RETIRED: Target chit chat

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

My toddler turns 3 on Weds and my teen turns 14 on Friday. It's going way too fast.

Where do you order Q's from? I usually order from Kuntry Klippers but they are oos on tide Q's and coupon clipping crew went out of business!

I need to buy my baby some deoderant ( he's 7 ). He plays soccer on the weekends and this past weekend after he was done he stank so bad.... like "BO" really bad! I feel like he is 2 young but I dont want him to stink! What kind should I buy him? I also do not want him smelling like a grown man!!!

oh boy! hope DD's feeling better. you don't want to get this flu bug that people are getting. several people have reported being down for a couple of weeks and i'm still laboring with it. so, meeshe, please, hurry over to your vitamin collection and start taking booster doses of vitamin c plus some zinc. two family members did that when they were starting to feel like they were coming down with something and within a couple of days, they were fine.
me, i didn't do that. guess who got sick?

windshield wishes???? all i can think of is junebugs going splat on the windshield, and i know you're not trying to make things go splat.

:

Meeshe - sorry about the ER trip. Hope your DD feels better!

my goodness!!! good luck and I hope DD's hand is better



WTH did I miss this time? In TCC or deals?

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.

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



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.

Omg on sister wives he's courting a fourth wife like seiously wtf?

Anyhow, I finally but my kohls qs tonight so I guess I'm jumping on that train, I asked dh if I can apply for a kohls card and he said no I'm trying to build my credit so we can buy a house by next year, hopefully!

TN, I'm sorry I missed this earlier, wasn't ignoring you She's due Dec 14th.

meeshe, so, so sorry about your loss. life is indeed very fleeting, fragile and unpredictable.

who was asking about decor? had some thoughts, especially when I was in T today. will post later.


hi all. missed you guys. been trying to catch up. still feeling ickly but definitely better than friday and saturday. so i'm hoping on the mend.
slowtech and cathi and whoever else told me to slow down - you were sooooo right. trip to T on saturday was.not.fun. i was nauseous and dizzy with cold sweats and started running a temp halfway through the trip. ick. i think people took one look at me and felt sorry for me.

today was trying to get some big size target home bath furniture items. cashier goes to put q through, beeppppp. calls mgr over (thought i'd picked a jedi, but actually he was one of those ultra nitpicky ones. sheesh. the flu messed up my radar) she sees HUGE BOXES in my cart, that clearly show the target home logo and say target home all over them, and then says, are these target home products? then: oh we can't take these coupons, they're copied.
i considered throwing up on her.
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.

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?? 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 My dh couldn't be more thrilled that she's turning into a tomboy.

Ugh. I weighed in today and I'm up another .2. I almost can't believe it. 2 days of vomit and now I'm up. I ate bad today, but tomorrow I'm starting to write points down again tomorrow. Blah, blah, blah.

Awww...no LPS in my paper here, actually, no Hasbro coupons at all

swiffer dust & shine..Love the lavender fragrance..It smells good and does a good job cleaning...Still have tons of bottles from the last time they did a BOGO on these..This time around I will put them in my to sell pile..

Gator, were you asking for size 4T boys clothes at Kohls..They have jumping beans collection priced at $4.99( on most weekends) and $5.99 (on weekdays)..very good use of the $5 cpns...I wish DD would stil fit in those T sized clothes...

K . . . E . . . R . . . - . . . S . . . P . . . L . . . A . . . T

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.

Decorator's secret... The Viva towels are great to lay on a cake and use to smooth out the butter cream icing - makes it nice and smooth and leaves no pattern marks behind. And they peel off nicely - leaving no residue and no clinging to the cake.

Meesh - I am sorry, And you have pets in addition to 8 kids
And just because all of you were talking abt Kohls, I ordered a bunch of cpns last night and used 6 today..got a pyrex container, zhu zhu hamster ( damn cute, I am buying more of these), some hello kitty stuff, some clothes...

How many calories does a MacD frappe have..I am sure I will not like the answer but it is

Regular T's don't carry landolakes spreadable butter:

Dying to know what Qs you used:

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

I would go with a spiral perm. they are not poodle like in anyway, and I think you will get the same effect your looking for. I want to do the same thing but DH is very picky about hair he likes it long and straight, and brown- no red or blonde.

Hey maybe that will be my weightloss reward when I reach my official goal weight, thanks for the idea



I just gave all mine away to relatives, because I didnt like the way they made you go all the time. I just cant see myself using it as a dieting tool

I am obviously suffering from pre-bedtime hunger as I read what you wrote to Jilly as 'I would go with a spiral ham.' Oh boy.

DH has been eating the cereal....and yeah, additional fiber in your diet takes some getting used to. Fiber is like gold on weight watchers though - lets you eat more sorta kinda And fills you up. And I don't think the FiberOne and FiberPlus granola-type bars taste half-bad.

MMMMMMM Ham sounds good, wth are we all gonna do on thanksgiving

Personally, I'm gonna eat In moderation of course

Maybe volunteer to dish out food at the shelters ??? The sight of THAT much food would make me lose my appetite.
