RETIRED: Target chit chat

I hate the St. Louis Post Dispatch. No b1g1 candy here either . NOW how am I gonna have candy for Halloween?

Don't fret. There will be another candy deal before Halloween. They just put out the $5 GC now so all of us suckers buy it early and then eat it all and have to buy more!

So tomorrow I start my new job and I am sooo ready.

LTL, how long does orientation last?

Hope this isn't too off-topic...but this week, while exhausting (67-hour, 2-job work week), has been amazing - won a SD giveaway and proposed / got engaged(!) two days ago

I wanted to give back to those on this thread who have helped find so many deals (and run the ink on my printer down to nothing ) So...

PM me with the subject of "Target Thread Giveaway" and let me know what your two to three favorite Target deals have been over the years. I'll draw at least two people out of those who enter for at least a $5 Target GC.

[extra notes: Must have at least 25 reps&posts, will be open until at least late Wednesday, maybe as late as Friday night. I want this to be in this thread only, so please don't repost in other threads! Thanks & Good luck!]

Good luck tomorrow! Oh and if you get a chance, break into the "super secret coupon software programming room" and hack into the system and make all our coupons work magically without any intervention. kthx

Ya know, speaking of substituting dessert with fruit, I think I could substitute a honey crisp apple for dessert any day. Now if they weren't do darn expensive. Still worth the $$ when you are dieting though. Just one apple with the produce q runs like .25-.30. They're around $2.50-$2.99/lb. here depending on the store

tell me thats not a smile

(even though 3d/4d ...whatever they are kinda give me the willies a lil bit too)

I found it! Isn't it amazing what they can do?

Attaching a picture of my daughter at her party.. I don't want her to be 16.. I wish she was still a baby!

Well... guess I'll stop for now since I"ve practically written a novel.

I love my critters but the funniest thing I ever saw was in Target... a woman had a baby seat and she was rocking it...and there was a MEOW come from the seat...WTF!?! She was singing to the seat with a blanket covering it so you couldn't see in...then I hear MEOW again and so did her cashier.. the cashier said something about the sound and she uncovered the cat and told the cashier this was her baby and it was named a human name, I forget it now..and mommy gave birth to her on x day.... WTF!?! It was time to take her to the looney bin...

Yep, $10 is too much. Will get the $9.99 Bounty next time.

Girl in front of me bought me merona clutches, scarves...I cried inside because she didnt use a single cpn..And i didn't have those cpns printed with me....

12 oz mocha frappe 450 cal 20 total fat 13 sat fat
16 oz mocha frappe 560/24/15
22 oz mocha frappe 680/28/18
12 oz caramel frappe 450/20/13
16 oz caramel frappe 550/24/15
22 oz caramel frappe 680/29/18

Yes, Betty Crocker in a box my friend! (Just don't tell Ank, as she is ripping off her Viva towel off the 3rd tier while making fondant flowers with her other hand.

Thought I chose well, but when I asked the guy about his sunburn (flaking all over) he said it was Psoriasis (hmm, why wouldn't you WANT to wear long sleeves if this is the case?)

Then he became a reading rainbow expert. Some of my Bounty was 9.99 too, but all the 75 or 100 oz tide is over $10 and yes, I scanned every scent of tide on the left side (non-HE) that they had.

Huntsville papers got a SS and the Hasbro Qs. No P&G and No Redplum. And my foot hurts.

What a craptastical day.

Post Edit: Somehow, the Caramel Bugles are making it better though. . .

Hot diggity dog.

for those with the $10 price on the tide if you give the $1 off 2 tide tq hangtag found on many of the bottles first it really helps you save a buck.

Good morning everyone. My kids had a group discussion and decided they don't really like our carpet all that much so they painted it this morning. What's more awesome than 4 pints of paint on carpet? White footprints throughout the house.

Thank god I am on meds or I might be kidless.

Good. Gravy. They need to invent kid insurance. Like being insured for disasters due to mother nature, only from within the damn house by our own offspring....

Am I the only one that didn't know about these free frappe cpns..

I need to get either some FiberOne bars or the Kelogg's FiberPlus bars - I recall using those the last time I lost weight. Need to find a deal.

Thankfully it was water based paint and DH was able to shampoo it all out. Whew!

I would not have been able to control myself. I can usually keep myself from opening the bag of chocolate but once it's open, all bets are off.

Stupid Athens-Banner Herald! My RP doesn't have it. I ordered some off the 'bay, but the closest was MI, so they may not make it here before the end of the week. Oh well, at least they are good until 10-31. I never seem to have the right Qs in the right week.

It's par for the night. DD got sick on the way to swim class, had to pull over several time because she was throwing up. Her head was hurting, which happens when she doesn't eat every few hours, which causes By the time we got to swim class (which is in another town, about 20 mins with traffic), she was feeling better, but when we walked in, swim class was canceled due to the storms we're having here. It's an indoor pool, but it's "grounded" (that's what they said), I think they meant in-ground, so it was too dangerous for swimming. But, we get to drive back again tomorrow for class instead Doesn't bother me too much, though I am tired of being in the truck. The parents behind me were PISSED and making a big scene though.

So tomorrow I start my new job and I am sooo ready.

Went back and got the Dehumidifier. They had marked it down to 70% off.

Also got 4 - $9.99 bags of Mars Halloween Candy and 8 single Snickers Candy Bars. Good deal. Got back 2 - $5 GC.

Thanks all....

Not enough time to catch up right now.
Meesh I hope your DD is feeling better.
Niko congrats on your engagement.

I think my oven is dying. Its emitting a really strong chemical smell lately.

Wow! It took me all day, but finally caught up from Friday!

Weekend went by way too fast. Spent Sat morn in Urgent Care, now have to take DS to the orthopedist on Wed, they think he has torn his miniscus. Have insurance, but the deductable is $2400. Oof.

Good news is, Urgent Care was across the parking lot from Kohl's! Can't wait for the next 15% coupon to come out!

So ... for anyone who is of the praying sort here - if you could say a quick prayer for my hubby's job situation. Long story short - his company is the sub on a contract with Coast Guard national hqtrs. Contract just expired, his company was re-signed as sub under the new prime on the contract. His company won 10 new positions, which is great, and his boss is committed to promoting from within. Hubby has been told he will be taking a certain position that he knows starts at least $15k more than he makes right now. No money has been discussed, and for whatever reason, hubby feels its highly unlikely they will give him that much of a pay increase. Anyway, that would mean SO much to our family right now. It would mean we no longer have to rely on my yard sales and rebates and slick-dealing (although once a slickdealer, always a slickdealer) to survive, I can actually do it just for the fun of it, with no pressure. Contract starts Oct 16, so he should know by then.

And in other news, its a rainy dreary day here. About to send the kids off to bed, and then curl up on the couch with my man Robin Hood. Anyone out there watched the BBC TV series, Robin Hood? If not, and you have Netflix, WATCH IT!! So awesome.

It may have originally originated from that song, but it was introduced into the TCC thread by MOFOME who once said that her mom used to say, "some times you're the windshield and some times you're the bug". I only remember because I made that my siggy for a while. That's how 'windshield wishes" became a TCC mantra! Thanks mofome! :

Hmm... maybe I'll just settle for a nanny.


My toddler is driving me nuts. It's been raining for like 3 days now and she's climbing the walls. She is also claiming to be hungry but won't eat anything I feed her. Grrr.

Holy Superspeedy Posters Batman!!! Do you remember when this thread was sort of slow and calm and relaxing .... ummmmm what happened???

No chance of catching up here - just saying Hi!!! WW to all!!!!!!!

The only thing I could think was that the woman was either an off-duty T employee or a fellow couponer that didn't think she was flying low enough under the radar due to the quantity of T Q's she was using in one Tranny. She may have thought by going out of her way to police my co-workers wife that she would appear above reproach when she used her own Q's.

BTW I had her ask before the cashier even started if she should split the order up due to the qty of Q's and the cashier told her not to bother. Her cart was less than a 1/3 full. with about 1 dozen cheese sticks, 10 different fruits & veggies & 5 bread items as well as some dr. pepper, pizza & milk that she didn't have q's for.

The woman even tried to accuse her of trying to stealing the dr pepper as she had only put one on the belt and had told the cashier about the other two before the nightmare customer walked up.

The last we heard of her she was shouting that she had taken pictures of my co-workers wife for the store management to warn other employees about her attempted theft.


Again my only problem with the whole thing is how ghetto my co-worker's wife response to the situation was. I didn't mind her standing up for herself but the profanity she used was so colorful it contained words even I had never heard used in public. I think if our kids hadn't been with us she might have actually walked over to confront the lady and I don't even want to know what I would have done if she had. I had driven her there as they are so broke they don't even own a working car, but I would have been awful tempted to just drive away without her if it had escalated even further.

ahhhhh, got it! thanks l2bm! i was a bug yesterday. windshield day before. actually yesterday i may have been the wiper blade, seeing as one tq was accepted.

agh! can't believe today i went to deals first and missed the fun over here!

actually, i was going to swat somebody over there using the merona accessories q on a lot of apparel but i think i'm finally maturing and will maybe pm that person first. then, if they don't get it, the gloves are off.

my sil derailed me by emailing me this morn saying her ds wants to go apple picking. bff said the same thing this morning by coincidence. so i was searching for a place w/ both red and green apples, pumpkins and a corn maze. not so easy to find.

For all you new Kohlies , there is a cookbook by the registers, "Deceptively delicious"
all about modifying receipes , it is $5 and all prceeds go to charity. Great for dieters asnd fusssy children !

This a really off the wall question but are perms still in style? I am thinking of changing up my hair, right now it is just long and straight and BORING. I used to perm my hair and am thinking about doing it again. I am thinking a sprial or bodywave, not a poodle curl. I love Nicole Kidman's hair when she kinda has a loose wave. I just want an easy style, low maintenance style. Anyone have any ideas?

Sadly, no. Just cereal.
