M2C, sorry you have the stomach bug now. hug

L2B, congrats on the weight loss!

Flugette, I had a similar incident at TRU yesterday. I used the $5/$25 coupon then handed her my $3 birthday coupon. She kept telling me she couldn't even try because the total had to be over $25 (after the 5/25) as it was. She couldn't grasp the concept that it only has to be $25 for the coupon to be accepted, after yes it can be under $25. She was very surprised when the $3 was accepted. laugh out loud Maybe they don't get a lot of coupons?

Cherry, you've received some great advice. I'm sorry your company is being such a pitb. hug

I thought the comments about the lemondrop story were hilarious. Guess the morality police didn't. Frown Maybe getting Sobe free doesn't give the same thrill but like the bike deal that sjm brought over from the Kmart thread, phew that can be exciting. laugh out loud

That used to work but it doesn't anymore, at least on gmail (I tried very recently)
Does it still work to do [email protected], [email protected], etc.?
Quote from .teri. :
one of the biggest things I miss about apartment living is the 10off10 q's from penneys. people would throw them away at the mailbox trashcans and i could always find 10 to 20 of them.
Hmmmm, I suppose you could go haunt the old apartment building foyer and see what you can find.

I had lost 2.5 pounds since my last weigh in before vacation.. Makes my total lost at 39 pounds so farwoot
That is FABULOUS!!!! Whee
Quote from meeshecat :
What is on everyone's must list for Christmas for the kids or for family?
Son 23, Daughter 20 -- I have no idea for either of them. We stopped doing Santa last year but I will still probably do a stocking.
Hubby and I don't exchange anymore. Nothing we want or need -- well actually, I think we are going to buy ourselves a fish/depth finder.
His Dad and wife --probably an Applebee's GC,
My Mom (Dad dead) probably miscellaneos GCs. BORING!
Quote from love2beeamom :
A friend from church is making a cake for me that looks like a guitar and I am gonna make cupcakes and color them the blue she likes (or atleast try to) and black..
I think it sounds like a great party. Probably butting in and telling you something you already know BUT.... use paste food coloring to get those deep colors. Makes a world or difference. Goin' ahead and butting in cuz I was talking to someone a while back who had never heard of it.
Quote from meeshecat :
You know the cashiers will think 4 LIKE Coupons means only like 4 coupons for the entire order...wth!?!
Does it, like, drive anybody else, like nuts when someone, like, sticks random "likes" in the middle of, like, every sentence? I just wanna, like, slap them.
Quote from myluvjustice :
I asked her what she wants for her bday today: money, bbw gc, flat screen tv,and bendy things? Bendables? Oh and she wants a gc to the justice store since all the clothes in that store have her name on them, lol.
So you are just gonna go with a 46" and call it done, then?
Quote from slowtech :
they tried to sell me a warranty for i think 3.99 but online it's 17.99. at the store dh was thinking it might be worth it. she said i could come back w/in 7 days to buy the warranty. hmmm, maybe i should take it to the bike shop and see what they say....
For $3.99 it probably wouldn't hurt. Something else though, if you need a new part, contact the company. They will probably replace it for you at no charge since you just purchased the bike new.
Quote from rachael_9667 :
It is so hard to buy for our older girls (9 & 11) b/c everything is so expensive for them now.
Do you have a Claire's anywhere near you? Stalk them -- call, ask, when they are having their next 10 for $5 sale and be there when they open if you can. Seems like they are now doing 10 for $10 some/all the time. Not sure. You can get all kinds of cute girly stuff for a little bit.
Hit the Dollar Stores. There is absolutely nothing wrong with thrift store buys either as long as it's like new.
Magazine subscriptions? I know some of those can be found really cheap or free.
How about gift cards for things to do with them. It won't cost you anything up front and can spread the expense out.
Maybe, you get to stay home from school (not a sick day) just you and Mom and make cookies (tape it to a bag of chocolate chips and wrap.
Or a cook out at the park on the Sat. of your choice wrapped with a kite or bubbles or one of those little hot dog trays.

i think somebody should bake the cake and send everybody a slice to celebrate with themyummy. then you can't eat the whole thinglaugh out loud
Oh my gosh, wouldn't that be fun if it was feasible. We all bake different cakes and send pieces to each other and have a cake day.

Somebody asked about Younkers. It's the same store as Elder Beerman, Herberger's, Carson Pirie Scott, and Bon Ton. Right now they are having theirGoodwill Sale [younkers.com]. Donate an item to Goodwill and they will give you a coupon good for 20% off any item at the store. It's valid online also. It's going on at all their stores, not just Younkers.

furn. q on the towels? that is what I was referring to. The misuse of that coupon. Again it's to each their own. But that to me does not fly.

I think that is the whole thing with the thread last couple of days was that coupon use on the towels

Yeah, I was about to post that this may not be the place you want to overly vent about those towel abusers.. cause alot of us are towel peeps in here wave Just call us the tcc towel club.. Can't remember who first mentioned it, but I am sure it was from hereRoll Eyes (Sarcastic)
Although, I don't have near as many as some do, I am pleased with my new ones..

Just sayinSecret you may not want to start a debate

OMG what!

I know the misuse is so frowned upon in both these threads. Didn't know this was ok'ed here. I have heard more against than for. Of course I am against. Not only is it embarassing for me to be told no it is more embarassing for me to be called out on it at the store. Again there are many different views but this one states Furniture. Towels to me are still not a furniture item.

I did not. But to my understanding the $10.00 Target Home coupon can be used on towels. Correct me if I am wrong.

IDK I was to assume no. Target Home FURNITURE. Again if going by wording and picture no. Who said it was ok? See what I mean each thier own and their store. Some stores would def. not allow at all. Again IMHO no. Yet that is me.

What irked me about her is that she told people to learn how to use coupons. and told me to suck it on top of that. I know coupons are sometimes vague yet again this one I can see many uses but towels I can't.

Great shopping today!

I was asking more about the Gillette ones. I have 80 Mr. Clean Qs that should be here by the end of the week. Next week is going to be busy! laugh out loud
Wow, 80OMG I have a hard time using 20.. do you shop multiple stores? Just curious?

Quote from gatorcater :
I know you all said you were finding the MP juice packs again but I thought they were long gone...I found 8, yes 8 of them today on my out of town trip!! Whee

Planned on hitting 2 stores but the first took so long that I only had time for 1 run. It was definitely worth the trip! Used some of my Uncle Ben's BOGOs and $1 MQs. Made for very cheap rice.

Found 5 hr energy drinks on clearance! & 2 free Snuggies made their way into my cart. Oh yeah, towels too. I wish I would've discovered the spa towels before i bought all of the regular HOME brand. Facepalm So much nicer.
I have only found a few of the juice boxes when I have hit stores in other states.. All of our stockers must be on the ball.

I agree about the spa towels.. they are so soft and I like the way they dry. I just wish there were more color choices.. and patterns. DO they make the big bath blanket things.. like a big towel?

Which snuggies did you find. I think I saw some a few months ago on clearance, but haven't seen any lately.

Quote from meeshecat :
Apparently there is a 10 off 25 coupon out for JcPenneys? I bought it of fleebay... it's a printable... good until the 28th... if anyone wants it PM your e-mail and I will send it out tonight to you Smilie
Is it not a one time use thing?? I may be interested..

Quote from Jpow5 :
I've been watching the freezers and fridges (DCPI 072 01 0014 and 072 01 0016) which are currently stuck at 30%. I'd like to know which day they might get their next markdown so I can check again. I looked at the wiki in deals but don't know which dept they'd fall into -- "domestic" or "house wares"? Does anyone know? TIA.
I want the 3.5 cubic freezer. It is sitting at 111.xx here.. not moving down in price at all..


Quote from HDDVDTV :
Sorry, more Kohl's. Look at THIS post. 15% off Friday-Sunday, Sept. 24-26, 2010. Couldn't this coupon be used with the $5 off.

Did not make it to Target today. Had to spend half the day in the Eye Doctor's office. Scratch in eye about a week ago and looks to be infected. Very hard to read with one good working eye! Got 3 different kinds of drops to put in eye every 4 hours.
Thanks for that info.. I need to get there and use the 20 coupons I just bought.

Quote from setsail :
I wasn't clear. When I stated, how do they verify this, I meant how does P&G verify that 4 or less of the same coupon were used in a transaction, or is this just more for the cashiers to have to interpret and misinterpret?
That will be a painful process for them to try to watch and verify..

Quote from myluvjustice :
Sometimes you can't choose your cashier, like in my case tonight, - had two choices, so I picked who I thought was the lesser of two evils.

As for couponing, it does get easier as they see you more, or at least for me it has. Even with all the crap they've gave me, I'm still there shopping with coupons, and I'm not going to stop just because sometimes things go horribly wrong.
I actually went to a store tonight that's notorious for one tq, and had no issues using multiple tqs, in fact I haven't had any issues at this store for almost a month now so I guess they finally gave up!

Ok except for my cashier intervention, with my beloved mr clean.
Seems when I go, there is always only 2 choices and I do the same thing.. pick the lesser of the evils, or like last night, I just went in and checked a few clearance things.. looked at cashier selection, and left..

To my knowledge...it was posted over in the T thread. Someone had e-mailed corp and asked them for clarification and they were told they could use it on anything for Target Home.

I find the whole thing rather amusing. A while back with the first produce coupon, I bought some frozen strawberries -- they weren't free, either. I honestly never gave it any thought. Produce = fruits and veggies. I didn't think, "hmmmm, can I get a way with this" or anything like that. The thought that it wasn't right never even crossed my mind.

Now, looking back, if I stop to think, vegetables come in cans and I wouldn't have used it on that. It does make sense that I shouldn't have used it on frozen, I suppose. It just didn't cross my mind that there was anything wrong with it.

But, holy shit, I got lambasted. So, yeah, I find this whole towels thing quite amusing.

Quote from thismom4deals :
Ironically I usually don't hit up Target....but it sounds like there are some good deals to be had that can be bought early and then price adjusted the day of Black Friday??? Anyone wanna share more about that?

I can't wait for ads to start coming out Whee
I, too, cant wait for the ads. I want a 50'' plasma.

As far as Target BF goes, they do a 2 day sale - not A doorbuster thing so...Also the Price adjustement policy is within 14 days so Buy no earlier than 11/12 then just save the reciept -- I would make a sharpie dot next to each item, then on one of the two days of the two day sale just go to GS and tell them you have marked the items you need a PA on.,

Everyone will run around like Chicken Little claiming Target has done away with there PA policy this year but it is BS, those chicken littles do it every year and every year T does the PA :p
