i think my freezer is dying. bought two tubs of ice cream. they were solid blocks when i got em. they are lying towards the front of the freezer, but i put a food box in front of em, so that warmer air from outside doesn't hit the boxes when i open the freezer.
just picked up a tub of icecream and it is soft. the ice cream inside is soft, melty but not fully liquid. kind of like softserve.
that's not right is it? yes it's towards the front of the freezer, but it's a freezer. shouldn't the ice cream stay frozen?

My ice-cream is in front of the freezer. I would stick a therm in there and see what it reads.
I'm so sorry.

That brings up a good question to me.. I just bought a freezer from Craigs list and left it plugged in for a day to make sure it was good and cold before using it.. what should the thermometer temp read?

hello everyone, I hope its ok but if anybody has extras of the 2.00 Smart Balance milk coupon from the 10/31 RP, I would love to trade for 6 of them (got a raincheck from my Meijer for this). I have tearpads for free cream cheese when you buy kraft parmesan and $2.00 of coca cola products and nabisco crackers tearpads (or just let me know what you are looking for). I only have one insert per week but i'll do my best.

Need prayers/good vibes/happy thoughts today. IF things with work go as I think they will, I'll actually have a payday by the time I get to FL. And considering I haven't had so much as a dime in pay since March, that's HUGE.

Pray

And then maybe you guys won't have to hear me bitch about not having any money Wink

At my Target..they've started this new thingy...they scan one product and then scan the coupon. If you say you have no coupons and then whip them out at the end...the take everything out of the bags and put a coupon on each product. Ack..blah..
That is a real bummer.

I would go twice a day and forget I had coupons until they had rang everything up. Give them a workout. Big Grin

FINALLY found TGI in stock and got a complete moron cashier (who I KNOW I've had before and has always been good with q's Confused) Got to my TGI mq's and wouldn't even SCAN them, told me I could only use 4 since I was getting 2 free Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) Did the same thing with my Olay mq....seeeeeerioussly?!?!? uuugggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh. Just can't figure this out because I had plenty of other q's.

ETA: should have said, wanted to adjust down my Olay q......ummm, no thanks HELLO I will take it to Walmart - if they're going to give me the full value why would I give you my business Target??

My apologies in advance, TCC peeps, for being a PITA, but I have to ask a major favor... Would anyone have an extra TGIF TQ to spare? I had already bought a few still paying $2 apiece (since, at least for us, they're quick, yummy and moderately healthy ... for packaged food). But we're trying to budget a trip back home for the holidays (about 1800 miles round-trip ... by car!) and could really use every penny we could save...

Thanks in advance for putting up w/me... Blush

Worthy Worthy

Oh, and so as to keep the thread rightfully on track... My almost 3-year-old has not crapped his pants (or anyone else's pants LMAO) in quite awhile --maybe even a month! Applause

Unfortunately, that also means he wants to wipe his own butt after going on the big boy potty... and use half a roll of TP in the process. Annoyed

We only ever get the 75 cent mq. If I have those, I'll mail them to you.

We didn't get the $1/1 Nabisco this week. Ours is $1/2. Stinkers. Frown

*snip*Oh and I hope rachel had her baby! I believe it was supposed to be yesterday. Didn't anyone explain to her that she should have sent a mobile message after birth...maybe we should make a rule..if your delivering, you must within 10 minutes send a message with details.

How you are.
How baby is.
What sex (if we don't already know)
Name of said child.

A picture can wait until the next morning.
Iagree And about the coupons. I know I gripe about this a lot but it is the #1 reason I don't shop at the commissary much. The cashiers here will not scan a single thing until you hand over coupons, then they match them up to the items on the belt. PITA and it's not like they are any cheaper on much so why go out of my way to deal with that?

Quote from flugette :
Yeah, you're probably closer to the reality of it than I like to think. I don't think she was quite all there in the head, iykwim, and thinking back on it, I had seen her walking our direction, but on the other side of the street. So she purposely crossed the street to start up the conversation. Definitely weird. I have been keeping my eye out for her but haven't seen her again. If I see my neighbor, I am going to ask her about the lady - my neighbor has lived here 30+ years, actually since the neighborhood was first built, and she knows everyone and everything that lives here. If the woman is a scammer, she'll know.

*snip(I'm too cynical, I guess - I just assume that anyone out like that is pulling a scam.



That's just not acceptable. I would call corp on that one. That is wasting the time of the customer, and supposedly Target is against that.

Had one bug run today and one windshield run. The bug run, I had to abandon the cart, which I hated to do because I had a pair of jeans for my dd in there that has taken me FOREVER to find. But the cashier was seriously reading the wording on every single coupon, even if she had scanned three identical coupons in a row. And she kept arguing about purchase vs transaction. I pointed out the wording on the P&G coupons about 4 per trip, and she thought it was "neat" that they put that on there, but it didn't persuade her towards my way of thinking. Nope, not one whit. Anyway, she started refusing my Glade Qs, saying I couldn't combine those coupons, despite only having scanned ONE and I had at least 10 Glade items in my cart. When I asked her to void the entire order, she starts telling me that Target had just been having problems "on a national scale" with coupons and so they have to be really careful. I was like, "Um, yeah, Target's in a lot of trouble right now, with lawsuits, etc.". She insisted it was the manufacturer's fault, not Target's, that they were in trouble. Um, ok. shake head
LOL that it's the manufacturer's fault, because them and their vcn have taken over Target's registers.

I agree about the scams. I feel the same way, now, but long ago I always believed them. Then I saw a news story when we lived in WA State. A TV crew followed one of the guys standing on a corner begging for money. Long story short, it was a scam.

Recently, I was going into Giant and saw a lady frantically searching in her purse. When
I got out of the car, she got out, said she couldn't find her debit card and asked me if she could have $5 to buy milk. Being a good Target person, I gave her a $5 gift card and told her that milk was on sale at T 2/$5, which was conveniently just behind this grocery store. Don't know if it was true but even if it wasn't, not much she could do except use that at Target.

Eek! Do you have a freezer thermometer that you could leave in there to check the temp. or is is possible someone left the door open on accident and it got shut hours later? That's happened here with the fridge that is in the garage.

It didn't accidentally get bumped and the temp turned way up did it?

Got started on the outside decorations. Most of the small stuff is assembled. Still need the ferris wheel and merry-go-round down. I would like to have those before I stake every in place. Then I have to drag out the drop cords and power strips and more drop cords and timers and more power cords and, well you get the idea. There won't be any icicle lights all around the house this year. We don't have any gutters to clip them to. We ripped them down to do the new fascia and soffit.
