I just returned from Target, and I am not happy.

Long story short, I've been out of the Target game since the beginning of July (due to major spinal cord surgery). I have a Wii system and would like a WiiFit so I can be somewhat physical since I can't go back to the gym at this point. Anyhow, over the last couple weeks I've been checking Target's stock online in my area to see if the Fit is available in my stores. Friday afternoon they did not, but they came into stock sometime Saturday. So, I went to one of my local stores that was showing it as available.

Yes, they do have them in stock. I was then told that the Wii is popular, and they have a waiting list(!) so even if they had them there were other people who would get them. Nevermind it took over 10 minutes to explain I did not want the $300 system, just the $90 game. However, since they were not advertised in the Target sale flyer this week, they're not allowed to sell them. The response was that this was handed down from corporate per Nintendo, they are not allowed to sell Wii products unless they're advertised. Since they will be next Sunday, I could come in when they open then to get one. Yet if I wanted a standard run of the mill game for my Wii (i.e. Smash Bros), I could purchase that.

Am I missing something? I'm beyond baffled.

Someone posted something about that in the Target thread. probably so they will have enough stock when the ad comes out.

i officially remove myself from the Kohls thread. seriously, how long did that last for me because i couldn't handle the constant bickering anymore? maybe all of 4 days? god, completely unbelievable. its no wonder that thread's gone to the dump from what it used to be.

i am so very glad that even at its worst, our thread has NEVER been like that. i appreciate everyone here and how we all come together to share the deals. hug
I just ventured there in the afternoon and read about hacking and stuff..didnt understand what was going on there...

Hey guys, I am back! Anyone miss me?

We had a very nice vacation! We were in NW PA at a cabin. It was nice to sit back and relax. The nearest store is a Super Wmart and it is 32 miles each way, yikes.We hiked, played outside, Ryan rode a pony, played mini golf, grilled, and had a campfire every night (and I sat and clipped q's one night in front of it.) Oh yes and went for ice cream every night too!

Ryan had a blast just running around outside and having fun. He slept hard every night, he wore himself out.

We are happy to be home though.

I apparently have a bunch of reading to do apparently. If anyone knows of anything great, I would so appreciate a pm, you know I dont usually ask for help, but I have a lot of reading to do.

Missed you guys, we had no cell or internet, and actually it was kind of nice.

I have to run out and get a paper tonight and use up some more Krafts! Glad to be home!

Many have benefitted from looking for Kohl's hidden deals by making changes to the URL item numbers on the website. They find a visible deal on the site then add 1 to the number in the URL looking for "hidden" deals. Someone came up with a script to automate that hunt-and-peck of looking through tons of item numbers. That started the "hacking" accusations. This is coming from people who have benefitted from months of searching for hidden deals manually (same thing. automated makes it faster)

They always find something to gripe about on that thread.

Was just wondering where you'd been. . . glad it was a vacation. Big Grin Glad your Qs didn't get burnt in the fire too. laugh out loud

Only real deal of note is the Poptarts/RCTreats/Cheezits GC deal.

Quote from doublesided :

We took DS to the beach on Friday mid afternoon. He was having a blast but his nose was a little runny, no biggie.. . . .
I'll tell you, if it's not an infection, then I'm seriously baffled. The kid could have a virus or something, I'll have to bring him in. But I think it's an infection.

Sorry don't mean to be debbie downer, I'm just so damn frustrated with this disease. The kid is running away from the shots and I feel so bad doing them. Now with the new insulin it's an extra shot and that makes it even worse. I want it to go away.
hug So sorry this is so rough for all of you! Just don't blame yourself, you are doing so much for him. And don't apologize if you need to vent here; I think that's what we all do from time to time. nod

The one Barb sent works if you print it in view mode through gmail (pretty quick to open an account)

DS you are all learning still and getting adjusted. You will have those days but always remember that you are a good mother. Your little one is lucky to have you.

Tots05 glad you had a good shopping day! I didn't get Cheez-Its. I would think one of the numbers match. They are made by Kellogg.

Quote from skynsam :

Got all but 2 FAR Sept items - and oooh did you guys see they added the vacuum bags again to be FAR? Not in the booklets but it shows up online now where you add receipts.
Do you think that you could have gotten them in Aug and do it again in Sept? I never found the 9.99 ones, but did get a 5.99 one. Will have to keep looking, if so.
Quote from teri037 :
ya'll have never done that? Seriously?
ok have never left without food....but have left without checking the bag and have been shorted...always a mess when only 2 out of 3 of us can eat and so I have to trek back....what a pita!
Quote from Jen2882 :
teri, if it makes you feel better I have...i once used the self check out at wal mart and walked off without paying for like $80 worth of stuff. It was christmas time and of course I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off and I only finally figured out I didn't pay for the stuff b/c I couldn't find the receipt and I was like running the day through my head trying to figure out where I could have left it...oh wait I didn't get one...major oops.
holy cow! so you scanned and then just left? laugh out loud Like the machine is just sitting there saying insert your card? laugh out loud

Quote from sbhiggins :
Never done that. . but I have rung up at a store, used all my Qs, paid, and tried to leave w/o my bags. Usually the cashier calls me back before I get too far
Now that, I do. Always.

Quote from skynsam :
I should change my name to wherearemykeys - I'm a scatterbrain. It's a running gag around here for me to ask where my phone/purse/keys/bra/etc are when we need to go out. I can *never* find what I need... yet when I find it I go "oh yeah I remember leaving it there now"
That should be my name according to my family...everytime it is time to go...I'm looking for my keys. My mom's bf is always joking that I need to have a clap on clap off type keyring so we can all just start clapping and find my keys. It's always a hunt!

Quote from BeKind2Others :
I have done essentially the same thing... but imagine actually opening the door to one of the millions of minivans in the lot and seeing a stranger in the passenger seat!!! OMG I yelled SORRY and slammed the door and RAN to my own car!!!! Needless to say, I remind dh to always LOCK the doors if he waits for me in the car for any reason!
LMAO Seriously, freaking hilarious! I would have peed in my pants right there!!

Quote from kopenney :

I haven't even opened a box yet. So...Please don't ruin the surprise.
The last boxes of Durex disappeared from my pantry. No one will take the blame.

Was it the DD21 or the DS17?Cool
OMG now I'm not ready for those days...that's EEK! . Funny, can't you see everyone around the dinner table and you asking if anyone has seen the boxes that were in the pantry that.....and your teenagers choking on their meal!!! bahahahaha

and I was going to say you were eating chicken based on the pork q and everyone having that in their freezer but went to type choking on their chicken and somehow the meaning wasn't quite what I had in mind!! laugh out loud
