I went to WM SCO at lunch and had an awful time with coupons. It's so YMMV, it's how the individual stores set their registers. Ours beeped after 2 of the movie coupons. I had him take off the other 2 movies as I had to go back to work. It was just a PITA in general, I prefer to do the regular deals at Target. I'm done with WM SCO for good this time.
Did you fold the q's in half and scan the left side only?
I do something similar. I keep a 'temporary' word document that I go in and paste info into - deals I want to do, posts I want to look at again, links to coupons I want to print or register for, etc. Really makes it easy to keep track of what I'm doing.
Some CVS stores have a similar coupon.
Just leave it in your trunk like I do!
Were these coupons from the inserts or the ones from the CVS link?
Oh, and lately, a lot of the coupons have been scanned and showing the message "scan the left barcode." I don't recall the coupons being so sensitive in the past ,or maybe the cashiers are just scanning so quickly that they scan the wrong side...

Get a life troll....I did this ONCE when I joined slickdeals for reasonings you don't need to know and I have never sold coupons since. I changed my name on Ebay because I sell gift cards mostly and that was more intuitive to my sales. On here to try to get away from you trolls that have nothing better to do than research my name history. I wish I had the time you do.
lolu13 a troll?

Why are people paranoid, hummm could it be because there is dishonesty involved, say it ain't so
I'm trying to use them wisely, so my house doesn't look like a warehouse.
Has anyone seen Clean House? Whoa! That's freaky.

I have noticed the comp has been saying "scan the left side" as well. Never as much as before........
My 5 yr old DD just said- "Mom, are we out of tape? If so can you find some coupons for it so we can get some more?" ROTFL
I truly truly still can not believe how much money i am saving. Our computer chair broke and I actually had the money to go buy a new one....this rawks!!! lol
At Walmart the q's will ask if it is a valid amount...and I've never had a problem with any of the cashiers!!!
Gotta also say I so agree with the people just taking the stuff we get. Now, I love to unload it, share, etc, but there is one mom in particular who is always trying to get an offer of something. Even says she'll pay me $1 per item for the things she & her family can use that we have in excess. Of course, you and I know those items she's going to want to pay the $1 for each probably cost $3 - 5 at the store!
my popcorn q's did not come in inserts, I ordered them from ladybug after reading about it on here...they are the ones that took over a week to get here. no more ladybug for me. Something is fishy, I ordered on sunday the 16th and got an email monday saying they were shipped...not they did not arrive until YESTERDAY!!!! When I looked at the post date on the envelope it said 3/15 (a day before I even ordered)...so somethings not right, she must run a bunch of envelopes through to get the dates on and mail them whenever she wants.
I am just happy that I was able to use the $2 Handi-Vac coupons for the bags, since Walmart is cheaper than Target. Do I need to "buy" 10 starter kits, since the rebate limit is 10 per household?
I have issues...

Depends on what you're buying, and when. As you can tell, those who shop at Target don't necessarily limit ourselves to there alone. I love the thrill of the hunt, and getting the best deal. As a former shopaholic who could spend $400 in one day without blinking an eye, I can say that getting stuff for cheap, free, or even better, being paid to take it, is a far better high than just buying stuff because I like it. For me, sticking to one store alone wouldn't be enough.[/QUOTE]
I think it's amazing to get free/cheap stuff. After all these years of paying full retail.. it's so cool. I used to spend $200-300, everytime I step foot in T, now it's much less. Between T, WM, WG, CVS, Publix, Kroger & Sam's.. I have a FT job. My family isn't happy with the q's, though. My friends/neighbors would die if they knew.. I'm still a closet couponer. That's probably why I'm on SD so much.
