Just got home from a blown shopping trip...My back tire blew out. Threads totally just popped in the seams. It is 102 degrees here today actual temp so I had the oldest hop out of the car and watch the traffic for me - I was in a turning lane and mostly out of the way but still. I then told him to count the number of cars that just drive by this little woman with 5 kids in flip flops changing her own tire. He got to 26 before he lost count and then after I was untwisting the last lugnut a gentleman pulls over and offers his help. He took of the tire and put the lug nuts on the spare and I hoisted the tore up tire into the trunk area. and off we went back home Sadwalk I new we should have just stayed home and watched DVDs all day

I've used the $4 TQ wyb PullIups and ANY game or toy, and it beeped on everything game and toy I have tried. K1 though. I didn't realize until after I used it that the $5 Kellogg's/Keebler TQ is only for Hasbro games. The cashier did K1 it. I haven't tried Hasbro games for that TQ. The Candyland one is $6.99 I think so that's a fair deal. I saw the $5 action shooter game MQ that someone had mentioned before, I seem to remember that the game is about $10. The peelies were TAPED to the boxes. laugh out loud
OH boo, So the $4 pullups is a beeper on both the right items too?

Have you guys sold those big packs of hersheys or M&M at a garage sale...Do people tend to buy such stuff at GS...
It was the weirdest thing, seeing how fast my food items sold out last YS. I had about 40 Kraft salsd dressings from a food lion MM and I figured noone would be interested in buying some strange chicks Bleu Cheese dressing that is sitting ona table in the sun for 5 hours so I priced them .75c and they FLEW off the shelf! Same with the mustard/honey mustard bottles from T. We are big fans of HM so I grabbed 20 bottles of the two pack Frenchs - opened one at home for dinner that night and HATED it! So to the YS pile they went and they went fast. Another food item that sold well was the Kelloggs Granola cereal.

My area has some sort of update and its BAD! I have tried 2 stores, 3 different times, different cashier registers. I KNOW I am doing all the right things, so its NOT human error. My whiskas, clorox and tuna Qs aren't working well. The 1st q of each goes smoothly then after that they beep and the item must be selected. It is NOT a wrong barcode or scanning issue. I have tried with Jedis and their patience was appricated but made no difference. I am on my Mobile right now, but can give more info when I get back home in a few.

Not good!!! What part of the country are you in?

I am so sorry for you!

It should, but Ariel was saying her store wasn't taking them either, well...no more than one bogo, and I think she said more than one of any mfg. She'll have to come on and elaborate, she was mobile earlier.

The last store I went to today (to try out to see if the Qs would act funny at it as well) was taking Q's ok, then it just stopped. I mean, it did the weird thing where the 1st whiskas and clorox Q scanned fine, no beeps, auto'd the way we like. Then the next one for clorox beeped for item not here and needed to be selected from the screen as to what item it was for (like an 01 does). The whiskas were going through just fine, auto'ing for $0.52 though Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) Anyways, I was getting kleenex hand towels as well. 4 boxes of them. I had 4 MQ's and 4 TQ's in my pile. 2 had gone thru ok, then the 3rd one beeped item not here. She tried to say I used too many and I showed her how I had 4 and that was only the 3rd Q. So she tried to K1 it, then enter it manually and it said "coupon exceeds purchase price" or something like that. So I said never mind, I will take it to CS and have them fix it. Next q was a B1G1 for the OS BW. She scanned it and it rang thru as $0.00 and didn't appear to deduct from my total. I asked her to clear it and try again, she did same result. I took that one back too. Then the next whiskas did the same thing. Scanned thru at $0.00. No beeps. There were MQ. Different kinds. So I just said, nevermind and finished with the TQ's I had left. They all went through just fine. My total was no where near low and was above the GC amount I bought. Above tax amount. It made no sense.

Anyways, I took the Kleenex Q's to CS and said that the cashier couldn't get them to work. He scanned the receipt and then the 2 Q's. The 1st one went through just fine, and the second beeped and total him "Customer may only use 1 Q per transaction" and I said, that makes no sense. He agreed and ran it through as a generic store Q and gave me my $ back. He had no clue why it did that and didnt know what to tell me. Dontknow

Well lemme tell ya, I got some gillette bodywash the other day and used the bogo coupon and it popped up the "list" screen. I couldn't figure out why as the only other P&G item in my order was Olay, with the 4.00 coupons. Same with my friend that checked out behind me.

Next day, nothing. Same coupon, no screen, but a different store. No Olay either.

Yesterday, same problem at a different store. Once again, the only item in my order was the Olay with the 4.00 coupon and I made damn sure it was last to be scanned. Didn't matter. It still popped up the list screen. Very aggrivating.

However, NONE of my b2 or b3 coupons have given me issues. Once renuzit did but that is because the ones I got were not coded the same. Guess they changed the packaging on some of the cones.

You using BOGO whiska's and B2 whiska's by chance?

I had an issue where I was using both and none of the coupons worked. Sorry if I offend, I don't know how long each person has used said coupons and their experience.

See the thing was I was ONLY buying OS BW (6 of them), Kleenex hand towels, clorox, whiskas and some non Q food items (fresh fruit). Nothing else was P&G.

Nope I don't use BOGO and B2 at the same time with the same items. I don't even have the BOGO of the whiskas.

I know you are not trying to offend and I am not taking offense. I am just letting you all know it happened to me. 3 different runs. This was NOT user error, it was some kind of update at my 2 stores at least.

Also, if it were user error, they 1st of each Q would not deduct the way we like them too. They would all beep and need to be selected. This is something new and it sucks!

hmmm.. odd. I know it's hard to use *just* those coupons but I wonder what would happen if you used, say, just clorox and then got a few other random items with coupons.

I hope it isn't some weird wacky register update.

IDK, I used the rest of my clorox today with expeirements to try and figure this out. I didn't post last night when it happened to me, bc I didn't want to seem like the sky was falling kinda thing. I have analyzed it with friends (poor them having to hear me go on and on! heart Love you guys!! Grouphug) and it appears to not be user error. I just wanted you all to be aware bc it could start to spread and we wouldn't want that.
