I don't know if I even want to post this, but, MFH & that OP are right - this IS a different one (9856-0112-6340-1982-0846-4821-32) as far as I can see. It has different numbers than the first one (9856-0112-1063-6489-0183-6821-34).
I think the problem was a lot of us were skimming the posts and your post was mixed in with another issue. Then, it just said, "look at this" and the link. If you had put in "Here's another $5 TQ for diapers/wipes." or something like that, it would have grabbed most of us skimmers.
SKIMMING is the key to keeping up with the DEALS thread. Most of the time, we are glad when important things are requoted and reminded.

Sometimes I'm skimming along and read a post someone else has quoted but that I've sworn I've never read before, so I backtrack-- only to find out I just skimmed right over it.

Luckily this is the lounge, so I can post away w/o "ruining" it.
It'll be alright. I hate having a bad run, too, but remember, it's just Target, after all.... not the end of the world.
That being said, IMHO, if everything really was "legit", then I wouldn't have necessarily high-tailed it after she mentioned AP. By doing so, you might have made yourself look more "guilty" than you really were. What's the worst AP can do? Give you 20 lashes w/a wet noodle for using an expired TQ?
Hope you have a better run next time... and maybe at a different Target.
to be honest, with scrutiny such as that, i would have just left instead of trying to 'fix' the gatorade issue. not every run goes exactly as planned and sometimes you have to 'eat' part of your transaction and either a) let it go or b) make a return. this is particularly true of ymmv coupons, which the gatorade coupon is - being that it is expired and most often used on the incorrect size. $5/$50 is also ymmv as it is expired.
that said, for something as minor as an inexpensive gatorade, i'd have just paid and not made a scene over it. (and not tried to do any returns, especially not then and there
had you done the same thing - you may not have had to worry about AP getting your plate #.
not trying to be mean or anything, but hopefully you learned something from this experience. and just for the record.. i'd avoid going back to that store again anytime soon if i were you.

I skim at times myself if I'm way behind, like lately
I enjoy reading and helping out in the T thread...love seeing all the good deals gotten

On another note, I am not advocating coupon abuse with the new q - I was actually hoping it would eliminate the beepage, but, it will probably still beep b/c the current deal is using TWO current TQ's AND an expired one, so IMHO, the current deal is is NOT legit either, which is why lots are getting shot down. So, new q or no, the whole deal is very YMMV and I think we should prob. be careful with attacking one another while we are living in glass houses. MTCW, of course.
As for "attacking", if you are referring to me, I did not "attack" anyone. I was simply trying to send a strong message out to some people not to try and use ALL these coupons on the diaper deal. We all know damn well, someone would come on and see there are now 4 different diaper coupons and they will go out and try to use them all. Yeah, they might get a jedi to push it through. Then they'll come on here and post that they were able to use them all, which another SD'er will read and think "oh great, I can use all 4 coupons" and they will go out and try it and probably get shot down. Which will then cause the next SD'er that goes through that line, to have all their coupons scrutinized.
There has just been WAY too many stories lately of people's coupons getting scrutinized, AP being called over, cops being called, and the list goes on....

Well that didn't last long--courtesy of TRU free thomas train thread, link now indicates that the coupon is no longer valid
Oh, and I was just getting it to RAOK to someone here who doesn't have a TRU anywhere nearby.

Do you think a Target run will make me feel better?

I thought you were just pointing out that someone was rep-whoring on the backs of Target posters again
