Nobody responded to my post yesterday Crying2 but good news is I found my gc and license. WOOHOO! I hadn't told my DH that I lost them. He's police and would have lectured me about driving!! I was more concerned about the GC. It had my recent purchases and wanted to keep it so that I could do any returns easily, if needed. Now I can!!
Glad you found it!!! Groupwave

By the way totally not T related but that's why we're here right? I found the Campbell's Stock Pot soup at WM for $2.98. The $4 Q worked nicely for $1.02 overage.

I have a question about returns. I got my son the Little Leap Grow-with-Me Learning System for $7.XX at Target for his birthday. My older son came back from great-grandmas tonight and brought baby sons birthday present and she bought the same thing!

My husbands cousin would always return his kids gifts that she bought and keep the money, so she cuts off the UPCs or blacks them out with sharpie. She blacked this one out. Can I return the one I bought at Target to Walmart (where I know she bought hers?). I know she paid full price for it, and I would rather keep the one I got super cheap and return hers so I can get him this Elmo chair at WM. Will the target one scan at WM? I am not trying to pull a fast one, I just want to return the higher priced of the two.

I actually can't help, I would guess yes for the return, but WHYYYY would she black out the upc on any gift she gives? That doesn't make sense. Maybe take off the tag so you don't see the price, but black out the upc's?? What am I missing?

I don't see why not. As long as the UPC's are the same and you haven't used up your returns without a receipt at WM.

I've actually seen returns at Target where the price on items has been blacked out with permanent marker. DOn't see why they wouldn't take this one back.

Awhile ago someone posted about Albertsons clearancing Huggies ( everything ) and pampers ( certain sizes ) for around 50 % to 75% off ...

WELL IF YOU LIVE IN SPOKANE PM ME , I found an Albertsons that has huggies MEGA pack for 5 $ and the clean team items for .75 EEK! EEK! EEK!

Weird part is , I live in a upscale area of town and NO clearance baby items... but the Albertsons by our business is in more of an industrial area and TONS OF CLEARANCE throughtout the store


Does that happen w. the target stores.... do you find in lower income areas more clearance that in the burbs ????

In reply to my being SNIPPY lately..

I started Targetting last March after reading since the Nov before for BF deals. I have NEVER had issues NOR have I heard about all these limits on Qs or ETQs being shut down all together. But I have seen SO many newbies (no offense to ALL of you) that started when the Toy Qs from 07 came out doing these HUGE red flag runs. Tons and tons of Toy ETQs. Now, ETQs are going away. When for 11 months, I know I personally had NO troubles at all.

I would much rather have 50 decent runs over a long period of time than 10-12 HUGE runs over a few weeks and have it send flags up. I have made friends with my GSTLs so I hear stories. Now, I do have big runs (or what some would call Big) but I also have a family of 6 and 1 dog and 5 cats. So buying 5 gallons of milk is NOTHING! 4 loaves of bread? 20 gatorade? That right there wont even last 1 wk in my house! Toys, buy in moderation. I have also stopped doing the $10 Toy ETQ (from what I have been told, the $10 Qs send up BIG flags!) so I stopped and use the $5 instead.. which some can still give overage. Same for spicy, stopped that awhile ago as an $8 "store coupon" is definitely going to have ppl take notice.

I do use ETQs but as I have said... when I first started, the GSTL questioned them. Took them to the LOD who sat with the AP guy and came out 7-8 min later, okayed ALL my Qs and said as long as they scan, they will take them but they will not manually enter them.

I just know lately I see so MANY HUGE HUGE runs (oh, not to be holier than thou, I have done that in the past before I really thought about it!) and now all these ETQs I have been able to use for a year are going away.

Go ahead, flame away... all most of us are trying to say is MODERATION!
