MadMadMad

an sd'er definitely hit my store today. finally hit 90% off. all the hot cocoa goldfish were gone from the reg shelves and then would you believe i found an opened bag on a clearance endcap nearby??? so i'm thinking it's a reseller.

they took all the seasonal scotch tape from the tape aisle and even the holiday command hook that was on the hook above but in the back. i didn't do a good job there. they did a sloppy job this time so i did find some tape mixed in w/ the reg priced. but they didn't find the etch-a-sketch i had tucked in there thoughStick Out Tongue. not sure if they saw all the striped holiday tape down below or not. i didn't buy any b/c i have like 4-6 rolls of reg packing tape and it still seems just a little bit cheaper than cheap packing tape at 90% off but i'd prefer just plain clear.

bought 6 of the bike bags b/c i figured if i cut them in half, they make very cheap drop cloths, trunk liners or whatever you might need a plastic sheet for, for .35.

found at least 3 hooks full of the mighty beans, all series 2 except 1 pack. only bought 3 series 2 and the single. wondering if i should buy some for my neighbor's son at .29 and the neighborhood kids b/c i know they are into them? i didn't buy for bff's daughters, even though i know they will like it but they have immature 2.75 yr old brothers and those things will get lost immediately. i gave the boys thomas trains for xmas and they lost the tops of the coal cars immediately.

found one chocolate mousse dark choco w/ cinnamon and 3 intense mint dark lindt bars right at the front of the shelf. the package has stars on the top above the word Lindt in gold.

2 red velveteen pillows mixed in w/ the reg pillows. there was a pretty green *silk* pillow w/ embroidered pointsettas but it was stained on closer inspection Frown.

bagged honey roasted cashews were 1.49 OMG cashews are dh's favorite so i got him a couple bags but i got the rest honey roasted peanuts. also found 1.98 shaun white teesSmilie

they still had tons of the 3pk bikinis and thongs in the sq silver boxes at 2.50. don't think they will go 90% off.

i saw a whole row of those trumpettetoo socks and a row of booties above 2 rows of carters xmas thermal pjs for infants and toddlers. it was all only 30% off. some of the pjs were just striped (scanned as elf) and didn't say anything xmasy so will be keeping an eye on those for when they go 75% off.

maybe i never noticed b4, but they had valentines day socks inc the ones w/ toes and the mary jane slipper socks for girls. bff's daughters bday is 3/1 so will be keeping an eye on those along w/ the tees for 90% off..

Quote from BeKind2Others :
I was assuming the retired nurse scanned the card last and got overage because she said something to the effect that her total paid was basically the same as the price of her roaster chicken. Not sure where the tax figured in or if everything else in her cart was truly free. Or maybe she had a winetag q that helped with the roaster chicken. Guess it doesn't matter. I still liked her run. It seemed much more realistic and didn't leave a bad impression on most people watching or the people in the store.
everything was free except the chicken. shoprite doubles q's, some stores up to = 1.00, other stores coupons up to .99 which is really .75 b/c i've never seen a q for .99. luckily my stores are the latter. that's why she was talking about canned and frozen.

no winetags in PA b/c all beer and liquor has to be purchased at a state store. SIL learned the hard way on black friday when her grandfather wanted a heineken, not samuel adams and she had to buy a whole case Teehee.

i'm sure the couponers did a lot of planning b4 they made their runs to get the best possible outcome. that first crazy woman said that was going to be her biggest shopping trip ever and then she didn't know the registers can only do 1,000 items. any sane person would have split it up into several transactions. there is nothing to gain and a lot to lose by running it altogether like that. i already have a hard time checking my supermarket receipts for $50.

Everyone out shopping?! No posts for 2.5 hrs!

Did someone say they had a document going of all of the stuff to look for holiday-wise??

tm4d, i emailed the xmasclearancelistpart1.docx and xmasclearancelistpart2.docx to a group of people i had emails for, so you can just do a general post tomorrow morning and ask them to check.

ank, bunnies and hddvdtv should have it, but they may have to look for it b/c sometimes those emails go to spam or elsewhere.

this xmas clearance reminds me of last Unclesam but at least it did finally hit 90% off.

In fact planning dd's annual slumber party for next month there.
So I'm way interested in this... Sounds so fun for dd and friends. My niece and friends would love it! How many rooms do get? Girls per room? Are you the only adult? And (if you don't mind), how much does this cost? TIA!

For you Keurig peeps, I was in Walmart today and they had the 48 packs of K-cups for $20. They were in holiday type boxes. I have no idea if this is a good deal or not, since I don't drink it... shake head But I really wanted to feel part of the K-cup crew! laugh out loud

Here are the 2 that I saw:

Holiday [amazon.com]

Coffee Lovers [amazon.com]

Quote from Jpow5 :
That must be it, as one of the replies was "i'm looking at the flowers right now". I thought it was a chocolate deal. Why is it such an infamous deal? Can you give us the scoop?
Quote from kallison423 :
They put the peelies for 1800flowers.com on the outside of boxes of chocolate, so people would go in and take all of them. And then 1-800-flowers voided ALL the codes printed on them (due to "abuse) and made people start sending in upcs and proof of purchase to get their code back, despite many people long having thrown that stuff away or given away the boxes of chocolate. It was just a clusterf*ck and very poorly handled.
I read on the Wags thread that the peelie is only good for long stem roses that are $59.99 - so will still be $30 OOP.

I had some peelies last year when they canceled all the orders. I just saved them. I sent my sister and two of my friends flowers for New Year's - and they credited my orders. I ordered the ones flowers with free delivery and no service charge. I almost sent my sister candy - but dang - they wanted $14.99 to ship the dang thing! Nope. She got free flowers. Wasn't paying $14.99 OOP to send her free candy...

I also found I had left 2 pieces of candy in the candy box I kept. They had melted and then hardened, and will make an interesting specimen for an archeologist some day.

And someone in the Target thread said it will go to salvage tomorrow. I hope not. I left some of the tape for the other SDers in the area - and I forgot to look for the bean things - and I walked right past the cocoa fish and didn't scan them.

I DID have luck in getting a cashier to adjust the price of the Christmas Dingo dog snacks to $1 (from $7.99). Only picked up one bag though. But every time I go - I pick up a bag - take it with me to checkout - and ask them to reduce it for Christmas clearance.

The snowman! Look at the Snowman!

*SNIP*

Behind some tampons? Upright freezer section, bottom shelf, way in the back. Although, I don't thinking freezing is particularly good for coffee. How about somewhere in stationary, again, bottom, back.
Thanks for the ideas, I don't hide on a regular basis much anymore, so was kind of stumped on coming up with a spot quickly. Next to hide is the 2-pack of CHI Straight Guard from the great save area. It's $25 for the 2 full size bottles, and I'd love to score a pack at just 50%. Part of my stash at tonight's T was gone, but the best was still there. Getting the storage bench off the top shelf was a chore that had to wait for DH though. Smilie Reds were all over the bedding/towel rows organizing and straightening by row, lots of them. Probably pulling out a bunch of hidden stash too!


Quote from slowtech :
bagged honey roasted cashews were 1.49 OMG cashews are dh's favorite so i got him a couple bags but i got the rest honey roasted peanuts. also found 1.98 shaun white teesSmilie
Sometimes I just don't think outside the box. I've been getting 8 packs of the Planters everytime I go to T. I only get the plain and honey roasted that are .99 though. I see the others are more and don't even consider them or think about them. Well DH (and myself) love cashews too, so getting a few bags of them for .49 wouldn't kill me. LMAO

Think I'm gonna open those cocoa goldfish and see what the excitement is about. Disappointed that I only found 1 bag of them.

Anyone need a few Kohl's $5 coupons? I got 12 in my inbox that expire Saturday and probably won't use half that many.

I LOVED that 1800flowers deal. I found a lot of peelies and was also RAOK'd a lot of them. I had so many (as did some others) that I had a year of free flowers for my Mom, Jr's. Cheesecakes to celebrate just about anything, and chocolate for the holidays. I also was able to order 3 Swarovski collectibles for mother in law's gifts this year. We also got 25 - 33% Bing Cash Back on all orders until they ended that program. Then I began to order through Swagbucks link and got 2 SB for every dollar NOT spent. laugh out loud I got down to 4 codes with small balances, totaling a bit over $20 and traded them for an Amazon GC, that I hope comes through. That was probably my favorite deal/freebie of last year.

Facing the reality that I am going to be by myself the next two and a half days, with a sick child, while hubby is gone to NC for the funeral. Trying not to feel sorry for myself. Is it bad to hope my son doesn't throw up in the morning, so that I can go to HT for SD? laugh out loud
Hugs for all that you are going through! Hope your son does not do the deed. hug

I'm baaaaaack. No SC sightings. Not a tearpad to
be found at the grocery store Annoyed
If you said you had found one, I would have fainted. I do think she really does spend a few hours each day searching for these.

Update on the school shooting. Student transferred in Nov to this school/district. Apparently he hated Omaha and this school. He shot the principal and vice principal. The news just gave an update that the vice principal passed away. Mini Thrift said she was shot in the head. Weeping
A scary world we live in. Does your mini go to that school?

I would use two and go out today if you sent some.

Although I've about givin up on 90%, and everybody bought all the lights out at 50% which is really the only thing I would actually need to get. Oh and a Mr. Christmas, but T doesn;t sell it. It is the thing that you plug your lights in to and it sychs them to music. Lowe's had one for like $125 but I just couldn't justify full price and I totally spaced on their clearance.
