, Annie's Homegrown Mac n' Cheese is on sale for $1. The MQ doubled to $1 means freebies! Took 1/3 of the tearpad and skipped all the way to the register to pay for my sour cream. While I was checking out, I saw the expiration date - 5/30/2010. Mad WTH!!!

Today was my day to find kick-ass EXPIRED tearpads.
One of my Targets has some of the Annie's products on clearance. [Don't remember exact products or % off.]

It is a new day and hopefully a better one.

.teri. I agree with you that you have to pick your battles. I have had issues with coupons before at T,.50sobe here or a $1 there, no big deal I'm not going to get upset over a few dollars. My issue last night was the anger that the GSTL showed me. If it was just the q issue I would have came back in an hour and did the transaction again but for someone in customer service to come over to me already angry and not even listen to me was more than I could handle. I have never been treated like that before and never want it to happen again. Not to mention the fact that the gcq expired yesterday and my T has been OOS on sb sprayer for the last week!

As for flying under the radar, I don't bother. I almost always keep my order quantities to a max of
4/item and always use the proper q's so I don't see a reason to worry about it. If this GSTL has a problem with me calling corp on him that is his issue. Targeting me and my coupon use is harassment and I will call again if need be.

Anyhoo, does anyone else feel like today is just a bad day. Everyone is in such a weird mood that I think I should just go to sleep and start the day over tomorrow!

I found it. Embarrassment

Why did it have to shut itself off. Hopefully it is not the start of another weird day.

Thanks for all the good congrats...I am so happy. It would mean doubling my pay. Now to focus on getting all the bills caught up.

But you all know we can coupon shop. If I look at it another way. There are many people out there that would of lost their homes because of the drastic paycut I got.

Unemployment here pays 363/wk. My house payment is 1150/month plus 200 for condo dues.
If I didn't do what I did, Working two jobs. I would of lost everything too. But between everyone here that shops for all our own reasons. We can get the nicety things we couldn't afford without coupons. I was able to get by and that is so important. Didn't even have to empty out my 401's either. So pooie, on those people who cannot understand shopping for free and going to the FM.

Just to let you know you guys were informed before most of my family. Only guy friend, one of my aunts know and the person that told me that K is calling back peeps. Probably let the family know later. Sometime between the 28th. Smilie
