  1. Thank you! I have been waiting for a good time to use my Groupons from July.

     

    I got:

    U-Build Sorry ($9)

    Trouble ($12)

    Guess Who ($16)

    My Little Pony Twilight ($5)

    My Little Pony Cupcake ($5)

    My Little Pony Rainbow ($8)

    and the Playskool Explore 'N Grow Step Start Walk 'N Ride ($25)

     

    for...$4.02, plus I had paid $30 for the Groupons back in July. Something for all the kids!

  2. Anyone have a copy of the official price adjustment policy? My local store is saying that it doesn't apply to Black Friday, but I would bet that the policy does NOT exclude it.

     

    My store just seems to be stingy....things ALWAYS get marked down after everyone else, when they did the buy 2 get one free Wii games they wouldn't allow me to use it on clearance (another location had NO problem with it), and this is the one where the employee refused to tell me if the tv was being marked down and then I busted her and the rest of the markdown team loading up their own carts with tvs and checking out. It is really frustrating. I spend A LOT of time and money there and it sucks to have to feel like I am doing something wrong by shopping their clearance.

     

    Only infant jeans on clearance were still $9.xx, nothing besides baby in clearance. Overall, a bummer of a trip.

  3. South Towne Target on state st.

    Score = Home Basics Luxury Foot Bubbler with heat, only $5! I bought all 3, check it out.

    I got all excited when I saw this and then read that you bought them all. Thank goodness I didn't load the troops up for that. :)

     

    It is fun to see that there is another gottadealer in the area! I was gonna go today, but couldn't bring myself to get my grumpy kids ready and out the door.

  4. I am also of the understanding that once the clearance item is scanned by the markdown team, the price is automatically changed in the system. You should have been able to purchase the TV for the lower price as soon as she scanned it. I would have just picked it up and taken it to the register after she scanned it or put the dcpi # into a store scanner to check.

    Now that I know that I will certainly do that next time! Thanks for the info.

  5. How do you know she lied and wanted the TV for herself? It was first thing in the morning. She could have easily scanned it and lied and said the more expensive price. It was 1st thing in the morning - a new shift. She would have had to known the TVs were on sale and if she knew I imagine the rest of the "team" knew already too so why lie? If it was some sort of scheme so she and her coworkers could keep all the TVs for themselves, they probably could have legally limited the quantity of TVs you purchased.

     

    I do a lot of shopping in the early morning so I know - people aren't awake. You should have just said "can you scan this and tell me the price." Who cares about when the markdown team is going to get around to it - that's not your problem. Sounds like this girl was half awake and you were being a little timid. I dragged the guy over the E-Book readers so he could "double check" the markdown price for me.

     

    She came over to electronic because I had asked them to check and see if it was marked down. The guy in electronics called her over (she was at CS). She walked over and asked what I was wondering about. I showed her, she scanned it, and then said, "I need to talk to a supervisor about this...it might go down, but I don't know. I have to talk to a manager and I can't do that until we come over here to do markdowns."

     

    I even said, "I am here now and have to get home to my kids. What can I do? Who can I talk to?" She told me she needed to talk to the markdown manager and I needed to just wait until they came to electronics. I asked what time she thought they would get over there so I could get my kids and come back and she said she had no idea because they had more to do.

     

    So, she knew the price when she scanned it FOR ME and WITH ME standing there....and then the BS started flowing.

  6. I agree they should shop on break, but beyond any of that....don't lie to me! Bottom line is that she didn't know until she scanned it for me that it was going to go that low today...and then she wanted to get the word out before I had the chance to buy. She LIED telling me she had to talk to a manager. I should have realized what was happening and just loaded them all up and headed to the front and dealt with a manager at checkout, but I had no information as far as what the price would be, etc. She kept it all very quiet and just gave her excuses.

     

    I am just glad dh went back when he did because by the time I got the kids ready for school and out the door I would have missed out!

     

    Whatever the policies are about shopping on the clock, etc...Be HONEST! That is what bugged me!

  7. Anyone know what Vizio 36 inch TV (or maybe is was a 32 inch?) was marked down to 225ish??? I was coming round the corner and a lady was picking it up and dragging it to buy it. I was about 3 minutes too late! Not sure how much off it was and how badly I missed out on a good deal?

    It was this....

    008-09-1433 32" Vizio 1080p Java Series 225.24 ($450).

     

     

    I had been watching it and knew today would be mark downs. I was there when the store opened and checked it. The employee told me that she needed to talk to a manager before she could sell any and that I had to wait until the markdown team got over there before she would do it. I asked her when they planned to be in electronics then and she said, "I don't know what order we will go in today so I really can't tell you. You would just have to be here."

     

    I had to get home so dh could leave for work so I asked her to please tell me what they were going to be marked down to or what we could work out since they were marking them down and I was there at that moment. She told me she couldn't tell me whether or not they were going to be marked down or when - and walked off.

     

    I was mad that she was like that and the more I thought about it the more I realized that she totally lied to me. I got home and told my husband as he walked out the door for work. He decided to stop on his way. Sure enough, the mark down team (including her) were marking them down and grabbing them for themselves!!! He grabbed one, put it in his cart and made her put a sticker on it (the only ones they had marked were the ones THEY were taking in carts). He walked over to check out was in line behind to employees from the mark down team! When he got up there the cashier called the manager over and whispered something to him. My husband doesn't know what she said, but the manager replied, "Nope, he is good. This gentleman just got a great deal on an unexpected price drop. Well done, sir!"

     

    I was really bugged that the markdown girl LIED to me and then it seemed the cashier had some bee in her bonnet....oh well....we got one! YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
