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.

My T was 90% off for Halloween today. Been out of couponing and shopping in general for quite a while - working full-time and going to school full-time has me a little Crazy I was afraid I'd lost my touch, but went to T, used some q's, came home a very happy woman. Big Grin

Xmas Mr. Potato Head, Tag, and Glade are good friends of mine tonight. Got lots of gifts out of the way! Wish I had remembered supervisor approval at $10 and not $10.01, but all worked out well in the end.

nod Both stores I went to today were at 90% (candy at 75%). Got some cute costumes for DD for next year (and the year after that one! laugh out loud). Also found a couple more Skelanimals for 90% off! woot Saw a cute Skelanimal jacket and shirt for DD and they were $1.49 and $.99, respectively! Nice bargain.
Nice run! Halloween was 90% here. Got a lot of cocktail napkins for $0.15 but that was it. Good run tonight. Customer behind me tried to get all up in my business. I politely backed my cart up into hers. She stepped back. Big Grin

I kept the bow for her baby box. Smilie

I found them mixed in with the other Halloween clothing. I wasn't sure if they were included, but turned out they were! woot The shirt I got was an XS (my DD can wear these sizes - Weeping - she's only two!) and the jacket was a S (it'll be good for her next year or so). HTH.

Thanks! I didn't see any napkins, but did get some costumes ranging from $1.99 to $2.49. Great deal in my book! nod I totally know what you mean with people trying to get up in your business...I've had to set a couple of them straight today too!

Awwww - those pics make one tear up - SOOOO SWEET!! Your kiddos are just too cute!!! CONGRATS on your newest wee one - she is adorable! What a loving big bro to watch over her hug

Quote from 4BusyBees :
My T was 90% off. Very picked through but managed to get DD some pants and a long sleeved shirt to put up for next year. I think they were .49 and .59 each.

One pair of pants were just colorful stripped and could still be worn this year! They didnt look Halloween but matched the other stuff and was .59 so I got some
Score!!! That sounds like you did great! There was basically nothing here ... I did get to go today to try and get my Flip (that is supposed to be my Christmas prezzie lol) and the lady read my coupon expiration date ... no go ... I am going to try to see if I can get the kids to mellow and go again in about half an hour!

Quote from setsail :
Wow you are lucky! The regular T near me had none on Thursday, another slightly bigger store had a few bags of Whoppers, Milk Duds and candy corn today.

I didn't realize the Secret Flawless 3 pack is on TPC for $9.19. I only saw powder scent or something like that. I posted in the deals thread about this but thought I would give a heads up if someone else was wondering- the Leapfrog Tag coupon came up INF for the Tag reader itself. So I tried the Tag Jr, still beep. At least I was at a store that didn't have problem with K1. Only thing in my entire order that needed K1. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)
Quote from flugette :
And let me tell you, I burned the fresh pine & cedar this afternoon and it was awesome!!
Hope you did well with your garage sale!!!!!! May I ask though - WHERE does one locate this "fresh pine & cedar" scent?? Sounds great and I looked when I was there today and I couldn't find it .... is it somewhere other than with the candles?

Quote from whimseys :
Seriously? I mean...seriously???
Maybe they live in a place like this where they are keeping those catalogs/coupon books behind the counter and you have to ask for one and then only get one. ??? Who knows ???

Quote from bblueskye :
So I know a few of you guys have also gotten the mouse RC GC so I wanted to give you a heads up about it...
Hey any chance that a few blank ones of those might follow you home and perhaps make their way here??? I would happily send you postage or something.

Quote from lovemychaos :
I was able to print GE target coupons from both coupons.com and couponbug.

Also saw a nice sized Purina Busy Bone B1G1 on both sites.
THANK you for the tip on the Busy Bone .... is there a deal on lightbulbs or are they at their normal price?

Quote from .teri. :
I've always used bleach water in my steam cleaner for carpets. Just a lil bit of beach though. It works so much better than shampoo and leaves the carpets clean. For wood floors, my mom has always used vinegar water and they come out beautiful and have stayed beautiful for over 30 years now.

I agree about the detergent attracting dirt. My favorite cleaning item is still my ultimate cloth. It cleans countertops, stoves, fridges, floors and especially glass/mirrors without any streaks at all, and stays cleaner longer because there is no soap residue. I paid 6.00 for it and I've been using it for 2 years now.
May I ask - does she put the vinegar & water in a steamer for the wood floors??? Isn't that too hot? I don't have real wood floors - I have a floor of laminate - but I am trying to figure out tile which should be "easy" to clean I think. Must go and look up 'ultimate' cloth - don't know anything about it.

Anyone ever used that glueless laminate flooring - it is pretty cheap per square foot (less than $1 some is close to .50/square foot) are there any disadvantages to it?

Quote from Sharon526 :
So I did what people suggested and mailed those movie tickets out after I got the email from that lady saying she never got them even after I emailed them to her.. I did it with tracking, but she filed a claim and it looks like ebay is going to side with her because the package was delivered on 11/5 and the tickets expired on 10/31. They said it doesn't matter that I emailed them as PDFs on 10/17. So that B*tch is going to get away with ripping me off. Mad
Can't you contact the code folks and find out if those codes have been redeemed? If so when/were exactly? If it is at her local movie house then I would think you would have grounds to contact the police at that location and then submit that police report to Ebay. This is crazy - I am sorry!

Quote from qqueen :
Just about half way along, 18 weeks.....can never figure out what that means, months wise. I guess like 4 1/2 months? I feel great, I'm blessed that I don't have a sorts of sickness or weirdness. I do have a very irritated cervix Confused
Dr. scared me last week and made me do a biopsy. You know, I of course self diagnosed myself with the C word, but all turned out well, thank God!

Just found out its a BOY! My 4 1/2 year old little boy is pretty excited.
Thanks for asking!
Awwwww - I am sorry you were so worried - I can only imagine! I have a friend who was diagnosed with cervical cancer while PG and it weighed very heavily on her --- everything turned out great for Mum & Baby though!! I am so happy that yours is just irritated ... maybe it needs some relaxing time with your feet up as you watch some junk TV and enjoy yourself!! YEAH that he is excited - congrats to you on an upcoming lil guy! Rest and be well!! HUGS HUGS HUGS


Sun - what a CUTE jacket!!!! I would have loved to find one of those!!! Great find!!

She just mixes vinegar in warm water and mops her floors. No steamer. Hers is an older home, with original oak floors, that have been varnished (I guess). I dunno, but I think vinegar cleans just about anything. I run it through my coffee maker to keep it clean too.

My great day of Targeting. Spent the early morning organizing q's, printing maps, etc etc. Got in the car for a Target road trip. One hour into it, I realized I left all my q's at home Annoyed I'll shoot for another day.

I was in a very far away place this week for work and very sick. Left the hotel to run to a Target to get some tissues and tylenol. Get in the parking lot, lock car and realize q's are back at hotel. That sucked.

Busy busy here with work and DS. He's OK, depends on day. He's having lots of fun with his classes and being outside. It's going to stink when it gets too cold out. He loves diving into the leaves!

If anyone got an extra wiifit plus (just the game) and wants to do a trade of some sort, PM me. I didn't have much targeting time this week but picked up a few wii games, that was one of the ones we wanted but they didn't have.

I was thinking of contacting the company, but sicne you aren't supposed to sell them, maybe I will say I just want to check if the person I gave them to used them...

I got a bunch of super cute costumes, a bunch of cocktail napkins (I actually left about 20 packs because I just didn't need so many!) and a bunch of clothing at 90% off. Our store which usually has NOTHING left had much more than I would have expected, but the sign only said 75% off... Plus I got 6 Wii games, some secret, and some chips and preztels (DH's request, w/o coupons!) all for about $50 and I a bummed because I forgot one Wii coupon! Boo to me!

OMG! That is tooooo cute! My 2 year old can were XXS or XS in somethings too!

Went to T for the 1st time in a long time! Left very happy! Found some great soap and glory items for 75% off. The Halloween was 90% off but no candy in site lots of clothes though, got DD .49 and .59 shirts for next year.

Then I went to CVS and found a new store I am in love with the cashier wanted me to open the glade to use the coupons, I told her I already had "better" coupons but told her I appreciated the gesture. She told me, her store and she were all about saving money!!!!

Thanks...how long is the seasonal TPC. Through Xmas, I assume? Annoyed


Awesome, thanks for pointing that out!
I remember from last year that they would put the Wisp/whatnot on sale for a week or so and then it would revert back to regular price. And I always had to check every store, 'cause not all of them had it on TPC. Weird Target pricing.

In most of my stores, the endcap right next to the Glade endcap has the seasonal Glade and Febreze candles, with some reed diffusers thrown in. That's where I've found them, not in the regular aisle.

That totally suckaroos. (I sound like Andy from The Office!! EEK!) I went to Target this afternoon and realized once I got there that I had forgotten all the coupons I'd harvested from the candles I'd put in the yard sale!! :duh: Ended up being a major BUG run. Is anyone else mathematically challenged when it comes to these things? I so blew it majorly, have to return some things tomorrow. Oh well.

Speaking of which, if I have them do it by credit card lookup, does that show my coupons or not? I'm not too worried, 'cause my OOP was way high, so it won't be suspicious, I just want to avoid any questions.

And ... my yard sale was beyond expectations. THANK YOU to everyone for your well wishes and prayers - God is truly awesome. Big Grin My husband kept telling me "Don't count the money!" so it was a complete surprise at the end. $480!!! That was having a sale from 7:30 until noon. Huge sellers were the Airwick I-Motions (large ones), toothpaste, deodorant, and Glade. But not just any Glade - I sold out completely of the plug-ins and aerosol cans (free after triple coupons with .75/2MFQ). Surprisingly, the ash-tray holders moved very slowly priced at $1/ea. I didn't sell a SINGLE tin. The jar candles moved slowly at $1/ea. Thankfully the refills did pretty well at $1/ea. I priced them at that just to make it as easy as possible, since it was just hubby and me.

Just to give everyone an idea of what worked for me, in case you're going to resell also.
