Speaking of deals, is this the new deals thread? Big Grin

Since the deal thread is now a begging thread for tqs, everyone kinda hangs out here, but its a Secret

Quote from .teri. :
two reasons HFCS is used. 1) it's cheaper than sugar for sweetening and 2) farm subsidies. It guarantees corn sales for farmers. If the government used the subsidies for purchasing the corn for alternative fuel it would be healthier for us than HFCS.
There's a 3rd reason. There's not enough sugar grown in the US to meet the demand, and there are limits on how much sugar mfr's can import.

Since the consumer is learning how bad for you HFCS is and demanding a change, mfr's are using less and less HFCS and more and more sugar.

Problem being, there's just not enough sugar. So the mfr's recently asked the USDA to lift the sugar import quotas. The current administration said NO.

So now the cereal mfr's and other companies using a lot of sugar are moving more factories to Mexico, where there is no sugar quota.

I'm wondering how long it will be before the situation reverses and Americans have to sneak into Mexico for work instead of Mexicans coming here. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

Went into the totally target deals thread this morning looking for something, and I see we are back to pages of coupon begging.. Maybe we need a new thread just for that and call it "target coupon requests"
Too funny, I just came from there and was thinking the same thing. Its crazy annoying! But you know if there was a new begging thread, the beggars wouldn't know about, so they'd still beg in the deals thread. Then others would just flame them, then others would flame the flamers, then a first time poster would ask where to find the TQ everyone is talking about and it would start all over. Kinda' like giving a "moose a muffin" or a "mouse a cookie"....

Wave My poor Mavis is still congested and had a bad night. I've been running the humidifier, which helps, and just made some saline drops. She's so tired, but has basically only taken some mini naps. I think I'll take a hot shower and see if the steam helps her too.

For those of ya missing my cravings, I've been wantin choklit cake with real buttercream frostin (not the crud that the grocery store says is butter cream), and bread & butter... yup - carbs-o-rama. Oh - and avocados! Hoping to make an ST run for that today!

I wasn't serious about staying under the radar! For me that's not possible, I do not S&G, but I am in target so much that I know all the cashiers, now a lot by name, (because I started taking them down for survey purposes).

But for me they all know who I am so there's no flying under the radar. I'm always kind and curtious and try to be as organized as possible for a smooth and quick checkout.

And now I am having less trouble as they know who I am and that I do not cause trouble by trying to use incorrect qs, etc.

Quote from CountryFan :
I know stay under the radar but what the heck it wasn't two carts of cereal like some people did awhile back. Last week for the Q, probably last Target trip for a few weeks, I was going out with a bang.
I calculated to come out owing less then $1. Hubby was starting to eye candy or anything easy to grab and throw in the deal but the last Q adjusted and just zeroed out.

Attitude helps a lot!
We always warn the cashier and anyone who gets in line behind us that we have coupons.
At one store if we are lucky to get one of our fav cashiers she is a riot with coupons and answers to people when they say OMG you are paying how much!!??
There are times we go weeks or months with out setting foot in a Target. Our little community doesn't have a Target, Walmart, CVS, Wags, RA or any fast food places so we have to travel to the 'city' for everything!

Oh! I emailed T the other day about how the store wouldn't re-imburse me for the tq's, and they emailed back to say they are sending me a $25 gc!
