I ask this because im beginning to get paranoid regarding coupon usage and returning. I was returning some toys at target the other day, and of course the message came up after 2 toys were scanned "Call for approval code". In the beginning, I assumed this came up when a large quantity of the same item started being returned in a short period of time throughout the various targets. After a while, I came to a pretty safe conclusion that the message also appears when you return an item that actually costs MORE than you paid AFTER coupons. Now im thinking it comes up after the 2nd item returned. Moving foward - so the message came up, and I dont know why I just didnt say "nevermind, just return the two toys, ill keep the rest". Anyhow she was on hold, and she asked me if the coupons were on the toys and of course I said no, and that was the end of that. Then another target employee walked by the desk, and said "oh the coupon thing". Then while she was talking to the rep on the phone, she said "yes theres coupons on it, but it doesnt say, just says "store coupon" $5, $10, $8, etc". I wasnt worried about this part. Eventually she said "Hes in the CAMERA room". To this moment, I still can't figure out if that was a bad indication or not. The other weird thing is I paid with Cash, but the lady said she was going to give me about half in cash, and half in giftcard. Strange as well. Can they rig the giftcard serial number and track wehre I use it? Isn't that a little far fetched Hah. My GC must be tainted and I must sell it! or Get rid of it!
In any case, this was a target FAR away from my home. I'm wondering if one Target communicates with the other and if they look at the surveilance tapes of the certain target I shopped at. Im pretty sure that they have the location of where I purchased the items (I purchased them at a different target nearby) so would they go through all the trouble to catch "the coupon bandit"?
*Sigh*
Anyhow im going back to target... near home. See what happens. Someone said stay away from the $10 ETQs since they are bait for Target. So I'mma try not to. Thanks
OTHERWISE doing things likes returning things you pais $10 OOP for and getting $80 back i pretty much a bad plan. IF I ever have to return, I use the gift receipt, then just get a giftcard---but only done this once in recent memory and it was just a $16 swimsuit set for DS....otherwise this MAY get you in trouble...

If my total is low, but not that low and it's necessary then I would return something.
I also saw hugies diapers, and Pampers and Huggies pull ups for 4.74 a package, with a 2.00 q that would be a nice deal!.
A bunch of beechnut baby food marked down too
a really off topic ? for you
My little guy is 13 mo old, and has been having some really hard bowel movements lately. He starts grutning and crying, and I know what is coming. Well yesterday he had a big hard one and I think it stretched things a little too far and he was bleeding a little.
Any remedies for getting looser stools? I got prunes and blueberry baby food, as he does still like them, but LOVES table food. He doesnt drink juice. The only other thing I could think of was adding some fibersure powder to his food/milk. The Dr did say before to do Miralax, but I dont want him on laxative stuff if you know what I mean.
Thanks

Once either one does work, the directions state to to decrease the Karo (1 tsp per 8 oz), then 1 tsp twice a day in liquid, down to 1 tsp once a day.
Found $1 peelies for Aquaphor on the Aquaphor canisters in the lotion isle.
I have 5 of them - who wants them?

i always hated doing returns before i ever couponed anyway, just because i work in retail and know what a pita it is. also, even if you do have your receipts every time - it is still viewed as suspicious if the same person is consistently bringing stuff back. employees will notice and you will be 'watched' regardless if there is anything 'in the computer' about you or not, or whether you are doing anything or not.
for example, when i managed cosmetics a few years back, i actually banned a lady from purchasing any of my expensive (i'm talking retail $20+ each piece) jewelry because she kept returning it a couple days later. i had to tell her, you know, you've done this x number of times, you never keep any of the jewelry you buy here. so i'm not going to open my locked cabinet for you anymore - because i have to defect out your purchases every time you have an impulse buy. (we didn't get vendor credit for those items, we were losing a LOT of money due to her.
i did feel rather bad because she actually was a nice lady for the most part. but she had some life issues going on and she had a problem controlling her credit card expenditures (which i think was the main reason why she'd buy and return, buy and return, etc.) the bottom line though was my store should not have to take a hit because of a customer's personal problems and that was why i eventually had to put my foot down and tell her no.
at least after that chat, which surprisingly went well with her, i never saw the lady again.

and worse, (stupid) people are actually buying them so i doubt they'll go lower here before they're gone.
