Papa was in the house for dinner tonight. HOWEVER, when I went to order the 2nd pizza, right after the first one, I got an error message saying the code had either been used already (it hadn't) or there were too many items in my "cart."

I logged out, logged back in; same result. Tried another code; same result. I finally had to create a new account under a different name & e-mail address and was then able to order another pizza.

In the past, I've ordered two pizzas without a problem, using two different codes, and ordering separately of course. I guess Papa no longer likes me getting two free pizzas at one time!

Wow - ya'll are chatty...

I learned today that you should not send an SDer to T when they've got 75% off of the dollar spot... picked up finger paints, pencils, cards, stickers, bowls, cups, bags, straws, and other miscellaneous bits for .25 each!! I found some neat toys too - ST didn't have the 50% markdowns, so I need to go check out the dinky T and see what they have. I got some LPS, Toystory color wonder crayola stuff, a swing, and a few miscellaneous little things that i didn't want to wait on too long. I was really excited about the swing - it hangs from the tree and DD is going to flip when she sees it (we're saving it for her Bday)!

You should also not send aforementioned SDer to T when she is pregnant and hungry because she comes home with steak, doritos, and cherries (which were not on the list). I forgot my gold n plump chicken coupons, but since we were cooking out for friends, I bought it anyways.

Quote from .teri. :
I'm the same way with my coffeemate, [snip]
great run at T today. got so much stuff my cart was overflowing. Found a girls toddler bedding set marked down from 59.99 to 7.xx, a girls full size bedding set marked down from 69.99 to 17.xx, Circo rug marked down to 17.xx (can't remember the original price but was 60 or 70.00 I think), Circo girls bookcase from 79.00 (I think) to 17.xx. Not much else, some nice shower curtains but still marked at about 17.00. Virtually no patio items left except a few flower pots, saw none of the 75% thermos grills either.
Wow - great prices on the bedding and such! I need the book case soooo bad here - and a dresser. It's going on my list!!

Our patio section is one row of a couple of grills and chairs - and they are at 15% off still. EEK!

Quote from ltb7 :
have a bumbleride double stroller and it has been attacked by mold spots - i can't use bleach b/c it is blue/green and will discolor, i read that white vinegar could help but i was thinking of putting it in the washer as i can remove the fabric from the chassis - any thoughts of how to proceed?
[snip]
ank - how are you feeling? when is your due date??
Hope I"m not too late in answering this, but you could try to saturate the mold/mildew spots with peroxide and leave in the sun for an hour. A lot of times that will kill it and the peroxide *should* take out the stain without bleaching. Just don't leave it in the sun too long, or the sun itself will bleach your stuff!

I am due on 8/20... I feel like I could go any day though. laugh out loud

Quote from thismom4deals :
Sale went well! $570 in 5 hours, I will take it! Learned some things for next time, things pretty much went smoothly!

Sorry to hear about the coconut milk ank All of my allergies changed during pregnancy, some better some worse. Seasonal allergies completely went away but food allergies intensified. And then after the pregnancy seasonal allergies went back to normal and food allergies were still intense, as we found out soon after dd was born....not fair!
[snip]
Me too, won't drink coffee w/o it except I like the liquid not the powder
Oh, I hope my allergies go back. Last pregnancy I developed the strawberry allergy too - and that went back to normal afterward. I love love love strawberries, so I realllllyyyyy hope it isn't permanent!!

I like the liquid coffee mate too, but I (normally) am so addicted to coffee that I'll drink it black.

Quote from Dazzledby5 :
Can you give me the break down, I havent been in the Kroger thread in a bazillion years, but will check out hte ad
Oh... man... I'll have to catch you (and myself) up on that if you haven't looked yet. There's some decent deals, but nothing uber stellar that stands out. Motrin is good if you have the 3.00 mq's.

Quote from Dazzledby5 :
@the markdowns, = In the beginning of my doing YSs I would let peeps haggle me and haggle me and now I'm firm! They will say "you take one dollar.", not ask me but tell me in incorrect english no less and when I say 'No' ,they look at me like I have 3 heads. There is a trick to knowing what your area will pay for certain things ie: peeps here wont pay more than $1.00 for toothpaste but will pay $1.50 for the SB in the can and that is like $2 reg store price!?! and my bandaids are priced $1.50 and almost every other person grabs one.
laugh out loud at the peeling price sticker... I know what my oop generally is on stuff, and I know what I want for it... so even if they tried that with me - pfft... wave

The haggling is one of the worst - especially the ones that do like you said and TELL you what they are going to pay you. And it is amusing what folks will pay for stuff at retail or close to it.

Quote from thismom4deals :
if it's necessary to do any mid-sale markdowns it would probably be a good idea to have those semi-planned/written out beforehand (though that might be hard to predict, but it would save time)
If you are planning other sales and the stuff won't expire - don't worry too much about markdowns. I decided that I'd just price things as low as I'm willing to go because I know that I can sell them later if they don't move. But, if you *have* to sell, then it may be a good thing. You could also decide if there are things you'd be willing to throw in as freebies for folks that purchase $X worth of stuff. That may work depending on your area.

Quote from Dazzledby5 :
ANK. I perused the Kroger ad and IDK if I will even bother with it,
Yeah... kind of my thought. There's a few things I may get, but no major all outs. I am hoping there's some cat deals or unadvertised MM's. But, I'm not overly hopeful. These sales have been less and less lately. Where's the desitin q from and how is the cheese free?? I gotta check the q's!

Quote from greenbelt :
young girl in the parking lot approached me & DH asking for gas money
I have never been approached for money more than I have been here in TN. Both in parking lots and inside stores. They've always got no gas or no food and have to pick their daughter/friend/sister/someone up from the hospital, blah blah blah. I respect the outright hobo who has his roll and crud and just wants some cash - but the stories these folks come up with drive me nuts. And I've even seen people putting their kids up to it. Heck, we've got a van, and some dumb*^% sent their young (maybe 8-10ish) daughter over to the the van to ask me for cash. Um... I could've totally shoved her in the van and left.

My DH will give anyone almost any cash if he has it. I'm more of the "here, let me go get you a gallon or two of gas or some McD's, or some food from the grocery store that we happen to be outside of..." Funny how they don't want to take you up on that...

Quote from meeshecat :
OMG!! Updates gone bad... Target is the new Wally Mart Frown There is a COUPON LIMIT on the computer...
Oy... going to have to look closely at my receipt from today - haven't had a chance yet.

Quote from dreemedayze :
What would you do?
Change my number. laugh out loud

I guess I would tell her sorry, but you don't have/have not seen those diapers. You've got no way of knowing for sure that she really left them behind. And like someone else pointed out - how do you leave behind that many diapers and neither you guys or she realize it?? I mean, if someone leaves behind a shampoo, *I* notice it and will hunt them down at that sale or will keep it for next time. (but maybe I have a good memory for that stuff) However, this situation sounds like a scammer to me. Hopefully she's not, but there's some responsibility on her end to make sure she's got her purchases - or discovers that they are missing much sooner than she did. Worst she'll do is pitch a fit and *maybe* report you to the police. I assume you've been keeping receipts... Just keep them handy.

Quote from thismom4deals :
-There were other things that I was unsure of pricing on to begin with,
That is one of the biggest things to deal with in your first few sales. It'll take a little experimentation and you'll eventually get a decent feel for how things will sell. But, also know that some things are dependent upon what time of the month it is (i.e. have people recently been paid, have the recently bought a similar item, etc...) and upon them realizing that you are selling NEW and UNEXPIRED things. Also, sometimes it depends on if they've gone to other sales first and maybe spent some of their cash. Just kind of get a good idea in your head what you are willing to sell and at what price. You'll get it. Smilie

*laugh* I feel like you Dec...

receipts? What are those? lol

I guess that's true. I should call walmart and tell them I forgot to grab 5 bags of diapers and I'm on my way to pick them up. Think it'd fly?

About the people begging for money. We seem to have people on every exit ramp with the signs "will work for food, need to get to Florida, etc".. And occasionally those who come up to you when you are out.. Just last week I was a Kroger and walking to my car with my cart full of groceries. A lady comes up to me and starts telling me she needs to get to Macon Georgia ( a good 1.5 hours from here) and needs money. When I tell her I don't have any cash, she starts to act like she is going to cry. It was like 96 outside that day and she looked hot, so I offered her first some bread to eat cause I had a loaf right on top, but she refused. Then I offered her something to drink and she said yeah, so I pulled out a gallon jug of water and told her she could take it. She looked at it and said "thats okay"and walked off. I was trying to figure out why someone who says they are homeless and walking around in almost 100 degree weather would turn down some water? It kept bothering me as I was loading my van and I pulled out a capri sun juice and some fruit and was gonna go back by and offer it to her, but she was gone.. totally vanished? very weird.

Wanted to hit T for more cereallaugh out loud and get my CVS runs in today, but we ended up staying at the birthday party we went to for almost 8 hoursEEK! It was fun, they were good friends of ours.

*sob*

I meant to order some q's earlier - at an overly awesome price - and now they are gone. *poof* I never finished my order, apparently. Sadwalk I'm so mad at myself.

But, who knows... maybe I saved myself from having unused coupons. I dunno... *right now* it's not much of a consolation...

I haven't ordered any Q's in over a month... wasn't sure if they would be worth it anymore... guess I should start reading more...

Sorry you missed out on them, I'd check back tomorrow, maybe another seller will have an awesome price for you.. hug

Quote from laina :
My favorite Jedi (now friend) told me she loved me today.... Embarrassment She is the nicest girl ever and has a disability that people make fun of her for - target guests have made her cry about it... So had to tell her I loved her too... Took her out for lunch and she wants to go to the lake one day together... Will have to do that next week maybe....
People can be so cruel....

She just found out that there is a hospital in Wa. that deals with her specific disability and they had a meeting with her (that cost her $3000) and now her treatments will hopefully begin next month if they can work out a payment schedule ($2500 per treatment - every 3 months)..

She works at T for goodness sake, not great medical... So I'm going to get all her info and try and be an advocate for her to get some help with her medical bills... otherwise she may not get them. I figure there has to be something or some charitable organization that could help her.
That is AMAZING!!!! You are a WONDERFUL lady - you are the kind of person who restores faith in humanity! I hope that she can get the help that she needs ... and YES people can be SOOOO cruel! Sadwalk

Quote from meeshecat :
OMG!! Updates gone bad... Target is the new Wally Mart Frown There is a COUPON LIMIT on the computer... I was using coupons and they were ringing fine... then all of a sudden all coupons were going for 0.00... manager comes over to K1 and it comes up COUPON LIMIT MAXIMUM... WTF!?!
Oh good grief!!!!!! I remember that stupid rule - you could have 40 coupons total and they could not have a total value of more than $100 no matter what --- and that is a couple of years ago so it maybe stricter now!!!!!! I tried to use a few of the pampers coupons there a couple of weeks ago and was told they no longer accept coupons Confused So let us hope that Target does not want to be Walmart - or we have all had it!

So what were you using and how many had you used before? PM if necessary.

I also think there is a prob with coupons when you have EXACTLY the item specified/size/number if the cashier enters them in a group ... ie you purchase 6 of an item and they enter 6 widgets (the receipt reads widgets $x.xx and underneath 6 @ $x.xx) then you try to use your 6 coupons or whatever and it says there is only 1 of them there because they are entered together like that. I think we will have to say - please scan each of these items sep of the coupons won't work ... has anyone else found that?

Can someone tell me why the $1/1 Glad trashbag TQ beeps when you are buying 1 pack of Glad trashbags that matches the pic????? It says INF ... Confused

Quote from tn_native :
I'm branching out...
3 Krogers, 2 Publix, Kmart twice, 5 Walgreens and 1 Walmart. I'm tuckered out (didn't start until 5 pm).

Snack fund is now stocked with Ritz cheese grab bags (just for tax), as I bought Qs off ebay that we didn't get $1/2 any Nabisco crackers and Walgreens sale starts tomorrow, but prices turn on tonight. Evil

Hold the presses... 5 LIKE coupons or 5 TOTAL coupons???
Wow - I think I need to move to where you live - you have a much better selection than do we up here!!! We do have a Walmart but they "don't take coupons" I asked for the name of the store manager and apparently they don't have one of those! They haven't had one for months. No Kmart, Krogers, or Publix - and I think I mised the Ritz deal??? Or was that the Rice Krispie treat one I couldn't do because I couldn't find any coupons for them -

Yes I agree - please elaborate?

Quote from dreemedayze :
Today she calls me and tells me that she went to change her daughter's diaper and realized that she never got the 5 bags of diapers from me. One size 3, two size 4, and two size 5. She wants to come and pick them up.

What would you do?
Ummmmmm - why would it take her 2 weeks to notice she was missing 5 bags of diapers???? You aren't talking lollipops here! I would tell her that she must be mistaken - and if you value her business maybe offer her 1 bag as a "I am sorry you have misplaced your 5 bags - I hope that you can locate them - but you are willing to donate one bag of size 3 to her because she is a valued customer." (Only if you actually have said diapers) If not I would probably say that you are sorry you have checked your inventory and that she did pick them up. I am sorry you are going thru this!!!

Quote from Sharon526 :
So I bought Motts Medlys juice today, along with a bunch of other crap, and the $1 Mott's Medley MQ beeped, I got it out of theb ag to show the cashier that I got the correct one and she k1ed it but it came up as $0.00 and then on my printed receipt it showed up as $166.27, but no minus sign EEK! I don't know what is going on with my stores! Anyone else having this happen?? Please PM me if you have any insight. Thanks!
WOW - that is nuts!! Did it charge you for the $166 or did it just print that without charging it??? That is just too weird! I have not seen that! I have had coupons beep INF when the item is clearly right there and of course the adjusting down to the price - think Benadryl - but I haven't had what you are describing. Well that is not entirely true - a long time ago a cashier scanned the right barcode and it rang up $2,000 something and actually added $2,XXX to my receipt ... the cashier & I EEK! so she voided the coupon and it voided that amount. But that was a while back - and it changed my total --- so no I have not had the same experience.

Hey all! Wave I had my GS today as well. We did ok, $782, not our best but not our worst either. I worked tonight so we weren't open as long as normal and it was a slow day overall for us. I am still happy with the results. Vegas will be more fun now Wink

About the MFQ ringing up $0 and then when K1'd getting a "coupon limit" message, I reported that when I first told everyone about the new update. I have no clue how they decide and at what point, but I think it may differ per store, even in the same region. I did the same run at 2 store. Same exact Qs and items. Second store had the message, first did not. Maybe each manager can set a limit they now feel comfortable with, idk? Confused

Anyways, I am headed into work, hope y'all have a great night!

I think I figured out the weird register issues...

Yup....

T registers have gremlins inside.


Some of the problems - when they happen with MQ's - are often due to the wrong bar code being scanned.

Tq issues - who knows. Bad coding, register wonkiness, gremlins... Dunno!!

Wow - great prices on the bedding and such! I need the book case soooo bad here - and a dresser. It's going on my list!!

That is one of the biggest things to deal with in your first few sales. It'll take a little experimentation and you'll eventually get a decent feel for how things will sell. But, also know that some things are dependent upon what time of the month it is (i.e. have people recently been paid, have the recently bought a similar item, etc...) and upon them realizing that you are selling NEW and UNEXPIRED things. Also, sometimes it depends on if they've gone to other sales first and maybe spent some of their cash. Just kind of get a good idea in your head what you are willing to sell and at what price. You'll get it. Smilie

You mentioning the furniture made me think of how DH and I have been building all of our furniture lately.....from plans from this blog: www.knock-offwood.com. It is SO easy and all of her stuff is knocked off of the big, expensive brands like Pottery Barn, etc. I loooooved the look of those media walls and when we got our big TV on clearance at T. we needed something to put it on. Made the whole media wall for around $130 I'd say, which isn't pennies BUT that is compared to the thousands of dollars the same thing would cost at PB plus we were able to customize it exactly to our home! The lady that does that blog is amazing! We've learned so much from building her own stuff that we've started to plan our own stuff our and build it. Considering I nearly failed shop class in high school because I hated it so much........laugh out loud

Definitely learned that about the pricing. It varied quite a bit even from what was listed here on SD. There were some things I couldn't move....dawn dish soap for example. Wouldn't move at $1, only 1-2 moved @ $.75. Wasn't going to mark it any less than that because we don't have a dishwasher so we'll use it eventually. Was just surprised I guessDontknow

receipts? What are those? lol

I guess that's true. I should call walmart and tell them I forgot to grab 5 bags of diapers and I'm on my way to pick them up. Think it'd fly?
LMAO

Ank~ For me, it was for sure not the wrong barcode being scanned. I made her clear it and rescan the left barcode (while I covered the right with my hand) and it still did that. That was with many different MQ's too. I tried a OS 14 bodywash, whiskas, kleenex hand tissues, ect. None were expired. I am sure this was a register/computer programming issue.

Thanks Thismom! I am pretty happy with results of our sale!

Wow - sounds like your store is just really messed up!! That would drive me nuts - sounds like you have to watch like a hawk while checking out. Yuck!
