A little bit off topic, but im curious - Regarding the 06 ETQs, how does a Target store go about "prosecuting" the person abusing the coupons? Would they stop you on the next go around? Notify you by mail? Police at the door thing? Some poster had a Police story but the scenario was a bit different. Wondering if anyones heard of anything?
It's not illegal to use expired coupons UNLESS you are altering the coupon in some way. So you can't be held liable for using expired coupons if you present them as is and the store takes them. The only time you can get in trouble for using non-altered expired coupons is IF you are working in cahoots with some one on the inside (a cashier) to defraud the store.

Worse Case Scenario - they will refuse it in the future if none of the above are true (this is what my attorney friend told me and I'll sue his ass if he is wrong laugh out loud ).

However if you're altering coupons in any way (cutting off dates, changing dates, etc or working with someone from the inside you can get in big trouble).

When you use them on multiple sheets of paper, do they splay the paper or slice right through them without making all the edges different distances from your dotted lines? I'll totally drive the 20 miles to pick one up if they don't splay!
What I do is I STAPLE my Q's so this doesn't happen. Saw it on one of the U-tube videos and thought DUH!!! Why haven't I been doing that? Doh So much easier and keeps the Q's together and don't need paperclips!!! Now I have just to buy more staples, I'm out.

So, to answer your question, they will splay unless you staple them (which I do) and it works like a CHARM!!! King

In the spirit of some equal time for the guys. Cool

Wow! I was in Target today to pick up some, *ahem*, "GC generating items" and this thread kept running through my mind. As I was wandering through the Menswear department I happened to see a display of boxer-brief underpants (sorry, no Transformers in my size, so I couldn't use the ETQ from 06) and I was unexplicably intrigued... I have always been a "tighty-whitey" guy Blush (although I will wear grey ones if hard pressed & green on St. Patricks day) and I wondered if I had been missing something all these years - so I bought a package. I must say that these things are great! Whee The give me all the support my normal undershorts do, but without so much of that annoying chafing at the legholes that can happen when powerwalking through the wide open expanses of the Big "T" hunting down my littlest pony playsets & shampoo peelies. And guys, they are still roomy enough to let the "boys" breathe or accomodate a good scratching or two while crouching down to retrieve all the clearance goodies you have stashed under strategically placed merchandise!
Tonight, I even tried them out with the infamous "sock technique" as I cruised the Starbucks cafe in the local Super "T" - I must say I got quite a few "looks" from the ladies behind the counter as I saddled up to order my drink of choice. nod And - this is the best part - the extra bit of "leg length" on the boxer-briefs really holds the sock where you want it to be instead of just having it gravitate towards the middle like other shorts do. I will definitely be wasting some good coupons to buy more of these bad boys - I may even get a red or black pair! Thumbsup
...
Chit chat is really getting interesting this week, between Whee's OCD and Cartmans underwear, I've been LMAO and the morning's not over!

To add to worst case scenario you could also be banned from the store. I've read of posters using way to many q's or being caught using expired one to many times and they've been ask not to come back to that Target. hookedupstang was banned when people were going crazy over the free goldfish (his story is still linked in his sig, cops and all) but he was trying to buy like a whole cartload of fish, to give to the homless shelter or something of course, but still.

mmmmm boxer briefs. they are yummy

There have definitely been posters who have been asked to stay away from certain stores. I remember reading about them when I first joined SD and was reading everything I could.

That's when your bra decides to give you a little extra "b**b" strategically and unsightly placed just over the edge of that cute little push up bra. We've all see that girl haven't we?
*snip*
okay, am i reading this right to understand to understand that the floofy thing is also known as a "muffintop" where your b**b kind of gets pushed over the edge of the top of the bra? laugh out loud

if so then yes that's happened to me too (most often on the sides of a bra just in front of my armpits). these new bras i received don't do that. *whew*
