On a EXTREMELY Bright Side, I had gotten the shaft on the reorder of my Brother's GPS from Black Friday and my first email resulted in a form letter, which made me mad. I took the time yesterday morning to spell it out so that a 3 year old could understand that they owe me $$ with this order and I got an email this morning that said they would credit $30 to my credit card as soon as it ships. Yep, I'll be watching!
Glad you finally got through to them. So will you end up paying the BF price or were you able to get "an additional discount" as the email stated? I got the song & dance that the "additional discount" was them being able to price match the BF price. I ended up paying more than I did on BF, with the promise of the credit when it ships, bringing me back to the BF price. I know the BF is a great deal (otherwise I wouldn't have bought it in the first place), however, they said there'd be "an additional discount" and the SDer in me really wants it to be even a better deal, is that so wrong? It's been so frustrating.

Depends on how MUCH they credit. Right now it's approx $20 over my Black Friday oop, so if they take another $30 off, it will be cheaper than what I tried to do on Black Friday online. I'm a wait and see girl. If it comes thru, great. If not, I've got more Bitching to do laugh out loud

I wonder where HDD is this morning. look around

I knew there was a reason I didn't like reading in Hot Deals. And at breakfast time, no less. I do NOT want to know # of squares used per 'sitting/seating' either.

I have a question for all of you pros:

Does anyone know how to get their Target mailings address updated after a move?

We moved out of my in-laws house and into our own house recently. We did not have our mail forwarded because we have the same last name and were concerned that we would begin to get a bunch of their mail on accident (this happened to my parents and brother when he moved out of their house).

I just spent about 20 minutes on the phone with Target and they said since it is a randomly chosen list of who gets what mailings, they are unable to update the addresses. I think this sounds crazy and silly. I asked if I could have them stop sending the mailings to my in laws address and then add me to the mailing list with my middle initial and my new address. They said they couldn't do that.

I just changed my address book/history in my Target account history. Does anyone think this will help?

hug Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to give me.

Hi, welcome! If you can figure out how to get on the mailing list and let us in on the secret, you will be our new hero.

Gt, I think I'd buy at electronics and then do a missed Q at Customer Service for the $15GC Q (sort of what I did when I bought my Brother's Garmin, that T didn't price adjust on Black Friday), but others have W A Y more experience than I do buying a high priced item.

What is everyones take on this....

http://press.discovery.com/us/tlc...couponing/

It seems like it can be BAD as we may start getting alot more limited if the stores see this especially stores that double, etc.
Awesome show. Only handful of people extreme coupon. I wish I was one of them. Its alot work and time. I love the deals posted on SD. I do save alot of money using coupons which allows me to spend money on life that I would not be able to afford and be debt-free. Share the joy of couponing. There will always be bad apples in the bunch that spoil it for the rest of us that is a fact of life. Be persistent and kind to our retailers who are coupon friendly. We have a choice not to shop at the stores who are not. I exercise that right. Remember coupons are cash that is paid by the manufacturers plus 8 cents.

Thank you SDers for sharing your scenerios and deals. I truly appreciate it.

Anyone know anything about the T at the Brandon town center in Tampa? Baby has been up since 11 thinking she's going to party. I just threw her in the car and took her for a drive to knock her out. Saw that T is right near where we are staying. :
I have done the car trip thing more than once.. We were staying in a hotel when my DD (now 16) was a baby and she wouldn't sleep no matter what we tried.. Finally after midnight, I told DH I was gonna take her for a car ride. He couldn't believe I wanted to drive around a strange city at night, but it worked.. 15 minutes in the car and she passed out!

Quote from ank220 :
Ah, okay... Just worried since it says they are not reloadable!
I would be worried too.. It does say it isn't reloadable, so why do they even try? I always just have them put mine on a target GC cause I know I can use it right after they load it Wink ANd if there is a problem, I can go right back to CS to get it fixed.

Had the most awesomest Christmas celebration with the in-laws last night --- best one in years! Got home way late. My dd has far more stamina than I........in bed between 10:30-11:00 pm and up by 8 AM EEK!

Have a good Saturday everybody! We have rain turning over to freezing rain & snow here today and blizzard conditions forcasted for late tonight and tomorrow....fun FUN!
Yay for great celebrations! What time does your DD normally go to sleep.. That sounds almost like my daughters schedule every day laugh out loud She goes down 10:30, sometimes not asleep until closer to 11 and wakes up 8:30- 9:30 most days..

We have some cold weather coming in here too.. With a few flurries only.. But, a really cold windy couple of days in GA that we aren't used to here in the southOMG

Quote from gatorcater :
M2C: i have been to the T in Brandon before and had a very friendly experience. There is also a T close to the airport (walter's crossing) that was extremely accommodating last time I was there Evil

Hope you're having a good time!

We had a holiday party last time with the kids from DS's school. They all exchanged presents and a couple of the kids cried when we left. I think DS and his friends are really going to miss each other when we move... Frown
When is the move gator??
Maybe they can write notes to each other.. Nice thing about that age, they make new friends pretty easily.

Wave morning.


First dude is the We Use Coupons dude, that's the one that had all the jello from a news report earlier this year (who did NOT donate them). He has Krogers that doubles Qs to $1 (ie, $1Q ==> $2 discount)

Our local CBS station did a little bitty story on a local blogger who coupons and the station manager said it was one of the most commented stories they have run this year, so I guess it's trendy now to Q? Who knew I was trendy LMAO after all these years.

If you are a Wagger, the Hallmark Tissue deal died overnight. I'm thrilled that I decided yesterday to take the morning off and run errands in the bright sunshine before the clouds moved in and made it gloomy. I only did 4 runs of the HM deal, but now I have plenty of funds for stocking stuffers.

On a EXTREMELY Bright Side, I had gotten the shaft on the reorder of my Brother's GPS from Black Friday and my first email resulted in a form letter, which made me mad. I took the time yesterday morning to spell it out so that a 3 year old could understand that they owe me $$ with this order and I got an email this morning that said they would credit $30 to my credit card as soon as it ships. Yep, I'll be watching!

gator, happy that your kids had fun and that they have friends, but kids seem to be resilient and make friends easily, particularly the younger they are.

I am not a wagger, but was going to pop in today, for the free candy (coupons finally came) and was going to get some paper.. Did just the tissue paper die, or the whole halmark deal? Can you still get 2 rolls of wrapping paper for 1.99 and get 2 RR back?

Thanks for the update.. I can't keep up with so many threads here on SD.

I do pop into HD every now and then and try to snag a deal or 2 Wink

I don't know. More folks were doing the tissue paper due to lower cost, so I don't know if there was a true 'report' on the wrapping paper. When I bought two rolls of wrapping paper yesterday it HAD to be the Color Studio paper, even though several types were in the same boxes, and they rang up as $1.99 and $0 (just in case you were trying to include that for the Super Jingle Cash). I wish I'd seen the red polka dot paper yesterday, as it's so cute.

I sent you a rep reminder about the Green Advantage Flyer CoverGirl Q, as the PQ, combined with the MQ,could mean some cheap cosmetics for your stockings you noted in deals.

It has changed over here. It's coming down hard, winds are picking up, visibility is decreasing rapidly. Daughter is leaving now for work -- at 11 pm tonight. She's night auditor at a motel and works 11 - 7 tonight. There is no way she will be able to get to town tonight. Called her boss and he was thrilled that she was willing to come in now as long as she had a room for the day.

Thanks! I will check the publix flyer out.. That deal doesn't end today right? I may need to order some CG coupons cause I don't think I have more than 2 of the last p&g.

I knew more people were doing the tissue paper, but also that due to the number of couponers around here, our wags are hit hard and they are probably out of stock. I was just hoping for a few rolls of free paper Wink

I am here. Busy, busy yesterday. Had stuff in GS. Did good.

So sad the Wags tissue is not working today. I had a great scenario worked out for the BA that needed diapers. Sadwalk

Nice T trip yesterday. I was able to price match 8 of the Wags Pixie things and used the $4 MQ and get the $5 Gift Cards. Also found the Pictureka Games for $5.02 to go along with the $5 MQ. Will be donating these to a local charity. You guys are a good influence. Sad to say I had never donated toys for Christmas before.

Got the defective, electrical tingle to fingertips when touched, HP lappy back from repairs yesterday. Their "repair" was to ship me another power cord. NOT fixed guys. I know it is from old 2 wire wiring in my home but HP could ground the case I think. Called HP and they took notes. Rep said they will escalate to Safety Dept. Thought about it and decided to just return. Looking at THIS [walmart.com] one by Asus. Specs state 6 cell battery. Don't know about that. Any opinions? Anyone have it?

I was going to comment that at my target, it is very hard to get them to let you pay for a really high priced electronics item at the regular register anyway.. So, I say paying for it, and doing a missed coupon at CS would be good..



I tell ya, this darn cold is driving me crazy.. I don't feel horrible, so I am thankful.. just a nagging sneeze and cough off and on.. and when I sleep, I wake up with a stuffy nose.. Ready for it to be gone. Thankfully after a week, my DD is over it. My youngest son had it and is over it too.. Just lingering with me.. probably cause I don't get the rest and pampering that they do when they are sick Wink

My oldest son has been driving an old car of ours since he got his license. I told him way back when that he needed to save money for a new one cause that one wouldn't make it too long.. has over 350,000 miles and leaks oil, etc.. anyway, he came home 2 days ago and said it was smoking.. DH, who is not a mechanic looked at it and said he though oil was leaking from a seal or something now.. But, DS decided he had to drive it to the movies last night to meet his ex girlfriend ( that story in itself drives me crazy!) and then he broke down on the way homeBonk
Anyway, disturbed my relaxing night last night.. and now, he has nothing to drive.. So, unless we get a really cheap used car deal, he better be taking online classes next semester at college Frown

Green Advantage Flyer thru the 17th I think, as daydr3am just posted a new one, so you still have some time.

HDD, do you not have a 2 prong/3 prong grounding adapter that you screw into the screw that holds the face plate of the outlet on that is supposed to ground? If not, find one, as this is what we had to do for all 3 prong plugs and any of the 2 prong plugs that were larger on one side than the other (ie, polarized) in my Mom and Dad's house (built in the 40s). Google image search of grounding adapter, but you probably have to buy a non-polarized one.

Applause on a good Garage Sale
