RETIRED: Target Chit Chat

i went to my t today and my cashier wasn't there...so i just got a few sb boxes and left..i hope he is there this weekend... I counted and I have 12 boxes of toilet scrubbers my first great target deal i have been working on! I wish I could print more clean and clear coupons...I love that stuff. at least we have a few cpus at work so I can print from different locations... better luck to you with the bad runs lately... im' off to bed. tomrrow i will figure out where those amp q's are..i searched and all that comes up when I do the ctrl "f" is "pAMPers"
oh yeah! lol! my 30 q's i used on my first big run seemed like soo many! luckily my cashier is my hero. I cant wait to plan out a huge run with him.

I feel the same way about the T closest to me. Last week, as soon as I start putting my stuff on the belt, the famous "red phone" rang! Guess what that means... Anyway, the girl was new and was nervous about the "instruction to carefully checking all the coupons from the coupon lady." Nothing beeped, as planned, but she kept asking ME, "I think you had these, right?" Of course, dear.

So, this week, I did 2 small runs in one day to test out the new cashiers, at different times of the day. I have been laying low with limited coupons, so for now, they are leaving me alone somewhat. We'll see how long that will last...

For a "small run" today, I had 30 qs total = 12 Joint Juice, 12 Sobe, 2 flameless, 4 Ziploc, & 4 Tropicana.

2nd small run, I had 35 qs = 12 Joint Juice, 4 Sobe, 4 Ziploc, 5 Goldfish, 4 Orville, & 3 Cracker crisp w/ 3 TQs.

OMG! I guess it's not so small once I actually count the coupons. I didn't even fill up 1/2 of the cart.

After I got home today, I got a phone call and on caller ID, it's from "TARGET STORE..." I don't have any prescription, no photo, and know no one there.

It was a new store that just opened and I think their new number is Target's OLD #.

I know whatcha mean...whenever DD is with me (13 yo) we head to the registers and walk by and then walk back and then head to a check out and then someone else steps in and then go to the accessories department and then she thinks she is getting a new purse and then I tell her no and then I see my opening and then I ditch my kid in the accessories and then I unload my cart like a crazy women and then, and then and then...does that make me

i saw the boxed versions at walmart priced at 12.xx and at winn-dixie for 11.97.....and i thought its so expensive....and kept thinking i will find it at target at a cheaper price....even postponed cleaning my tub bcoz i wanted the tub cleaner..)

So I got hurt at work last week and have been home trying to recover. They have me on painkillers and muscle relaxers which means I can't drive. Thus I am at the mercy of my hubby. Well I needed gas in my car, so tonight we went to the Costco, which happens to be right next to the Target. He asked if I wanted to stop in and I said no because I was in too much pain. That was his expression. He was like, I guess you really are hurt I told him that I wanted to check for juice, but that I wasn't sure that cheap juice was worth it

How bad is this? I was in Target last weekend for 2 hrs, and never got to the other side of the store!!! I never made it past H&B, Food, Paper, and cleaning supplies! Now that's bad!

I'm sorry you had a bad run!! Just get back out there and do a small run and you'll feel much better!!

Did you get your email?

Went to Wally SCO for the first time. CWS worked like a champ! But slap me around and call me Sally, my unit would not even recognize or scan the Tyson or the HP paper coupons! I use these both at T without a problem....any ideas on this??

Jen was this at the St. Chas Walmart? Do you think it needed approval, because of the amount of the coupons (being over $50 or something or a certain percent of the order) or because he had to enter a vendor coupon? I went to St. Chas Target tonight and the boy I got was looking over his shoulder when he scanned my coupons. Poor guy! I didn't have any coupons I shouldn't have except I used 3 of the Target Pepsi coupons for 3 Pepsi's (I guess really I only should have used one as I realized they were for $1 off 2 not 1). So the last two of the Pepsi's scanned and came up as quantity not met or something like that. He did k1 them however. Plus the $3 off Pepsi scanned item not found? This was k1'ed as well. This was the first time I used the coupon and I did have 3 Pepsi's. I wonder if this was meant only to be used on the cases?

Then I used the $3 off Pepsi one at wags and it wouldn't even scan there (I had five 12 packs of Pepsi), I was lucky she manually entered it there. Then for some reason my dumb printer that I was been moving from my old computer to my new computer freaked out on my second bricks $1 off glade coupon on the old computer. I think moving it from computer to computer is messing up the old computer for some reason. Anyway the printer did not print the $ amount of the coupon or the glade logo. You could see all the bar codes, the expiration date and that the coupon said glade.com What is strange is that I then tried to print the Pepsi coupon and the printer just kept shooting out blank pages. So I took the printer back up stairs to my newer computer to print the Pepsi coupon and it printed fine. I guess I really need another printer. I have an older deskjet (that does not print very good, Target coupons from this printer will not scan, but bricks will), but no start up disc, and the HP online drivers do not offer a version for windows 98 which this computer is.

So I made sure to cut the messed up coupon so the border that is around the coupon with the $ amount and date in small print still showed. I also had the first $1 off from the same computer that printed fine. Don't ask me why. Anyway I figured I would use both at the same time, and tell the lady it was the same coupon as the good one (different dot bar code of course, as it was my allowed second) and see if she would scan it. I told her if she can't that is fine, and she said well is the $ amount anywhere on it? I said yes in the small print surrounding the coupon. Of course she wore glasses and it is really hard to she without a magnifying glass practically, so she couldn't see it. I told her if she can't take it I understand and take the item off, because she was saying she hoped she didn't get in trouble for taking it. It did scan, but I felt really bad. I also hope the $3 off Pepsi one doesn't get her in trouble. I know everyone used this coupon many times, but was it meant was the cases of Pepsi? Plus it didn't even scan at wags. They must be really cracking the whip on coupons lately everywhere and I don't want to get anyone in trouble. The $3 off Pepsi was legit as far as I know as it was from an Internet grocery store ad, and the glade coupon was just my printer freaking out, as it was a completely legit coupon that they will be reimbursed for. I hope they get reimbursed for those $3 off coupons however!

Then to top it off my cws coupon bleeped the quantity message at Walmart even folded and only scanning the left side. That was at the Walmart by our favorite Target. It was like the scanner was so sensitive that it picked up the other side from the bottom even folded and with my finger on it. I guess I should have double folded. Well this time I got the message at this Walmart to set the coupon aside and continue. It did not freeze the screen right away. So I scanned all the rest of my coupons fine, and then tried that one again and it did the same thing. So I double folded it, and then it scanned. But when I went to pay it said my order needed approval of course. So the SCO lady came over and said well that is strange the message said quantity exceeded blah blah, lets have a look at that last coupon. She opened the box and I quickly grabbed my Airwick $4 off coupon and said I think that one was the problem, but it was the $5 off that was the problem. She looked at the receipt and said well those are $6, so I don't know why it would do that, so she approved it.

What did I do wrong with that coupon this time? I guess I need to double fold since the scanner is on the bottom and on the front, like an L. Now I wonder if this Walmart scanner is just smarter than the others, or it just caught the right side from the bottom somehow even with my finger over it. Since the message came up to begin with is this why I needed approval, even thought it scanned later on fine? I think this is the Walmart where I scanned the left side and got the bad message before, and then got confused and quickly scanned the right side (which is the wrong side to scan of course). I did not have this problem at the other Walmart with the same coupon a week or so ago (after the bad message scanning the left side at first at the other store prior to that).

Has anyone who had got that message and then scanned the coupon fine after that still had to have the SCO person approve the order? Or did the order go thought fine without needing approval once the coupons were scanned fine. The reason I ask is because I don't want to use the SCO at this store if even if the coupon scans at last it will still need approval. Maybe I should stick to the self checkout at the other store if I want to use that coupon!

Advice anyone please! Thanks for the help!

Did you ever figure out why Target was on your caller ID?

So WHO was on the phone? Did you figure it out???? Curious minds want to know!

Sorry, I didn't make it clear. It was a skin spa shop that just opened a few miles away from Target and their phone number is Target's old #. It sure freaked me out when they asked for my NAME directly. My answer was, "Uh, yesssss, who is this?" Sure sound like a moron on the phone, all hesitant and defensive.

Thank GOD it wasn't the Target Coupon Police.. .....

I KNOW I paid in cash too and my first thought was, "their new UPDATED system" now knows how to find ME.

ugh....I got the stupid tub cleaner from T....and i tried it one time and will never use it again. Maybe I'm just retarded but the pad that attaches kept falling off!!!! On the same note....I got the sb version of the mr. clean magic erasers and I'm in love!!!! I got a new vacuum yesterday and the sb erasers and went on like a 5 hour cleaning rampage...now I won't have to clean for like 2 days lol....I did get the boxed one so if someone could tell me if the other ones are any good?? i think they're like 6.xx at our wm.


Firestar...sorry i didn't get a chance to respond yesterday...it was the o'fallon wm. I was gonna try a sco run...but I watched the lady and she was actually paying attention to the screen and there were like two csm's just standing at a podium in the front of the store....but that store also had swiffer 360 dusters clearanced for 2.00 and the wet jet double refill kit for 8.00......i desp. want a wet jet but dh is super sensitive to smells and i've heard it has a very strong scent so he would probably freak out!

Where did you find the little lumene's?? i looked at the o'fallon t and no luck.

I haven't actually bought anything at T in over a week! So, I was wondering if people find it's easier to use more q's with less scrutiny at super t's than regular t's??? Because i read some of these runs and I
m like omigosh this would never fly at any of the t's here....would you say that's a fair statement firestar???
