The coupons are coded
5 2570062761 1 (8100)0 45863
I know that sometimes the coupons are really good till the end of the month, but I didn't know if that was the case with these coupons.
Help anyone!
Thanks
This offer is open for anyone else too...my kmart had a ton!
http://cbs11tv.com/wrapper_consum.
Several of you have asked out my coupon organizers so I just posted a couple of pictures. I have two boxes. The silver one is for food/pop/gum/etc. The black one has everything else like health and beauty/cleaners/baby/etc.
I bought them at Staples for less than $10 a piece. The coupons are divided by manilla colored dividers. I like this because if one section grows or shrinks, the dividers grow or shrink with it. Also, I can have as many little categories as I like.
I didn't label the dividers for awhile to make sure I had the number of categories I wanted. I have been using this for several months and absolutely love it. It is perfect for me!
I posted the second pic to show how big the boxes are in relation to my laptop. I carry a tote and just throw them in. I keep the tote bag in my car and then grab it to go in the store. The bag and boxes fit very easily with my purse in the cart.

Me, I just have every coupon separated into its own pile. Like, right now, I have one whole paperclip with razor coupons, but then all my food are grouped together, just depending on how big the group is at that time. Then, before I go in the store, I have a list of what I am going to get, so I make one set of all the Qs I hope to use in that transaction, in the order of presenting them. Then I double check my list against the Qs in my hand before I get in line. Not NEARLY as organized as you Pretzels...REPS!!!
Btw, are those coupons in your printer tray??

OMG - there ARE coupons in the printer tray!
I don't ever make a list or get the coupons out ahead of time. I HATE to have to refile when they don't have what I want. I do jot down a list of what I want to look for or what coupons I really need to use up and go for it. I just try to calculate a total in my head as I go.
I don't really care if people see me digging through my coupons, so I guess that's why it works for me. I actually put the whole tote bag (very stylish by the way - from Gap - LOL) in the cart and the boxes pretty much stay inside the bag.
I got a pocket full of peelies (wasn't this ThetaKristen's song?).

I was successfully able to use the Chinet peelies at KMart without any troubles. I'm afraid to use them at T because the free cup one always beeped "item not found" for me.. and the exp. date has passed....
Does anyone know if the SH MQ for $3 off $10 or more really requires a $10 purch? Or would $3 be fine? Doesn't the Smackers MQ just require you to buy 2 at $2 or more??
Finally, has anyone really tried out KMART? Do they just scan the 1st part of the barcode like T? Or do you have to match the item better?
How does that SunSilk Q work at KMART? Can you use 3 Qs for 3 items???
Oh... one more... I have a bunch of tearpad BOGO LifeWater MQs... and then today I got the $1 off 2 (or something like that) LifeWater MQs... so I assume I can buy 10 Lifewaters, use 9 BOGOs and 1 $1/2 and get them all for free at T (if the sales price is $1) without beeps. Right???
Thanks!

Buy 2 smackers over $2 each and use 2 coupons.
Thanks!

Went to a wm tonight....got all of the usual suspects....post-it's, healing garden, calgon, zantac, etc....
I had $63.00 in coupons so my bc was like 122 and my ac was like $58....so of course it need approval. The cashier was super cool had no problems with my coupons, says i'm gonna need approval. I said ok no problem....so the csm walks over and with a dirty *ss look and snotty *ss voice she goes "You had a $63.00 coupon." He said no I had a 4.54 coupon(will explain in a sec why he said that lol)...so I said no I had a lot of coupons...and he goes yea!! she had a whole stack!!...so she approves it, grabs my receipt real fast and is staring at it hard core as she hands it to me....before I can even walk away she starts reprimanding him for taking so many coupons....wtf?????
I had $54.06 in coupon items and saved $63.00 in q's...so i didnt even get $10.00 in overages...and 4.54 of that was b/c he accidentally rang the free toilet scrub q up 4 times instead of 3. (which is why he told her he had a coupon for 4.54 b/c he had to put it in as a vendor q)
So do I complain aboutt her sh*tty attitude?? The cashier was super cool and super nice and I don't want him getting in trouble over nothing really. Or do i just let it go b/c i did get overages???
Jen was this at the St. Chas Walmart? Do you think it needed approval, because of the amount of the coupons (being over $50 or something or a certain percent of the order) or because he had to enter a vendor coupon? I went to St. Chas Target tonight and the boy I got was looking over his shoulder when he scanned my coupons. Poor guy! I didn't have any coupons I shouldn't have except I used 3 of the Target Pepsi coupons for 3 Pepsi's (I guess really I only should have used one as I realized they were for $1 off 2 not 1). So the last two of the Pepsi's scanned and came up as quantity not met or something like that. He did k1 them however. Plus the $3 off Pepsi scanned item not found? This was k1'ed as well. This was the first time I used the coupon and I did have 3 Pepsi's. I wonder if this was meant only to be used on the cases?
Then I used the $3 off Pepsi one at wags and it wouldn't even scan there (I had five 12 packs of Pepsi), I was lucky she manually entered it there. Then for some reason my dumb printer that I was been moving from my old computer to my new computer freaked out on my second bricks $1 off glade coupon on the old computer. I think moving it from computer to computer is messing up the old computer for some reason. Anyway the printer did not print the $ amount of the coupon or the glade logo. You could see all the bar codes, the expiration date and that the coupon said glade.com What is strange is that I then tried to print the Pepsi coupon and the printer just kept shooting out blank pages. So I took the printer back up stairs to my newer computer to print the Pepsi coupon and it printed fine. I guess I really need another printer. I have an older deskjet (that does not print very good, Target coupons from this printer will not scan, but bricks will), but no start up disc, and the HP online drivers do not offer a version for windows 98 which this computer is.
So I made sure to cut the messed up coupon so the border that is around the coupon with the $ amount and date in small print still showed. I also had the first $1 off from the same computer that printed fine. Don't ask me why. Anyway I figured I would use both at the same time, and tell the lady it was the same coupon as the good one (different dot bar code of course, as it was my allowed second) and see if she would scan it. I told her if she can't that is fine, and she said well is the $ amount anywhere on it? I said yes in the small print surrounding the coupon. Of course she wore glasses and it is really hard to she without a magnifying glass practically, so she couldn't see it. I told her if she can't take it I understand and take the item off, because she was saying she hoped she didn't get in trouble for taking it. It did scan, but I felt really bad. I also hope the $3 off Pepsi one doesn't get her in trouble. I know everyone used this coupon many times, but was it meant was the cases of Pepsi? Plus it didn't even scan at wags. They must be really cracking the whip on coupons lately everywhere and I don't want to get anyone in trouble. The $3 off Pepsi was legit as far as I know as it was from an Internet grocery store ad, and the glade coupon was just my printer freaking out, as it was a completely legit coupon that they will be reimbursed for. I hope they get reimbursed for those $3 off coupons however!
Then to top it off my cws coupon bleeped the quantity message at Walmart even folded and only scanning the left side. That was at the Walmart by our favorite Target. It was like the scanner was so sensitive that it picked up the other side from the bottom even folded and with my finger on it. I guess I should have double folded. Well this time I got the message at this Walmart to set the coupon aside and continue. It did not freeze the screen right away. So I scanned all the rest of my coupons fine, and then tried that one again and it did the same thing. So I double folded it, and then it scanned. But when I went to pay it said my order needed approval of course. So the SCO lady came over and said well that is strange the message said quantity exceeded blah blah, lets have a look at that last coupon. She opened the box and I quickly grabbed my Airwick $4 off coupon and said I think that one was the problem, but it was the $5 off that was the problem. She looked at the receipt and said well those are $6, so I don't know why it would do that, so she approved it.
What did I do wrong with that coupon this time? I guess I need to double fold since the scanner is on the bottom and on the front, like an L. Now I wonder if this Walmart scanner is just smarter than the others, or it just caught the right side from the bottom somehow even with my finger over it. Since the message came up to begin with is this why I needed approval, even thought it scanned later on fine? I think this is the Walmart where I scanned the left side and got the bad message before, and then got confused and quickly scanned the right side (which is the wrong side to scan of course). I did not have this problem at the other Walmart with the same coupon a week or so ago (after the bad message scanning the left side at first at the other store prior to that).
Has anyone who had got that message and then scanned the coupon fine after that still had to have the SCO person approve the order? Or did the order go thought fine without needing approval once the coupons were scanned fine. The reason I ask is because I don't want to use the SCO at this store if even if the coupon scans at last it will still need approval. Maybe I should stick to the self checkout at the other store if I want to use that coupon!
Advice anyone please! Thanks for the help!
