OK I don't want to post this in deals but there's a pepsi deal at our grocery store starting tomorrow. 5 for $11, must buy 5 and limit one set per transaction. I had printed the tava/amp last time but didn't do the target deal, we don't drink much soda and I didn't want to ruin a run. I'd like to have some on hand for our party this summer so want to do two sets.

So what's the best way, 5 1.50 Tavas? How does the Amp work for me, I know the posts indicate it takes off automatically but what does it take off, the coupon value or the price of the pepsi?

Thanks. PS-zout rules

Thrifty-what pet q's are you looking for? Take a look at my post in RAOK, I have lots

SO as promised...here's a quick update on my MIA status...

Apparently my ex decided while I was waiting to move to Florida and start our life together, it would be a good idea to join various online dating sites--using my money of course. We had a joint account (I know, I'm stupid) and I was putting a little money in each week to save for the move and whatnot. I didn't bother checking on it because I had no reason to worry right? Well $3,000 later and dating websites and whatnot, I found out how dumb and wrong I was.

I just keep smacking myself on the head...I'm totally one of those stupid women you see on Dr. Phil and Oprah who go on and on about all the money they were taken for and whatnot...luckily I got sick of his bullcrap and ended it. And before I could close the account, he sucked it dry...

SO I have just been busy feeling sorry for myself and whatnot, and I still havent gotten the internet (or cable tv) started at the apartment...because there is just other stuff I've done instead...but sooner or later I will have both and will be able to chat again.

Thanks to everyone for helpful PMs with random deals that I would have missed out on otherwise, and thanks to my Target shopping buddies keeping me up to date with Qs (andreasss and smurphy)....

NOW back to work!

Oh I am so sorry to hear that, what a jerk! He will get his just remember there is Karma baby, and I believe in it! Plus you were not stupid, you were trusting, which is what we have to be to stay sane in this lifetime! You did the right thing to trust someone that you loved, and you can't help it he is a loser! I bet you will keep your guard up a bit more next time, and always remember to keep at least one single account for yourself! I am married and I love my husband, and hope and believe we will be OK for ever, but even I have one small account that is only in my name. Better safe than sorry!

Not that this is any consolation to you, but I trusted my J...as ex to pay child support for my elder daughter for years, which of course he did not, so now he owes me $25,000 in back child support. I get bits and spurts here and there, but he is far from being paid off. I figure the relationship he lost with his daughter is his Karma coming to get him!

Isn't there a try-out/money-back guarantee from those sites? Maybe you can get some of your money refunded. Sorry, to hear that you have to go through all that. Is CASTRATION still around in this country?

i have some from last month and i have some that expire on 5/31 .but u can use the old ones too . And I just give them the current cws coupon not the old one. i been waiting for them to get new 3.00 cws coupons cause i have the old ones too. the old cws coupon are not coded in the barcode with expiring date . I tried to use the new barcode at walmart and it saids you have exeeded your limit it does that on all of my pg coupons even if they are pringles coupons so i think they flaged them on any the new barcode . i have the same problem with the swiffers but i got some old style swiffer coupons and they work fine.

Just fold your coupon to show and scan only the left-side barcode. This will work. When the machine is reading the right-side barcode - it will say "exceed your limit".

Thanks for the tip, repped in the other thread, or your last post whichever came first! laugh out loud I will have to tell my DH the older P & G ads he finds in the dumbster are not the trash I first thought they were, and to please save them for me to compare to the others!

Boy, what some of you consider small runs! For me using 30 Qs is a large one...LOL! If I have 12-14 Qs, the cashiers are like "Wow, that's a lot!" Some day I'd like to visit a Super T, there are none in my state. I'm sure those cashiers are used to seeing a lot of Qs.

No T today for me, I'm just doing my research and taking notes for next time. I did go the WMSCO today, 3 times, yes 3! I got home from my first run, and went back with DH, and then we each did a transaction. It's time consuming, since our SCOs max out at $20 coupon savings. You hit that fast with Qs for $5, 3.50, 3, etc. I am wanting to stock up on Tyson and Kraft Cheese, and a few other usual suspects. I'll take tomorrow off from there...LOL!

I now recognize one of the plain clothes security guys at WM. Saw him following a teen girl there the other night. She was acting suspicious, I saw her down the travel/trial aisle and cosmetics. And she didn't look like she was just shopping. She was as obvious as the security guy who was following her. He was crouched down at ends of rows, watching her from around the corner. He was on his phone with security at the cameras, and he was watching her on the overhead cam while she was in the cosmetic area. It was quite humorous. DH left me to shop and he followed them for entertainment. So I get to the store today, and see that security guy right away. Hope I never see him following me or asking to see my Qs!

We got home and I made the Tyson Fajitas that I got with the Tyson Q! They're in the freezer case, and come with 6 tortillas, a bag of onions/peppers, and a bag of meat. They are nothing like restaurant or grilled home made fajitas, but you know what? For $1.58 they were pretty darned edible!

A few Walgreens questions:

1. Did anyone buy Zantac today? I wonder you still get the $3 RR?
2. Has anyone had them refill black inkjet and are you happy with the quality? I use HP56 and was thinking of having them refill it for $10. I've always used HP cartridges so far.
Bought one on 05/13/08. received $3 RR.. Here everywhere the price $4.99 and they rejecting coupon.. wish they had for $5.49

I tried this method 3 times at one of my Walmarts, the only coupon I used like this in the order. This machine is smarter or something, I swear! It didn't work till I double folded the coupon after two other attempts. Then the order still needed SCO lady approval even after I finally got it to scan properly. I wonder if I was doomed on the needing SCO lady approval from the first exceed message, even thought the coupon finally scanned on the third try. I scanned the rest of my coupons before trying that coupon a second and then third try (you can see I was determined)! I am going to try to find an older P & G like you suggest and check out the differences!

That is so funny! We all think alike I do the same thing! Now my husband has finally figured out why I am looking at purses and accessories (especially the ones he knows I would not buy anyway) all interestedly when it is time to checkout sometimes. He is on the lookout for a good lane, and he will alert me. Then I am a crazy women unloading, before another line opens.
I send my kid to the snack bar to wait for me because he makes me nervous and I KNOW from experience, that he is going to say something stupid while we are checking out. So he is banned from going through the check out line at Target with 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???

I found a new thing that I love too.....the Scrubbing Bubbles Action Scrubbers for cleaning the tub. And at wmsco, I have found the Scrubbing Bubbles coupons are pretty much interchangeable. The starter kit was like $4-something, and I used a $3 SB Q for something. I did pay a dollar something for it, but it was a test to see if I liked the product and I LOVE IT!!
