Tried P10 for the first time, worked well! My question is... does anyone else not bother paying in cash or g.c.s?? I also mean to and then forget... credit cards are so much simpler. I don't do anything outrageous but definitely use a lot of the similar qs mentioned all the time. Should I be concerned??

Not related; I LOVE those Sally Hansen peelies! 3 & 2 $ off anything makes for cheap nailpolish; I wish I had swiped more at the far-away store!

It is really a preference thing, I think. It seems that most ppl use cash & GCs to avoid any issues, hassle but I almost always use my credit/debit card. I don't carry more than $5 cash most of the time...but my OOP is normally always well over $8.

HTH
others will surely tell you their thoughts too.

Have I mentioned lately how much I love/hate Target? Not to jinx myself, but had some lovely runs lately. I'm at over $500 in GC's, with plenty of Pantene and P10 still in my future.

Jawdrop HOLY SHIZNIT!!!!! Worthy I guess I need to take some lessons. I just don't have the stones to do more than 1 transaction at a time/day. How do you guys do it? Are both your stores ST??? All the stores around me are regular T's with only like 10 registers or less. I would THNK they would notice me....Confused

I have balls. I literally line up 8 at the register and tell them they have to do 8 transactions. Could have been more but I haven't been bothering with the $2 MFQ.

I won't tell you what Steph has but it's well above me Smilie

Hey DM has $500. MFH bought a TV with her GC's. We all did very well with this promotion.

Mine are all regular targets. I try to do one run of 5-8 and then go back in and do another run same amount. At least 10 a trip or else it's not worth it. Last night I lined up 10 on the belt and had him do them all at once. Ballsy but young kid and he was off in 15.

I have been doing the Perfect 10 deals 5 at a time, in the ELECTRONICS area. This is my hiding place from all the LODs and cashiers who recognized me up front, even at the strictest stores. It has been so easy and quicker to do, except for the restrictions of Qs from the store last night. Over all, I think I did about 30 BOGOs and glad that deal is done for me.

Debating about the Venus deal - not too good for me because I don't have any Venus TQs. Mad

I have to use some today to shop for my brother. He's younger than me, little baby, recently diagnosed with prostate cancer, works 3 jobs and some money issues. Decided to do a run today for him even though I was planning on boycotting target today.

hug I'm sorry to hear about your brother. He's in my prayers.

No ST here and only 1 T I really go to. The others are too far for any kind of daily run. No way to do circuit runs either, they are all in opposite directions from each other and at least 30 mins apart.

If I run on lunch, I do 5 transactions with 2 P10 and 6 Pantene each. Then if I have time, I take that to the car and do it again. But I don't get there every day. Once a week, if I'm lucky.....was really lucky and got there twice this week. laugh out loud

I bought enough for 40, mad though as they're not here yet and ordered last Sat. I want to do them all Sunday afternoon and be done with that quick if there's no transaction limit. Well even if there is one I want to be done with it Sunday.

You guys Rock hard! Seriously! There should be some kind of T gold star for the two of you, MFH, and thuctrang (and probably lots of others who haven't posted). Wait, not a gold star, a bullseye, of course.

Oh my gosh, that is so terrible. So sorry for him. Prostate cancer in younger men is awful. My DH lost one of his best friends to that-- the guy was under 50 and it hit him hard.

I usually use my cc unless I happen to have a gc. I too never carry cash. My DH jokes that I never have more than $3 at any one time. Right now it's not true b/c T gave me $27 in cash last night for coupons that had been refused.

I frankly can't live my life like I'm worried someone is going to catch me out doing something "wrong." If I thought it was wrong, I just wouldn't do it. KWIM? (Not to say I don't understand why some are concerned-- I've read some horror stories.)

I also have no ST and only 1 T to go to. The other T on this side of town is the evil T that refuses to take TQs and MQs together; the others are far, far on the other side of town. I should probably give them a whirl sometime but w/no information about how they are, I don't want to waste the gas driving over there.

I have to try to get up the nerve to do something like what you all are doing today, if I want to use up my 12 Qs left. I know that's nothing to most of you, but 12 transactions feels like a lot. The store was so empty last night, even doing 2 felt like a lot.
