I'm not one to "call" but I honestly think that we might want to start filling out receipt surveys and calling corp to complain as we encounter stores where the register won't take perfectly legit coupons or where it is limiting you to a number of coupons. If nobody complains, they will think their update is a success, but if they start hearing from people, they will (hopefully) make corrections to align it with their Q policy. And I'm not meaning to call and say, "I went into target and tried to use 500 coupons and the register wouldn't take them" but more along the lines of "I bought 10 items and tried to use five $1 off coupons and the register would only take 2".

I haven't had a chance to shop in the last 2 days (and probably won't for the next 3-4 days), but I plan to tell them that kmart and walmart are happy to take my coupons (shhhh, don't laugh at that one Coverlaugh) and I plan to shop at those stores if I'm going to have problems with the register taking simple coupons on each.and.every.visit.
I agree. When I complained about the exchange hassle I had at a recent store, I commented to the corp rep that I was concerned about the new update that was autoadjusting the $5/2 and $4/2 to the value of one item. Hasn't hit the stores near me as of earlier this week but when we were in MD last weekend, the store we stopped at did have that update.

I can understand the company wanting to protect themselves from evil couponers but they are walking a fine line with defrauding the manufacturers as well. jmo

I went shopping this morning just to test the waters and all my JMS Qs worked as expected (Whiskas [all the same flavor] and Kraft Easy Mac). I didn't have any off Qs that I had three of that they had three of (what's happened to the David's Sunflower Seeds? they've disappeared).

When you factor the TQ hangtag from the Febreze Sport into the BOGO Q, it's not a bad deal.

Humorous thing happened today though.... I got a cart and started shopping and kept making right hand turns (around the aisles). Went to make a left hand turn, and my cart almost turned over with everything in it. Seems that my cart lost a front left wheel sometime overnight, but I didn't notice it until I tried to turn left.

I think there are a lot of us... Can you imagine if we all called? Shocking

Personally, I plan to let them know that I use at least $20 in coupons at target every week and spend a whole lot more than that (again, shhhhh don't laugh at that Coverlaugh). And that they will be loosing my business for sure if it is this difficult to shop wisely in their stores! (I don't want to come off like a crazy coupon lady, just a regular American trying to stretch her family dollar).

Does anyone have prices on the Starkist Tuna Pouches??

I'm thinking I may do a very small run with like 2 bogo's and maybe 3 b2g1's. I don't have any b3g1's, otherwise I'd try that too.

For those of you that know your store got the update, I wonder what it would do if all of your items were the same. For instance all you whiskas the same flavor instead of all different. I remember someone saying kmart is like that.

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. Or could one of the items/flavors be priced slightly more/less than the others? Belt order issue? I think that's what happened with my bogo gillette's - 1st one auto'd, 2nd one prompted to pick item, 3rd one auto'd. Most of my q's were scanned on the flat scanner also - not sure if that's making an issue or not.

I'm thinking maybe we'll all need to do some tiny runs and experiment.

I do remember a couple weeks ago having some problems with the WW b2g1's, but I thought it was because of various prices and not having them scanned high to low first. *sigh* Lots of what ifs and unknowns I guess.

Is there anyone that has 10 of the $5/1 Schick Hydro MQ (not the expired one) that would want to trade for Pampers Wipes coupons?? Or anything else that you might need that I have? I got 10 of the $4 TQ on eBay for super cheap (just happened to refresh the page and there they were $1.99 for 10) and I have no MQ to go with them. Gonna bite the bullet and buy some tonight probably if not....just know a lot of ppl are looking for the wipes q's.

IIRC, they are sale or TPC right now for about $1.3x - I'm not positive, but that should be pretty close to how much each pouch is. They've done away with the 4 pack of pouches that was $8-9 but there were still some multipacks of cans (in case you like to buy canned tuna to go with your pouches) Smilie
