Quote from Bargainscout :
I was checking out another forum and they said that their T had posted signs that they would not accept the toy q and the $3/$15 Party Ware Q.

Have y'all seen anything at your T regarding the Party Ware Q?
YMMV but I didn't see this today, only the toy coupon and the photoshopped coupon.

Does anyone know where I can find Huggies Overnights in size 6? They only sell sizes 4 and 5 at my Target and Safeway. The size 5s fit my daughter, but, since she practically lives on liquids, do not always hold everything in at night. She woke up soaked from stem to stern this morning -- poor girl.

Thanks!
They clearanced out the size 6 at all of the stores that used to have them, so they may have discontinued them in that size.


Ok, I had a crappy ass day yesterday and just need to vent. So the brakes started going bad on my car and I swear it was like overnight and they were horrible. I had an appt. for Monday, but they were so bad I didn't feel comfortable waiting another day so found a place that would do it Sunday. took it in for an estimate.....$290.00!! We needed new rotors. I called dh and my brother (went to school for mechanics) they both said it was reasonable price, so get it done. So I pretty much spent all of our money on stupid new brakes and I couldn't justify spending $15-$20 bucks on papers when we're broke as a joke so no p&g q's for me. *sigh*

Work was horrible, rude, ignorant people seemed to be in abundance yesterday. Here's a clue....if you're student id is from like 2005 please don't argue with me when I won't give you the student price. and if it says student price WITH valid id, don't get pissy when I won't just take your word for it. (esp. when you look old enough to be my mom.)

The high point of my day yesterday....I got off work and decided to scope out the paper recycling bin. Found some inserts (no p&g Mad ) Then started to get nervous cuz I'm not sure that digging through bin is ok lol, and I happened to see a target mailer and just grabbed it real fast. It had baby coupons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay for me!!

There are a couple I won't use (formula q's etc...) so if any of the regulars are interested, let me know. Not to be rude, but I would like to help out those who have helped me.

It kind of seems like crappy weeks are common around here this week lol. I extend my sympathies to everyone and the problems there having. I hope this week is better for everyone!!

Hey, has anyone heard/seen firestar?? She seems to be mia.

found some clearance stuff at CVS.
1.25 gardening shoes - faux crocks
.69 Round Up weed killer
1.25 4pk Chef Boy R Dee (Sp?) ravioli, couldn't find my q, but great deal on 4.
There was a lonely bottle of Johnsons baby wash .69 or 1.25. I can't remember exactly. It may have been a return.

OMG please don't say that. I am scheduled to have one next wk and have to reschedule for 2 wks later due to a business trip.
this is scaring me. i am afraid to go as it is. Weeping I am very chicken when it comes to the dentist. i have been putting this off but being diabetic I can't any longer.
Oh, definitely have the root canal, your tooth could die if you don't. All I would suggest, though, is to do everything the dentist says to keep your mouth healthy, and if you start feeling bad (ie like a cold/allergies), don't just blow it off.

I should also have said that when this was all happening, work was CRAZY (where is that crazy man smilie?), we were scheduled to go on vacation and I was working like a MAD woman. I even tried to work through it, getting sick in my trash can in my office between calls. So some of what led up to it being so bad was my stupidity.

As the song says, 'little sister don't you do what your big sister done'.

Quote from SRM :
I do appreciate all of your contributions to this thread. I never said that I didn't appreciate them. I just don't understand your constant need to be nasty to MFH about HER contributions.

I get that they're not 'official vectorized coupons.' Personally, I don't care what anyone wants to call them as long as they scan. I truly don't get it and I've mentioned it several times before. It just smacks of condescension and is rude. Can you imagine if the spelling geeks decided to start posting about people's posts? No thanks!
I guess I've never quite understood how/why some of you get so upset about thrifty's comments. I know I pm'd her with a request to make one once awhile back after the one posted here did not scan, and caused me a bit of embarrassment. I may have even said something, and no one got upset with me.

Quote from stormy_cat :
Baby update

Dr is nto sure what is going on with him, but he needs bloodwork done, checking a blood count, Thyroid, lymes and mono. Should be fun going to get that done. I tried today, went to 2 labs and they were both closed.
Wow, stormy, hug That's tough stuff on the mommy. Good luck.

Quote from doublesided :

People pick on everyone all the time around here for some reason.
laugh out loud I can't even count the number of times someone has picked on me, I do know it can be upsetting, but for the most part I think the folks around here are grand! hug

Definitely the problems have come in more than 3's this time around. I thought things were supposed to turn good once 3 bad things had happened?

May tomorrow be brighter for you! Wink

Oh jeez stormy, they couldn't take the blood in office? That's awful. Hopefully you'll get someone with good bedside manners.

Are you still using the purple pack of huggies overnights or did you move on to pull ups overnights yet?

DH and DS have a new respect for targeting, I dragged them to 3 stores today to/from meeting my mom.

Thrifty-please don't stop posting, some of us can't use the ones that don't scan. My stores will not take a coupon if it doesn't scan, you can't punch the number in. You've been around for a while, don't let a few comments turn you into a lurker. People pick on everyone all the time around here for some reason.
No worries I have a thick skin...I don't feel picked on...it is just ludicrous at how many threads on this board are filled with sh!t for the "sake of helping people out". Well my friend that is my intent, therefore, I will take my time to post a decent q and if is it not workable I call it that and move on.

So sorry if people are offended because I do not mince words. I call it like I see it...now cry me a river, build me a bridge and get over it!

But you can bet your sweet @ss that I won't be spending/wasting time on making multi pp's anymore.

No my office doesnt draw blood, and actually I used to work there so I am in good when anything big comes up.

Oh and still in sz 5 for the overnighters.

Thanks for all you do Thrifty

I am sorry to hear about your brakes! Can't your bro help you replace them yourselves? Replacing brakes is pretty easy (albeit rusty and dirty work) and cheaper if you do it yourself. It sucks when you have to spend lots of money on a car ... I always feel as if it is throwing away $$$.

LOL I am sorry I had to laugh about your student ID comment - I went to college late cause of the kids - in fact just recently finished my Bach and I probably look old enough to be your Mum LOL Please don't take offense I just thought your comment was funny!!!

I hope you have a better week next week!!!!

Jen. sorry for the brake expense. Car repairs suck!

As for the P&G inserts. Have you tried hitting up some gas stations or cenvenience stores on a Monday morning? You might be able to get some from the papers that haven't sold. I went to 5 stores today. One gave me one insert, and another let me have all 8 that were left. One store keeps the papers on the shelf until they come in on Fridays to pick them up. The other 2 looked at me like I had 2 heads and said they couldn't give them to me, but could sell me a paper. Yeah, ok. I might do that. NOT. Anyway, it's worth a shot to stop in and ask.


Stormy....sorry about the lil guy. hug to both of you! Hoping he feels better soon or at the very least, you get some quick answers.

I've found them at Rite Aid - HTH

Also, the Easy Ups became my overnight diaper of choice when I realized that they hold alot more than one would expect and they go on so much easier. Also, they're on sale. Big Grin

DD JUST got potty trained overnight and she's 41/2.

Devilmomma, glad you found the time to hit those gas stations! I TOLD YOU SO! laugh out loud (had to say that) - Can't believe you were PAYING so much weekly for Qs...

I'm glad that I have 2 places weekly that are very friendly about giving me their inserts.

There is one busy gas station that is nearest to me, but the chubby, curly-hair kid-face person (nothing cute in that descriptions) there is a stick-in-the-mud. One friendly gal told to help myself, and he turned around to argue with her. I was there at 9am Monday and the papers get picked up at around 11 am. Then, he had the gall to tell me to come back after 1 pm. Mad Just say "no". Why bother with a white lie?

I think I need coupon anonymous. I have gone to HEB several days in a row just to get the kraft coupons. I have a bunch and should share some, then I think what if i "need" them! There is no way I will eat 30 packs of hotdogs and about that many boxes of wheat thins and salad dressing. One of the staff members asked me today if I needed help finding anything----so told him I couldn't find the coupon I was looking for. He went to the back and came out with a whole tearpad for me. I was so excited. The poor guy must have thought I had lost it! Anyway, long story short first 5 to pm me I will send you some.
