Do any of you guys know how to get a baby registry item changed from want to bought? I purchased a tub for a friend that is only available online. Shipping charges from Target were $10 more than Wal-Mart, so obviously I bought it from Wal-Mart. I called Target this morning and told the lady I purchased from them last night and forgot to have the registry scanned. She told me I had to come in w/the receipt to have it removed. Does anyone know a way around that?

I think the person that did the registry can edit their registry to show items that have been purchased. But then that would spoil the surprise of you buying it, wouldn't it? hug

CVS story.. I went last night and picked up my DS prescription refill and came home around midnight.. Started looking at the pills cause the bottle seemed bigger. The pills were not the same as he usually gets.. NO big deal I thought, maybe a different supplier company. I started looking at the label that says, your medicine is "pink round tablet with xx, xxx imprinted".. well, the pills weren't round and had different numbers on them. I googled the pill info and they had given me pills that were twice the strength.. I was thinking that if I weren't observant enough, my kid could have overdosed on his seizure medication. I called today and the guy wasn't even apologetic about it.. kept saying they didn't even have a record of the refill. Finally told me to come in and they would look at it. I told him "no, I want the correct RX filled now, and I would stop by later". No way was I waiting another half hour in CVS for them to fix and refill it... pretty sure he could tell I wasn't happy at all. Anyway, I went by tonight and they had put a 25.00 GC in the bag.. Weird thing though. The cashier made me sign a refund slip and there was 10.00 in the bag which I assumed was supposed to be my refund that should have applied to the new RX, but cashier rang it up and handed me the money and told me I was supposed to take it.. SO, I got the GC plus 10.00 in cash.. Scary that they don't have a double check system or something to prevent these things from happening.
EEK! Lawsuit. MAJOR lawsuit. He was trying to cover his ass.

ummmmm, remember, this is the same company that paid everyone approx $1.60/box to buy kellogg's fiberplus cereal. and there are more than a few people out there who bought some 50 plus boxes of it. just for the sake of buying it. not for eating it. and now they're wondering what to do w/ it.....

why would you think their registers are set up to distinguish between food and non-food like a real supermarket?

huh? huh?

hug

but we like target anywayBig Grin.
True! Big Grin

However, if Kmart can set up their registers to know only to double coupons in the Health and beauty department surely Target can program their registers to recognize coupons that attached to the food items that their system did recognize. I like to think Target is a bit ahead of the game over Kmart, however; now that I think about it Kmart registers did start having the select a box/item screen first and other coupon stuff.

Shockingly enough I didn't get in on the cereal, or C9 (which I still plan on trying on some sports bras that I need if anything is left), or even the Sobe when the GC was good. I could cry about the Sobe, that is what I get for being stuck up Walgreen's butt. Time for a Walgreen's break and concentrate more on Target again. I do one for a while get bored and do the other. At least I am getting Sobe for free which is better than nothing, but I am very sad about missing out on a $5 GC for every 10 I buy, since the cashiers are accepting 10 Target coupons for each purchase so far.

I only have 40 bottles, but would like to get more, since I actually like some of the 0 calorie flavors. I drink a little of the drink and put them in the freezer till they become a slouchy and I think they taste great. The regular flavors and some of the diet are yuck, and I had some expired from last years sale that finally got tossed, only two bottles that sat in the refrigerator for months after being downstairs on the drink shelf since last year. My DH just wouldn't drink them after I suckered him into taking about 5 of the other yucky ones to work. Kids were like ummm no!

This time around I am only buying flavors I like, so they will all get drank!

Thanks. I thought about that, but like you said, I don't want her to know I bought it. I'm just not going to worry about it. Hopefully, nobody else will buy it when they see the shipping is $15 for a piece of platic.

if they're going to start saying they can't accept the c9, they should pull the coupon from their website... ridiculous.

Like, I know they can do whatever they want, but that is crazy. Yes, make it so there can't be overage, that is fine and makes sense, but without stipulations, it is otherwise fair game. I was waiting for a sale on the shorts I like to combo it with and maybe one of those polos that are good for sweating (also waiting for a sale).

I used two C9 Qs today. First one auto'ed to 4.88, price of mens socks. Second one beeped INF on a pair of ladies' shorts marked down to 3.xx. She hit K1 and it took off the full $5. So if they fixed it to prevent overage on socks, why in heaven's name can't they fix it to prevent overage on genuine clothing items??? Target is just crazy right now.

And some certain Qs are still working, despite being reported as beeping. My middle-aged woman cashier was questioning if I got the right items in my order, and was going to deny my Qs until she realized she had already scanned a couple that went through without beeps. So she muttered, "Target is so retarded, but if that's how they want to do it, then here goes!" And she scanned the remaining Qs. Big Grin

And I am SO excited. Whee I finally found the long red/white maxi dress on clearance!! I had actually bought it back in May but had to return it because it didn't fit right (got the wrong size). I've been looking for it ever since. And today I lucked out!! Woohoo! Big Grin

Found out a new Walgreens opened up about 15 mins away and I have a ton of $3/$10 Qs to use. Gotta figure out some scenarios. I know this isn't the best week for them, but if nothing else, I can get some cheap school supplies.

Surgery last night didn't work Sadwalk His surgeon is sending him to the university medical center to see the neuro surgeons there. He said it has gone beyond his expertise. We're waiting for the MUSC to get a bed and and ambulance to transport him. The good thing for DS is the increased pressure makes him sleepy so he is sleeping through most of this.

I went to the doctor too this morning on my way to the hospital. Bad case of bronchitis and inflammation in the tissue somewhere. Anyway, I got a steriod shot and a bunch of meds. The shot started working and I am feeling better. Anxious about what the new docs will need to do...His doc talked to us a bit about the ventricularostomy. He said it is a relatively simple procedure as neurosurgery goes, but when it goes bad, it goes really bad. So that has me terrified. Keep positive, Teri.

Dia- I'm so glad you got a diagnosis sounds like it's a start but sometimes it takes much evalutaion before it is finalized. No one knows your child better than you do so a Dr that listens to your point of view is very important. I don't know much about autismor AS so I am not much help.

Quote from ank220 :
Seems I am getting more and more easily worn out and just want to sit around and do nothing until the baby comes! I can only imagine what you are feeling like with 2 weeks to go! I have 5 weeks, 2 day... (not that i"m counting or anything... lol)

Hmm... just realized that the 20th is a Friday. I went into labor with the last one on a Friday night. :lo l: Of course, I'm kind of hoping this one decides to come sooner...

Well... going to go sneak to the couch and snuggle there I think. Smilie
Your getting so close!!! Can't wait to see the lil one. Hang in there, it's so worth it but you already know that. hug Maybe on fri the 20th!!! Woohoo. Wink

Quote from thismom4deals :
We have a shelf-clearer here too. Not an SD'er to my knowledge but an avid couponer. She sees no problem with taking every last bit of whatever-it-is off of the shelf. Justifies the actions by donating a lot of stuff....LOL, I donate a lot of stuff too, but I would like to think that I do so in a manner that is more respectful of other shoppers and their needs as well:roll eyes:
The way some people justify...uugh!

Quote from .teri. :
DS is sick again and in surgery right now. I've been at the hospital most of the day just ran home to let the dog out and grab a bit of dinner before going back.

Another shunt failure and he is so sick again. This time, they have to replace the whole thing, and are going to try to place the tubing from his head into some tissue around his lung. I don't know. I just want him to get beyond all these shunt failures. He's not been 'right' since the last one. Unstable, incontinent at times. Please say a Pray that this time it will work and we'll have our ds back like before.
Teri- Oh no! I hope you are feeling better! What a lot to be going through. Life sure has a way of thowing all kinds of crap at us. I keep thinking if only we could settle into a nice 'boring' routine. It would be so much better than the upsets life has a way of tossing into our lives.

Ella - You are in my thoughts and prayers!!! Cancer is teh suck. Frown It might be worth it to read up a bit on a alkaline vs acidic diet. It is supposed to help a whole lot from a few people I have talked to.

Quote from Dec12Girl :
I hadn't had a chance to use the C9 either - no time to shop with everything going on - lameo!
Same here! I *might* get a chance to go out today but it's doubtful.

We were supposed to be traveling to Phoenix for my uncles funeral. I am still in shock he commited suicide. I keep thinking of my Aunt and just felt like I needed to be there to comfort her. I don't think I could continue to live in a house where my DH shot himself in the head in the bathroom. It was totally out of the blue she had no warnings. Although he had been on depression meds for just over a year.

We are not able to go because lilB got a fever, a fever of 104.7! He has had the fever for two days and doing the Tylenol and Motrin rotaion was only helping a little. By the time the 3 hours was almost up he was back up to 104! So scary! The Dr told me that a trip a long trip like that (12 to 16 hours of driving) was a really bad idea. We needed to keep him where we could put him in the bath often to cool him down in addition to the meds. Thankfully today the fever is down to low grade but he is so cranky and doesn't feel good. He has been to the point he just whimpers and cries all day and wants me to hold him. Rubbing his little head saying "head hurrrt" Frown

Quote from tootsie67 :

oh, and I have strep. No wonder I feel like dog crap :face palm: My kids had it last week so it was practically unavoidable :ann oyed:


and :sm ack: to the S&Gers. I never used a single. Farking. C9 Q. :ma d:
Poor thing, strep is such a pain. I hope you get to feeling better soon. I'd like to smack the S&Gers too! Mad Still have my C9 sitting here uncut.

Quote from ank220 :
Well, I think that if the newbieish folks in deals would just shut up sometimes, we could all get along and shop quite happily. But because they have to publicly brag and be total idiots about what stupid and illegitimate things they did, they ruin even the legitimate deals.

We may need to skip T until the you-know-what-hattery dies down - if it ever does. Seems like the dorks are crawling out of the woodwork now. : (

I also can't believe that the thread hasn't been shut down yet. It seems like it is spiraling out of hand and a little time off might be a good idea for some folks.
Iagree and me either. Needs to be shut down! I just posted to tell them all to SHUT UP about overages but I am sure it will fall on deaf ears and I will get flamed up the wazoo.

Quote from .teri. :
This. I can't figure out why people feel the need to boast of their stupidity.


DS is out of surgery and in his room. They just gave him some morphine and he is sleeping, but oh boy was he ever agitated before the meds. Usually, with brain surgery, no pain meds, but they opened him in 4 places so the doc said he would need it. I'm so glad because he is in alot of pain around his lung. They opened his head, neck, chest and abdomen. He looks like he has been to war. His head is wrapped, bandages everywhere. I don't feel good. I can hardly breath the pain is so bad. I thought I pulled a muscle but now I;m thinking it may be something with my chest/lungs. It hurts so bad to breath. I'm glad DS is sleeping because I just didn't have the energy to pull and tug on him. His dad took a shift so I could come home and take a break.

Ever just feel like crying, but you don't because you won't allow yourself to?

/pity party
hug sometimes you just need a good cry though to let it all out. Holding the stress and emotions in can make us more sick especially when you are already veunerable and stressed out.

I just used it today. Beeped INF, but cashier K1'ed it, because I obviously had the item. Until they start circulating a paper saying its no longer valid, I will continue to use it.
