had a scary experience..i wanted to test the water at my store today since my expireds had been pulled out on friday...anyways just did pampers, pet food,durex,bandaid...all legit coupons..no toy cpn also....when i go to checkout 2 reds come and stand with the cashier talking...i know one of them is GSTL, dont know abt the other one...anyways GSTL leaves and the other guy keeps looking at the screen...when the cashier scans $5wyb he is looking again and again and asks the cashier did i buy the right size and qty..cashier says yes..i didnt get the pampers bagged so he comes and stands at a distance and is looking and counting the pampers..he comes to the cashier and says i dont see the right amount in the cart..at which point i show him the 4 packs of pampers and wipes..he says sorry he just wanted to verify..i called him an a.*****e under my breath...rejected durex, and bandaid..bandaid because it said ultra strips on the cpn.....ok..i pay and go to customer service to get my gift cards combined into 1..another lady walks into the customer service and i can see she has my pamper printable cpns in her hand..she comes and stands there and is seeing what the cashier is doing....after i leave i see from a distance they are all gathered around and talking....

i remembered i had to pick up some shirts for my ds and johnsons buddies..idiot me..went back , picked up the shirts and buddies...go to checkout gstl and lod come and stand there..i give my cpn for buddies knowing it will beep but i have the right product..it beeps, cashier k1 and gstl is like woah, wait did you check why the coupon is beeping..i feel bad for the cashier..she must have got it from her gstl after i left...she first rejects because the pic shows some bottle i didnt have any..i ask her politely to read the cpn..then she says its only for 94c and cpn is $2, we cannot give you money for that..i tell her to adjust the value of the cpn..she says we cannot do it..i say yes you can and show her the letter from the corp..then lod steps in, she reads the cpn like 10 times, and is talking to the gstl saying is this a copy..gstl says it doesnt look like and then she raises to see the cpn and she sees VOID on the paper...i was surprised because these are bricks cpns which i requested in the mail..she shows me that and says its not a valid cpn etc etc..i try telling her it was mailed from johnsons but she says contact johnson...and then the gstl tells me i can only use 1 bcoz it says 1 per purchase..at that point i said thanku a**********e paid for the shirts and left....and then the gstl has the nerve to ask the lod whether we shld go thru her previous purchase and cpn bcoz they might have said 1 per purchase..the lod says no she already paid for it but it is a learning experience for us...WTF..all the while i was standing there...they will so hear from corporate...

can someone tell me why does the bricks cpns say void on them...

Wow, you dealt with a bunch of idiots today. It says void because if you copy the coupon the void shows up nice and clear....it's a watermark to prevent copying. I guarantee if you call bricks they will confirm this...make sure when you call corporate you explain the stupidity of their managers to them.

They should know about it, I'm sure they all received a memo, sounds weird that she asked you. I wouldn't say anything.
It is annoying but we know that we're using the right one. It just won't be easy to use it on groceries any more, we'll have to have toys until this passes. Hopefully will die in a month or so once people know that they can't use the altered one anymore. Here's for hoping


Hey stormycat, hows bathtime going with munchkin? Is he feeling better?

I have found a new love in junk food. The Oreo Cakesters! OMG...I heart them! I had the regular with vanilla creme first and they are delicous. Tonight I tried the chocolate creme center and they're ok, but not as yummy as the reg. vanilla cr.

They are $2.79, so 3 durex will cover a box. But there's always mq's out there for nabisco.
Your line of thought cracks me up@!!!

Head & shoulders peelies that are bogo, they were red and on the big bottles, they are Target peelies.

and I just found out about them yesterday!

I also have been cheating on Target lately with Kmart and even CVS!
I cheat on CVS with Target. Shhhh.

No, summer classes are always better! Even the hard classes (I have a minor in math). They say summer is harder but it never is! I loved summer classes.

Oh yeah! I got about 1/4 of my undergraduate classes and 1/2 of my master's classes in Summer classes. Plus the teacher always lets you out early!!! They rock. More time for shopping and planning deals then.

I am SO glad that my stores have restocked Joint Juice!!!! Smilie I was starting to get worried that they weren't going to carry it anymore!!!!
Bad news - my Tyson coupon beeped "item not found" today. This has never happened to me before and yes, the barcodes matched up. Has this happened to anyone else? My awesome cashier K1ed it, but I still hate beeps!
I really must start doing the diaper deal more. I don't know what my problem is. I have done at least 5 runs this weekend and I just keep getting random stuff.
For anyone in the KC area, the Oak Park store has Capri Sun for $1.27. I probably have 40 boxes. I really must stop buying it. I have SO much Capri Sun, pop, and Joint Juice we shouldn't have to buy drinks for at least a year.

Sorry you had a bad exp. It sound like you are a marked woman at your store Frown and it doesnt appear to me that you did anything to crazy to deserve that kinda treatment. When you went to cs to combine your gc's, they may have thought you were returning something you bought with q's a common scam that unfortunatly happens allot and retailers are well aware of it...therefore we see allot of scrutiny with totally legit runs ext/returns ext. My advice would be to lay low try another Target they may forget you in a bit and even tho you didnt do anything wrong It really doesnt make for a pleasent shopping trip with the reds breathing down your neck. On a side note even if I forget something I never go back in But thats just me Try shopping when its busy next time Saturdays are good that way the lod and cashiers will be so busy they wont have time to bother with you.... Jmo It will get better ..hug

Hey stormycat, hows bathtime going with munchkin? Is he feeling better?
He loves his bath now, or as I call it, want to go play splashy splashy

He seems to have perked up a little, but my oldest is back from his dad's so they have been playing like crazy. I am going to give it a few more days and see how it goes.

On the bad note, it was the Vlasic 1.00 off q that I had a problem with, does anyone have the original link or info? thanks
Had a great impromptu run last night that turned out great, but had a really bad exsperience that left me in tears at Acme (my grocery store), and will be contacting someone regarding it

I just typed my email, I am considering calling the store manager as well. I am sure she will be expoecting me to call, it was quite a scene.

Long story short they were going back and forth on wether or not they take IP's and it just escalated. At the end I had 7 employees standing around me, and I was humilated and had my oldest son with me too. All over a jar of relish for 1.00. We will see if I hear anything from them. Our super walmart will be opening soon, if so I will do all my grocery shopping there as they take q's no problem

But I did have a great Target run and got the otehr 2 clearanced food things for the baby. I also got some good coupons at CVS, found more of the Phys formula 6.00 off, would have been great for last weeks sale at Kmart

Ok today I have to list some stuff on Craigs list and ebay (God I hate unexpected bills) and fix all my coupons and get some ready to mail out to a bunch of you guys,
