Get a tote and open all your scotchbrites and dump em in. Saves a ton of room.

As for the 3 yr old girl, dress up clothes and the shopping cart/play food are great ideas. My DD just turned 4 and she got a shopping cart for her 3rd xmas and still loves playing it. Crayola outside stuff is good too. Sidewalk chalk, bubbles, a play cash register...
Yep! My 3YO has been begging me for the 3D outside chalk. She even asked me if I had a coupon for it. Not yet, but when I do I'll buy it. laugh out loud

Hey Firestar. I always hand them a bag, tell them I have 5 total, could they just scan them, and say "I don't need bags for them, I don't want to waste the bags" or something to that affect. Then they don't look at me so strangely. laugh out loud kwim?
I tried that after the first time the girl was like what?, and then they don't bag them, but they still swipe! laugh out loud I think your plan is right however, get more bags than they won't want to swipe that many times!

My Jedi in my now favorite store was on duty today, and good thing because more of my coupons beeped than expected. The Neosporin beeped, it is 992 I looked later, and both my Stayfree beeped (2 - $2/2), I can understand why the second one beeped, but not the first. Then of course my Target $5 off the stayfree, and Neosporin beeped. My last two goodlife beeped, since he didn't do quantity. Maybe I should teach them quantity! laugh out loud I had other unexpected beepers, but don't remember which ones now. This cashier is great, I have never seen a cashier scan the coupons that fast and not miss one single one. I think I am in heart.

I haven't done this deal, but in the past, I have waited until they have handed the large object back to me and said I have (3) more bags, also. Maybe that way will help. Then they have scanned and can't scan again. Just catch them before they ring the next item up. HTH

That is good, that made me laugh out loud, because it is true! And you know what is really funny, I am wearing a short sleeved really cute white hoodie from the Juniors section that has a picture of the planet earth in a heart and across that it says "Go Green" that I just recently purchased from Target with some of my Pantene Giftcards! You gotta love it!

Oh that is good thinking, I am trying that plan next time!

When I went to Target the other night, not when I was doing the Sheba deal of course. The girl did quantity on my H&S bottles, I had six. I had all laying on the belt, why oh why didn't I have goodlife to. This is a very strict store now, so I didn't get any Sheba or Goodlife as I didn't want the beepers. I don't know which H&S she scanned (I had all different kinds) and what quantities she entered, but it got messed up. I wondered why all my Target H&S peelies beeped one or more items missing when at least two should have been beep free. I used three and all beeped. Well somehow looking at the receipt later, I see in all her quantity method the girl missed counting one bottle. This still does not explain why the first peelie beeped, but does explain the second. This is the store where just 2 or 3 weeks back all my MQ H&S's beeped, but all the Target scanned fine (and I used three that time as well). Now the MQ's are scan free, but the Target coupons beep. These updates change day to day, maybe minute to minute! Big Grin

Hi megnsamsgrace, I have tried your trick 3 times with trying to get the Goodlife scanned as a quantity, so that the MQ's don't beep. I guess they think it is just a light weight bag of cat food, so they just scan it 3 times anyway when I say I have three of them. One girl actually looked at me and said OK kinda strange, like you have other heavier things on the belt. Hello! laugh out loud

I guess I am going to have to try 5 bags at once with the last of my coupons, so the cashier won't want to swipe the bag five times. I never did get the dog food, which would make sense to enter as a quantity, because I don't have any animals that like that kind. I have outside cats that love the Goodlife, so I saved my coupons for them. I just wanted to see all those coupons go through as a beepless run.

Also I don't know about anybody else, but I am sick of those last Sheba Target coupons beeping, it is less trouble to get 2 cans instead of 4 even with 2 BOGO free, because you have less beeping coupons and less scrutiny.

So today I got 3 bags of food, and two Sheba cans and had two less beeps at least.


I am sorry.. once you get the cashier to do it.. boy is it nice NOT having beeps Smilie

Thanks!! Hoping to stock up on some root beer for when my 16 year old comes for the summer!! Smilie



I never printed this one and don't see it on any of the sites, otherwise I'd print it and let you know! hug


OT: Those that collect the pampers gifts to grow points. What do you do when you try entering a code a million times and each time it isn't valid because the printing on the container sucks and you can't tell the difference between a d and an o and a v and a u! Mad I have a stack of wipes containers that I can't do anything with because I can't figure out the stupid codes!!
omg I thought I was the only one! I inputed 92 codes from wipes (had 29 packs of 3 refills and 1 pack of 5 refills), as well as 30 codes from diapers yesterday. *whew!*
all I can say was it got to be a strain on the eyes, especially the ones on the wipes. I had to take breaks every 20 minutes or so before continuing. laugh out loud

after finally finishing, ordered me a coupon for a FREE pampers. donated 10 of my points to that vaccine thing for kids, and still have a few points leftover to work up again with more pampers. nod

Oh that is OK, I am glad you figured it out, such a neat trick for a beepless run. I just have to teach my cashiers quantity, or like posted wait till they hand the bag back, and quickly before they scan the next item, say oh I have 2 more or whatever. My luck they will probably say could you let me see that bag again! laugh out loud

They won't tell them that they bought fraudulent q's, but if Ebay pulls all the listings, they will reimburse the buyer. They just don't give specifics as to why the listing was pulled.

Ebay only pulls current ongoing auctions, they do not reimburse anyone, as there is no purchaser in that circumstance. If they remove the listing they will just notify the bidders (sometimes) that the auction was removed. Ebay never pulled those listings, they all sold and all still show in completed's, those buyers would never be told a thing by Ebay.

That's going to be insane. I bet smart start will be included. Free cereal + GC. Hubby is going to freak. I have around 40 boxes here already. Let the games begin.

Pampers looks lame.
