Thanks! I've got a few of those coupons, hope my store has the product tomorrow! I love reading the BF stories and watching them on the news, but I didn't go anywhere today. Snowy and icy here and there's nothing I needed that can't wait. I think we're going shopping for a bit tomorrow morning though. Have some Kohl's Qs that expire 11/27, must use!



Since the coupon is under the item, circle the item with a sharpie so you don't notice the coupon. That's what I'd do, just in case.
For the $25 off coupons for sonicare, I am assuming that the cashiers have to type in $25.00, is that correct? TIA!!

hi all! man, i share your stories of exhaustion. i am beat. every muscle hurts, my hands feel like burning straw and i feel like i could sleep for a week.
so wednesday was nuts. had spent tues night into wednesday with mild food poisoning. so i was already feeling all icky wed morning. went out to run errands first thing in am, and while checking email on my phone saw a message from paypal. normally these are all scams and i'm very savvy about them. but this one was very, very, very, authentic and actually sent you to the paypal site, where you logged in securely. turned out it was a sophisticated phishing scam where they capture your password and credit card info when you log into paypal and type info. OMG
i got suspicous when i got a few error messages on the paypal site. raced back home. talked to paypal for an hour. had to cancel all links to the paypal account, change passwords, blah blah. then had to call to cancel the cards that i had entered the numbers for. then had to call all the direct bill companies and cancel/change all that. then had to go to the bank to get a temporary debit card. Faint
that was a whole 4 hour endeavour. then, getting ready to leave bags in hand, i fell down the stairs. hurt knee, ankle and shoulder. everything's all swollen and bruised. then got a $25 parking ticket. and had 2 nasty family arguments.
i sat in the car all by myself, knee bleeding and bruised, ankle throbbing, and bawled my eyes out. by now it was 1:30 pm. i had planned to get all my food shopping done in the AM, so i could start cooking. nope. whole wednesday morning went in this junk. i got home from shopping at 7:30 pm after braving lines and crowds at grocery stores. i was beat.
got a little cooking done and then i passed out on the couch with throbbing ankle and aching shoulder.
thursday was a marathon day of cooking, cleaning, cooking, cleaning, cooking, cleaning, cooking, cleaning... cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. Faint

passed out on couch again at 2am, with my back and shoulder and ankle killing me after hours of standing in the kitchen. friday morning - more cleaning, fridge rearranging, then to the mall. came back home, and i passed out for a few hours again, only to wake up to do more housework and guests.

i am wiped out. not sleepy but just plain "i-need-a-bubblebath-and-a-big-cushioned-luxurious-hotel-bed" kind of tired.

....Getgreen - Hope you had some Rockin' Shoppin'
thank you hon! did a little this morning - a few clothes at gap, they were 50% off until 10 am. got into the store at 9.57 am Smilie one woman was walking around screaming at people to get in the cashier line and just generally being overly bossy while handing out the 50% tickets. ugh. sent sis into line while i looked for stuff. gave her stuff in line. then sweet salesperson/cashier who'd seen me running over to sis, walked over to me with a smile and said "miss?" while deftly pulling out a 50% ticket from his back pocket, and slipping it into my hand. then he gave me a big knowing smile and walked away. woot
so once sis checked out for me, we went around the store and found afew more things, plus of course asked darling salesperson for his help and told the manager how wondrous he was!
was a really good deal. got a pair of wool navy pinstripe dress pants for 29.75. two dresses/tunics that one can wear with leggings and boots 12 bucks each. couple of winter hats. a top. i was happy.
also managed to pick up stuff i had bought last week, only for half price this week and return on the rcpt. so i saved a lot, plus got some new basics that i desperately needed since none of my old stuff fits me right now! woot

if anyone here is interested in gap and feel bad they missed it. they have a coupon for 40% off everything in store for this weekend. there are lots of good things on the sale rack, including some great jeans.

macys! i knew i was forgetting something from our shopping excursion. geez, i'm like someone with amnesia that woke up from a 60yr sleep. mention a word and little bits of the past days comes back to me! laugh out loud

macys... they have a 10/25 q and a 15%/10% shopping pass.
somethings you can apply the 10/25. somethings the shopping pass. we hadn't planned on going there, but went there spontaneously... tribe members liked some stuff. so we get to register, about to check out when i see this woman handing a 10/25 to a cashier and cashier trying to explain to her that the % off will save them more money and she has a % off q at the register.

bulb in one of those amnesia moments, i remembered seeing the 10/25 q on the SD frontpage. so i pulled said tribal creatures aside and we pulled up both qs on the phone. then divided up the treasures to maximize savings. told cashier that one supposedly irresponsible creature had left all the printed qs at home in a moment of sheer negligence. cashier took pity. we walked away 15 bucks richer.

word to the wise.. do your research and your printing before you go anywhere near a store that you may/may not enter. and don't count on your exhausted brain to remind you. although mine did. and i love my brain even more than usual for that. Big Grin


eta: more amnesia.... AND i found a replacement for my prescriptives mascara that is no longer available because estee lauder shut down prescriptives. i ahve been hunting and hunting and hunting for months trying out different mascaras that don't look right, and/or irritate my eyes. and scraping the edges of my mascara tube. no more. i have mascara again.

If you use my points, it's the same theory. What happens is you print the coupon, redeem it, and them about a month later, you get your points.

You didn't miss anything. We all got canceled. Some genious from SD decided to call and ask Staples why they are offering it so cheap and can he get an fast delivery. Took about 12 hours then canceled.

Quote from dreemedayze :
soooo tired.

Went to TRU at about 4:50 yesterday afternoon to get in line. I was 3rd in line and DH 4th. It was about 30 degrees and we froze our asses off. It was insane by 7 PM. They had about 2 cops and tons of security. The line was all the way around the building. We were lucky and got everything we went for and then some. Then headed to walmart for midnight jammies. Got all of that and some Hot Hands, a Coleman heater, gloves, and hoodie, and left for Home Depot or the LG frontload cherry red washing machine. I was determined not to freeze anymore.

.
Glad you got everything you wanted/needed. How are you feeling? hug

Greenie...I don't do pancakes for everyone else..that's your job. I'm supplying the griddle and batter. (See, I know how to delegate)

Secret Santa's...how are we all doing? When do we send out packages?

Thanks, very interesting! I need to remember to check MyPoints and Swagbucks regularly for the coupons then.
They are the same coupons. They are just being offered by two different sites. You decide which site you want points from that month and do it that way. My points does track my coupon usage and applies the points on a monthly basis. I would think it would be the same way for swag.

I never come into this thread, so sorry if I'm not following any sort of etiquette, lol.

I was wondering has anyone frozen the Market Pantry french bread or demi loaves from Target?

If so, what was your experience with it?

I have a huge freezer (now full of TGIF and OreIda,lol) and want to be smart and start stocking it with "real" food a bit more. I can pick up the demi loaves for .10-.20 apiece AC.

One more question, the new bakery Q says it's for over $1 purchases, does it beep if the item is less than $1? One store I went to had the demis at $1.17 and the other at .99. I didn't try to buy any at .99 because I didn't want to deal with any potential hassles at that point in time.

TIA!!
I freeze them all the time, I have a freezer basket filled with them, DH just pulls one out microwaves it for a sec, then fills it with redlined stew meat and a TGIfridays pepperand onion baggies and eats the whole thing! -- Just make sure the loaf is frozen b4 adding more on top, the will get squished.

G'morning!! Wave

I feel a little more refreshed this morning.

I am loving the $5 PetSmart coupon....they had some great deals yesterday and combined with that q I got a lot of stuff. Trying to get plenty of gifts for my SIL's cats (they're like kids to her since she hasn't been able to have a baby) this year.

My extended family sorted/boxed up our big donation for the local shelter last night --- here [animoto.com] is a short video my brother made. We figure it was $2000+ worth of stuff this year...for a very minimal price since my mom and I do most of the shopping with coupons Smilie We've been doing this in lieu of getting gifts for each other the past couple years.

Have a good day everyone!! I am going to try to hit up Petsmart again today (q expires tomorrow) and maybe Walgreens while some of those deals are still good Big Grin
