Hi I am sorry I forgot to mention that at Publix here the TGIF IPMQ automatically deducts the $3 with no beeps and no need for cashier to enter the amount. I have not used it elsewhere...yet..

Hi stranger! Took a nice break, but starting q'ing again. The Target Coke deal on Sunday...I couldn't resist.

Hi there ! You ar a real asset to sd. I appreciate all you do. I rarely save and open restaurant emails to save time..laugh out loud I did open that email from them with the q the day you and a few others were kind enough to share and email it to me. I was hoping to email it to you!bounce Thank you for all you do.hug
I am sorry that I do not have a many per page There has been no time to make one etc..sorry. If anyone does and it scans Please email it to me .TIA.I am not extremely computer savvy but I will try to answer this..shake head I will do my best.. hth.. Please feel free to correct me etc..
What I meant by open and print from view:
I use google/gmail not yahoo now for many reasons..this is one
When I get certain files/attachments in my gmail account it show up as a photo image and gives me 2 options..view or download. If I download a bmp/which this IPMQ is, and print from file it is larger. The barcodes about 1 3/4" that way. I want to save ink/paper so I print from view mode and use my inkjet printer for these. The barcode on this IPMQ s about 1 1/2" "when done in this manner.HTH.
Please feel free to email me any ideas/suggestions etc. for files ,bmps.,pdfs.etc..nod
Many have inquired why I go by Jeffshere. Last year my brother Jeff was MIA then by the Grace of God and miraculous efforts of the wonderful compassionate folks serving( Thank u!worship ) he was found. I am, crying while typing this.One can only imagine how truly elated I was.heart woot The world is a better place with him in it.Since I am not as smart and creative as many of you are.. I thought I would somehow honor him and remind myself how short and precious life is. I thank you for reading all of this. I thank you for helping me learn, save $, be able to share more,gift more, and be more frugal too.
Oh please! I think you're pretty on top of it---don't sell yourself short!!!

Things like this with the TGIF coupon are a prime example; I see you do things like this, and posting to the boards with various things you discover, all the time. Personally, I know when I see you posting, it's something I will want to read---never any BS or "filler."

Oh, and just as importantly, if not more so---YAY JEFF!!! Please let him know how much my family appreciates the service and sacrifice he has given for our country. I may disagree with the war, but I have nothing but praise for our troops!

Keep up the good work!!!

I had a beep beep beep run.....All the Kraft cpns beeped for price as expected but then said Item not found...And the cashier noted down the price of each free cpn..I have had this cashier before and she wasnt like this....

Does the Sprite BOGO prompt for price...Bcoz if it does not, then my store has the prompt for price update...Even sprite cpns said item not found....

Best part of all: I remember reading shopping fan's post that her free pampers cpn which she recd did not work...I had "free cascade rinse" cpn from the home mailer...when she scanned it and entered the price, it said "cpn not allowed" or something like that...I remembered shoppingfan....but my cashier was able to k1 it..after k1 it still said item not found and she k1d again....weird updates..I am scared of going there again....

Okay, just because this door was opened, I'm going to throw it out there that in countries where this is true . . . you have to stand in lines around the block to see a dentist or wait months (sometimes years) to have simple outpatient surgery. So, it can cost us a little more and we can do it on our own timetable or we can become cattle lost in a ridiculous government process. Has anyone here ever had to go wait at a Medicaid OB office? That's the last thing you want to do when your big, pregnant, hormonal and disgusted by germs.
And there has to be a happy medium somewhere in between. The cost of healthcare in this country is outrageous.
Quote from doublesided :
Neither way is ideal. In this country for healthcareyou have to wait a minimum of 6 months to see a dermatologist for an issue, never mind if you just want a skin check. There were free dental vans in several states over the summer, people lined up for miles waiting in line as they couldn't afford to get dental care usually. They couldn't treat patients fast enough. Surgeries here are cancelled due to insurance issues. At a good doctor it's a minimum 8-10 month wait for a physical. I could go on.

I guess it depends on if you have insurance and how good it is. Medicaid can be a lifesaver if that's all you have. We were in the Air Force and used their system and it served us well for years.

Quote from jurenpamis :
Please no one take this tacky as that is not how I mean it . . . but how are you loading up? My family loves these and I've been buying 3 or 4 every time I go to the store, but since the Q is good until the end of the year I've been treating it like the FB Qs in the beginning and trying to spread it around and use it sparingly . . . ???
Loading up for me is 3 to 4 per run. I do most of my shopping on the weekends because I work long hours during the week. I will probably get 12 between 3 runs this weekend. to me that's loading up..kinda the same as what you are doing.....

Ok, I really am not getting this whole print in view mode thing...when I open the file it opens in the picture viewer...do I just press print then???
LMAO me too, I need help figuring out the view mode!

Ohhh..now I get it, I need to open a gmail account and mail it to myself laugh out loud then I'll be set! I'm so glad your brother is home, safe with his family. Our military and Veterans are very dear to my heart

Went to Savannah today and ate enough at Paula Dean's buffet to last me through the weekend!!

Lalailovedeals...every corner we turned on in Savannah seemed to put us on Abercorn street laugh out loud I swear that road must go for miles and wrap around the city, weave in and out and all about, but I never saw a Target! So we went to the T at Hilton Head instead. The prices were higher on just about everything, but then it is Hilton Head....

Had a very fun run at Walgreens this evening, until checkout... The poor cashier lady could not figure out how to ring the BOGO Glade refill Qs, or the Rimmel BOGO Qs, etc. Plus, my Glade refills all rang up NOT sale price, Rimmel didn't ring up BOGO, etc. FInally had to call over manager, who happened to be just about as slow as Grandma Moses. Took forever to re-ring everything at the right price, and THEN sort out the coupons. And he just happened to notice that the Rimmel Qs top out at 3.97 (the eyeshadows I got were 5.xx). How can someone read print that small, anyway?!? Stick Out Tongue

Anyway, got a bunch of stuff for 8.xx, including a 9-pack of Quilted Northern TP for $4. bounce Very excited about that. Now to just find a store that has the JFin stock!!!!!

And now I am going to go toast me a slice of homemade cinnamon raisin yeast bread! Smilie

Sorry the previous post got me all fired up about WAGS....probably should have posted there. Sorry.

**Went to use my $10/40 this afternoon. Ended up leaving cart. Had cashier scan the $10 off first and then handed her my other q's. She scanned 2 of them and then said this isn't going to work. Your total has to be over $40 after all of these q's (handing the q's back to me).

How are you getting this to work? Is it just YMMV?**

Oh, I forgot to add..the FFS q's get stranger by the minute.
I used some today just to 'test' them out for Sunday laugh out loud

I bought 2 KEEBLER 100 calorie Right Bites and used two 992 q's..
The first q attached w/out beeps and the second q beeped Confused

the kelloggs non 992's scanned perfectly. The store in Hilton Head was a dream..No Toy Q posted at the registers..No problem w/ IP's or Target q's..had we not been in a bit of a hurry I would have stayed for hours and filled up several carts...gotta finish up those Dr. Pepper q's before they expire...

Barb, thanks so much for sharing and explaining..I opened my my gmail account and forwarded your email there. It printed great, I can't wait to try them out!

Was this you this happened to? That's a huge bummer. The manager at my store initially told me the $/$$ had to be scanned last, but I told him it was a store Q, MFQs are basically like cash, they're reimbursed for them, blah blah blah. He was not confident at all anyway, and I was more knowledgeable about Qs than he was. Plus, I think amitxx (forget his exact username?) posted a letter from WAGS corp that stated the $/$$ Qs can be used together with MFQs, not after. I would definitely bring that email in and ask for verification from the store manager.

I need some PJ's for DS. Considering ordering from Kohls with the free shipping code or going to carters outlet tomorrow after haircut. Hard to decide. I have 7 errands to run tomorrow and I'm just not sure I can hop over there. The PJ's at Kohls are $8 each, so not the greatest deal but still better than regular retail, right?

I'm having a minor heart attack, I just looked at my online medical claims and DS hospital bills came in. We owe so much $ it's scary. Time to sell the diapers. How much did you guys sell them for, $6 or $5

I spent over 45 minutes getting stuff together at Wags - and I went out of the way to go to one too.

The manager saw me with coupons as I walked to the registers - he goes up to the cashier as fast as he could and is talking to him quietly. Then he says he can help me at another register... I was pretending to look at something and just waited until the person ahead of me was done. Then it just kept going downhill...

The 10 off 40 scans but register won't accept (first thing I gave). Manager was a douchebag... Says he couldn't accept it as he "would get in trouble". Blamed the problem on an update the computer received tonight (insert eye rolling here). He wanted to adjust down one of my items and then got upset when all I had were smaller priced items (under 10) and that they were all ESRs so couldn't be adjusted down. He just stared at me blankly then, so I walked away. Left $67 of stuff for them to put away. Oh and I had another 10 for my BDF's transaction to put away... Hope they enjoy that Mad

People in other thread told me to ask them to punch in the numbers... so here's hoping I can get it to work tomorrow.

Maybe I can find some cheap plates on clearance to throw around for a while laugh out loud
