Hi MamaRo! hug wave

Happy Mother's Day Ladies!!
Use the $5 SB coupon for the toilet refills. $1+ in overages.

$5 Zantac on the $3.98 Cool Mint Zantac gives you a $1.02 overage (if you have any of those q's left after wags last week)

If you have any of the ky coupons left, I think you can get overage on those either by the smallest size in the regular section or the travel size if your store has it and the coupons specifies any.

They have a pack of kotex liners priced at $1 - so free with $1 q.

I've used all the Qs mentioned above for overage @ WM. I also got the full $10 for the Glucerna. There is a printable Malt-o-Meal Cereal for $1.50, and they have small (7-10 oz.) boxes in a special display for only $1.00. That works well. If you were able to print a few of those $3 Scott bath tissue a few weeks ago, those give overage. I believe the 4-pack of TP is $2.68 at my store. Clean-n-Clear $2 Q also for the trial size gives overage.

I've only went through the cahier lanes with a stack of Qs a few times there. Both times I had a younger male, so that's who I plan to look for next time I use my overage Qs there. I've been spending so much time at the SCO (with $20 Q limit), that I've neglected the other stuff I have Qs for there. I must get there soon and give it a try.

nod Oh yah! And I heart the Changs spicy chicken!

On a side note, do you guys get nervous at the WM SCO using so many coupons and getting your totals so low? Do you all have the ladies who watch the transaction on their screens? (What do they see there I always wonder). I guess I'm freaked out a little cause I used a certain coupon there once and an employee came and stood next to the lane like she was waiting. I was freaking out. Had planned on using more q's but didn't. In the end she just restocked the bags but it made me wonder if she recognized the q I used somehow and came over purposely? Or maybe it's just paranoia. laugh out loud

IIRC, most have reported that they are usually in stores that have a trial/travel size aisle as opposed to just a trial size section. That's true for me as well... One store has the trial size in little bins under the length of the pharmacy counter. It's long... but short... and recessed... and no Durex. Down The other store has one whole side of an aisle near the pharmacy/HBA area filled with little bins of trial size. The Durex are in one of the bottom bins. They're little black boxes and easy to miss.

This was me today! Total paranoia! I used one CWS and 2 Dove $3.50 and I seriously was shaking from nervousness! I was thinking that the lady watching over the SCO was wondering how I had such good coupons for the items I was buying! I would like some other people to input about their feelings on this as well!

OMG, you are right on with PF Changs! The spicy chicken is my favorite, and I had it tonight! We also got the Mongolian Beef, and it was great. I love that place.

About WMCSO (I was there after dinner tonight...LOL!), I am only nervous now when trying something that I haven't before. Like the other night I used my first $5 CWS. All went fine then, and tonight was just a few things I needed plus some more Snuggle for my laundry stock. I'm not sure what exactly is on the cashier's screen. I believe they can probably monitor your transaction somehow. Mine have never acted like they were watching the screen though. And none have ever paid attention to my coupons, unless one doesn't work and they are summoned. I do wonder though, how many Qs are in there each day. Like I said before, I don't ever see anyone in this area uses coupons, but I sure hope mine are not the only ones in there.

Looks like I'll be back there tomorrow, as I forgot to get Rice Pilaf, and I wanted to have that with my Cordon Bleu Chicken tomorrow. And I have more 11111s to use up. Smilie I'm addicted...LOL! WAGS is across the street, so I may have to go cash in my RR and get my last free Gillette 2n1.

I feel the same at the SCO at our local supermarket sometimes. When one of my Q's would not work, the manager told me, oh these machines are keyed in so tightly they know what Q's are allowable, she looked at my Q briefly and overrode, so I get the feeling they are not worried about Q being misused because of the code being well done in their machines. I love when they let the teenage boys run SCO, which they do ALOT.

I am going to try out wally this week, my Targets have been so uptight with totally acceptable Q's lately I just need a change.

I haven't been targeting long enough to know...but I'm wondering if this is all just a phase?? They've poured all of this money into this huge half-assed up-date so the manager's are gonna push the cashier's for a while to really scrutinize q's...and after awhile...they'll slowly stop caring. lol 99% of my employees are under the age of 18 and they are really great at pushing policies and procedures for a month or so....and then they just seem to forget!! we have this stupid program where if a guest isn't asked for their loyalty card they get a free pass. When my management staff pushes and enforces it the employee's do awesome, when they don't care....the employee's don't care. Don't get me wrong we have some stellar employee's that have it burned into their little heads...but I know that I personally even as a manager let "new" policies slide a little b/c we are constantly bombarded with different promotions, policies, upselling, etc... that we're supposed to do!!

I mean a couple of months ago when i joined this thread...it was etq this, etq that....then tq this tq that...now it's mfq this and mfq that...lol you get the point. I personally think their update is addressing ALL of the wrong issues (to them, not to us lol)....ok so they have limited the tq's and etq's....let's look at the pepsi deal this week.

4/11... you use 3 of the $3/3 and 2 $1/2...you just got free pepsi....sounds like a much better deal than using 4 $1.00 etq's....lol

hehe ok i'm done with my little tangent now.

Yesterday I got ballsy and used 4 CWS and let me tell you, I was sweatin bullets the whole time!!! I only had those 4 items, and a small tub of Country crock butter. (which btw, the $1 mq for the Country Crock side dishes, works great on) and I was trying to scan those q's and get them in that slot as fast as I could! Walked out with 3 packs of charmin, 1 pack of bounty, and a tub of country crock for $3.92! Gotta heart P&G and SCO!!!
