Here is my suggestion of how to organize the WIKI info. I have put in a lot of thought on how to make it user friendly for everyone. I would have had this done weeks ago if I hadn't had 2 (yes 2) deaths in the family in the past couple of weeks.
Please post your comments/concerns. What info can be deleted? What don't you like? What do you like? Any info that isn't there that you would like to see there?
Of course this is just an outline. All the actual info will be in the place of the bullet points if you guys like it and want me to work on it.
Thank you to all who have been updating the deals!
A. ADS

I was thinking maybe for the first post, it could be something simple welcoming newbies. It would say welcome to the Target deals thread, read the wiki for deals and other important information etc etc. And maybe also the outline for what's in the wiki, so if people want coupons they would see that they look for "C." in the wiki. Then to get to the deals, you don't have to scroll all the way down past a really long first post or past all the "extra" info at the top of the wiki.
That's just my .02 anyways.
MommieMara, you've done a great job with the wiki. You've really helped to get the ball rolling and getting everyone talking about making a newer and better wiki. This is a public forum and it shouldn't be all on one person's shoulders to make everyone happy. So please don't take the criticisms personally. All the time and thought you put into it are much appreciated.
For the record, I wasn't upset with you, personally, Mara
I just came back from the SuperTarget at 135th and State Line. I was told that this store is now limiting us to 10 Target/SuperTarget web coupons. No limit on MFGs, but only 10 of their own web coupons. I think this is outrageous. The woman (Melissa) told me it's because people are using way too many coupons, doubling up (more than one TQ for the same item), and using large stacks of coupons. It's my point of view that we're being punished because the cashiers can't keep track of what's been purchased, or because Target's own system of coupon redemption is sadly outdated. If they're going to put the coupons out there for our use, then we should be able to USE them.
And they are so isolated out there, they really can't afford to drive off customers that make the extra drive to get there.
But do you think maybe the reason you are seeing a crack down on coupons is because you pin point your exact store and put it out there for all
just my .02
and another reason not to give my location in my profile

But, I shall take your warning to heart, and in the future let people PM me if they need to know which store I'm talking about.

I noticed after reporting some of those listings for the Target Toy Coupon, there's been several removed. Hehehehe!

Way to go!!! Thanks!
Just make sure you stock up on all that stuff, like plates and cups - you'll be healing, and spending time getting to know your baby, so you don't need to spend any extra time in the kitchen than you have to! And stock up on foods you can make real simple meals out of! (And have your hubby collect local takeout menus for you - takeout was our best friend for a few weeks, and the menus my hubby had collected really came in handy!)
And if you're feeling up to it now, it's always a good idea to make a few dinners/casseroles to freeze so you can just pop them in the oven (you'll be too tired to cook!)
Just plan everything to make it as easy on yourself as possible. And with the relatives, don't be afraid to ask them for help! That's what they're there for! If they want to help you and the baby, they won't have a problem washing some dishes or folding some laundry. It's all about you and the baby.
Oh, and the one thing I always tell my fellow new mommies: (because no one told me and I wish they had!) You will still look very pregnant for several weeks after the baby comes. I was not prepared for that, and it freaked me out!
But just relax and take it easy on yourself. The calmer you feel, the calmer everyone else will be, too.
You'll be fine - it's SO exciting!
Congratulations, and if you need anything, we'll always be here!

Thanks for the advice. It looks like I need to revise my plans and take into account all the things I really didn't think about. My only problem is that I can't go shopping often and I only have a couple of weeks left before the baby arrives. I've had a high risk pregnancy so the hubby doesn't like me going out by myself and since everyone else's working I have to wait unil someone can go with me, mostly my mom.
I kind figured it would take me some time to get back to my regular shape. As it is I feel like an aircraft carrier.
I am really not sure how it is going to work out with the relatives. They are coming from abroad and are used to a completely different life style. More of a posh life that we are used to here in the States.

Here's my .02. If relatives are coming to visit, make sure they know you will not wait on them. This is a special time for you, and you do not need to be running around playing hostess. I would inform them that you have stocked the kitchen and would appreciate if they help themselves to what ever it is they need. If you don't have it stocked, you can give directions to the nearest store for them. This is the one time in your life where it really is all about you and the baby. Good Luck!
