I've stacked several q's in one transaction at TRU. It surprised me when she said I could. I know I used a 10%, $5 off, and I'm pretty sure another $10 off all on the same order.


Ok all the teachers out there....what is a nice end of the year gift you'd like to receive? We gave my DS's Kindergarten teacher a scented candle for teacher appreciation week, so I need something different that she would actually like/use. kwim?
We love gift cards and a personal note. We get tons of candles, mugs, bath/body stuff. Most teachers throw out home made foods too.

Thanks. I had a look at the menu online today, looking pretty good! I saw those muffins on the platter and figured they must be a specialty.

Hi guys

I was wondering if anyone has some SOLO coupons to trade. My mom is having a party for my little brother and I wanted to help her buying the disposable stuff. I was hoping to combine the MQs with the party coupon. Please PM with what you need. I have multiple copies of most inserts ...TIA

Quote from teri037 :
If you printed them from a place like coupons.com or if it's a bricks coupon they let you print two of each coupon. It's probably o.k.
Please, PLEASE, if you do not know the answer to a question - do not answer and spread misinformation! I am not saying this to be mean, but misinformation does not help anyone and can actually be harmful. In this case (since the number under the scrambled barcode - the unique identifier - is the same), what happened is that the person who printed the Q's has 2 copies OF THE SAME Q! The store WILL NOT get reimbursed for the second one.

Quote from shopgirl24 :
exactly. someone buying $500 of razors. that's like.. 50. why for the love of god would they even let that go through in the same transaction?
Maybe because the store exists for the sole purpose of selling stuff? What does it matter [to the store] if one person buys 50 items or 50 people buy one item each? It sucks for us dealseekers, but honestly - why should the store care about policing their customers' legitimate purchases. "Sorry sir, we don't want to make that much money off you, please put half of that stuff back on the shelf..." Confused Maybe somebody needs to be PO'ed at the store manager for not ordering enough stock?

Now, as for the people that buy all of the BOGO items except one - they should be chopped into little tiny pieces with a very dull knife. Evillaugh

Quote from mamaoftwins2 :
can someone tell me where i can find the cranium to go...is it not in the toys section...tia
Somebody already answered your question above, but I have also found a card-like game called Ziggity on the card games endcap for $7.99 or so that is a "Cranium" item...

A Few questions....am I on crack or does the amount of pm's you are allowed change??? b/c i swear like 3 days ago it was a max of 300 and now it's 400...
Happened to me too. I think it has to do with you advancing in rank/status here at SD.

Ok, I got busy with work (four letter word) and Target yesterday....

At store #1, cashier took all my q's, none of which beeped, with no problems. BUT, when two of my T q's wouldn't scan, she keyed in the numbers. It would have been fine, except one of those was for something spicy. When she saw the discount ring in, she looked at it odd and adjusted the q to $1. The bad news, she noticed and adjusted it. The good news, she adjusted it without turning on her light. EEK!

At store #2, my jedi cashier told me he got a new job for the summer. BooHoo, I'm so sad. The good news, he will still be at T on weekends! Cool I just LOVE this kid. He is as cute as any young girl could want them to be - HOT as my DD would say - and SO nice. As soon as he saw me unloading my cart, he asked if I brought my coupons with me. Said he'd never seen someone do as well with coupons as I could do. Guess I'll just have to try to get to T more on the weekends! laugh out loud

Quote from Thrifty-n-SoCal :
*snip*

I was going to give DD's teacher an end of the year gift, but she didn't acknowledge the beginning of the year gift, Christmas gift or teacher appreciation gift.

The gift bag would have been a "welcome summer" theme with sunblock, razors, Softsoap body wash (grapefruit yummy!) a Barnes & Noble GC and a pair of flip flops.

Oh well, her loss!
Yeah, what is it when the kids get to middle school and beyond - the teachers forget to send even a quick email with a thanks?

I did VERY nice gifts for Christmas - probably worth about $100 each - using stock I got free over the course of time. Everything was top of the line quality, no junk, and I think I got a single one line thank you email - from her only male teacher. This is especially irritating because DD had six teachers at Christmas time. Funny thing, the only other comment I heard about them came from the principal's secretary, who told me the gifts I brought to DD's teachers were the nicest any of the teachers at the school got.

I also did gifts again for Teacher Appreciation, which for us was just the first week in May. So today, the last day of school, I decided not to bother with anything else.

Maybe that's why the one of you who mentioned you teach 12th grade now gets nothing. By that time in kids lives, parents are so tired of teachers who don't even acknowledge gifts that they don't even bother.

When you have a certain number of posts - or reps - you get more PMs.

No. BJ's coupons are for BJ's only, not for any other store. Usually it clearly says it on the coupon. I tossed the booklet I recently received. Just because a coupon indicates MFQ, doesn't mean it can be redeemed anywhere. Some are promotions just with certain stores.

Of course, you can always be the guinea pig and try and report back to us.

Actually, they just recently Mad changed the LOCATION of the wording "redeem at BJ's only" because from what I've HEARD on previous coupons you were able to "pull a CVS Pantene Q"...if you know what I mean....:wink:

Hey and Doublesided....not much "P" word talk this week! Yahoo! Dance13 Dance14

And slightly on topic - had a couple good runs at local T's the other day.

First run - got lots of groceries and some toys. When I got to checkout I had a difficult choice but went with who I hoped would be an accommodating cashier. Made some smalltalk and started to feel confident that I had chosen well. All of a sudden another cashier walks up and says to the first, "do you want me to take back over now?" It turns out my first choice was just covering the register for girl #2 while she went to do something else!?!?!? So now I have BOTH of them standing around checking me out EEK! one scanning, one bagging. The total pops up ($12x or so) and I hesitantly pull out my Q's. Girl #2 looks at me kinda funny and then blurts out, "Oh, you're the coupon guy! I remember you - you always got lots a coupons!" At this point I remember her from the Glade Candle GC deal (she was very good to me and my MANY transactions) and start forking the coupons over with a big sense of relief (and wishing I had carried in more coupons). Total came down to $5x and girl #1 says, "That's good, but nowhere near as good as the other lady from the other day - she had a couple hundred worth of stuff and paid like 30 bucks." LMAO
This store used to be soooooo hard to find a good cashier at - I am very happy they have hired some "competent" people. Teehee
(for sweetsouthern - Northlake, look for the big black lady with blonde cornrow hair)

Second run - different store, different day. DW (shopping with me for the first time on a real BIG haul) & I went to re-stock the fridge that died last recently (thanks C4 and others!!!). We went on a Monday night around 6pm EEK! Loaded up the cart with groceries, deli stuff and assorted other "neccessary" items. When I entered the store, I saw a good cashier from the other day but when I was ready to check out with my massive pile o' swag he was stuck at the 10 items or less lane! Mad I flipped a coin and got in line with the tired looking girl. Total before Q - $22x, after Q's $7x.21 - paid 7x with GC, paid $0.21 in cash Whee. As we were leaving the cashier commented to my wife how much money we saved and I got major hubby points for "shopping so well" and DW even paid for dinner out afterwards. Grin
