I want to stock up Size 3, 4 and 5 pampers diapers. Wondering what would be good choice Cruisers or Baby Dry. We are using now swaddlers.

If anyone not using $10 Glucerna coupon which works on similac or have able to print from systems, PM me, thanks.

You guys are great.

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
You know what you do? Buy 4 Zantac for $4.99, and give them 3 $5 off coupons, and if you are lucky you can pair that with the other $1 of Zantac. All of the $5 coupons will scan, and so will the $1 off.

I only had one cashier have a baby cow I was doing this, but the manager said it was ok, $20 of product, and $16 of coupon. You only get one register reward of course, but you get 4 Zantac for $4.00, then the $3 RR. I didn't know these were still printing, I must go back to Walgreen's to get more, as I thought it was over. Good tip, Rep in the other thread, or wherever you last posted, whichever came first.

Or buy 3 Zantac for $4.99 each and give 2 of the $5 off coupon, and the other $1 off (all three of the coupons will can as you did not exceed the price). Then again you spend $4 and get 3 Zantac and a 3RR.

Or buy 2 Zantac for $4.99 and use the $5 off coupon and the $1 off one. They will both scan, but again you will have oop expense of almost $4 before your $3 RR.


Edit:

Because I am thinking of what a great deal this was last week when the Zantac was on sale for $3.99. That is when you could buy 4 and give 3 five off coupons, along with a $1 coupon (some Walgreen's computers excepted this last $1 off others gave the message quantiy value exceeded) and get the $3 RR after spending 0 - .99. Or get a good deal even buying 2 or 3.

I guess now since it is not on sale you will have oop expense of $4 no mater how many you buy, and then get the $3 RR. Still not a bad deal if you buy mulitples!

I used the swaddlers when my little guy was little, lol. I then used the baby dry, I liked them better than the cruisers. I have a bunch of Luvs and Pampers baby dry in sz 5 and 6. My guy is only 14 mo old and wears sz 5! I actually dont mind the Luvs, the only times I dont use them is if I go out shopping ro something I will use Pampers in case it is a bit before I can change him. I also use Huggies Overnights because he soaks through at night if I didnt use them.

So I use 3 different diapers! He didnt stay in 3's long, 4's and 5's are the ones you can really stock up on.

Hope that helps!

I have been using both $3 and $5 cws at wmsco as late as last night and I have had no trouble at all. I don't fold mine. I use my big thumb and cover the right side. No trouble for me at all.

And I am the complete opposite. My DS is 16 months, migrating to 6's and we think the cruisers are superior in absorbency to the baby drys. We had a bunch I bought prior to finding this thread and I actually sold the rest on ebay a couple of weeks ago. We love the cruisers, ate through the rest of them and moved to Luvs for during the day. Agree with stormy, I will always keep pampers on hand for bigger trips, Luvs are just not that absorbent and you can't use them at night. But hey they were free, I'll work with what I have.

I wish I could figure it all out. I am sure one of the Walmart SCO's in my area has more brain than the other one, so I will be using that one only on one certain coupons. Also this is a much newer SCO machine at this store. My glade or Airwick coupons scan for all the various products at all Walmart's and I don't have to cover anything, so do a lot of my other coupons. It is just those P & G coupons that sometimes give me the problems. Double fold for me, I guess in the future, or fatten my thread! laugh out loud

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.
Aren't the ones from the kmart bib book the old style? I'm pretty sure they don't have that funky 2nd barcode. Also, I think the one I requested to be mailed was the old style too. Too bad I'm skerred to use these things. laugh out loud

Someone suggested that you buy 2 along with some other small filler, hand them the first $5 coupon which will go through and then ask them to remove one of the items because you don't have your other coupon or you forgot it or something. I haven't tried it but it seems like a good idea. Smilie

My supply of post its is amazing. I had none when I first started. I have piles in my office now. Slightly troubling as I keep adding the clearance ones to them. I love the clearance designs. I should stop. I can't. They're free.

Yeah that should work, if you ask me that should just give it to us for crying out loud it is only .01, and a coupon found on their own website at that. I told one manager this rather upset after they wouldn't take the one, this was before I found out the other trick last week. I couldn't complain about getting 2 - 4 boxes of Zantac for no more than .99 four or so times, with a $3 RR printing each time. If I brought home more anyway, my DH would be like why the heck do we need more.

Also for some reason the Zantac is under lock and key at half my stores (People steal this stuff?) You can get free samples in the mail for goodness sakes watch the free thread. Anyway a manger has to bring it up to the register sometimes, or sometimes they just hand it to you after they take it out of the locked cabinet, so putting one back is more of an ordeal than it should be.

The idea definetly works...that is what it happened. I had one zantac and Amex cards to buy with $10 RR's. After all RR's I gave the coupon and it beeped. clerk take out the zantac and rerings it and then coupon went fine. After seeing the receipt I realized he rang the zantac twice. I got the refund though. That was my first attempt in using Zantac coupon.

Tried the AF trial bag coffee with the TQ, it beeps. Manager checked me out and was cursing under his breath that the stupid coupons never scan, he was manipulating the barcodes with his fingers, but still had to K'1 most everything...no problems he was very nice. This is the Same Target that has been super scrutinizing, it was about an hour before close, so maybe he was just too worn down by all the other coupon pushers to care. I miss the old target, no hassles just free crap.
crazy...mine went through & adjusted for the $0.99 bags of coffee.

Thank GOD it wasn't the Target Coupon Police..EEK! .....Rofl2
I had a crazy dream last night that i was at target, going through the line, but I only paid for certain things, there were 2 things in my cart that I didn't pay for. So as I walked to the door, the lod at the last store I was at stopped me and said that the store manager wanted to have a talk with me. As we're walking back to his office, everything changes to back of house in a hotel and I'm in this swank little sitting area on the couch. He comes out and says that he's been looking at tapes of my transactions and pulls out the joint juice coupon...at that point I'm like, what, that's totally valid...and then I don't remember anything else.

weird.

I hate having to have manager intervention at least twice a week I told my husband, since something in my sale didn't jive. I know they all know me. Some of the guys love me, some dislike me and my coupon issues lets say, and the woman are usually alright, but I do have the occasional uptight one.
