And wasn't everyone ordering 20 qs for like $1? Anyone have the link? I need to get on the kohls train asap.
so I bought 20 kohls q for $1.09, I could have had 20 for .70 but opted for the longer expiration date. hopefully I can find some good dealz!

I'm considering buying some Kohl's q's. Do they have good clearance stuff? DH and DD (and me, for that matter) need clothes. The bad thing about dieting is you need a new wardrobe! DH has lost about 30 lbs and DD lost 20. I just am in an in-between size - looking dumpy in my maternity wear and too big for me "regular" clothes - what little I have left. We definitely don't have much in the budget to warrant a large oop expense when buying the clothes.

Yeah, they do have tons of clearance stuff. You just have to be selective. Like, the racks that say 50 or even 60% off, are always still too much to me. I guess I am spoiled with target clearance. But, they also had 70 and 80% off racks as well. Saw most in ladies and juniors clothing.

I would think you could get some clothes decently cheap with the $5 q's ank.....it is soooo easy to find stuff throughout the store that's almost-free with those in a lot of departments. It is really kind of like a fun treasure hunt. DD has quite the large stock of hot wheels cars, monster trucks, semis and other little toys just from this past week........

Why can't this *girl* love dolls?? Teehee Tonight I watched her put a fire truck to sleep in the doll bed and she doesn't push dolls around in her stroller -- it's always lizards and trucks and cars and other misc. stuff laugh out loud My dh couldn't be more thrilled that she's turning into a tomboy.

Hmm... I will have to go check it out then! Maybe I'll do a recon and see if they have anything worth getting!

Thanks!

And for the record, my toddler is the same way - though she will sometimes play with dolls. She's very much into her hotwheels and "boy" toys.

The worst part is that the coupons now come down so quickly that if they check the website after they've come down, you've got no way to prove they were ever up to begin with. It is pretty dumb and highly annoying.
i totally agree and that is something i will bring up to CS. coupons are promotions. if a company runs a promotion then managers should be aware that it exists. for pete's sake, just send them a list by expiration date of the currently running tqs. it ain't that hard.
and truth be told, if someone at T doesn't have time to type it up, just have someone come to the SD deals thread, or any one of the other deal sites that list T deals, and copy the list of new qs from there. Facepalm

besides it is 2010. why is it that the first thing managers think when you have more than one coupon is: it must be copied! netbooks are available for 300-350 bucks! even kids have computers these days and a lot of homes have more than one machine. grrr.

i'm clearly feeling better enough to be angry. Big Grin sorry for ranting. wave

ank, clothes. a few suggestions:

1. set up a deal alert for macy's hot deals. cos macy's has these special sales every month - 12 a year. usually their best prices in the year. they always have qs to go with that. few weeks ago the one they had one with a $5 every $25 sales or clearance apparel purchase. people were getting 8-10 brand name items, and walking out of their paying 20 bucks for 6 shirts and 4 pants for men, or equivalent for women. totally worth keeping an eye out.

2. keep an eye out on gap promotions. they're running lots of them recently. they are a great place for basics - jeans, trousers, tee shirts etc. last month for example gap had a groupon deal, 15 bucks for $50 voucher - can be used on anything in store. they have the most amazing clearance and sales racks. with referral discounts the groupons cost even less. very good deal. get on the gap and banana republic mailing lists. gap routinely sends out 30-40% off coupons by email that you can use in store. they also have similar % off qs for their outlets in sunday inserts (usually parade mag or whatever the other similar one is called US something ). combined with clearances you can do really well. if you have an outlet near you, banana runs HUGE sales around every holiday. so for example this summer for memorial day weekend they had 50% of everything in store, plus there was an additional 30-40% off coupon. a friend of mine got multiple really nice things for work, 8-10 pcs, maybe more for under a hundred bucks. stunning. banana runs small on the bust though, so that's somewhere you'd want to stay away from for a few months.

3. ann taylor and ann taylor loft look like really pricey stores, but they have the most fantastic clearance cycles. things generally go on sale about 3 weeks after they are introduced. clearance a few weeks after that. lots of basics, but also lots of nice individual stuff. and they, too, have amazing coupons. one they are running right now is buy 3 items get 40% off everything. sales and clearance are included. plus free shipping. their stuff is versatile, their quality fab. i highly recommend them cos you can get a lot for a little.

macys doesn't need "getting into" like T or kohls (which by the way i'm thinking about thanks to all of you. Rofl2 ). the best macys sales are once a month. you hear about them on the new hot deals threads that are created. so just set up a deal alert and you'll know and then you can decide whether to go or take a pass. also, once you purchase something from macys on one of those sales, online or instore, you will be on their mailing list within few weeks. then they'll send you the preview sales flier and the coupons to your home.

gotta love it!

anyways after i explained they were not copied, one coupon per item, i can do separate transactions, they're from the T website, they're for the right items, she says, then why are the coupons beeping? ask your corporate office that! told her this q always beeps on everything and has for a while now. she says, fine i'll only take one. just one. i made cashier void out the remaining bathroom boxes. so annoyed. she then took the q from him and said i'm taking this coupon to the office to check whether this coupon really exists.

yes, you do that lady. i'm calling CS tomorrow for the very first time and throwing a stink about your incompetence and you accusing me of copying coupons or creating fake coupons. RIDICULOUS.

as a consumer why would i want to waste my time walking around the store, picking out things to buy at a promotional price that T supposedly offers, only to be shot down on the promotion at the register because the managers don't know that their own company is offering the promotion, or because the company doesn't program the promotion to actually work? RIDICULOUS.
Was reluctant to post this but I was trying to help the wife of a co-worker by taking her to ST with some produce/bakery/deli Q's. She was so excited at the idea of inexpensive Groceries. I pointed out a nice jedi cashier that would K1 the produce Q's that beep on the oddest items that are obviously produce and even instructed her to offer to split the order up due to the qty of Q's before she started. The cashier was great said no worries but it all on at once. Then I wandered out to wait for her with our kids. When she comes out she is furious.

The cashier was great but a customer in line behind her actually came up and grabbed the pile of coupons she had set down to be scanned. Started rifling through them and insisting that she was trying to steal from the store. My co-worker's wife is from a bit of a rough background and didn't take too kindly to this and asked the lady if she would like it if she grabbed her purse and started to dig through it. The other customer didn't take the hint and kept insisting that using multiple Q's was fraud and stealing. The cashier tried to keep scanning the Q's but gave up due to the scene that was being caused.

I told her to go back in and see if she could do a missed Q's over at CS and somehow the other customer sees her over there and comes over and starts in on her again. The CS employee kept telling the lady she was wrong and that the Q's were valid but she wouldn't stop arguing.

This isn't even the worst part. When she comes out to load up my car so I can take her home. The lady and her get in a very UGLY shouting match from across the parking lot. At this point I will say it is my co-workers wife that stirs it up by starting the shouting match when she sees the woman from a distance.

I was mortified. I didn't know what to do/think. One one hand I felt bad that what I thought was going to be a kind gesture turned into a nightmare for her. And on the other hand I was ticked at the profanities the co-worker's wife used in front of our children and thought it was a mistake to have tried to help in the first place.

I don't think the other lady actually ever saw me but I have been worried that she might be a fellow uber strict SD'er or that she may have caused such a scene as to have made shopping there in the future a problem. I rarely go there but it is one of few ST's within 20 miles of me.

OK I know that HDDVDTV already gave you this link, but I thought I would point out that all you have to do is change the date at the very end of the link to the Sunday of whatever week you are looking for. I bookmarked the page over a year ago and have been just changing the date at the end as necessary ever since.
