I hope it's ok to post this here. If not, someone PM me where and I will delete. Thanks!

I have TONS of Mama Mia peelies up for trade and some FFS too. I'm looking for $1 Ronzoni and Box Tops for Education. I have 2 kids in school and they have a "contest" for each grade to win a treat. Smilie PM for offers.
This is the perfect place to post it.

Have you guys heard about Kmart doubling coupons up to $2 at select stores???
Bummer, none of my K's either. Awesome deal though for those lucky ones!
Quote from Katwoman99 :
Random tip, I thought of this when someone was asking for Zyrtec prices and Q's. I recent had to put DS on Zyrtec again and the cool thing is that the allergist told us instead of buying Zyrtec (or in my case hunt down Q's) he said to go to Sam's Club and buy the generic, Cetirizine. I bought 350 pills for $17. OMG A whole year supply! Not free but nice to not have to hunt down coupons and buy them 5 pills at a time laugh out loud
Cool. I might have to get my sis to pick some up for me at Sam's. What is the age recomendations of the Cetirizine?

I went shopping at Target today, took my E-mail of their coupon policy. I was not really all that thrilled over the prior shopping experience. So I strutted in, grabbed things and threw them in the cart. Went to check out and picked a random line. Cashier scanned all my crap. I put the printout of the E-mail on the payment stand, just in case 'they' were watching from the eye in the sky, so they could zoom in and read it! Then I handed over the coupons and said to adjust them to item price. Cashier said something like 'I don't think I can do that.'

I picked up the E-mail of their coupon policy and said 'This says that you can!' I dont even think the cashier bothered to read it and just started adjusting. I strutted out with all my crap. I was really surprised (kind of let down) that no one came over to hover and/or play coupon nazy! I was all ready to show the nice E-mail that Guest Relations sent me and take additional names if needed for any follow-up E-mails.

When I wrote in I didn't call anyone out, but they replied with the coupon policy and asked for specific names of team members. Maybe they know they are having a problem with team members not being aware and/or understanding the coupon policy.

All the tops were ripped off the Slim Jims at my other T too Mad

Same here w/ the paper, I used the self scanner and got 'item not found'. I didn't see anything else to scan on the box.

I am not sure of the suggested age for usage, DS is 12 and they said it's the same dosage as an adult would take, 1 a day. I was just glad to be set for a year (maybe not since I will be hitting it too in the Spring).

I had to get a friend to get it for me too since I don't shop there very often (only when I go with her). laugh out loud

Last time I was there I was shocked at the prices - nothing looked cheap to me at all.

I was like a little kid with the jims, hubby doesn't know about it yet, he will be pleased.

the pile downstairs for the sale is overwhelming. I got a call they postponed the fair until sunday which really bites as people were planning on sat. traffic will be less sun with church, games, etc etc. We'll keep hoping. No way anyone can humanly use all this oust so I must sell some of it. Oh and I must buy more tomorrow. Just one more run.

DH says soccer ball you have to pay shipping but book you don't? I didnt look yet. I'll definitely have extra soccer ball tokens if someone needs them

Yes, soccer ball is $6.99, I think. I figured it was worth it since my son needs a new ball and I think addidas is pretty nice.

On a CVS note, I got an email for 50 free prints if I sign up my account at their photo counter. It says it can be done online too. I thought some of you may be interested. http://cvs.pnimedia.com/extracare...8_Photo_50

Is the $10 rebate for the pop tarts, etc in the FFS booklet? Anyone in Milwaukee, WI that found them? Where? I'll be there this weekend and would love to be able to find a few for the rebates. I've only gotten a few poptarts, because I had coupons. I'd like to be able to buy the RKT, and other things, but I don't want to have to pay $1 for each one with no coupons or rebate.

Thanks. DS is 6, so it might me too much. I'll check it out though.
As for their prices, I know what you mean. I guess they're good for people that don't use coupons, and need to buy things in bulk. Dontknow I couldn't bring myself to pay those prices though.

Same here on the slim jims. All 6 boxes had the tops torn off. I guess this store has some good stockers. I have yet to find the MM or MP cheap juice either. Frown

I couldn't bring myself to try a case of paper. Maybe I'll try to scan it first next time and see what happens.

The rebate is not from the FFS booklet. It came in the newspaper in the Kellogg's insert a couple weeks ago along with a bunch of $1/2 q's.

I have stuff everywhere too. Was planning on a sale Saturday, but the weather's not working with me...then there's another storm so can't really plan on the following weekend either.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Of course, that was the weekend I was camping and didn't get a paper. Maybe I can find them on ebay.

Quote from Devilmomma :
If you are using any P&G q's at SCO, cover the right side of the bar code with a piece of paper when you scan it. Actually, I think it's best to do that with all the coupons, but not sure. Someone correct me please, if I'm wrong.
One coupon that this method does not work with is the degree clinical peelie from Target. I covered the right side and the dreaded quantity exceeds limit message came up. However just scanning the entire coupon works fine. I usually don't cover the right side with most of my coupons, unless it is a P & G, but I was buying regular degree and figured I needed to. So now when I use the degree coupons I scan the whole thing.

Lots of peeps posted in the last day or so that they had extras. Try to do a search for "extra FFS rebate" and see if you can find someone.

Thanks for clarifying. Smilie I usually scan the whole thing too and if it doesn't work, then I switch to just the left side. Except for P&G of course.
