also there are other great overages to be had at wm!!!
The handivac is also 2.50 cheaper...so it's a profit after the rebate.
i'm not a big fan of wm anymore but it does serve it's purpose. I also find the cashier's are more apathetic.

Even though I've been on this board for a long time, I still don't feel as though I "belong." Over a year with another screenname (didn't know I could just transfer things so I made a new account), and since Nov. with this one. The whole rep thing also has me baffled. Some people have hundreds while other people who post often have very few. I never really understood why we needed reps anyway.
On a deals related note, I set up a mini store today during Easter lunch for my family with all the stuff I got for free or nearly nothing at Target & CVS and had them all "shop." They thought it was awesome, and I got rid of a bunch of stuff! Hope everyone had a great Easter. I'm off for the week, so maybe I can get some Target shopping in!
While I can't speak for everyone here, I can speak for myself. Sometimes when I post deals I get 20 PM's asking about all the details. Now that's fine to do, but some of us (including me) don't know who we are talking to in internet-land. So when I see a PM from a person who just joined SD in the past month, and who hasn't posted hardly at all (the # of posts under your avatar), I wonder who this person is, and are they the Red Shirts trying to give me a hard time (or worse)?
Recently I posted on the board about getting some Bounty paper towels and you would have thought I was telling people how to get a free Lexus from all the PM's I received. So no, I didn't reply to 99% of them (I just don't have the time, and I don't know who the people are). I'm confortable with PM'ing with people that 1) I've talked with and have a trusting relationship with, or 2) I've seen post A LOT in this Target thread. See, that way it's pretty safe for me to assume that you aren't out to give me trouble.
KWIM????
I work 50+ hours a week and have a little one. What I usually do is write down the page number I left off at and then just start there when I have time to log on again. Takes me 10 min to catch up and at least I'm not asking the same thing over and over and over again.
I may try the softsoap today, I'll be bummed if I missed out on the GC deal just because I wasn't at the right store. It happens. I wouldn't mind an easter bob the builder pack at 50% off either.
I HATE THAT.
Yay!!! I am so happy you are finding some good stores lately. I know you have to drive a bit, but at least you can still find some stores to take those nice q's!!!!!
It was nice to finally have a decent one.
however did not try using more than one of any TQ or ETQ
had a great jedi cashier
the bounty hang tags (that were found about a week and a half ago on dawn products) showed up on my reciept as a mfg q... errr.. idk i tried to use a bounty q from P&G.. but it beep and was k1ed
also im not sure what version or where exactly i got it.. but the silk $2 off w/ no experation scanned in the bed scanner... i was shocked as i was just about tell him to type it in...
over all a very good run
I guess I will go back there tomorrow since I don't have any ETQs to use.
Easter dresses at Cooper were 50% on Sat so by now they are probably all gone.

Basically it works if you were to just get on SD, THEN hit "view first unread."
Confused?
Don't be afraid to ask
Good to see you over here..it's a totally different game than the one from from the dark side.
Here are some hints for the newbies (and anyone else who wants them). These are things the I do:
1. When you read the thread and find a coupon attached (or a link to one) immediately save it (or the link) to your hard drive. Then you shouldn't have a problem finding it later.
2. If you find a good deal in a post, write down the post number and page number (it will make it a lot easier to find it again later if you want). Also write down on paper all the details of that deal.
3. Try to pay attention to who the people are that are posting most of the deals, they often are the ones that are happy to answer additional questions about deals.
4. Most important rule ----- catch up on this thread EVERY DAY (even when your spouse is in bed at 9:46 PM and you still have 14 pages of "Target" to catch up on). If you don't tomorrow when you wake up you will find yourself in a deeper hole (with up to 25 pages of stuff to read).
HTH.

i think it has to do with our computer settings

I changed my screenname because I didn't want certain people in my area that work at Target to know which coupons I was using or which deals I was getting. I just felt it was better to have that anonymity. I'm not even sure they read these boards, but there have been too many things that happened to think it's just coincidence.
I too, find it frustrating when someone comes on with a new account and asks about a certain deal that has just been talked about in the last few pages. If it's been awhile since it's been talked about, I give them the benefit of the doubt. There are times when I skim the posts because it doesn't pertain to me, then later wish I had paid better attention. ie the diaper deals before Christmas. I have no need for diapers, but we decided that all the teachers at school would buy diapers for a Mother's of Unborn Babies Shelter. Had I paid attention I could have gotten a TON of nearly free diapers. It was too difficult to go through to read all the posts about diapers, but I didn't feel comfortable asking about the diaper deal. I just got a decent deal on 2 packs using a few coupons I found. Sometimes I just think people feel intimidated to post things here because it's such a close knit group of people.
When you figure out how to get that free Lexus, will you PM me the details?? I just kicked another piece of my vrusty van off when I kicked off a snow chunk!

As far as the dollar amount goes, I'm not sure if there is one here, but with only being allowed to use 5 q's without approval, it's hard to tell. I used 2 $10 q's and a 3 others one time, and they all went through.
Also, if the coupon is more than the amount of the item, it beeps here too. I bought 5 of the trial size degree deod's. the other day, and they all beeped and had to be manually entered.
