This thread is being created so people -- generally, those people who can't seem to resist talking about off-topic junk in the Target coupon thread -- have a place to talk about shopping at Target and other miscellaneous matters.

All you folks who hang out in the Target coupon thread, start hanging out here instead! When you've got something relevant to post about Target coupons, please post about it in the Target coupon thread! We'd love to hear about it, but NOT about your dog, your cat, your mom, your genital herpes, your... well, you get the idea.

that makes 2 of us Bigeye eukanuba isn't the best with coupons. i rely on petsmart! and I want a nice big doggy bed for my puppy too.
i also recently needed to get a new doggy bed. their old one was just gross. stained (from what, i have no idea) and lots of fur. and it stunk pretty bad also. however it was too big to fit in a washer so i had to throw it away.

went to petsmart to get them a new bed and was sad to see that the beds big enough to hold both dogs that also had a zip-off cover (i was soo not going to make that mistake again!) were at least $40 and some as much as $60. sadly i didn't have a coupon at the time so sucked it up and paid the $45 for the one i chose. Sadwalk
they didn't even like it at first. it took them a couple days of scoping it out and 'breaking it in' for them to really start lounging around in it like they did with the old one. but now they're happy with it. and hopefully for as much as this thing costed it'll last a lot longer than the one i had to throw out.
Quote from luckykitti :
i'd be scared to try i'm such a chicken with expireds Hide
i have no idea if mine will, but if i even had one to try i'd just take it with me the next time i have to buy science diet. that crap is so expensive but its the only kind they can eat without getting sick. so.. i would try using the coupon on that since that is not something that regularly has coupons out and i'd have to buy it anyway. that way at least i wouldn't have to go through the embarassment of having the employees put it back. i would also attempt to use it on Nature's Miracle. we love that stuff around here and it never has coupons.
so yeah.. i'd try it on those. if it doesn't work, no loss since we'd of had to buy it anyway. Big Grin
Quote from sillygeese :
I have not done Khols, but I have a bunch of the email q's so I'll be going in during the next month and getting socks and undies for me and my girlsSmilie I have found that there is no such thing as too many prs of socks or undies with children, cause for some reason, even though I do laundry dailing we run out of socks?
for us its undies. i have no idea where they all go but i'm constantly having to buy more undies for myself and ds. dh however manages to keep ahold of his until the waistband of his boxers comes apart from the rest of it, all threadbare and nasty looking. wth is that? OMG
Quote from Katwoman99 :
I do Smilie

I have saved tons of money but it comes and goes in waves as far as what is available. Last fall there were breadmakers for $5, full large Circulon cooking sets for $50, lately I have bought Levi's for the boys for under $4, name brand shoes for $6, hubby loved his hiking boots I found for $4 OMG . Lately there is more chit-chat than deals (chit-chat and deals mixed agreed upon by mods but I have been too busy lately to contribute much to the thread so I am guilty of not adding much either). Lately there seems to be a lot of baby clothing items available.

If you are interested you just have to learn to scroll past the chit-chat, learn how to find hidden deals (check the wiki), and keep lots of bookmarks of OOS things you are interested in and check those often. There is a program you can use to also do that, but I have never set anything up.

You definately need a Kohl's charge to take advatage of the free shipping codes that are valid with a Kohl's charge. You can stack a FS code with a % off for some great deals.

Definately register on Kohls.com so that when you order all your information is there because lots of 90% deals go fast and they can go OOS while you are entering your information. If you have a Kohl's near you returns are really fast/easy. If you are not sure about ordering an an item, if it's a good deal, if there is FS, I just order and if I don't like it I return when I am in the store (nothing to lose).
i can't sign up for the kohl's card without dh (i doubt i'd qualify to have one without a job). but am definitely going to make him go with me to apply for one, or he can apply for one and i'll be the 'authorized user' woot
however today i did place an order for some stuff. a comforter set as well as those chaps towels. we actually needed those and they were great deals so i got those. also got a girls' infant set, a couple shirts and shorts for me as well as a dress i'm hoping will fit right. (if i doesn't i can always return it or give it away)

i did at least use the 10% off code so that cleared off the tax and shipping costs. however, i am still going to drag dh in to get me a card because i definitely see now that i really can find some good stuff for ultra cheap there. drool

I'm just starting to get into CVS - I enjoy it. I don't need any of this crap I'm getting for nearly free... but it's nearly free!

WAGS is tiring me though. Their damn RRs need to roll, lol
I couldn't find anything to roll and bought a few things to cover while I bought some gift cards. Bought $50 worth. That saved me from the Nutrigrain fiasco. Glad that's all I bought.

I do have $10 ecb that need to be used tomorrow. Did all the free things and playtex. Kotex was out. Gotta find a deal to get more ecb's. Any ideas??

Ok, you know how sometimes you put on a pair of pants and you find $5 in the pocket, and you're super happy??? Well, I put on my pants this AM and found a bunch of peelies in my pocket - I was totally stoked! laugh out loud That may be a sign that I've got a problem... Wink
I got my subscription to Oprah's magazines. heart them!! And Popular Science for dh. And a few more for me, can't remember right now.

Quote from teri037 :
School Bus Q's.....

The one's I have are 12 q's per sheet. All the Keebler are 992's on the sheets I have. I have a receipt where I used the Keebler on cookies, and the q attached. That would be a 992. So the 992 for me attaches w/o beeps.Yahoo! The q I used to buy Nutrigrain was the one with the PopTarts on the front. It did not attach, but it didn't beep either.

The only Keebler q's I see on my sheets are: $2.00 on juice (has nutrigrain box on front),
2.00 on rubbermaid takealongs (has cheez its on front) 2.00 on jif to go (has flipsides on front)
so only three Keebler q's, all of which are 992's.

The rest are Kelloggs and are 00051's except for: 2.00 on produce (sugar pops on front), 2.00 on smuckers ( grahams on front) and 2.00 on mead (mini wheats on front) which are 992's.

So, at least at my store 992's attach w/ no beeps
the others don't attach, but no beeps. HTH

Thanks so much for this..I didnt know abt 992 and I just matched the UPC and used them...All attached and no beeps..But after the discussion last evening I was confused...Now I am sure that 992 attached and did not beep

Are most of the deals online not b&m?
I will lurk for a few months before i get the hang of it...I guess I am just spoiledby the T thread, with the wiki laying out every deal then learning from that.
You can find deals in the store, but usually I only ever have coupons for extra 15% in the store and then you have to dig through the racks (usually a mess) and if you don't hit it on the day they mark it down big you are out of luck. I seem to find quite a bit online and it's nice how it just shows up on my steps a week later. OMG (along with the UPS guy laugh out loud) They had all kinds of Tony Hawk stuff for the boy 90% off in the spring, add a 20% or 30% coupon on top of that and that's some cheap clothes. OMG I try to get mostly the name brand stuff, better quality. They also have men/women/kids Nike and Reebok stuff on sale for super cheap. I think I found the boy Nike hoodies for less then $4. A few weeks ago it was beach towels for under $4 (really nice big ones). I got some really cute layered sweaters for about $3 OMG It definately comes in waves as far as what is out there at any given time.

Definately worth your time Big Grin

Do you have a ped egg? laugh out loud I like mine... buy clearance stuff? Or Christmas presents? laugh out loud


I had such an amazing afternoon... pure shopping. First grocery store I came out 70 cents ahead Yahoo! 96% savings with a future purchase catalina. Kmart - saved... a lo! with coupons and my mom keeps gushing about having nexxus poo/cond for the next few years (she hasn't used it in 5-10 years - too expensive for her!). Got a few things 75% off at T - this store has been under construction so they're finally getting their clearance stuff together again (even though it was clearance out 2-3 months ago at other stores!). Second grocery store... 2 times of 10 Kellogg's products for $15 - 10 MIR and 2 free gallons of milk Whee Then went back and bought the rest of groceries I needed laugh out loud My cashier was awesome, told me she needed to take lessons from me - best compliment I've gotten since I starting couponing Smilie I asked her if she liked any of the stuff we had gotten and then gave her Qs for them and told her I'd bring in a MIR for her next week Cloud9 And then we came home and I made tacos... mmm tacos

Quote from dealchecker :
I tried to search on this but couldn't find anything. I read on the target deals that coupons over $5 needs approval.

Does that mean that the 06 toy coupons don't work anymore?

Thanks!
It is YMMV on q's over $5 needing approval. I have used the $10 movie coupons with not problem. The only q that ever needed approval was the $7 Energizer q and I think that has something to do with the q itself because others have mentioned the same thing with that particular q.

I see Katwoman has you covered. Ever since I started Targeting, this is acutally the lowest my Kohl's charge has ever been. laugh out loud

Don't forget the drama Katwoman! I don't know how it's been lately since some of the old timers split off to a private thread, but man o man...everytime I checked that thread out, all they did was piss and moan about everything. From people lurking and not contributing, to people stealing their finds and posting them in hot deals. I stopped reading there because of all the nonsense.

That JF thread was silly anyway. Can you image if we did all our Target deals in secret code? It would not only create mayhem, but we would all get a gazillion pm's!!!
Oh, and shopgirl, your 'babies' are soooo cute!!! What breed are they? Are they spaniels?

They fight over everything. I loved getting all the good kohl's deals earlier this year, but once they started their own thread it's been one big fight, not worth weeding through for the deals!
