Ok - Listen up!!

I was out feeding my flowers this morning and found the oldest coupon I have ever seen!! The expiration date was 12/31/2000. Yes, my Miracle Gro was THAT old!!! BUT, it still works (so I think :-)

Anyhoo - after laughing at myself for being excited that I found a coupon inside a box of Miracle Gro that had to be old as dirt, I had an idea. bulb

What if we had a contest to see who could come up with the oldest coupon???

Here's how it works - [already checked with the Mods so we're good to go - have fun with it!]:

Whoever posts the oldest coupon, that is, the coupon with the oldest expiration date, wins a Target gift card - sponsored by me. I'll even take my own coupon out of the running Smilie

RULES:
- All coupons must be posted to this chit-chat site by next Saturday, 7/12. [you might want to pm me to let me know you posted].
- All posted coupons MUST have their barcode altered in some way.
- If you are unable to scan and upload please mail your entry to me so that I receive it by next Saturday, 7/12. PM me if you need my address.
- I am not responsible for lost or late entries.
- I will compile all entries on Sunday and the winner will be announced on Monday, 7/14, here in this thread.
- The coupon with the oldest expiration date wins a $5 Target Gift Card that will be mailed on Monday, 7/14.
- In the unlikely event that we have multiple "oldest expiration dates", a winner will be randomly drawn from those entries. I will have Pretzels draw the winner from a hat.

Ok - now go search your garages and everywhere else and find those old coupons!!!

woot Have fun!! woot
Wow great idea I have some really old ones My grandfather gave me his box of coupons these things are really old cardboard like paper most have No expiration date or Barcode lol i will try to upload some pictures these things are fosils.. but i bet some of em still work.. Cool sadly back then the manuf. gave you like 15cents off cereal instead of .50 cents or 1.00 so it would do us much good now.. hmm now to find those..

Well I wont be around for a bit. We went back up with the 4 kids. The 2 older ones got to say their goodbyes and the 2 little ones fell asleep on the family couch. The dr (crying I might add) told us he was dying and to get in there. He did pass away around 2am with my 2 older kids, my DH and I, my MIL, my SIL and their Pastor by his side. He is at peace now. I am so grateful for my wonderful coworkers who just went beyond tonight to help us (they came and stayed with the 2 little ones while my FIL passed). Thanks for the prayers. Now to try and explain this to the 2 younger ones when they wake up tomorrow.

Ok, I live in the city, it is 12:45 am here, and these idiots behind us are still setting off fireworks. They've been at it since 9:00! EEK!

These are the same idiots that were shooting off aerials, but not shooting them up in the air! They were shooting them sideways, so the would shoot straight out, instead of up!! And these weren't little bottle rockets, these were ones that exploded 3 times!!! All the while, their kids are running around the same area!!! Head Bang Head Bang
When the neighbor's kids were much younger, they let their boys do this outside with no adult supervision. Literally every holiday I ended up calling the police. To this day, the dad is civil, the mom hates us and the kids are just getting worse along the way. Sadly, I doubt these boys will ever leave home.

Does anyone know what phone number to use to call Target regarding their coupon policy, if say I wanted to call on my cell from the register?
fyi, i know ppl getting pissed about coupons, i think tarjet ( i work there) needs to have better communication flow with team members about what can and cannot be taken.

Then again, we all know there are a lot of people abusing these coupons whether legally or illegally( $1 cpn on 0.95) travel size product. But lemme tell ya what I heard happened yesterday.

Someone and their son came in with a cart full of crest whitening strips returning them w/o reciept Wink that used a debit card (sys does not show any cpns applied) and we all know that there has been coupons netting a huge chunk of change off the price if not making them free and got back $1600 OMG in one outing. Target has a return policy, I think of anything under $40 doesn't need reciept (prolly b/c of the onetouch monitor scams (free glucose monitor after cpn and returning those $80).This is taking Slick deal to the ultimate extreme!

Greed is going to bring the demise to all of us SD'ers and its gonna be ppl like this thats gonna have all ya'll complaining when they don't take coupons when they have no choice but to prevent loses like this. Screwing big business is gonna screw us all in return when their gonna have to jack up the prices to cover against such loses.

SO, if anyone has any complaints about compliance just read our own postings and see how many ppl have been taking advantage of the system (100 packs of goldfish for $10 (ex)) and just realized that the our personal greed is who you should be mad at and not Target or any company for restricting (how ever severe) the abuse of the system which is suppose to stimulate business instead of gross abuse.

WT hey?? I don't think using the $1 band aid coupon on trial size is a legal issue since it states on any size. Returning $1600 worth of white strips- can they even resell those? The nerve of some people. OMG

Yea, I'm not some corporate overseer or anything and love a deal as any would (dr. pepper 3/$5 with free ice cream AC and all the Glade wisp free AC w/free $5 GC) but if you have been with SD long enough ya'll know how abusive we can be, not to mention all the other leachers who just view and never post on these forums.

Am I missing something ?
(1) Any retail stores will take items back with original receipt in certain time (30-90 days), especially no cpns used.

(2) Not many stores will take return without receipt. Target will only allow 2-3 return (<$20) without receipt per year.

Seems target should work on its systems (return & coupons) rather not allow its own coupons.
