Mini-WIKI, you need to time it right and be at the top of every pages in the deal thread. laugh out loud

Same questions over and over: where is the peelie, where is the BOGO, is it printable, is it free, how is it free, why is it free... EEK!

We should post this question: What's in the WIKI?

Obviously no one reads it, bc the P-10 & Pantene are listed first with every possible details.
Ya know, I thought about that Trang...but some of these people obviously don't even read the last five posts before theres, because the answer to their question is right there!!!!

I need to get some work done............. Smilie

It was so damn hot last night, 76 in the house but I still think it's too early to put on ac. Once it's on, I don't shut it off (temp controlled) until end of summer. I always try to wait til 6/1
UGH, it was 90 in my house when I got home from vaca....left the ac off since I'd been having problems, no time to get someone over before I left...turns out the inside unit has a leak & was freezing up. YAY for expensive repairs. At least the a/c guy was unbearably cute with piercing blue eyes....

I feel ya on waiting though...I was still waiting until we had 90 degrees all week...I was enjoying those $100 electric bills!

Okay so how many trips are you making to target these next few days? I work & only have 3 good ones near me that will take my q's....I don't think I'll make it through 15 more q's by friday though & that makes me Frown.

I don't know about this update thing either.

Why is it important?
Did you just drop in and see "update" and feel the need to ask? Or have you been reading and don't understand it? There is a difference.

If you haven't been shopping at Target, and haven't been reading, then no, you won't know.

If you have been shopping at Target, you will know what the update is. It has been discussed in great length for the last month and a half.

Please don't clutter up the thread with questions if you haven't done your research.

A couple questions

1) Is there a reason this thread can't be divided up into a couple/few? I know for me its hard as heck even after 24 hours to figure out what on earth is going on.

2) What is the register update thing? I keep reading about it but havent seen what it is yet?

TIA
You have to put aside at least an hour a day to read and probably a bit more to print/cut/clip coupons. There is a separate chat thread for BS stuff in the lounge

The update is a system update at target. We used to be able to use as many Target q as we wanted, not anymore. It's also screwing up some MFQ as well.

You know what, there is no need to be rude. Some of us didnt realize there was a target thread sitting under a different section. To me this thread would be closer to the drugstore deals than to the one it is in. Not to mention, if I try to look at this once a day suddenly It seems like Im a hundred posts behind.

I shop at Target quite often (well for the deals) and haven't run into anything different which is why I asked about this update. So please dont make assuptions about those who comment here. Ive tried to read thru it to see if I saw anything about it, but I dont have 10 hours to sit and read thru every post and the ones I tried to skim thru didnt specifiy what it was, just that it was happening.

I follow the target threads on another board much more closely (as they are seperate topics not one huge mess of topics) and havent seen anything about the update there, hense the reason for asking here.

Trust me I already spend about 5 hours a day (on top of the 40hr workweek) when you take into account getting coupons, clipping, putting deals together, and doing the shopping. This thread just seems to be the most cluttered of any Ive ever seen.

Anyways, thanks for answering the update q. My mother was just out and purchased quite a bit of coffee with the target cpns with no problems, so it must not have hit here yet.

Simmer your ponies down. It wasn't directed at you. It was directed at someone who I have never seen post on the Target thread. Never. People don't need to be waltzing into a thread and asking questions right off the bat. Do some research.

Further more, Target isn't a Drugstore. Yes, some have Pharmacy's, but it is not a drug store.

People do their research btw.. but most of the conversation here is cloaked. Kinda like "you know the uh, yeah that coupon, and with the certain money off q wink wink you can get the gc deal". etc. In that line along, there are 3 questions

1. which "uh yeah, that coupon" are you talking about?
2. Which certain money of q?
3. Which giftcard deal?

That is how most of the conversation here is. The paperclip is flooded with q's but you don't know to go there if the deal isn't mentioned.

How come the scotchbrite FREE stainless steel cleaner kit coupon was never put o nthe wiki? Was it ever really discussed? The word stainless was thrown around enough times for me to look in the paperclip for that coupon. I found it. It expired yesterday. I got my 5 kits. There were no more in my store.

Alot of the target conversation is done in pm's. So it is VERY hard for someone that ISN'T here 8 hours a day, to find out what's going on. It can take an hour of reading and a pm or 2 to get the gist of waht is going on.

If this would be any other thread (say, cvs) where someone would pop in and ask a dumb question, i'd understand when people don't answer their question and say something like "read the wiki" or "read the thread". Bc everything is in the thread. But in the Target threads, that's one place you can't acuse someone of not doing their research. Bc if you're not in the 'know', then all the research in the world doesn't matter.

Sometimes people that never posted in here waltz in with a question. How do you know they haven't spent hours reading before asking? I say that, bc I was that person once. After over an hour of reading I had a question. I got yelled at right away. For not reading. well hells bells, everyone was discussing that certain spicy sauce, and pardon me for not realizing what exactly that is and how it worked.

Another time I was accused of being a male target employee. Bc I posted the same day someone from the breakroom site posted. This is the reason why people don't post here so much. But when they do, they're not newbies.

So that said, if you dont' want to answer questions, don't. But to yell at people and assume whatever you want, don't.

Yes, it is a cluttered mess lately. Seems to happen everytime there's a good deal or GC deal. It's the same questions asked over and over. Where's this q, where's that q?

Pantene and Perfect10 are about the only things that have been talked about in the last 2,000 posts or more, yet there are still people that come in and feel the need to ask where to get a coupon for the deal. Have they even bothered to read the wiki? Apparently not. The deal is listed there with the coupons to use and farther down in the wiki is a list of where to get just about every unexpired insert coupon out there.

So yes, when 1,500 of the last 2,000 posts are asking what the deal is, where the coupons are....it tends to get a bit cluttered.

I'm going right now to do at least 10 if they have the inventory. Then if not, after work again. Then tomorrow at lunch. Hopefully done by then until venus on Sunday. Going to do 10 at a time as long as inventory holds.

15 no prob. You can do that in one store. Line em up on belt, First 8 transactions, then go back in and do another 7

Quote from pthappy6 :
I wanted to mention this deal because I have not seen it discussed lately. These pages go so fast and it is easy to miss. It is not a money maker but for me, a nice way to stock up. I do this deal of some sort on every t run, we have lots of parties.

The chinet plates have $1.00 peelies. These peelies work for many different chinet products, not just the ones listed on the coupon. I believe the coupon says on dinner plates. I have used them on dessert plates, cups, luncheon plates, and dinner plates.

I usually buy 4 chinet items, with 4 peelies, plus the $3 off 15 partygoods coupon. The peelie coupon attaches to each and the t coupon comes off at the end.

Here is my deal from yesterday:
Chinet dessert plates $2.69
Chinet desset plates $2.69
Chinet dessert plates $2.69
Chinet Cups $2.69
Total: $10.76
Minus peelies$4
Minus $3 party t coupon in wiki=$3.76
Divided by 4=94 cents each

Great way to stretch an overage.

About a month ago folks were finding bogo (i think) peelies attached to plastic clear cups. I check on each trip and I have never found any, so YMMV. Combining those bogo, plus $1 peelies, plus partyware Q was a sweet deal.

You can experiment with the quantity to get you to $15 if you know what I mean : )

Been have a great time this week with the Pefect10 and the 5/50 coupon! I love saving money!
CHINET????? You're kidding, right?

Oh brother.........
