I am waiting for the coupons to come back up on T.com. I almost wonder if they are trying to figure out a way to individually code them.

It would really suck if my joke came true! EEK!

RE: New SD system regarding PM & Posts--- Why do I need to be alerted that someone has quoted me?

In other news, I posted this in deals thread, but I know some of you are avoiding it. I was planning on ordering the new Axe B1G1 MQs to use on the gift/bonus packs that T has on clearance but not gonna do it now because I got the Early Sunday edition of the Houston Chronicle and it has the Axe B1G1, but it is very restrictive.

Good on: Axe 8.45 oz, 12 oz and 18 oz Shower Gel or Detailer (up to $5.99).

Excludes: Trial; Travel; Special Packs; Bonus Packs; Holiday Packs; Club Packs; Other Promotional Items. Cannot be combined with other promotions.

[All the exclusions remind me of the prescription drug commercial warnings---Med X may cause insomnia; drowsiness; low blood pressure; high blood pressure; and, oh, maybe death. Big Grin]
Not only that, it's a 992 which usually don't cause issues at most Targets I've been to. I tried it today and it came up INF, and the K1, it does nothing. Embarrassment And of course, if the cashier manually enters the MQ for more than $5, it requires a supervisor.

Found mens Merona shirts, originally $9.99, for $2.48. EEK! TQ didn't auto, it beeped. I bought several transactions worth of shirts, came home to print more TQ and had dh go back to get more. Hello Christmas presents for dads, brothers, nephews.... I can post the DPCI if anyone wants them. Only one store within 40 miles of me has these marked down at all so to be 75% off when other stores are full price, don't get it.

I'm worried, too. If they make it difficult to get more than 2 of a kind, I won't be shopping Target very much. Frown

Do I need to start reading the Wags threads again??
Oldest niece has a pen fetish. She loved getting G2 pens in her stocking last year, and I noticed that today's the last day to pick up the Uni-ball 207 Check Fraud pen. On sale for $2.49 for two pack, just 99 after IVC. I've never used this, but cheap pens for her stocking I can do.

Tomorrow has free breathe right strips (new kind... I think they will be OOS by end of tomorrow, as every store I've seen doesn't have a lot).

Our real estate agent is on my last nerve. I'm glad I'm not the only one! I told DH that maybe the market sucks right now because all the realtors are a bunch of idiots! laugh out loud
Well we're on agent #2 so far LMAO And it isn't as if we're at the hard part yet (we're buying before we list our current house). I just don't think it's too much to ask for them to be able to get you in to see a house within 24 hours of your request (meaning being able to free up their schedule) and being able to clear time to meet with you to write an offer within 24 hours. My agent is either working *really* hard, or really *hardly* working.

Quote from kallison423 :
Our real estate agent is a dimwit. The pictures he has up of the house are atrocious- like no pictures of our living room, but 2 of the hall bath? Seriously? And not a single picture of a bedroom- call me crazy, but those are pretty important.
Quote from kallison423 :
I took some pictures and sent them to him, but he's never changed them out. His looked like cell phone pictures too- from, like, the first camera phone ever made. They're pretty bad.

We've been on the market for 2 months and no one has even come through our house...it's ridiculous.
Now that would drive me nuts - the pics and online tour are what get people into your house! Out here, if you want to sell your house for top dollar, it needs to be staged and professionally photographed.

Thanks for the info! I hope not! I kind of got out of wags for a bit, but maybe its time to restart. Smilie

We did staging and my SIL is a professional photographer...but that doesn't do any good if the agent won't change the freaking pictures from his crapola ones.

Doesn't help that they keep saying "hey, it's okay if you do a foreclosure! Or a short sale!" Uhm, no thanks. Jerk.

Jawdrop Holy cow - that would have me p.i.s.s.e.d.o.f.f. - sounds like you need a new agent too OMG

I'd fire 'em and go elsewhere. In this market, you can't afford to put up with idiots that don't do their jobs!

Maybe they are just making A LOT of new coupons to replace the ones that expire today (wishful thinking here). Otherwise, I won't be shopping at Target a lot either! Good thing I have a stockpile of almost everything we could or should need. Wink

For supper tonight, we were having home-made burgers and fries, and I figured I'd make some "marshmallow" salad (as my kids call it) to go with it. It's just mixed fruit, oranges, bananas, marshmallows, and some fat-free cool whip. I was getting frustrated because I couldn't find any cans of mixed fruit (if there is some, it's buried far behind all the CBA). I look over and I have tons of little Del Monte fruit cups bulb So, I use the little cups and make individual bowls, which worked out well. Since DD doesn't like the oranges and DS doesn't like the bananas. I heart having everything I need on hand. (I just started the "extreme" couponing in the last month or so.

I would get a new one! My DH was a car salesman years ago, before I met him, and he hates real estate agents EEK!

LTL7, I posted about this in the deals thread but thought I would ask here. Dh went to T for a few more clearance shirts and the $3 TQ came up invalid. What exactly does invalid mean? Is that set by programmers at corporate or is it something each store has control over? It wouldn't even work for shirts that were $7.48.

That is really weird. I don't have an answer - sorry. Frown

ETA:

Maybe it's supposed to be coming up "expired" or something - like an early update? Was it close to closing time? Or, if they are working on the programming - maybe it's just messed up.
