RA

RA did a DD this Saturday. The prices didn't change to the new ad prices but you got the points from both the old deal(s) and the new deal(s). If the item(s) you're getting were points deals for both weeks, you got points for both deals. If you didn't max out on the new deal, the limit reset on Sunday so it's like you didn't do it. This is incredible especially with the starting points promotion. Who knows how long it will continue or if it will continue. I'm wondering if you've already maxed out the starting points deal for this week if the starting points deal for next week will kick in on Saturday and you can do another deal and then it will reset on Sunday and you can do 2 more starting points deals for the new week.

I did not get the P&G bonus for $30 of P&G items purchased on Saturday. It was available on Sunday but if I had already hit the limit on the starting points deal on Saturday, all I was able to do on Sunday was one P&G deal for 1000 points.

My conclusion is don't max out the new deals on Saturday. If the limit is 2 just do the deal once and hopefully the limit will reset on Sunday.

The RAQ in the paper for Gillette razors was beepless on the disposables on Saturday but beeped on Sunday. The $3 Gillette razor mq is beepless on most disposables (but beeps on the Mach 3) and beeps on the non-disposable razors. This is only at RA. It scans fine everywhere else. I noticed that some P&G mq's are beepless at one RA store but will beep at the next RA store. I don't understand this at all.


CVS


This isn't my deal but it's worth repeating. If you have the bogo fragrance crt from last week (I got 2 on most cards), there are some non-designer fragrances that are bogo this week making them free. I haven't done this deal myself yet.

The Tide/Pantene deal limit is 2.

The Revlon peelie beeps on nail polish but is fine on mascara. Nail polish is a mm if you have the $2 Revlon crt from last week and the $3 one that printed today. Both of these Revlon crt's are generic and should print on every card.

Understatement of the year right here.

To me if I'm even half interested in grabbing something, I'm not just going to grab it first and then worry about doing a return or reselling it later. I want to see what other people's opinions are on the product(if it's something that may require doing research on) versus just doing a blind buy.

Another forum I used to be on(CAG) had a LOT of those "NO OT" types and they would report you to the mods in a heartbeat if you dared to even shoot at comment their way.

The worst posters to me though are the ones who want detailed, step by step instructions on how to do a deal or ask questions with plainly obvious answers who you know didn't even bother reading the OP or Wiki before posting.
I've probably been the biggest OT offender in the DS forum with my jokes and non-deal posts. I finally got so sick of the thread police that I started my own DS chat thread. It was getting over 10,000 hits a week but then the mods shut it down over a fight and I was banished to here. Big mistake on my part. I really enjoyed the thread and I haven't been able to find the magic since. I do a lot of shopping and when I get home I like to unwind and post.

Question - I've got 2 threads here, 2 threads in the podium, and I've been posting in the DS forum. That's a lot for me. I'm not getting all of the notifications when people are replying to me. Sometimes I'll get the green rectangles and other times I won't. I haven't changed my settings or anything. Is there anything I can do on my end or do I just have to keep on checking the threads?

I got banished from CAG a number of years ago due to defending people's right to do as they please with the deals they buy and to state their intentions openly. The white knight numb nuts on there got into a tizzy because I dared to say that if you pay for something it's yours to do with as you please, while quite a few of them expected those who got in on a deal that they couldn't to trade/sell them to others at cost with shipping or to just be quiet about their intentions.

I see a bunch of the same thing going on here, but eventually most times both sides realize the other isn't going to change their opinion or intentions and they just go their separate ways.

Yeah, that's an issue and even more so with what's going on IG with people posting their hauls. I've been told not to discuss this stuff, which is ok with me, but what am I supposed to do when people call me stupid for buying Axe? I guess just shut up and take it...

that just happened here in another thread yesterday to someone who asked if anyone could pls pick up a pair of slippers for them and they would reimburse them cost and shipping. which i don't exactly understand since you are allowed to trade up to $5 value but you can't talk about reimbursing exact OOP.

Pretty much. At least that's how it was on CAG. If you dared to respond to the people piling on you for buying more than one of a deal YOU were the bad guy.

Yeah. I don't understand that myself. But I guess the powers that be here figured $5 is an amount that people would likely be willing to lose without making a stink about versus trading or buying/selling in larger amounts.

I made numerous deals on other forums I've been on, including selling my entire PS2/Xbox game collection back in 2008 for around $600 or so to another forum member. Of course before I found that one member who wanted the whole collection I had people trying to cherry pick the rarer titles for $5 apiece.LMAO It got frustrating to the point where I wanted to tell them to go fcuk themselves for not being able to read that I wanted to unload everything in one shot(and for lowballing). So I can kind of see why they don't want similar deals made here.Too much of a pain, especially if someone tries scamming another person.

I agree, this is so bad it should be taken off the market. Something that causes people to have migraines like this does should be banned.

My allergies went crazy today. I had a car full of Axe, Olay, Caress, and fragrance gift sets. Don't know what exactly it was but it wiped me out...

I'd be doubling down on the Benadryl and Flonase if I had that sorta stuff loaded in my car.laugh out loud As it stands this gout med is kicking my ass(chills, lower back pain). But it's better than limping round for another month.

I'm allergic to just about every med so I don't take anything. The meds are usually worse than what I'm taking them for. I broke my hip a few years ago (while walking my dog) so limping is a part of my life. I probably wouldn't be walking right now if it weren't for the jacuzzi. If I'm in any pain, I sit in the jacuzzi and that works better than the pain pills.

I was already limping from the case of gout I got a couple years ago. Even went to work at this one temp job I had at the time with it. I ended up damaging the ankle joint on my left foot cuz of it. Now I think the right ankle/foot is the same way. What sucks worse is that I keep reading conflicting information on which foods you can and can't have with this condition. I might as well go vegan at this point since most meat is out and some vegetables are pretty bad for it too.Mad

Normally though my body tolerates meds decently. But I guess that's not so with this one. Frown But if the worst that can happen is a lil chills and some soreness here or there then I'm OK with that versus the joint pain.

I tried Joint Juice for my joint pain. It didn't make my joints feel any better but it put me in a really good mood for some reason.
