Has anyone found Joint Juice at Walmart or Walgreens? More importantly, does anyone know the price? I have tons of coupons to use and my Target has not restocked it unfortunately. I think they may stop selling it and it is REALLY helpful to my dd and dh. TIA!!!
I'm not sure about WM, but I know my Wags only carries the multipack, not singles...and I have no idea how much they are...Sorry

WAGs is usually $5.99 or $6.99 for the multipack, and you can only use one of the $1 q's on it, so not great at all. In addition, DH says these (in a can) taste different than the ones I get at Target. I think the JJ website said Sam's might also carry it in my area, but I'm betting it's a 'by the case' price.

I wish I knew what was up with Target not carrying it. Right now, I still have coupons too, but not too many left. And I've stocked up enough that we'll be ok for at least three months, but after that I'm not sure.

DH swears by the stuff, I guess if I can't find more in the next couple of months, I'll ask a store manager to see if they'd consider carrying it, or if they can order it for me.

I know, for example, there's some stuff, to help stop nosebleeds, that I can't get anywhere, but CVS can - and will - special order it for me. Good thing is, it doesn't cost any more than ordering it over the internet - in fact, less, since I don't pay the shipping.

My husband and 16 yr old daughter swear by the stuff too. I ordered 100 coupons, used about 30, and now all of a sudden the shelves are bare. I am NOT a happy couponer!Frown Good idea about asking a store manager to see if they can order it for me - I'm just not sure I want them to know my name!!!

I was able to use the Thomas coupon today..I used it 4 times...2 times in electronics and 2 times in the front..x 2 people.. They did not care one bit how many I used.. I did not realize they were so expensive..My nephews do not like Thomas, so I will probally Craigslist mine. They told me when I called that Thomas was for babies..They are 5 and 7. GF is going to get some more at a different store when she visits her grandma tonite. .72-.85per train is still ok...that is just the tax...

Okay, well I know why so many people get down on using q's! I just got back from my grocer and I saved $5.50 plus will get $2.99 back on a MIR from the heinz 57/lea pearin MIR. but I spent $32. At this store you cannot combine MQ's with store q's. I can do well on certain items sometimes, just not everyweek. Like right now I am can't wait for them to have digiornio back on sale for $3.98 so I can use up a bunch of $1 mq's I have. But for most people only saving $5.50 isn't worth it.

A good thing, kinda happened though. Our store is clearancing out the back to nature macaroni boxes, well 90% of them had 2007 exp dates! but I found 5 good one's and my girls will only eat this brand of macroni and cheese. well I took all the expireds to the front and the gave me the five good one's for free! YAY. sad though cause there won't be any more coming from this storeFrown

I will be in town everyday next week for soccer game, so daily trips to Target! YAY

I find even if I have time to go every day, It might not be the best use of gas, and I have multiple Ts around me within 10miles. Maybe I should just read posts every day and go once a week? Sometimes I end up just peelie shopping.

How often do you all go to T?

Gas is a big issue for me, but when I have to drive to within half a mi of a ST everday of the week, then that no longer factors in. So I haven't been since school got out, But I will be up at school every day next week, I'll probably go do errands further out and hit some different STs, again, only since I have drive that far anyway and I do have errands I have been putting off because of distance, thankfully those errands alos take me right next to other ST'sBig Grin

judiciously shopping around at various stores is the only way to get the best use of my q's.

Lots of people do that in the beginning, get too excited and overdo it. Moderation is best, then you can pig out every once in a while once you've been doing it for a couple of months.

Those $2 garnier family size coupons are fabulous at KM for the trial size, the coupon goes through no beeps and doesn't say it excludes trial size on it. I can just have a small family, can't I? Bought a bunch today with a TGIF $25 GC for $5.xx.

And I still have about 20 more q's, yay for me. DH just asked for itunes cards so I think thats next

Whats the difference...I got the wooden ones... We were able to pick up a Wii Fit today..bounce GF said they had in 3 and have had them for a while The cashier said people just assume they do not have them. She asked if they had them..I will have to try out those coupons at Kmart this weekend. I got a changing table and a matching dresser today for $25..They were out of the bones, but I had got some earlier that day and pick up a couple of DS games to cover up the overage.. Maybe its the state we are in, and thats why I have to pay tax on mine...I did not think I would since they are not MQ..

I know what you mean, but I've been Targeting since the "old days" and usually don't do big runs, very seldom over $130 or so BC. I think it's more that we only have 1 Target in a 60 mile radius and with 3 or 4 of us 'couponing' there, they noticed. So all of us have decided that it's probably better to lay low for a bit and let things calm down. Threats of legal action of some sort have surfaced, and even though I really don't think that's much of a possibility, who needs the hassle? Adding to my Panenten stockpile just doesn't seem worth it, lol.

Hey guys...
We finally heard back from the pediatricians office while I was trying to make dinner...Nothing like making us wait till the last possible minute Mad ..Anyway, they said the results of the Xray showed that the spacing was less than desired/normally seen between the bone plates in a baby of his age and size but that they were NOT fused at this time...So, they will watch him carefully thru the next couple of growth spurts to see what develops and do an MRI/CTscan this time around if necessary instead of an Xray...
I am thankful that he has avoided this diagnosiis for now and praying it continues to remain unfused until he is done growing...I just have to hope that they dont find it later on when the remedy (surgery) would be much more invasive and traumatic for him...Unsure

Thanks for all the prayersheart...you guys are great!!nod
