For all you mommas out there, when you brought your new baby home, what did you wish you'd received as gifts, instead of certain other things? i.e. What did you find most useful, and most necessary? My cousin's wife is pregnant (yeah, lovely timing. For anyone wondering, she's due a month and a half before I was, and they're having a little girl. *sigh*
I have some diapers and wipes already. Only one box of newborn 2's, and a box of 3's, but I plan on picking up more 3's for them, since as I understand it, that's the size that they stay at longest. What else? What'd you have to go out and buy, that nobody ever thought to give you?
blankets, alright. we used a lot of receiving blankets though. wished we had received more of:
teething gel
tylenol
gas drops
diapers/ wipes (we didn't get ANY as gifts!
gift cards (to buy formula as needed, because formula needs and expiration dates can't be known ahead of time.)
i liked the idea of prepared meals, that is very thoughtful.
knowing what i do now about new motherhood, i find it a lot easier to find baby shower gifts that most other people do not give. it makes the gift that much more appreciated, and you know it will be used.
If you have a coupon for $x/2 or $x/3 or whatever, as long as you buy at least 2 or 3 or whatever and use 1 of the coupons on EACH, they will not beep at Target. I have tested this on countless coupons on all different items and it never fails. I usually divide the coupons in two and put half of them in the top of the pile and half of them in the middle/end of the pile. This does not hold true for TQ, just MFQ.
I was actually even able to use the $1/2 general mills cereal today like this. I bought ten boxes of cereal and used ten coupons. And the kicker is that half of my cereal was Kelloggs. NONE OF THE COUPONS BEEPED.
So as far as the Lean Cuisine coupon $1.50/3. As long as you buy three of them and use three coupons, they should not beep.

I did "accidentally" throw an extra $ off 2 whatevers TQ in the other day, though, thinking this might be the case, but with the TQ it didn't fly. Has this been the case with u?

Yep, that happened to me today. I used over $50 in q's. I completely forgot about that one. It was ok, but it took time for the mgr. to come over.
Once, at Smiths (local Kroger affiliate) I did run into one of the other profs in my department. All I had in my cart was: one case of wine

Thanks for the laugh.
I learned this early on when during one of my first years teaching I had a student who worked at a local grocery store and he would entertain everyone with tales of what the principal/ asst. principal bought when they came through his line.
Sometimes I'm not too popular with some of my students/parents and I can imagine the negative spin they could put on my avid coupon use

Anyhow, just wanted to point out that with the $10 Shower cleaner in today's paper I was going to buy mine at Walgreen's but the one at Target has 2 sprayers instead of one. It is a newer one. I currently own the one with one sprayer and it works okay but I think the one with two up and down would work better. Just my .02. So, I bought one at T instead.
OT (Is there such a thing as OT in a Chit Chat thread?):
WTH is Stalkerville? Sounds like some Halloween movie location

Have had lots of students working in local bars/restaurants, so pretty much the same deal. Luckily it's so far just been ones who seem to like me.
