Here's another couple of places to check..

Bricks coupon master list:
http://www.couponsinc.com/corp/so...ntlist.asp

A coupon database is available at www.Families.com once you've registered there. Good resource for checking availability & location of coupons for specific items you're interested in.

Maybe something to add to the wiki? It looks SO great, don't want to step on anyone's toes by adding it in, but it might be helpful.
Nice.

Here's a direct link to the coupon database on www.families.com:

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).

That's good advise and I thank you...and I'm sure they person I was replying to would also. They're a CVS regular and have recently started targeting. I was trying to make her feel welcome as so many people read this board, but are afraid to post because they get the head handed to them on a platter for asking a question.

This thread moves very fast and has great information in it. I'm sure the newbies will appreciate what you just wrote out.

I thank everyone that has helped me along the way. heart nod

Great tips! For #2 I click on the post number, then it comes up as a separate page. Then I put it into an email and send it to myself with whatever the subject is. I never seem to have a paper or pencil handy, and I can go back to that specific post later when I have more time.

Just remember everybody, I don't think that it's the store that's the problem, it's the cashiers. I always go to a certain cashier who I think is worried that I'm trolling him!laugh out loud Reality is, he doesn't even look at the coupon unless it beeps, and when it does, he just K1's. Honestly, I went through a different cashier once. She scrutinized every coupon I had. Now I just go back to him...even if he does get a nervous look(EEK! ) on his face everytime I'm comin' through!Whip

I would prefer going to the same cashier with whom I have had success before but sometimes I am worried that my usage of coupons might get him/her into trouble. My worries led me to my trouble todayMad Mad Mad Mad

Again, my same thoughts on that one. I went to the same young male cashier twice this week, and he said "wait a minute, weren't you just here the other day?" Teehee I was like, yeah, I am here like everyday. Then I told him sarcastically that I might as well just get a job at T, and he replied "oooohh, no, you don't want that." Coverlaugh

Forum moving right along tonight........

*SNIP* She was looking over every coupon like it was a huge test- got to the durex- WOW (I used or tried)- 4 of the $5 ones and 6 of the $2 ones) she was having a fit with the fact that they were only $1 and these coupons were just too much. She calls over the LOD- she then says well you can't "make money" on a coupon. I just said well it says any durex so this would apply. I then just said you know what- just take off the condoms and I will take back my coupons. She then says - well they are about to expire you don't even need them back do you? I said how about you let me decide when I will be back and when I will use my coupons before they expire. She then says well I will just adjust them so they are free but you wont "make any money on them" So then we are done with that- missing some serious money in overages. She finally said well just let her pay and get out of here..........
Not happy and already emailed TArget about it!! UGH!!! *SNIP* ....
Good for you. That soo stinks! Whip that cashier..booo hisss on them.

I do something similar...copy it into my email so they are all right together until i get to work & then print it there along with my list.

I had a cashier tell me last week.."you always come through my line" EEK! I was thinking " No shyt Sherlock, I will always come through your line" Smilie She is nice and scans everything without looking.
I used to be that way.. there was 1 great cashier, always went to her.. now I have 5 jedis to choose from.. maybe 6.. would have to count! But I like mixing it up! Thankfully their schedules arent the same so even if I go every Tuesday, I most likely get a different cashier each time!

Beware of buying the IP coupons on fleabay.. I bought 40 of the Bertolli from the same guy and all of them were copies.. No unique codes. Won't scan and no one will take them. Tried Target and Safeway.. all denied. That's when I took a closer look and seen that they were copies. Mad
I aksed for my money back and told him that was fraud. Bascially told me to bad so sad.
Haven't followed up with it through paypal as of yet.
But that pissed me off royally... other people had bought them as well and I didn't see any negative feedback.. I haven't left any feedback for him yet, as I was trying to be nice and get my money back first...
Report the seller to Ebay and file a dispute with paypal immediately.

Report the listing on Ebay as selling copied coupons. Then go through and report any other listings he has for IP coupons. Conrinuous violations of the rules will get him kicked off Ebay (not that it will stop him form signing up again, but at least you'll feel better, lol)

With Paypal, you should get your money back because paypal almost always sides with the buyer.

That happened to me a while ago. I went to one casher and she couldn't K1 things fast enough. A few trips later I went through her line again and she checked the date on EVERY q I had. I played dumb and said "Oh, I thought you took the Target q's as long as they scanned?" She said "so did I, but I got in trouble for taking them so now I check the dates on them". Sooo, now I limit my etq's to the "important" ones and only slip a few in the pile.

Quote from Pretzels :

Uggg. I totally forgot about the $1 ETQ for Oreos and just used the current Nabisco one. Oh well, I only got 2 bags of Oreos and 12 bags of Teddy Grahams. Oreos are too much of a temptation for me!!
Is anyone actually finding the Durex play "toys" or just the condoms? The only time I ever used the $5 coupon, the young, male cashier questioned whether or not I got them. I just said ya, that's the condoms, and he K-1ed them, but I was surprised!
I thought about hiding some Easter stuff (like the Dora basket), but decided it really wasnt that deep!! My almost 2 year old is obsessed with Dora (and Elmo), but who knows if she will be next Easter!
DH bought both the Dora & Elmo for DD and Transformers for DS...they are both going back since my parents bought the same thing & stuffed theirs really nice. laugh out loud

Are you going to try these on the shampoos? If so, let us know how they work. Decoded, they are for the styling products (trial size hair spray was listed though Cool ). I didn't see anything about the shampoos.

Just bat your eyelashes at him and he will hush up!

I've done two trips to the exact same girl within 20 minutes if she turns out to be a jedi on the first run. Smilie

I try to give them a little "small talk", or "attention" and they scan away!!!! LOL!!!! They probably think that I'm flirting with them (I'm not honey - incase my wife reads this), I do just want them for their K1 finger, that's all!!!!
