RETIRED: Target Chit Chat

how do you guys deal with "the nervous factor"?

I get all stressed - but I've already copped to be kind of a shopping/coupon wuss

Pray for a sign from above?

If your cart get a broken wheel - a sign that you shouldn't finish that run.
If all your cashiers are Jedis with no customers in line - a sign that you should do repeated runs that day, back-to-back!

Here is a brief tutorial for ya - of course there are exceptions.

If the second set of 5 numbers on the coupon start with 992 - the coupon will beep every time at Target.

Match up the first set of 5 numbers on the coupon and on the item. If they match and the price of the item is over the value of the coupon, it will most likely not beep. Try it!

Don't be nervous - if you have a questionable q just don't use too many of them in the same order. If they hand one back, just say you forgot to pick up the item or that you thought it was for the item you picked up. The worst you will have to do is return something or have them take something off. I always find people I can chit chat with. Start asking about their day or whatever and they don't pay nearly as close of attention. Even if they try to scrutinize they are distracted.

I'll have to remember the broken wheel rule of thumb

I'm not a very good chit chatter Although, if I get better at it while Targeting, it can only help in other areas of my life, right

So, I had my coupons clipped just a few more to print. Got showered used Pantene & Softsoap body wash. Used my lumene facial moisturizer, a little Herbal Essences mousse in the hair. Put on my best Mossimo t-shirt and Merona capris. Slipped on a pair of Xhiliration flip flops and grabbed my Isaac Mizrahi bag and envie of coupons and realized that I had not printed out the Goodlife TQ. Went to the puter and I was out of ink

Is that a sign that I should not Target today?!

Went to Staples, used a $10/20 competitor q and 3 recycled cart...got a slick deal on ink. Printed the Goodlife, but now all I want to do is change into my bathing suit and hit the beach!

I miss whee, does anyone know if she is alright??

Also Kroger limits you to two like coupons as well, and some Shop and Saves need a manager's key used if your coupon value exceeds $10. That happened to me last time I went to the O'Fallon Shop and Save across from Schuncks.

OMG - I hope not! I don't think I would meet up with someone that I hadn't exchanged a lot of messages with and that wasn't a regular poster. I wondered that too - but it is so exciting I can't help myself now!

About 6 months ago the agreement was if a gm position opened up in Chicago that I could take we could move....now he's trying to convince me to move to the country (I'm talking no Target, WM, or WAG's within a 40 mile radius!!!)....uh no thanks dude lol.

nice.. i ran out of ink too day before yesterday. i hate that, always happens when you are psyched to get out the door!

where did you get the $10/$20 coupon? and here i though i was semi-slick using a 20% off office max brown bag for my ink purchases. crud.

well....I just had a HORRIBLE wm experience! Probably my own fault however.
2 shick razors
2 refills
pampers wipes package
2 gain laundry det.
2 dove products

I used the sco.....the razor needs the price wrote in (which I didn't notice) so it prompts for someone to do that...the lady comes gets one of the razors takes it and then comes back and says did you get the disposables? and looks it my sacks to find it....nope...not disposable...so your coupons for the refills won't work either...unless you wanna buy the razors she says.....I tell her no I don't want the razors then and she says I'll have to call and csm to come do this because you already put the coupons in.....after a few minutes the csm comes over and opens the coupon dealy....(I get out the razors and refills and tell her they just need taken off, I don't want them....then she sees all the coupons I had put in for dove(3) and cws(3)...she says did you get 3 of these?...I said ya....she says can I see them.....*sigh*.....I said Oh scrap I must not have after looking in the sacks woops....and THEN she wants to see the 3 vitalizers I got *sigh*....totally not cool...I felt like an idiot and she said we'll just have to cancel the whole sale and start over.....I said OK...I'll have to put some of this back first tho cuz I won't have enough money....which I did have but I'm not paying reg. price for them....so I put all the coupon stuff back I had wanted and got a few things I actually needed. Then I went to my car and wanted to cry cuz I was mad and upset!
