Have you seen any good potty training books? I just see that one with the hole in it which doesn't look too exciting.
Not sure if Target carries it, but the best potty training book, at least for #2, is called 'Everyone Poops' or 'Everybody Poops'. Last year, this subject came up on the BS thread, and I wasn't the only experienced mom to rave about it.

Very cute book!

For those of you who are thinking of buying the Crayola Super Brush thing, save your $$. Or, should I say 'Save your GCs' Big Grin My kids are 6 1/2 and 3 and are now using them to play in the hose. They had fun with it for about 10 mins. The chalk/paint doesn't spread out onto the sidewalk/cement like you would think.

When you go to post just click on the "paperclip" button that is just to the right of the "smilie" button. Then hit browse and find the file on your computer that you want to be added to your post and the thread. You can remove them later if you wish.

I hate KM. Only going there 1x a week to check on bones for megnsamsgrace.

Let me know if you see any new ones at T

Anything DH asked for already he pretty much has received. I still have quite a few things on the overage list but I just keep pecking away at them. And he keeps adding more. He asked for grass seed, brought home 4 bags. Asks for light bulbs, brought home 5. Etc etc. We don't need a TV or that big stuff.

Could use a new roomba but I'm waiting for another GC deal on it, seems like it cycles every 6 weeks or so.

I know you said you hate kmart but it was just posted in their thread that people are getting the roomba 405 for $30. plus there are lots of ways to get overage at kmart.

Another way to post pics is to host them on flickr or a site like that (photobucket, etc) and then post a link here Smilie

You have to time it right and go 1st thing in the morning of the 75% off. I did that last year and after Xmas. Was able to scope out the items I wanted ahead of time. Still, there were many people around with carts and carts of toys.

Target is about 5 minutes from work and I would go every morning to see when it would hit 75%. That's how they recognized me. Big Grin Frown
I have been to T soo many times right after work!! I am usually very tired, but one time I was soo delirious!! I was staring at the candy for like 10 mintues!! It was right after easter and all the candy was tripping me out! The colors were too much! I couldn't differentiate between the types laugh out loud I am sure I was quite the scene!! I know that was the first time the under cover security guard followed me around laugh out loud I was just wondering around, trying to find all the good stuff, but was really soo lost! I am for sure the morning shift will never forget me. I am sure I looked like a cracked out person!! laugh out loud

Update to my Acme problem. I spoke with the store manager by phone today, who was very nice and apologized profusely for the situation. She is still getting back to me on the acceptance of internet printed coupons.

But she did pull the security tapes and saw how everyone was just standing around me and pointing and talking and agreed it was totally embarasing for me. She said she took down names and will be speaking to them on how to go about solving a problem, and that there is a gift card at Customer Service waiting for me.

She is going to call me back about coupons and I am satisfied with how things are progressing.

Good for you!!!! I would have her sent you the GC, instead of going in to pick it up. Why spent the gas $$$?

Yaaa, sounded like a GC situation. I hope they're nice to you when they go in. If not, tell Ryan to puke on the ladys shoes or projectile spit his chicken nugget. Mine would do it.

I want that damn PB&J set and the other ones, they sound so cute. I didn't get to T at all today cause of stupid work and now stupid hubby. If I go this late, it has to be to the non coupon friendly target and I'll pay full price as would be difficult to get overages. Must decide in next 5 min or definitely can't go

I was at Target and saw that at EVERY register they have a sign saying that they can not take EITHER of the $5/$25 coupons due to tampering.

Good job to the scammers out there... ruining good deals for everyone!

You've got to be kidding me. That sucks, I use that coupon every trip. I'll kill the loser that did this. Morons. Someone should find the originator of that email chain and turn them in

Oh I want to go back there, just to prove that they didnt scare me off. Plus I need more free marinade. She also said if they decide to take the coupon in question they will still honor the sale price.

She was very nice and professional and acknowledged that their behavior was unacceptable. The fact that she pulled the security tapes to see what exactly happened was reassuring. She was very nice and proffesionally.

Oh and Double, I opened the new Mac and Cheese set and Hot Choc set, and he playd with them and the PB&J for an hr again and didnt want to play with anything else! I love these toys! But be careful there are small pieces and a sharp little fork. I took the fork away and supervised with the small things.

Usually whenever I make a late run it doesnt work in my favor.

Oh and Double you can get married again for Target Registry coupons if you want, told my hubby about your GC's and he was spending them in his head, and why couldnt I be more like you!
