Hi. Just started reading this thread (a while ago - prolly about a week and a half ago!) and am now caught up! woot I find this thread very interesting (great info on deals!) and entertaining (the pics! OMG, the pics!!). Big Grin Sorry for the long post! Embarrassment

I do have a question and am hoping you guys can help. I have a DD that wears hearing aids (I do too), and hearing aid batteries are just friggin' expensive! I did come across a lucky deal at Wags last week where each pack was $2.99 after the IVC and MQ (Energizer batteries, normally $9.49 each - on sale for $6.99 each). I was only able to get 4 since I only had 4 MQ's. They had issues at the register giving me this deal as the signage was old and it wasn't really on sale. If any of you know of a way to get cheap hearing aid batteries, I'm all ears! laugh out loud

Doublesided, would it help to send you the MQ's for the Precision meter and strips? Or is it better to send you the actual strips? I'm new to this and would like to help you out if I can.

Nikayla, you mentioned you wanted the forms for the Box Tops for Education for the 200 bonus? I'm not sure what insert they were in, but I have last weeks and the week's before and can look to see if I have them to send to you. LMK.

Stormy, I'm so sorry about your cat. hug I have a 15 yo cat (Junior Mint!) that is starting to show her age. I get fearful that her time is coming soon. I've had her since she was a kitty. I really feel for you.

I lived in AZ (Phoenix) for about 8 months and did not like it. It was too depressing for me! Not enough greenery! So, I'm back in FL. I do much prefer the cold over the hot, though, but circumstances have me here in FL.

Yeah, the tape is pointless and a b*tch to take off. There's no need for the tape.

Trang, I tried not to let you down... paid $70 in GC but RRs? Too freakin many. And need to call for another $40 in them :shakeangryfist: Wait, that's not an emote? That needs to be one! Hopefully the Cat company doesn't let me down and I get my $40 in non WAGS coupons like last time - here I come grocery store.

I found Halloween stuff for 50% clearance at one store - nice fillers there. Last store of the night wasn't printing any RRs... manager just gave me 3 bottles of mouthwash for free laugh out loud Going to write to WAGS and compliment him, he was so very nice (and cute!).

Did 2 T runs as well and did 3 times of Kashi... got a nice surprise of more $2 Qs in the mail before I left Whee

I also want to say I love sbuxlover - she sent me kleenex Qs Yahoo!

[QUOTE]

AZ is great!! And beautiful. Phoenix isn't all there is to AZ - but they like to think it is Wink . I can say that because I have lived there too Smilie (and got my MS from ASU). Northern AZ is in the mountains and covered with trees and lakes and so much to do (BS from NAU). Southern AZ is also pretty - with great outdoor activities. We just moved from there to San Antonio and I am really missing my mountain views. We are hoping to get back there once DH retires from the Army (many years from now).

Finished up the last of my Kashi runs tonight - spent more time in lines than shopping. And the cashier was on the phone for the whole time I was checking me out trying to go on break. Didn't have time to look around very much.

arrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

problem booking my tickets, mine went through, little guys didnt and the $$$ is gone from the gc's is gone, some kind of glitch. Happened ot another customer today too. I cant call customer relations until Monday morning. They did hold his reservation, at the agents fare not my web price, just to hold a place for him. Since I am buying tickets on different days, I have to try and get our boarding passes for the same grouping.

My headache is back. I hope this works out.

and I AM GOING TO FLORIDA!

I did enought deals at Kmart to get $300 in Southwest gc's so I can fly in to see my mom and my 9 yr old sister, I havent seen them in 5 years and they have never met the baby.

I am so excited! and thanks to everyone here, you guys rock!

I have a van full of stuff, a mess of a coupon box, but I am going to see my Mom.

Is anyone in the Orlando and the Sebastian Florida area. I will be in both places on my trip, probably the week of the 10th, and need to know what grocery stores are there and how good they are. My mom has been having trouble with money and they barely have any food and have to hit the food bank. I am going to take my coupons down and shop for her and load her up. Any help would be appreciated
Congrats Stormy!!! Let us know if there are any Qs that you need to help stock your mom up. I'm happy to send you Qs Smilie


We just got the boys down after being at a bday party most of the afternoon. They were soooo tired. I just hope the baby sleeps in a bit tomorrow AM - his 4:45 AM wakeups are killing me. I try and try, but I can't get him to go back to sleep after that - ugh. And despite the fact that my head hasn't been anywhere near a pillow past 6:15 AM for years, I am NOT a morning person! ZzZZz

I hadn't gotten any envies from bricks in a long time, but today I got like 16 envies from them. All Glade bogo Qs Smilie

Stormy - if you are flying Southwest - your boarding passes aren't assigned until you check in online the day before your flight. If you check in exactly 24 hours before your departure - you will be able to check you both in and get boarding passes for the same group. They will let you board first anyways, with the people in wheelchairs and such. I wouldn't worry about it.

Yeah, you'll be able to board w/the "family" boarding (as they call it now)-- it's btw the "A" and "B" groups. With just the two of you you shouldn't have any trouble getting decent seats together.

Quote from teri037 :
I love Publix. I don't think they double q's in florida, so if you know a SD'er down there, have them look in the newspaper for you. They usually put store q's for like 5.00 off 30.00, etc. Some stores take competitor q's as well. I have some of their weekly/ monthly fliers that have publix q's in them, you can use a publix q w/ a mfg q. When it gets closer time to go, look at HCW, figure out what you need, and if I have the publix q, I'll send them to you. In some Publix's you can also use TARGET q's Whee My store doubles, so it doesn't take competitor q's. Maybe anepu can answer this but I think I remember someone saying that their store took RR's, since they are technically mfg q's.

Mmmmmm. Publix. Nice place, but they are kinda pricey on meats and produce. No doubling of coupons down here in Florida. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) I think its YMMV if your Publix takes competitors coupons - I think it's company policy that they do, but I just started seeing signs about it at the registers at my Publix. You can always check out the Publix thread in the Drugstore B&M section.

I was thinking of converting the few Mama Mia's I have, but hadn't looked into the theaters that take Fandango. Which ones near you take them? We have been going to the movies in Mansfield. They have no problem with the Mama Mia certificates there.

Stormy, I'm so sorry about your cat. hug I have a 15 yo cat (Junior Mint!) that is starting to show her age. I get fearful that her time is coming soon. I've had her since she was a kitty. I really feel for you.
The insert is for Labels for Education from Campbells, from last sunday, and with all the Campbells soup coupons. I think I have enough now because what I didn't notice before is that each row has to be a specific type of soup! It doesn't say it does, but the insert does show the same exact can of soup all the way accross the row. When I called Campbells they said the first row can be any condensed soup, not just the tomatoe. Then next row any type Princess condensed soup. So if you have some labels you could cut off and add that would help a lot. Otherwise I don't think I have enough of the "exactly correct" labels to fill all the sheets before the deadline. Kind of wondering how strict they are going to be on having the correct soup on the line. The family code is the same on alomst all the cans but it's the second set that tells which soup it is.

I do also collect Box Tops for Education which are on a lot more products and you just cut them off the products. I have these listed in my trade list so if you have some I would love to trade for them.

hug Stormy I know how it is to lose a beloved pet. We have had several pass growing up and then with my own family the worst was our sweet kitten (the girls named her izzy kitty), 9 months old, and just as we were sitting down to dinner the neighbor girl knocks on our door tears streaming down her face, and sobs out "I think your cat is dead!" and points to the road, she had just seen her get hit (the driver never stopped) and my two DDs are running out of the house onto the porch looking at her in a big pool of blood. They burst into tears and I get them back inside and shut the blinds. I am so thankful DH was home that weekend! He went out to scoop her up so we could bury her.
So I just want to send a hug and let you know I feel your sorrow. We still miss her, she had such an awesome personality and was so great with the girls. She would let them brush her and dress her up for a surprisingly long time before she would run away and hide for awhile. And she did the head bonks, so cute.

So I got my dream car for my Bday! I told DH many years ago the Lexus Crossover was my dream car, the car I dreamed of but would never be able to have, 40K new! We had been seraching for a new (to us) car to buy for awhile now just waiting for a screaming slick deal. Instead of waiting and getting what he wanted he got me my Lexus!!! Whee Whee
It's a 2000 but still looks amazingly new and was a super slick deal to boot! Cloud9 It drives like a dream, and I can't stop grinning! Good ridance to my clunker jeep with no air (preggo ladies should never have to drive all summer with no air!!) that is falling apart and shakes so bad on the freeway it seems it's going to break down any second. And I just prayed everytime I pressed the brakes that it would actually stop, that shaking was scary.

Congrats on the new car! I have a Lexus too and it is amazingly reliable and I really do love it. It's got over 110k already and still drives like (and mostly looks) almost new! Well, except for the 2" tear my DS put in the leather in the back seat a couple weeks ago - OMG, he's lucky I don't have violent tendancies. Still drives like a dream....

Enjoy!

Ok guys, I need to vent and get your opinion....

As most of you know or have guessed I work at a movie theatre. So toniht this chick comes up and asks if she will be able to refund a ticket if her friend doesn't show up. I asked if she had the credit card she purchased them and she said yes, so I said yes we would refund it for her. Now, here's the thing she was standing there in front of us waiting for them to show up. Someone showed up and she walked away.

Fast forward to two hours. Lady walks back up and says can I get a refund for this...it was for a 7:20 show it is now 9:20....I said I'm really sorry we don't refund tickets after the end of a movie, but I can give you a pass to come back another time. She said no, I talked to someone and they told me you could. I then realized it was the same girl from earlier. And I was like, oh I remember you coming up, you asked if we could refund the ticket then and we could have, but our policy says we can't refund it after the show. She said well, I was going to refund it then. But I didn't and I want my money back. I said I'm sorry, I can't do that. She said well you should have told me that earlier. I said I didn't know you were going to wait as you had asked if we could do it then. She then proceeds to completely go off on me and tell me that I didn't do my job properly b/c I should have told her that and told her the return policy.

I was like I'm sorry, I didn't tell you the return policy at all...you had asked if I could refund the ticket at that point, I said yes. She said well yea but you didn't tell me I couldn't return it later. I was like ma'am you told me you were going to return it then if your friend didn't show up. She said well I would have had you of told me the policy.

Basically we went round and round and the thing is I really don't think I was wrong! Had she of asked the policy I would have explained it to her. But I don't think it's my fault that she chose to wait two hours to return a ticket for a movie that was over! I tried to explain it to her like hey if you go to six flags and buy too many tickets you can't wait until the end of the day to return it.

I caved to the pressures of "good" customer service and gave her the freakin refund and she wanted my name and my boss's #. I was like that's fine, you can have my name because I don't appreciate being told I did not do my job or that I wasn't nice when I have tried to accommodate you from they very beginning and now I'm violating a company policy to give you your money back.

so, do you guys think I'm just being stubborn??? Or was she being illogical? I strive to have great guest service....at 9.25 a ticket the very least we can do is provide a positive experience.

Tonight was just H-O-R-R-I-B-L-E. An "experienced" manager decided halfway through our busiest set was a good time to go on break leaving noone behind the concession stand to lead and guide the employees, the projectionist dropped a movie....that's always fun. Hey, sorry you can't see your movie today b/c my dumbass manager dropped the movie......an employee gave back $50 too much in change, and there's always stupid drama and kid shit to deal with.

Sorry, I really needed to get this off my chest as it really bothers me and dh doesn't really understand why I can't always leave work at work.

Oh and my boss is out of town so everything that goes wrong this weekend falls on my shoulders and it seems to be an awful lot going wrong. *sigh*
