Good morning everyone! wave I am cringing as I type, but I swear I have researched - I have a quick q - someone had posted a direct link to a list of the different types of coupons available on giveabowl.com the other day. I have been searching the retired threads for a half hour trying to find it again, with no luck. Does anyone happen to have it available? Thank you very much!

Quote from GarnierMoney :
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.
I think the reason it wasn't put in WIKI is because there was a short window to use it in and people were busy over the holiday weekend. I think when the OP discovered the Q we only had 3 days before it expired. It was posted in the thread a couple of times though. HTH.

Garnier,

I think you have some valid points.

I also think a lot of the cloaked conversation stems from the fact that a high percentage of the Target deal sharing that goes on here is shall we say.....of the shady nature? So, perhaps that is why things are so hush-hush and people speaking in some foreign code language.

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
I guess I'm getting desperate so I'll need to get ballsy and do that...just too many variables to that though, what if they don't like my q's...what if I piss them off even more with that many seperate transactions? Guess I'll try that at lunch tomorrow...silly me forgot the q's that came in the mail yesterday...only have 3 on me...will use today though!

I dont do the other stores so no clue how their systems work..don't care...I like Target...I shop at Target..so I care what happens at Target...

That being said...the deals we are getting will cease if every little thing is spelled out in the thread...simple as that...they are reading..they are catching on..its quite obvious...EEK!

We have a PM function here...don't understand someones post...ask them...in a PM...simple....I would say 9/10 I get a response ...very nice and helpful people here but there is a time and a place for everything...As for that number over there
<----------- its nice and all but last I checked it had no face value or expiration dateshake head....nuff said...hug

I understand all that. But if that's the case, you have to take what goes along with it. People are going to ask questions. And you can't yell at everyone that asks. If you talk in code bc of the hush hush nature of the target deals. Right? Smilie

Shopping and this thread are like a marriage. It takes commitment. You will get out of this thread and target what you put in. I don't mean that you have to contribute a new deal every day, but if you put in the time reading, clipping, etc, then you get more out of it.

If people are concerned that they can't keep up with everything, they are reading too many forums, etc, then maybe priorities need to be thought of.

I finally made it to bed last night around 1am. Why? B/c I got home, spent time with the kiddos, put them to bed, hung out with Hubby, unloaded, put everything away, and caught up on the thread. Also bought some more cpns, and did a bit of looking around at other sites.

Roger that. However, the update has been discussed openly and at length on almost every page. At least some mention of it has been on each page. Whether it be "my store got this update" "this is what I ran into with cpns today" "i could only use 3 tq's" etc.

If it's any consolation to ya, I am a faithful reader of the thread and I knew nothing about the stainless coupon. Certain groups have private parties, if you know what I mean, so only certain peeps get in on the deals. Then they put the info out there and reap all the glorious attention they get from it.

Garnier, there is not certain solution. The Target forums have been like this since day one that I began reading over a year ago. I do think a lot of the nonsense questions could be in the form of PMs, not asking the same Q over and over and over.

Sorry you missed it, obvioulsy we all did since it was posted so late, but the stainless coupon was posted over the weekend with 3 days left before it expired. Unfortunately, it got lost in the P & P questions.

I know that I am fairly new here, but I don't think that its right that someone is making fun of someones post. Perhaps that poster thought it might be a help to someone?
