Might have to do some serious buying/returning for store credit before I can afford all this, though. It would be a nice splurge to get my parents for Christmas, too.

Is anyone on here an actual member of WW online? DS and I made apple muffins this morning with a recipe from his school and I wanted to put in all the ingredients and figure out how many points they are. They were really good and don't use any sugar so I don't think they are that bad for you, but of course I could be wrong.
*snip*
a lot of those newbies were only here for free stuff. and as much as they could get. and i don't care what you say, unless you are reselling them, nobody, not even the duggars would buy 40 of the same/similar shirts in different colors b/c they would only fit a few people, even in that family of 19 kids and 2 parents. usually when it's 75% off it's the xs, s, xxl, xxxl sizes left, of which, not that many people fit. so really, who could you be gifting them to and how many would you be giving to one person at a time? usually they come in maybe 3-4 color ways so you can't give somebody more than 4 shirts at a time. and who gives a gift of the same/similar shirts in 4 different colors? you maybe give 2 shirts. that means you are gifting to 10-20 men in your circle? must be gifting to the office or the sports team and not basketball either, but again, i'm sure the sizing would be difficult so i still call resale.

I donate to 2 non-profit organizations and I try to get as many items as possible for as low as price as possible, not necessarily free. The lower the price, the more clients of the organizations can benefit.
Your example of the 40 shirts [I wish I could get 40 shirts!
I would never try to get 40 at one time like that idiot that posted about the C9 shirts a while back. I hit multiple stores, multiple days over the lifetime of the coupon/clearance. I get whatever sizes are available. The clients are extremely grateful for a shirt, even if it is too big. A too big shirt is better than no shirt. Also, a woman can easily wear a man's shirt, so that expands the possible users of a shirt.
I want a cigarette. Kind of really bad. I haven't had one in 3 or 4 years. Can't remember which year it was I quit but it was the first week of October. And all of a sudden right now I want one. Huh.
Post Edit:
If you need paper to print Qs on, check out Staples this week. $1 per 500 pgs via easy rebate (never done this, so I don't know how EASY it might be). Pg 12 of the Staples ad.

gave away all the plastic cooking utensils also. i now have stainless steel serving spoons, ladles etc and several different wooden spoons for cooking. got them at T with different overage, or as padding/filler items on low oop transactions.
ditto colanders - all steel.
my final kitchen transition is getting freezer safe glass storage containers. i do not like using plastic for my food.
you are already giving them the very best present - your unconditional, undjudgmental love and support. all the money, coupons and sales cannot buy that. and in any case, in the midst of all this housing transition, the last thing they probably need is even more stuff to unwrap and keep and lug.
i know what you mean about feeling bad though. we're so conditioned to give gifts for christmas, that it's hard not to feel terrible when you can't. you could always do what some families do - make a little picture scrapbook, or write a note for each of your parents about something they have done for you/taught you that you cherish. write it nicely on some nice paper, or with a photo and then they can frame it later.

I guess I just feel bad that I'm having to move back in with them now (yeah, I'll admit it. I'm moving back in with my parents). I feel like a f up, they feel like failures...we're a mess (but at least we'll all be a mess together!) My couponing right now serves the sole purpose of providing necessities and if I could manage a luxury in there, great. I guess that was my reasoning, but I don't know. But perhaps you're right- the Keurig would be one more thing to have around. Maybe by the holidays, things will turn around.
Thanks all for kind words. Sorry if I've been a bummer lately.
Looking ahead to next weeks Walgreens ad, where Breathe right 26-30 ct is 9.99 in the ad. There's still the $2.50/1 26+ ct insert MQ and a $1/1 TQ printable (no longer available).
I could always do 2 transactions. One with just breathe right, one with everything else.

I've run into a couple of clueless managers lately. How on earth are they supposed to educate the other team members? It makes no sense to me! Anyway, I've heard all kinds of nonsense lately about coupons at T. The common thread is "1 per", but there is no consensus in the actual policy or application of same. From what I can tell though, it definitely seems as though something has been brewing and trickling down from corporate.
It makes me want to travel and I wish LongTimeLurker7 and Jamie worked at my stores. Or I wish that Target would reassign them as traveling team members and their primary task would be to educate other team members all over the nation and implement their own practices as the standard.
pls don't take this the wrong way. i would only do this if you are willing to buy them kcups forever after. from what you've shared, the finances are really tight for everyone right now and if you have to work some magic to buy it, maybe now is not the right time since a purchase like that has high operating costs.
Definitely not taken the wrong way. My parents are only really light coffee drinkers, maybe once a week, which is why I thought it might be good for them. And if they keep sending out the $5 coupons, I could stock them up for very little (or nothing, if I did it right). My parents are pretty simple people and unless I have fantastic coupons, nobody is getting a thing for Christmas (unless they want Chef Boyardee and Colgate toothbrushes). I feel horrible that I can't give anything to my parents, especially now that they're losing everything.
If you've decided that you really do want to get the machine but don't want to spring for the cups, you can get the "my k-cup" reusable coffee filter attachment and grind and brew whatever coffee you want in it over and over again. This is a more economical way to do it, but it also involves more work insofar as you need to grind the coffee, fill the attachment to brew each single cup, and wash it out in between.
It's really quite nice but you probably won't want to use it as much once you get accustomed to the instant gratification you'll experience with the pre-packaged k-cups. If you still want to get it but want to spend less money long-term, you might want to just buy the machine, the "my k-kup" attachment and your usual coffee so you don't have to worry about splurging on the k-cups. The machine is also great for hot chocolate and tea. They sell k-cups for those but you may as well use the powdered hot chocolate or a tea bag with the hot water as they will still provide that instant fix.
I want a cigarette. Kind of really bad. I haven't had one in 3 or 4 years. Can't remember which year it was I quit but it was the first week of October. And all of a sudden right now I want one. Huh.
On the topic of kitchen appliances and Kohl's, my mother just asked me about a mini cupcake maker she saw in today's Kohl's ad. I wonder if any of you have one of these and would recommend it. I'm also wondering what the best way/place is to obtain more Kohl's Qs. TIA!

As far as Christmas goes...I just lost my mom (June 17th) of this year. My dad died when I was 16. I won't have my parents this Christmas. It will be hard. I won't be thinking or remmbering what I ever gave them for Christmas. I will be remembering the memories of things said and done. Maybe you can make some hot cocoa, put into a thermos and take them out for a ride to look at Christmas lights. Together as a group, I am sure we can help you come up with something special to share with your parents.

Quick little post to give ya' a new recipe we did for a side at lunch:
2 sweet potatoes - grated
1 granny smith apple, finely chopped
2 tbsp cinamon
1 tbsp sugar (I prefer brown)
1tbsp butter
Toss the apple and sweet potatoes in the cinamon & sugar. Heat the butter in the skillet until melted. Fry it all up like you would hash browns and serve.
Yum. Oh, and pretty darn cheap with the produce q's.
Oh yeah - do you think the produce q's that expired yesterday will beep expired? I know there's new ones, but I hate to waste paper since I already printed some.
