Anyone have any tips for weaning a baby (not a kitten) off the bottle? We had successful weaning for all my 14mo bottles except first morning and the bedtime one. When we try to modify the routine for those two, he has an absolute cow "why are you presenting my milk to me this way, that's not the way I drink it", at least that's what he's implying with is cries and arching his body tantrums. He's generally a good kid but I've tried everything I read and it's not working. He loves drinking from straws, put a straw in the bottle, no luck. Put it in his favorite cup, no luck. Put milk in cup during day, fine but otherwise, no way.
Listen to the wisdom of Pavlov on this one...don't give in and give the bottle he will only continue to have a "cow" until you give him what he wants. Give him his sippy and be on your merry way. Let him fuss and throw a fit. Once he sees that he is not getting a reaction from you then he has to figure it out on his own. Conditioning my dear friend! Kids are wonderful at it!

If anyone has any extra Reynolds handi-vac coupons let me know - maybe I have something I can trade for it? Please

I have found NO peelies - only 1 lonely coupon in the paper a couple of weeks ago. Mad
I have found tons of the $3 peelies at Spartan stores (like Family Fares and D&W). Not sure if they are on your side of the state. If not, let me know and I can send them to you.

Quote from FrozENFyRe :
So now that Im pretty sure using expired coupons ISNT illegal, how about returning items, and receiving more money in the form of cash/giftcard then you used to purchase the items? Like AC $10 out the door, but the return would get you $80-90 worth? Is this considered "return fraud"?

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
Oh my goodness, I feel like I return to much! I am the return queen according to my Husband sometimes, but never for $80 when I only paid $10. That is extremely rare in itself! laugh out loud You must be doing some pretty good couponing, I don't use the ETQ for toys however. My returns might have had coupons or be within $5 more then what was really paid (as high as $15 once), due to store coupons or overage. I would be to afraid to return for that much cash. Also my Target's do deduct for Target coupons used unless of course they did not attach to the item and are at the bottom of the receipt. When I return it is because the product didn't work out, I changed my mind, the person doesn't want it, or it is defective, not to try to collect for coupon value. I pay with cash or GC's as well, and I thought the approval message only came up when using your credit card. I guess if you are asking for that much cash and have a lot of coupons that will raise a flag. I think I need to tone my returns down, I have to much buyers remorse sometimes and they probably remember me. I figure I have a receipt that shows what I paid, so I usually don't worry unless like you said you are asking for more money than the receipt shows.

Yes, way to much OT in the reg thread. Usually I check the thread in the morning, and a couple times I wait until after work-big mistake, by then there is a gazillion pages to catch up on. By the time you're done catching up, I don't even feel like going to T. laugh out loud

So I went to CVS yesterday (sorry for the unmentionable store) and the beauty manager was ringing me up, well I had an IP q and she asked me where I get those q's from, so I told her a few of the sites. She proceeds to tell me that there was a lady in the store yesterday with 3 printed pantene q's with the top cut offEEK!

The q's did not scan the manager wouldn't accept them.

1. I wonder which SD'er this might have beenlaugh out loud

2. Why would you cut of the top of there own q?

3. What is this world coming too?

I agree. I try to refrain from the OT, but sometimes you just can't help yourself. It's the conversations that go on for a page of nothing that get me. It is hard to keep up with. Although I must say....it's been a breeze so far this week compared to last week!!!
