Ok, just finished looking through my inserts from this week. I know there has been lots of talk lately (well before the FB craziness) of "systems" for your inserts. I definitely need a better system. I initially bought a few expandable folders (like the coupon folders but full size) at T, and this held me over when i was only buying a couple papers per wk, but now that I'm getting more inserts, they just don't fit. Ugh. I think I'm going to start organizing them in a hanging file drawer. Otherwise I fear we will be burried under the piles that have grown in our dining room. Wink Embarrassment

Ok, so a confession and a pet peeve: I'm so anal about my inserts that I go through and pull out all of the extra random sheets in there that don't have coupons but only advertizing for "checks in the mail", girdles, coin collections, etc. And that is also my pet peeve - the fact that they include these sheets in there. Don't they know that these extra sheets add up and make the inserts harder to store - grrr...

Well I'm still sick as a dog but feeling a bit better. Hopefully I'll feel even better tomorrow.

Oh, BTW, was it Double that was looking for Jello Qs? I noticed that there was a $1 Q this week. Or was it Stormy??? Anyway, I am saving them because I remember someone mentioning it - PM me if it was you! Big Grin

G'night peeps!

Yeah - I absolutely LOVE the stuff, but we don't get it here. Family shipped it to us as a special treat, but sadly it melted. Just means that I need to eat more of it when we visit. Either that or the universe was trying to help me loose weight (which I can't seem to do after baby #2)...

Wait, I was going to go to bed... ok, now I'm going (really)...

I ran into two women in the Turnerville Walmart in Nj at about 11pm.You know who you areMad .I confronted these women because all they had in their cart was the coupon stuff..I mentioned they were going to ruin it for everyone and 6-10 bottles of Pantene is not moderation...Her response with her friend standing next to her was so......

You cleaned out the target of nuggets,bagel bites ,cheese its....Did you even buy anything that you didn't get almost free......At least try to make it look good..

There are people only using one coupon at a store ,,and then you have these people.I hope they weren't slikdealers..EEK! EEK!

Anyway should we start a countdown to when we arent allowed to use these?

Sorry....

Hi there!wave If anyone in Atlanta has luck using the FBK Q's please pm me with where ypu had success. I will do the same. I used 4 at SWM there 1pp/originals fine. They beeped but were accepted.nod I tried 1 at Kroger to no avail. It beeped and they would not allow it. The MOD said that if it did not scan it could not be accepted. It did beep so it was recognized.Confused 99.9% of the Krogers here will not take IPMQ's. I am in Ohio today. My mom needed some help. No deal is ever as important to me as family/friends.hug I am off to bed.ZzZZz

Quote from gypsylady :
Something I found strange on my All You Crystal Light coupon at Walmart, was that when he entered the value of the drink $2.98 it said the value was to high. Confused This did not make any sense, since that was the price of the drink, the coupon is from "All You" which is a Walmart magazine and the value can exceed that even according the the coupon. He just ended up entering it as a Vendor coupon. Anyone else experience this? I don't know if it had anything to do with I used the hot dog, cheese and Wheat thins coupons in this order as well. The register accepted the $ amounts of these coupons just fine. Beats me, but hey free food I love it.
I don't have the All You qs but the same thing happened to me with the Kraft freeWYB coupons at Walmart. Even thought the amounts on them were higher than the product the coupons still said value was to high! It was so annoying and he didn't just enter it as a vendor q, I don't think he knew how, he just kept going down in amount until the register took it. So I ended up paying a bit for some of the products but by then I was to tired to care and some of the other coupons I had had a bit of overage so it worked out okay.

hug That is just sickening and sad. It almost happened to us last week. A circut blew in the house, it turned off 4 outlets. One the freezer was plugged into and one the cable box, we never use the other two. So the cable went out in the eve and I figured it was to late to call the repair guy, the next morning we had Dr. appts, meetings, errands, and shopping. Got home about 4pm and the TV was still out so I called them. They couldn't tell what was wrong and said a repair guy would be out the next day.

The repair guy finally figures out it is not the cable at all and it's a problem with the power outlet. EEK! I finally noticed/realized the freezer had been off ever since the TV went out and I felt so sick I swear I about fainted! The circut breaker is not labeled well at all so I ended up having to flip every one (forgot to shut down computer) finally heard the computer in the kitchen restart and figured I was getting closer. Got it back on and then finally looked inside..... Stuff was just starting to get crystals on the outside so I took out a Ben&Jerry container on the top and it only seemed a tiny bit squishy near the top so I ate some and it was still mostly frozen but getting soft. WHEW!!! I kept thinking about it for days, how horrible if we lost all that food. I have been compulsively checking the freezer to see the little light on everytime I go in the kitchen, and it has been.

That is so sad you lost all that food. I have been worrying about power to our freezer ever since, we haven't even had it 2 months yet so we didn't have nearly the amount of food you must have had. Comfort

I bet your had enough $$ in food it would at least be worth checking into.

I have to scroll up to see what thread I'm in. I hate when I forget, and it gets so chatty I think I must be in the lounge, and then I add even more chat. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)

I haven't been to Target in over 2 weeks so I've got nothing to add over there. K, W, Alby's that's another story.

Hi all...no time to catch up, hope all have been well. If there's anything new and great going on, please share.

I am in a state of total shock right now. I know if I'd just cry I would feel better, but I am just too shocked.

I know some of you will understand my angst. This afternoon, DH discovered the door to our upright freezer in the garage slightly open. Last night, DD put a few things in it for me and I guess she didn't close the door good. End result? Everything in it was ruined except two cheesecakes and a pecan pie.

I almost had a breakdown, it was FULL to the gills with stuff I've gotten through great deals, including tons of meat. DH says it could have been worse, had we not noticed when we did, the meat could have been so spoiled when it was found so as to make us sick just to clean it out. And he cleaned the coils and checked it, we're hopefully that running full blast trying to cool a whole garage didn't totally ruin the freezer.

So, if you see any great deals on frozen foods, please pass them my way.
I feel for you! hug It happened to me once, when the kids unplugged the freezer in the basement to plug something else in. We lost everything. Mad Start restocking with the $3 Tyson coupon and the new FB coupons. At least you'll get some things. Look on the bright side...at least you've now got a nice clean, defrosted freezer to start restocking things.LMAO You have to laugh, or you'll cry.

Thanks for all the kind words about my ordeal! You know how it is though, sometimes a new day makes things seem better. Although still just unbelievable, today I think it will be ok.

At least my freezer is working, thank God! heart And dd came in last night and gave me the most grown up apology ever. I think she knows how much trouble she caused by being so concerned about getting back to her computer game (instead of fitting the stuff in carefully, like I asked). So, life goes on.

I won't file a homeowners claim, although I know many would. I work for the insurance company that insures us, and officially "dd stupidity" is not covered under HO insurance. I just wouldn't feel good about lying to get it covered, and know that I would get fired if I did turn the claim in and my lie was found out. Losing my job is just not worth what I could collect for the stuff that was in my freezer.

Oh, and I got a surprise this morning in the garage...I also had to throw out the rug I had sitting in front of the freezer. Didn't think about the liquid from the meat getting into there, but boy it stunk! Thank goodness DH hadn't left for work yet and could add it to the stuff he was taking to the dumpster at work!

On the good news front, today is trash day, so all the bad food is already gone.

My bet is these q's will be pulled as soon as the first wave of coupons hit the redemption center. They had no idea what they were doing when they posted those q's as they did.

And the attitude of those women disgust me, too.
