well how come the 8.00 one didn't do it? Maybe it's onnly the 4 dollar and 5 dollar ones? Thanks for reporting back to us about it.

I am so sick and tired of the updating. I never know what to expect.

Quote from dreemedayze :
I get a discount card? Shut the front door. Does this discount come off before or after coupons?

Orientation is the 28th. I did my drug test today and they are doing the background check. I don't understand why Orientation is so far out but whatev. Gives me time to beat the other stores.
They put the Orientation so far out, so they have time to process the drug check and background (which is just making sure you you weren't fired for stealing or fraud before). No credit check or anything like that.

Discount comes off after TQs, but before MQs and K1'd TQs.
So, for example, you buy:
4 Glade Sense and Spray $6.49/ea = $25.96
- (4) $3/1 TQs = $13.96 <--TM discount applies to this much
-(4) $3/1 MQs = $1.96
- TM Discount ($1.40) = $.56 for 4!

(4) C9 Socks @ $6.00/ea = $24.00 <---TM Discount applies to this much
- (4) $5 C9 TQs K1'd (I know, expired, but using this for example) =$4.00
- TM Disc. $2.40 = $1.60 / 4

As you could see, getting several towels or clearance bath stuff that needs to be K1'd can get you some serious overage w/ the TM discount. So just use the force wisely!

Also, in case they didn't tell you, the TM Discount is only valid with a payment cash, check, giftcard, or Red Card. You can't use a Debit or Credit card with it (unless they are Red Cards). It is also against the rules to put money on a gift card, then turn around and use it for a payment to get your discount. Some people are spitefull enough to pull the receipts and get people fired for it too. I use my debit card to get cash, then use cash right now, but plan on getting a Red Debit card soon, before Oct. 17th.

If your statement was sarcasm (sometimes it's hard to tell on a message board), you can just ignore everything I said laugh out loud

I've never really found anything coupon-wise fantastic about halloween except candy. (which is generally good year-round) The clearance afterwards is what I looooove. I got my three inflatables last year when they were 90% off.

The fun begins near thanksgiving.

No freakin clue. I was shocked that it didn't beep. I thought there was another $/2 update, because something else in my order beeped, but when I looked at my receipt I realized she didn't scan something and that's why it beeped. Meanwhile, My $3/5 Quaker Q only took off $2.xx - the price of 1 box of cereal bars. I mean really Target... you can't get that damn glitch fixed but now you want the cashier to verify every $5 Q I use. Bleh...

Some bad news for you Jamie, BF and Christmas Eve are "all hands on deck" days, where there is no vacation on that day, and everyone works.

I had the great fortune of working opening shift of BF (which was my 2nd time cashiering, first was training) and closing shift of Christmas Eve.

I did get up early and go to Old Navy, but the Lego Rockbands were already gone. Good thing is, you can "trade" shifts if you want, and they usually provide meals for most holidays. On BF, we had lunch boxes from FireHouse subs, and on Christmas Eve we had Chik-Fil-A.

I submitted a batch and I have a valid GC to use. I need to do a few more when I get a sec. I thought all of mine were canceled, but every now and then I get a random email. Cracks me up every damn time!

HT is worth it if you have at least two cards to work with (this is assuming you have to drive a ways - if its fairly close, then its worth it even with just one card). Limit of 20 coupons will multiply per day, and this is register enforced, no way to get around it. I haven't gotten a complete list of the freebies this time around, but with the IPs currently out there, the GM deal looks like a great deal, especially with the current cats going on. Here are some scenarios I found on HCW:

8 Green Giant boxed $7.92 - 2 $1/3 IP and 1 $1/2 IP = $1.92 for 8
6 Pillsbury Grands BOGO - 5.97 - 2 $1/2 IP = $1.97 for 6
6 Hamburger Helper - $6.00 - 2 $1/3 IP = $2.00 for 6

- $6 instantly for buying 20
=($-.11) OOP (you'd have to buy something else to eat the 11 cents.

Get back $3.00 OYNO for GG
Get back $3.00 OYNO for Pillsbury Grands
Get back $3.00 OYNO for Hamburger Helper

Uses 7 of your 20 coupons for the day

Second Transaction - Day #1
8 Green Giant boxed $7.92 - 2 $1/3 IP and 1 $1/2 IP = $1.92 for 8
2 yoplait Plus yogurts BOGO - $2.85 -2 $1/1 IP = free for 2
2 yoplait Fiber One yogurts BOGO - $2.85 -2 $1/1 IP = free for 2
2 Yoplait Smoothies - $7.50 - 2 $1/1 IP = $1.00 for 2
6 Pillsbury Grands BOGO - 5.97 - 2 $1/2 IP = $1.97 for 6

- $6.00 Iinstant savings
=-($1.11) - will have to buy something to eat the overage

Get back $3.00 OYNO for GG
Get back $3.00 OYNO for Pillsbury Grands

Uses 11 of your 20 coupons

6 Hamburger Helpers = $3 after $0.75/3
6 Green Giant Frozen Veggies = $1.94 after $1/3
2 Yoplait Fiber One = FREE after coupon
2 Yoplait YoPlus = FREE after coupon
2 Totinos Pizza's = $1 after $1/2 coupons

Total = $5.94 - $6 Instant savings (should be fine because of tax)
Receive, $3 & $2 catalina's = FREE plus $5 Money Maker
Quote from Dazzledby5 :
Oh WoW! I can actually use all of those things but the HHelper (thanks Target)...I'll totally be heading up there tomorrow! Now off to print Big Grin
Also, the pillsbury sweet moments are included at 2/$5. The $1.50 ip will double completely for a little overage if you give it early in your stack because it eats into the total for all your pillsbury items. And the pillsbury cinn rolls, grands, etc all have shorty barcodes ==> beepage at target. Q's work great at HT though! Kraft cheese is cheap too. The string cheese is 3.99. You get $3 off at the register wyb 3. Other cheese items are included in the deal, but I had the $1 q's on the string cheese. They beep because they don't match the package barcode, but the cashier manually doubled them.
3*3.99=11.97-($1)(2)(3)=5.97-$3=2.97 for 3 packages. Can't beat that at Target! Especially when you can get overage on the pillsbury deal with the right q's! Definitely cheating on T this week with RA and HT!!! Big Grin
