This thread is being created so people -- generally, those people who can't seem to resist talking about off-topic junk in the Target coupon thread -- have a place to talk about shopping at Target and other miscellaneous matters.

All you folks who hang out in the Target coupon thread, start hanging out here instead! When you've got something relevant to post about Target coupons, please post about it in the Target coupon thread! We'd love to hear about it, but NOT about your dog, your cat, your mom, your genital herpes, your... well, you get the idea.

I always thought Scratchhead that post numbers would be gone (ie, missing in order) when a mod's been here. I guess I don't know much, as I don't see any post numbers that are missing.

Is someone getting too excited over the sizes of the clothes we buy?
I didn't say a thing about that. Just what happened when I shopped. Confused 2 different experiences at 2 different stores. Both good trips and I will leave out the rest of the details so the MA happy person doesn't have anything to do Mad

Hmm. Guess my last post was deleted. Sorry if I said more than I should...Sadwalk
Sorry I didn't see it - so I have no idea ... maybe someone was having a bad day??? ANd I didn't answer the registry questions because I don't know anything about it. hug Sorry.

Quote from mofome :
So glad I read this today. .... Got 6 BE movies and some books and a SB Cranium game to eat overage (had $5/$25, $3 TRU coupons and $4 Cranium too). That was fun!

Speaking of DS' bday...remember I said we got him Spike from the post Xmas toy clearance? DH went to put him together today...he is MISSING ALMOST HIS WHOLE BODY!

And my friend's 5 month old DS is going to need brain surgery to stop seizures he has been having since birth. Weeping

Had a crazy T run...she accidentally voided my entire order when we were 3/4 of the way through my coupons...I couldn't hide that I was upset (needed to hurry home to get ready for the bday party). She called over an LOD who proceeded to take my stack of coupons away with her...I was like wtf? but she came back with 2 of the $3 apology TQs for me...the rering messed some things up but it all worked out with the added $6 TQs. Finally got my Star Wars funtainer for $3.98!

So how's this for a Dec12Girlesque post? laugh out loud Good to have you back! Thanks for asking about my DS he is loving kindergarten and we are hearing lots of good reports from his teachers! I'm so proud! Big Grin
Oh man! I missed the movie thing! MAN - was I asleep at the switch! But to be honest I didn't make it to Target! I am so bummed because I needed to get some more bags of Chef Michael's as I had some MQ BOGO Q's however - I think they expired today??? Grrr - anyone know of any new Chef Michael bogo MQ's LOL

Sorry to hear about Spike! I would think that Fisher Price will replace the parts - they generally are very good at standing behind their products! Oh dag nabbit - I wanted to look at GeoTrax at TRU today ----- grrr I forgot!

I am so sorry to hear about the lil one who need surgery! You have my thoughts and prayers! Please let us know that he is ok!

Glad that your T run turned out ok in the end - that would have been very frustruating - but they did fix it! LOL about the Decgirlesque - HEE HEE! I am so so so glad your lil guy is loving K that is wonderful!!! Here is to a HAPPY year for him (and you Smilie )

Oh and I never know what I will find - but if I get the Deer Park I will more than happily send them to you!

Quote from doublesided :
seriously past 2 weeks I've been in a weird Target funk, ....I hope it's not a contagious disease.
Me too!!!! I can't get there - but today I was out of time - too many parents needing too much stuff! I am rooting for you to get out of the funk ... but peace and quiet to sit and ruminate is ESSENTIAL too!!!!! hug

Quote from laina :
Can anyone tell me if you can use a $10 DVD coupon at T without cashier intervention. TIA
I would say - yes, for sure! However - more importantly .... WHERE did you find the coupon??? LOL

Quote from love2beeamom :
I went to my nephews wedding yesterday.. Had a blast, such a beautiful wedding. As we were celebrating one part of the family, the other was strickened with sadness. My 23 year old neice lost her husband yesterday. He was killed in a head on car crash. So sad, they have a 2 year old baby. Life is so difficult sometimes.
Wow - I am so sad & so happy for you! Why is life so bittersweet??? My thoughts and prayers to your family for their losses --- and hugs to you for enjoying yourself - tis a good thing.

I'm on pins and needles....

What happened with the offer or are there 2 days to respond or something like that to drag it out?
I gave them until tomorrow at 2:00, or today at 2 I guess since it's after midnight.
Quote from setsail :
I was also told that if a coupon doesn't scan the first time, they don't have to attempt it again OR manually enter the numbers. First I've heard of this policy, anyone else?
I've been told by several cashiers that the policy is if it scans take it, if it doesn't dont. but that means if it beeps, not if the scanner gun can't read the barcode. Come to think of it, I've never had a cashier manually enter the numbers. They have always given the q back if the code didn't scan.

Funny you should say that about the hamsters...this one is named Num Nums! laugh out loud

Funtainers [thermos.com] Some were clearanced with school stuff...normally $15.99, got them for $3.98. They keep milk cold for 4 hours or so I hear and supposedly keep hot stuff warm too. I've been sending mac and cheese or ravioli or whatever for DS' lunch. They're a hit among parents on another board I read...that's where I got sucked in! laugh out loud

Please don't put an axe through your head! hug

Can someone PM me if you know the trick to getting more of the blinkie coupons? I found b2g1 Purina ones the other day and only got a few b/c the machine was slow as molasses!

I bet that is what your dog calls him too!!!!!

Hmmm - I should look for one of those for my lil guy! But you are right not for $16!

I won't put an axe thru my head ---- just get so angry some times - my M is really angry because I have been spending time helping my youngest kiddo's GM move and I guess she is jealous - I dunno but after complaining for the 5,000 time I just got so angry I told her that she asks me for help as well and what is the difference - and she got all "Nobody loves me --- guess I will go eat worms" and hung up ... and I refrained from banging my head!!!

weird.
I have had them not accept ones that won't scan, usually Target coupons that I had more of. For instance, I have given them three same TQ's and one didn't scan, so they wouldn't take it. Then I had to dig another Target one out of my purse and give them that. I thought that was highly silly, since it was their coupon and others like it scanned fine. Usually in this case a more experienced cashier would just scan the like coupon again.

I have had them enter the numbers of coupons that won't scan, both TQ and MQ. They can see I have the right items, and there is no reason for them not to accept them.

I guess those ma'ing posts doesn't want people to know what happens with some MQ's, which wouldn't bother me except they are probably using the same coupons themselves. Or they have in the past, and their store doesn't allow anymore.

I found it on a DVD at WM along time ago but wasn't interested in the movie you were supposed to buy as I didn't think it was a Disney film, but the family code says it is..

LMAO I sing that to my kids (32 & 27) when I'm pissed with them.. only thing is the guilt trip doesn't work with either of them..then my GD say's "I'll go get the worms Nana" and then starts killing herself laughing... Then we all end up laughing and then all is good.

I'm sorry your Mom is being a PITA, she's probably feeling left out, tell her if she wants to help she can, pack, move boxes, put crap away, lots for you to do Mom, we'd love it if you'd help... LOL

hey double...I see that ds is not doing well. Pray that he gets better soon hug

Question for Waggers....I see where people get tons of stuff w/ RR deals...but the WAGS FAQ thread says only one RR deal per transaction. For ex: the vaseline stuff this week 6.99 get 6.99 RR. I can only buy 1 bottle per transaction, right? if I get 4 bottles, I will still only get 6.99, right?

So my question is this....I've seen where people order cases of stuff to buy. Do you make multiple transactions in one trip, or do you keep going back to wags during the week...I see pics on the one thread of tons of stuff and I don't know how they are getting that much unless they are going to the store a gazillion times during the week, or ringing up each item as a separate transaction.

I'm trying to decide if WAGS would be worth trying out, but I really don't have time to go to a store every day for one item.

Yes, it is one RR per deal per transaction. So you can only get 1 Vaseline RR per transaction, but you can do other deals in the same transaction.

And, yes. They are doing both-- making multiple trips to multiple stores and doing multiple transactions each week.

I don't have time anymore to do more than 1-- occasionally 2-- trips per week, and I'll usually do a couple transactions per trip. This week I've got a buch of RRa expiring tomorrow, so I'll probably have to do several transactions on my trip today. It is a PITA.
