Thought I would bring the scissorsofgold convo over here, I got an email from him tonight after posting here! (coincidence?) that they shipped today, we will see. I won't hold my breath on that one.

I have lots of food stockpiled so we wont starve for at least 2-3 months! You can PM if you want.. just thinking ahead as who the heck knows whats going to happen
Try craigslist - there are plenty of "local" buyers who would be happy for a good deal. Do the deals in person (bring your SO along for safety, or meet in a public place) and accept CASH only. When you meet with the buyer, call the # on the back of the gift card and verify the balance via speakerphone so both of you can agree that everything is as it should be. Then hand over the card and take the cash. Makes for VERY low risk transactions (for BOTH parties). Either that, or use one of the gift card "trading" services available on the web. HTH.

Quote from smrtshppr42 :
You can't take your kids to Target? I take mine every week. Seriously, stop making excuses and grow a backbone. If there is nothing wrong with what you are doing and you are not neglecting your responsibilities, then tell him to back off and worry about something important. I've been married 25 years and it would be a cold day in hell before my spouse would dictate what I spend my time on.

Remember....you can only change yourself....not him. You either change the way YOU react to his bitching about your slick-dealing, or you just give it up and stop. Don't come in here asking people to tell you how to change your husband, because my friend, believe me, it aint possible.

I'm not trying to be hard on you but this is not an uncommon attitude on here...."oh my husband don't like it, what should I do? He won't LET me stockpile anymore."" When did women need permission to do something that can potentially generate income???
to be honest, my dh b*tched at me every time i went shopping. until a few weeks ago i made him go with me.. and once he saw i am only paying pennies or nothing (like i said i was!) now he doesn't say anything about all the stuff i bring home. laugh out loud
he said, 'well it was hard to believe unless someone actually saw for themself what you were really paying.' lol

tomorrow is my 25th birthday. tonight he told me if i learn how to cook and have dinner on the table when he gets home, keep up the house on my own, etc basically learn and DO the housewife skills (which i currently suck at) he'll let me be the SAHM i want to be. so.. uh.. know any good recipes? my cooking skills sure could use all the help they can get. LMAO

Having no experience w/any of this, I'll just butt in here and say, but at least you can sleep at night, and hold your head up high, teaching your kids the right values and not about how to scam their fellow humans and giving all those who actually need assistance a bad name. A clean conscience is worth a lot, I think. Scratchchin

Seriously, how can people who do this live with themselves?

I know I couldn't. . . but then I was raised Catholic, so the guilt would get me everytime. LMAO

She does it cuz the bitch is craaazzzyyyy!! She has gotten caught stealing THREE times that we know of in the last year....and every time she gets caught I laugh my ass off b/c it's stuff that I could be getting her for free at Target if she wasn't such a horrible evil biotch.

Dh and I have been together for over 4 years now, and about 3 months ago she asked him for a *donation* b/c she wants to have another kid.....yes, I'm bitter.

Quote from TargetMagic :
Want to deal with my ex instead? Then I wouldn't have to Pray Teehee
Ha, no thanks...maybe we could set them up...make each other miserable!

Quote from doublesided :
I'm out of TQ so that's good news, did you send me all your pampers, I'll love you forever. I still have a few $2 left that I probably won't even use. My focus is on diapers, clearanced tyson and more bertolli tomorrow. And 2 overage items that we need. And something else I'm forgetting but the list is in my car


speaking of venus, I don't like it but at least I can figure it out. How does the schick intuition work, I'm not getting it and in turn, it's not shaving my legs
Ok....Here's my take on razors....all the women ones suck...give them away and use the guy's!! No kidding I love the men's schick intuition and fusion!

Quote from Tracy66212 :
My youngest three kids are 2, 5, and 6. My husband and I have had 2, yes 2, nights alone in the house since we had them. I go to Target often so that I can have an "outing"! My husband is a big time homebody and could care less as long as he doesn't have to get out of the house.
I agree. I am OFTEN jealous of single moms. They get tax breaks, often qualify for government assistance and healthwave, and most of the time get a buttload of child support. My husband pays (in my opinion) WAY too much in child support from two kids from a previous relationship. Yes, I am definitely bitter about it, and yes, he made the decision and I made the decision to then marry him. We all make our choices I guess. I am sure that his ex doesnt have the money issues that we do. Mad
Sorry for the rant.
Are you sure you aren't married to my dh??? lol He never goes anywhere.....and as long as i get him the cool sh*t he wants he's all about the target and he knows that we *need* to do it in order to live how we would like to live.

It is very frustrating knowing she doesn't have to worry about a food budget or paying rent or other bills etc.....

She also only lets dh get his kids a couple of times a month. He used to have to go to her house to see them but after the whole donation thing i was like uhm screw that shit...it's not happening!

You wanna know the kicker? She has actually talked sh*t about me to dh's mom and sister's about being a bad mother b/c I have to go to work!!! Comments such as dh is ALWAYS watching dd b/c I'm working.

I as well would caution anyone getting involved with someone that already has children. I love my dh and wouldn't trade him for anything but there have been a lot of tears cried and arguments over his kids and his ex. It has gotten ALOT better in the past 6 months but there was a time when I really wasn't sure we were gonna make it. But what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?

Can I ask you, did those Qs scan? My KM is not so Q friendly.
yes they scanned beautifully. I was leary about the large overage too, but each time I went in I had a different cashier and they were all great. Plus, there is a 1.00 q in each bag, and in some bags the q's are stuck together, so I got several bags w/ 2 q's in each one.

For your siggy, you should put in parentheses next to the wipes that the swipers cause the GC coupon to beep, get a different kind. Or no swipers. Something like that
