I used the febreeze bogo this weekend and when it scanned it took off a different amt. (what a surprise) hehe.
Anyway the asshat notices right away b/c she is waiting so she can write the amt on the q. So she flips the light on and they ended up manually entering the q amt. Has this happened to anyone else? (I have never had someone actually write in the amt on any q before.)

I have had that happen before, with a young ditzy looking cashier too. I have also had young teenage boys right in the auto deducted price, that wa interesting.

For a Sunburn I have never gone wrong by smathering it with NOXEMA. Oh it is wonderful, it cools it right away and within a day all the hurt is gone!! Try it and I swear you will not be diasappointedSmilie

Argh...no Safeway here Mad .

Okay, folks, I need help with this TGI Friday's coupon. I have had a couple of kind SD'ers send me this baby (THANKS!!!), but it will NOT scan. Not at Wal-Mart (SCO or otherwise), not at Hy-Vee...I don't even wanna TRY it at Target.

Anyone got a sure-fire scanner? I'm printing in color on a laser, so it's not that (all others scan fine---well, except for about half of my Pop-Tarts TQ, but that seems to be the norm).

Also, today when using the TGIF at WM, the cashier called a CSM since it wouldn't scan, and the CSM looked at the coupon and said they could take it "as long as it isn't payable through some company that starts with a V, V-something...EEK! " so I quickly said, nope, it goes straight to Heinz, and it was all good.

I just like to avoid the beeps whenever I can (or, in this case, a complete lack of beeps due to non-scanning). And I can't even THINK about using it at Target (where it would go so nice with the ETQ, if that still works), until I find one that scans.

Anyone else having this problem? Anyone got a handy solution? Anyone? Bueller?

TIA!!!
i have the TGIF coupon as .doc file let me know if you want that.

My DH FINALLY gets it! I was unpacking all the RKT and putting them into the plastic shoe boxes (1 box=4boxes of treats). I was all worried he would see how many we have (filled 5 boxes of RKT alone) And he stands there, looks at me, and says "Do you have any more coupons? We need more!" WoW! It's like the light bulb turned on. Then he was visiting with a Realtor at a house we were looking at, and says, "We can afford a larger house, my wife shops with coupons - I mean REALLY shops!" laugh out loud Whew, it took some time, but finally!

Hmmm, Christmas IS just around the corner....lottery tickets are always a great stocking stuffer!

Oh, hey---I wonder if we could use this in the store? Just think, it'd be great to drive off reds and other shoppers from aisles with a bunch of peelies...or to make sure you get that item you really want on Black Friday (though I'm not sure this would deter some of those rabid bargain hunters...).

That is disgusting. But perfect.

Stuck working through lunch, no shopping for me today unless I go tonight. We'll see. I need PJ's for him and need to check out this durex issue. Am I the only one buying them, is that the problem? I can go more. Just don't take away my durex! It bought my kids last 2 season wardrobes, pool, countless amounts of food, books, etc etc. RIP my friend.

That would be the best!!!

I'm sitting here at work laughing so hard that I'm crying. Literally, tears are streaming down my face.

Good thing my baby won't take a pacifier otherwise I'd absolutely have to get him his first "grill"

same here. Mine gets it and feels lucky. We didn't put much $ into yesterdays sale and all profits went to my kids bills. And I still have some left to CL to make more $ for them. Now he's into it and promises to dumpster dive on wednesdays again (best day)

Mine gets it Smilie He's cool with it and would even checkout once in a while (not happy about that but will do it). He would still disappear everytime I go to checkout but other than that, very supportive and would even put stuff on shelves to help out. The day I finally realized he's ok with it was during our anniversary. He asked me what I wanted for a gift... I didn't have any idea and just told him Im cool not getting anything since Im not really looking for something specific. He out of the blue said, "How about coupons? You want me to order you some on ebay?" LMAO He was actually serious shake head
