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!
As soon as I read the post about the toy coupon decided against it. Too much working against me for a run at that store and too late to make it to another store. I have a work call tomorrow 11-12 as soon as it's over I'm going to head out.

Thanks for rubbing it in about the food sets, I'm bumming. Must find them.

Lucky I joined blockbuster rewards today with my erewards points so now I have a free movie to watch tonight.

Some of the GC were left over from Pantene deal. And I keep including as much overage as possible in my runs so I'm not spending a lot. I have had a few lately that didn't go as planned but then a couple where my OOP is lower than expected so cancels that out.

Hubby is the same way but with smaller stuff. He'd love me to use the dvd coupons I printed, his favorite day is when I come home with DVD's. I always forget or don't have time to match barcodes. When they came with me Sat I got 2 xtra sets of batteries for the noisy books, Logan loves those

I always tell everyone to suck it up when they are trying to get away with non legit q's and get attitude but I'd call on that one. That's BS, you had legit q's and did nothing wrong
Quote from schnauzermomma :
I agree! Not only were you using legit q's, you were using them the legit way! That is just ridiculous. shake head



There is a cashier at a CVS store that treats me like a criminal every time I'm there. Yesterday, I finally had it out with him. Today, I approached the manager and told him that if I was doing something wrong, to please correct me. Either correct me, or correct the cashier for how he was acting. If I were treated like that at Target after doing nothing wrong, I think I'd go to corporate on the store.
Thanks both of you giving me advice. Which way should be better to report what happened at that store? I know at least 2 of other SDs hate that store.

I didn't post it since the other terrible run happened at CVS on same day, but it's what happened. Make long story short, SS who worked my transaction didn't scan one of free Qs ($1x.xx value Q) and adjusted ECBs about $1 w/o asking me. I went back to store to ask about the free Q. When I asked her that she didn't scan my Q, she yelled (really yelled) and said I didn't give her the Q. EEK! She finally took Qs that I gave her from drawer and the Q was there. Even she saw that she kept saying I didn't give that to her. EEK! I pointed out that if I didn't give that to her, that shouldn't be in her drawer. She then yelled at me again I didn't pay anything and got everything free. I spent more than $20 ECBs at that time. She was upset and kept yelling at me that I got all items free. All the people in that store was looking at me since she made me like shoplifter. Mad She finally decided to give me cash for Q amount, but almost throw the cash to me. She almost cursed me during the argument.OMG I was thinking to email corp., but decided to tell manager, who is my fav. and super nice, what happened when I see him.
How did your manager handle that situation?
I started Ranting again when I saw your post regarding CVS.

I posted this in the main thread and got no sympathy.Frown
Just wanted to know if anyone else had this happen...

Grrrrrrr........so mad right now. Did a run at my favorite T and had to abandon my cart for the first time. My jedi wasn't there, so I pick a young girl. I'm using all legit coupons, but she doesn't even get that far. I have 3 sets of diapers and wipes, so I hand her the GC q's first. She tells me I can only get 1.
LOD that knows me, and has approved many coupons I have used before, comes over and tells her its fine. So starts ringing up second and third GC q's. LOD comes back over and says "Its one per transaction." I say "What? You've never said that before." LOD calls over the "security guard." I'm sooooo sure. Like she has any clue. She's like "I don't see anything wrong with it." Great, lets keep going. Then LOD says he's calling the MOD. Sigh. Fine, I'm not doing anything wrong. Nowhere on the coupon does it state "one per trans."
So I wait...and wait..and wait. Now I'm getting pissed. FINALLY MOD comes over and says "Targets' policy is one manufactureres coupon and Target coupon.." to which I interrupt and say "per item. I have THREE, using three coupons." She says "And you can only use on set of coupons per item, per transaction." WHAT? I'm like, no way, that can't be right. She says "That's why it took me so long to get out here. I was on the phone with our corporate offices and that's what they said. So you can't like buy 15 of something and use 15 coupons." I say "I DONT HAVE 15 OF ANYTHING." She says "I know, but I'm illustrating a point." To which I say "Fine, well, I'm not digging stuff out that I have more than one coupon for so I'll just leave it all." Then I asked her name, and left.
I really felt like they treated me like a criminal and I'm MAD.

Update: Called corporate and the girl was very nice and apologized and said she would call the store and straighten them out, and then call me back. She did and apologized again. I feel like going back and asking for the manager that I talked to, and pointing out that she was WRONG, and I might just go find 15 of something to buy, just to use 15 of the same coupon!

I've always wondered, just how many zeroes in a bajillion? Confused

Hi all! I don't post over here. I want to share the new pic of my G'Baby that was born on 2 June. They're in Japan and I can't wait until they come home for vacation. Babies are love hughearthug

I have to say I'm Annoyed over the altered Toy coupon as much as everyone. What is this about a pet coupon that PrincessKelleye posted? Haven't heard about that oneConfused Why do people have to ruin perfectly legit coupons by doing stupid stuff like that ? Head Bang

I'm hoping this doesn't screw up the diaper coupons as well...I have lot's of stockpiling to do for the little guy. nod We do have the original posts of the diaper coupons with the URL's so maybe we should put those in WIKI so people can print to have. Thoughts please?

Aw, thanks, stormy_cat! hug A little envie of goodies... I love a good mail day. Have a good walk to the PO tomorrow. Hit Kmart on your way there - bring your $5 Barbie/Hotwheel peelies for some toys or overages.

Did anyone find the tearpad of $1 off any Nabisco Q????? I would love to trade my huge stack of Qs for some of these.

awww congrats! such a cute picture Smilie

I think the pet Q was maybe the Iam's one - get a $5 GC when you buy a bag and cans (I think - not sure how it was exactly worded)

I'm not exactly sure how many zeros are in bajillion but I am guessing 50 at the least. laugh out loud I only had 100... but not anymore.Cool

Also I wanted to add that I went to Target with my couponing SIL and there was a really nice asian lady behind her that was super curious about all of her coupons. She kept asking my SIL "Oh, what that coupon for? Oh, what that coupon for?" Then when she handed over the durex $5 coupon she said "Oh, what that coupon for? Oh. I sorry. I sorry." It was so funny. I probably would have done the same thing in her situation. She was probably wondering "What!?! Where the hell did she get a coupon for a d--do?!?!"
