On another OT note, Meijer has Speed Stick for $1.00 today and tomorrow, and the printable from either coupons.com or SS on-line works great and makes it free
But then you also have the idiots that don't listen and stay and then huff and puff the whole time because it's taking 20 mins for me to check out.
The first one I thought, maybe it was catching some of the other bar code, so I tried another. Nope, same thing. It kept saying something like "set this coupon aside and an associate will help you" and then I press the ok button and try another one. Same thing! I'm like, WTF?!!? Why aren't these damn things scanning? I tried folding it in half, covering the right side with my fingers....nothing worked!
And this whole time, this stupid lady behind me is putting her stuff on the belt and standing RIGHT next to me! Not at the end of the belt where you put your stuff on, but right freakin next to me! I wanted to say, "Hello...you're in my space here! Would you mind backing the f*!k up?" But I didn't...sigh.
Anyway, I get to the end of my coupons and none of the P&G have scanned and I'm at my free toilet scrubber q's so the cashier comes over to enter them. Then she asks if I have anymore and I just had 2 $1 P&G q's. She stays and I try to scan them, of course they don't scan. She ended up just manually entering them, but man....2 freaking hrs wasted! I ended up returning the stuff my coupons wouldn't work on, which was basically everything I went there for. Only kept a few things. No way I'm paying full price for TP, KWIM?
Soooo, any ideas why these coupons wouldn't scan? They scanned fine last week.

UGH! I spent almost 2 hrs at freakin WM tonight, thanks to DD who wasn't listening, she turned an hour trip into 2 hrs! I took some time looking at different things, bar codes, peelies (none to be found) and finally gather up my stuff and head to the SCO. NONE of my darn P&G coupons would scan!!!

Ok I can sooooooo relate to the "this is my space back the fark up!"
Sending you a PM on the rest!
I used to get 2 or 3 copies of that Kraft magazine before we moved from Hawaii and they haven't forwarded it so I'm gonna have to sign up again - here's the sign up

Today was a good day indeed. I found hella good tearpads (lots) and had a good mail day. Got a coupon order and my Kraft magazine with a FREE for Kraft dressing.
Also, my 13 DD has Alien Ant Farm "Glow" blastin on the cd player. I
I never find tear pads, lucky! Sounds like a perfect day.
But I have to say, now with my inventory, I get annoyed if I have a bad run due to the waste of time/gas but I know all in all I still came out ahead on an overall basis. Helps to put everything in perspective.
I get so thirsty shopping I drink a lot of water and that is me at the check out squirming and hoping they can scan faster. I really should go to the bathroom before check out. I swear once I almost peed my pants it took so long to check out, ya know when they have to check the bags, which is fine, just not when I have to pee that bad.
duh! thanks!
i told my sped students yesterday when they were all up on me around my desk personal space personal space this is my bubble. they all laughed. and only a few moved!

Having a baby, once they put ya in the gown and bed you have to pee every 5 mintues
Checking out at Target with a gazillion coupons...definitely have to pee every 5 minutes!
Damn nerves! You gotta have big rocks for T runs

whoops. i guess it's too late to hold that secret back.
and thrifty, you always crack me up. thanks for all your coupon help and hilarity too.
i always feel bloated the week before though, kinda like a prego feeling.
but for me by far the worst it the up and down emotions. dh has learned to not even try to reason with me at that time. he takes my mean comments in stride.

My SO and I were sitting in his car in the parking lot..in our own world; sorting out our coupons...making sure we had them in order and searching for everything I needed, my list, cash, etc. We were there a while..looking, sorting, preparing, talking back and forth about cereal coupons, and which cereals we could buy this week...etc. . A women had parked next to us, shopped in the store, and had gotten back into her car as this was all going on. She poked her head out of her van and asked if we needed cash. She said she only had singles but we could have them if we were short. As she said this, she handed about 20 singles out her window, towards us. It's been a rough year and it shows a bit in my SO and I. Looking at us from the outside, we could see how someone could mistake us for homeless even. We haven't made it to the point of homeless or starving just yet and politely turned down the offer...explaining that we were just tryign to get the most for our money. We did thank her over and over for offering, and being so kind to check to make sure we were ok. The whole rest of the night we kept talking about how kind that was of her. She has no idea the impact she made. I'm sure most of us, if not all..have had times where you felt devastated, alone, and like the rough spots were never going to end. That women putting herself out there like that made the world feel a little less big and cold tonight, something that we might of very well have been starving for lately. Please send good thoughts to her and all the other good Samaritans out there.
