So I'm checking out last night have around 55 or so q's and the red phone rings!! EEK! I said "That is so weird the phone rang, never had a phone ring during check out, was it about me or somthing?" he said "Yes, they said you can only use 10 TQ and 10 MQ, 20 total q's per transaction." Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

So I have the cashier start taking stuff off because the call didn't come until everything was rang up. While removing items the register freezes, he calls someone because he doesn't know how to unfreeze it. We wait over 10 min (So I seperate my items & coupons into three orders) and finally the red phone rings again and they tell him how to unfreeze the register. Then I have him void the whole order, I would have left it all but the only thing they seemed picky about was 20 q's per order not a care as to what ones. Dontknow And we were out of milk and DD needed those Tollhouse cookies for class tomorrow. So we start all over again, and I do my 3 transactions.

The GSTL or whatever she is comes over after paying for last transaction and asks if everything is okay here, and I say not really. She says they got a memo from corporate today and they are limiting all q's to 10 of each per transaction and no more buying trial size items with coupons at all even it there is no size restriction. I didn't have one trial size item in either of my 3 transactions!

I got in checkout line about 9:30 pm and left the store at 10:30 pm the very last customer, they close at 10 pm! STUPID! I don't know what the hell that accomplished except a huge PITA for me, cashier, and the other people trying to check out at closing.

If I had know I would have to do three transactions I would have used up more of my BOGO hair color, I should have ran back and grabbed 4 more. Then I would be out of coupons!

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!
Soapnuts posted this one back in the day.

OMG I can not believe this, that people would get mad that I did not post the stainless in the WIKI. I was the original poster of it and posted it as soon as I found it, however, I was camping and on my laptop at the time and was only checking in briefly to read and stay up to date.

People shouldn't be mad. Had they been keeping up with the thread, they would have seen it. Some just think that every deal and coupon should be spelled out and found for them.

There were many posts after you had posted about it. Many posters had quoted you and in the quote box was your link.

Personally, that WIKI is worthless.

How do you know it was a toy coupon if it had no picture and no word "toy"?
Teehee

Quote from Shopin4aLivin :
I am pretty sure they compared the barcodes
So the coupon was pulled outta the drawer, the shopper said "lemme see that" and compared barcodes real quick? Uh, weird. laugh out loud

Quote from Devilmomma :
Please, NO MORE talk of P10 & Pantene! What could there possibly be left to talk about!?
Seriously. Maybe it would unclutter the thread.

Quote from smrtshppr42 :
.
So, perhaps that is why things are so hush-hush and people speaking in some foreign code language.
This does seem true. When I first started, I was so lost. Some people are rude, and some aren't. Smilie After like, 6 months you end up understanding what that "foreign language" is though. Coverlaugh

*snip* 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. *snip*
I decided when I started reading this thread a few weeks ago that it really is commitment on my part. So many of the people who have been posting on this thread who have the extensive knowledge that they do of Target have been putting a lot of their time into learning the Target system. They help those of us who are doing our part to help ourselves (by reading the Wiki, keeping up with the thread etc). I have found that by keeping up with the thread everyday I can pretty much figure out what is going on.

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.
It takes some big ones to come onto a thread that you've barely contributed to (at least that I've noticed) and ask that it be tailored to your needs. shake head

I wish to add in case I have been misunderstood, that I am HAPPY for your deal. And repp'd. I would never be mad at anyone in particular for not posting a deal. Using the Q as an example, I was saying how every single question gets answered with "check the wiki" and it seems to be a common theme, that hot deals such as this aren't posted there. This is a hot deal, and you didn't get half the credit you deserved for it.

Another piece of advice is to broaden your reading to not just this thread. There is a T Chit Chat thread, Hot Deals, New WM thread, Coupon Thread, etc. etc. that will have talk about coupons that are Hot and ways to use them. Just cause it wasn't posted in the wiki for everyone to print isn't the OP's fault! I think everyone is doing a great job keep it up.

What do you do if it says you already printed the coupon the max times you are allowed to? I tried deleting browser history....Anyone know?

TIA
Option 1: Use another computer.

Option 2: Swap out your Hard Drive for another one (almost the same as option1).

Option 3: Pray you are printing coupons from Walgreens.com and you are using Vista OS (still have to clear cookies/cache & restart browser - may not help much with Target shopping Whistling).

Option 4: Cry / Curse / Jump Up & Down (not nearly as effective as options 1 or 2 - magic irony ball says ask again later).

Nobody said its the op's fault. Just don't yell at "so called newbies" when they ask a question. I'm sticking up for the underdogs, who've come flocking out of the woodwork to pm me and tell me that's exactly how they feel. My original email pointed no blame, and was only mean to broaden the understanding as to who's here in the threads. Smilie
