I feel that my Target analyzes coupons very closely. Walmart SC is much easier. Actually, the first day I used the coupon, the Dasani was $4.98, the next day it was $4.48 and today it rings up at $3.98.......the more I buy, the cheaper it gets! bounce Now I'm going to get a few of the Diet Coke 8 packs of bottles. $3 = FREE after coupon!!Big Grin
I totally understand your reasoning for not trying at your Target. Heck, I better go see if my Walmart lowered the cases down from $4.98! I got a lot at WM and T the week of the coupon. Everyone mentions 8 packs, I don't think we have them in our region, but I will look soon.

Quote from ArielA :


BTW~~ Jen (I think) was right about The Strangers!!! F'ing SCARY!!!!!!!! I was practically in my hubby's lap!! No screaming, but many heart attacks!!!!
I want to see "The Strangers" so badly, but DH is being a wimp and claims no interest in suspense thrillers! I'm going to have to go with a gal pal next week. And it will be at night, and then we'll have to walk out into the dark, alone. And I'll probably be scared driving home...LOL!

On another note, I went to Target today, but nothing really new to say to clog up the deals thread. But I feel like I should say I went...LOL! My son just moved out and he needs like everything. Today's order was a microwave and other stuff. I got that, some kitchen supplies, bathroom stuff like shower curtains, bath mats, trash cans, etc. Ziploc bags, plastic wrap, foil, paper plates, just a bunch of loot. BC was $141.86 AC $77.26, so not too bad. Main overage was Gatorade, MP Mexican, Fur Fighters and the $5/50's, $3/15 Party, you get the idea.

This was the first time I tried the Fur Fighter, and got refills of course. I had 3 of them. When she got to the TQ, she K1's the first one, then when she scanned the 2nd Q she got confused, and then investigated. Saw the $4 MQs that she had scanned, and thought maybe I shouldn't use the others, then she saw they were only $4.99 and she said she had to ask someone. I was ready to be denied, but the LOD came over and said "what's up?" By then the MQ was buried and the TQ was on top and the LOD said how many did I get, I said 3. She told her just to K1 them. So somehow the $4 TQ was scanned 4 times, so I got the normal overage plus an extra $4! I'll probably never get it K1'd again, but I'm glad I did with this order!

I'm wondering if I should get a cat now. I have Fur Fighter sheets and the reviews are great. I also have a new TidyCat Breeze litter system, hmmmm.

I got that same thing on my receipt. It said amount towards deal 19.80, amount needed 19.80. That is confusing me because I only got one bounty/charmin deal last week and it was over 20.00 and I got the ECBs, so I am not knowing where this 19.80 amount came from??

You're Welcome of course! The only BOGO's I have used there so far are the Max Factor ones (which I bought most of the same KIND of makeup and they auto adjusted).

I am so sorry! I had to rush off to work and didnt really get to get online!


Okay.. tomorrow is THE day.. no ifs ands or buts about it. Today the state came in and postponed layoffs at my hubbys place. They do NOT want to do layoffs on Friday the 13th so it will be tomorrow. Today they did lay off 3 VPs and 2 admin asst to the President! There will be about 125 tomorrow. My boss said I shouldnt worry.. but I worry about DH. Tomorrow I will have an answer. The consultant who took over said he wants to do layoffs ONE time and one time only. I will post as soon as I know
Keep us posted, girlfriend!!! We're all Pray for you!

I am going to see if my Kmart has this..I got my niece the Dora Vanity from Target during the January toy runs..it was 75%off.

I think you meant Kmart right..I went to another one yesterday and no dogbones.. The one with the bones had the wrong cashiers. I guess my girl only works Friday mornings..

That's what my receipt looked like also, and I did get the ecb's. I think my total purchase was actually over $20 though because that's the limit they gave. What is going on at all these stores?!?!?!

The trial size Pedigree is in a cardboard display about knee-high. At my store, it was on the ground at the end of the aisle, behind another display.

How's your DH?



ETA: If you are buy toys at Kmart, there's a $5 off $20 coupon.

They say until 10/31/08 I think, sometime in October Yahoo! And at the theater tonight, they basically told me I could see ANY movie I want, not just a Universal Pictures movie. YMMV for that part of course Smilie
I don't know what these look like but only once have I not let someone use movie cash or something like it for whatever movie they want. The studios don't have any way of knowing what they were used for....we got movie cash like a week ago that said IRON MAN ONLY, and if the people hadn't been so rude when it was pointed out to them by the cashier, I probably would have let them use it for whatever...being nice pays!!!

Quote from hsmom3995 :
Jen,


My van is in the shop but as soon as I get it back we can start to CVS shop. I miss going there and it's not really that far! And they have some great deals. Once I get you going you'll be hooked, just like T! I have about 11 bags of cat food for you too! hug We need to go on a run soon!
Yea, just let me know!!!

Has anyone tried the kashi vive cereal?? I'm having my first bowl and it's pretty good!! It also have 14 g of fiber, so that's almost halfway to 35 for the day lol. I'm gonna look up info on it today but anyone have any tips in a good fiber supplement?

WARNING CVS QUESTION

I'm afraid to ask on the CVS forums because I don't keep up with them like I do at T...so was hoping some of you nice T-folk could help me out.

I read that the Charmin/Bounty ECB deal is still going on this week. Is it still working? Anyone know?

TIA. Grouphug

Although it's labeled 'charmin/bounty' I believe that any duracell batteries count towards the $19.80 this week. So you should be able to buy the $1.00 pack of duracell AA batteries to.earn the ECB.

Even better, if your limit hasn't been reached yet, buy 20 $1 AA duracell batteries and use 20 $1/1 MQs. Smilie

So little one wakes me up at 9:30 (I work nights at work) and I go call DH.. nothing yet. Is that a good thing? Not sure.. then I fall back asleep and wake up at 10:30 in the middle of a FRICKIN dream when DH just called me and said he doesnt have a job and I get on the phone to call his boss.. what an ass I am ! Well, he gets done at 2:30 EST so we should know by then. But I would think if they were pink slipping, wouldnt it be done in the am so they can get all their stuff cleaned out?

Yes, they have movies from different studios, such a "Kung Fu Panda" is a Dreamworks film. Right now our local theaters are offering the following Universal Pictures movies:
Baby Momma
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
The Strangers

On Friday, The Hulk will also be out, but I am seeing that one complements of Kmart woot

CONGRATS on the 700 posts High Five




That is pretty cool!! I would say you are the Cool mom as well Yahoo!
I don't know why the name Kung Fu Panda cracks me up! But this is the second time I have read that name and it made me laugh both times. I need to cash in on my Ponds Peelies. I think I have 10 I found at various stores.

Last week it said there was a limit of 1 for the Bounty/Charmin/Duracell deal, but it's actually a limit of 2. You need to spend $19.80 to qualify for the ECB. Your receipt is telling you that you've already spent $19.80 or more for the first deal, so you need to spend another $19.80 for the next ECB to spit out. Some people are saying that only the Duracell counts toward the deal this week, but I'm not sure. Hope that explains the receipt thing.

I might buy a duracell later to check. Going CVSing, my favorite hobby (sorry Target girls!). I only did the charmin deal 1x last week (well 1x on each card) cuz I have enuff tp and paper towels to last through the next couple of decades so I traded my extra qs for some makeup qs instead. Which I only have enuf for 1 decade, so I figured spread the love.
