Thank you, both! This is becoming a full-time job...

I'm going to try the bolded deals above. Don't eat chocolate, so can't & won't "buy" them. I may throw in a candle deal, but this week has turned out to be a good-deal week everywhere. Just not enough time...
Yes, it does seem like a full time job, huh? Between doing the deals, and reaping the benefits (still seeing movies with FFF tickets that expired last Saturday), this week is just too much!

Oh, and regarding the chocolate...even if you don't eat chocolate, if you have somewhere to store it, these are the very nice bags and boxes of Dove. I am putting most of what I get up, and will use them with other stuff I buy for teachers gifts. Ok, and so I also opened one bag of the dark chocolate covered almonds yesterday, and they are SO good! yummy

Quote from bblueskye :
So, do I go back to this T and risk seeing her (and having her hassle me again) to get the highchairs, or do I lay low at that store for longer and just hit my closer t???

TIA!
I see the note that you are headed to T, good for you.

Just my 2 cents on this issue...if you contacted corporate, they agree the interaction was appropriate and provided you with the coupon policy, you should definitely go in that store. I had something like that happen, and although we didn't need anything desperately, I made it a point to go in to that T before I went on vacation.

I purposely used a couple of the coupons she had haggled me about when I had the problem, with the email from corporate in my purse, ready to be whipped out if she came to the register I was at. She was there, I know she saw me, and I definitely saw her. Had DD with me, I was ready for DD to see the battle erupt, if need be.

Of course, since the witch had gotten a butt chewing for how she treated me, and was told she was wrong, she kept her distance.

I've been there since, always with my coupon policy email in my purse, and so far no problems. Cool

I picked up a booster seat at 75% off. Otherwise nothing newsworthy. I'm jealous of all who are getting the toy q's in the mail!

Anyone need those free kraft salad dressing wyb q's? I still have more left and we just don't need any more salad dressing. I need more crystal light of course and that's the q I'm out of.
double, i have a bunch of those crystal light coupons. i also have 10 of the one touch $20 coupons if you would like those as well. pm me your address and i'll send these out asap - no trade needed. hug

Ok, so here's my dilema... I was going to do a run today for SOBE. I only have enough Qs for one run this week. I was going to go to my super close T, which isn't that coupon friendly. I had to leave a cart there last time I was there, but it has been at least 1.5-2 wks since I've been in there. I checked online, and that T doesn't have any of the $27 rainforest highchairs, but the next closest T to me has 10 of them - yes 10 in stock! I want to go buy a few of them (could be GREAT gifts, plus we could use one as well), but this is the T that I had big issues with last wk. GSTL was horribly rude and after a 2 hour ordeal with trying to check out, including a call to corporate, I ended up abandoning cart after she wanted to ring me up a third time! I called corporate back to complain about her rude behavior and I got the impression that she was going to be reported or reprimanded because they seemed really shocked about what she did (I didn't go into details on this...). I got 2 appology Qs and a letter with their Q policy. So, do I go back to this T and risk seeing her (and having her hassle me again) to get the highchairs, or do I lay low at that store for longer and just hit my closer t???

TIA!

I would go for the highchairs! You should not be afraid to go in there. My niece had been harrassed at the one store and called corporate. They were going to take care of it. The next time she went there she was doing a very safe legit run, (the sobe and razors), after she had her stuff she went to the service desk and asked for the lady who harassed her. she told the lady she wasn't leaving until she came with her to check out so she could show her that you can save a lot of money very legally. She was apologized to and then did follow to checkout and saw that just because you have coupons it doesn't mean that you are a criminal! Hopefully they won't harass her anymore.

wave I'm back from my run... It started off rocky as the GSTL was the first person I saw when I walked in the door EEK!

I put my hair up and wore my eyeglasses, but I'm not sure how different that makes me look. She didn't really give me a 2nd glance, but I'm not sure if that means that she didn't recognize me or if she was just trying to pretend she didn't see me. Anyway, I made a bee line for the baby section and there were 7 of the high chairs on a lg endcap area with a huge clearance sign. I don't know if they just went to 75% at this store today, but I can't imagine people not snapping them up for $27.xx. I got 5 of them (left 2 behind for others to find). Everyone who saw my huge cart and the red stickers on the boxes said, "Wow, great price". I checked out and used my appology Qs and used a bunch of my gift cards. They even called for someone to help me out to the car. My car is bursting at the seams with 5 of the high chairs in it, but I got 'em. I'm so excited - one for us, 3 for gifts, and 1 to donate to daycare.

After loading up I went back in to finish shopping. Definitely a conservative run, but I did ok. The SOBE display was well marked with the deal and all of the bottles still had the $.50 peelies on them. Now either they just put them out or people cannot do math. FREE, people, come on, buy 'em! Anyway, here's my run:

-20 SOBE - free after GC and MQs (had them load the GCs on lipgloss gift cards Smilie )
-4x duracell (from yellow box) - free after $1 MQ
-All detergent $3.79 - $1 MQ
-4x furs - $2 MQ & $4 TQ
-toddler underwear (forgot to use my MQ - must apply it on the next visit)
-8 gerber baby food - 2 x $1 MQ

No hangtags on tide / downey Frown and only one lonley Barbie/HW peelie (it isn't lonley anymore Cool ). The only shutterfly peelies I saw were on the Pirates of the Caribean under the shrinkwrap.

Toys still on clearance, but signs said 30% off. Strange because I know this store went to 75% (I was shopping there when they were marking it down and ended up leaving some of my 75% toys when I abandoned cart - there wasn't anything in there that I was dying for...)

Anyway, thanks for the encouragement!!!
hug

I hope all is well and you return soon.



I had an expired camera developed last month at Target. It had an exp. date of 05 or 03...can't remember how old, but older than 07 (it was an odd year...in numbers, not the year itself...whew, mama didn't have enough coffee this morning Embarrassment ) ANYHOW, when it was developed some of the photos had little white spots on them and after a closer inspection of the film, there were little flecks of something like the film itself had deteriorated. We were able to rub away some of the flecks and re-print some photos, but some flecks just didn't come off. The photo guy said it may have been because of the age of the film. Reconfirmed my dislike of film these days!
OT, just spent $50 on Shutterfly yesterday....good gravy. That's what happens when you forget to process digital pics for over a year. I have sooo many more to go too...I just gave up and ran out of coupons. OMG
I worked as a manager for a camera/developing store/and in a photography place that developed our own film, this including me cleaning and keeping up with the chemicals for all machines in the process. The white flecks have nothing to do with your film, it is how diry there machines are. While flecks are chemical residue that attached to the film during processing. Sometimes white flecks are just dust picked up from home when film is brought in, sometimes its from never dusting the equimpement or surrouding surfaces.
Age of film might alter the colors, but I didn't see that happen often, and often this can be color correcting during processing. I color correcting just because fuji film on kodak chemicals comes out yellow or green/ older negs might be slightly off in color.

i know my bank won't cash it....i've tried and if there is no expiration type date like a personal check, they won't cash it over 6 months old and sometimes sooner. so i would say yes it's a goner if you can't find where to get a new one written.

laugh out loud laugh out loud on the baseball hat!

I looked around a little last night trying to find a ratio for making koolaid w/ splenda. I have tons of kool-aid from using the Kraft Q's. Think I'm going to just add 1/4 tsp at a time and taste-test until I have it right. I'm thinking it's the same as the sugar free kool-aid.

It was this way at 2 stores I went to today as well. I didn't think they had anything left, so I moved on and when I got to the parking lot I saw an old man loading his van from 2 carts with strollers, bouncers, and high chairs, I was a little irritated...I just reminded myself I do not need anymore stuff, especially bulky baby stuff.

My husband probably called ahead and begged them to hide all the clearance strollers, as he knows I have a serious stroller addiction, he is just looking out for my mental health, and his garage spacelaugh out loud .

Looking back at Thrifty's posts, I think the Lounge's thread about "getting married in a church" counted when you posted there.
