Perimeter Perusing at Target (Target Clearance Deals) - 2008

[canphillips]

Is anyone else having trouble with the coupons from the coupon generator? Yesterday, my Pepsi coupons wouldn't scan. The manager adjusted, but said he wasn't supposed to and he can't do it again. Today, different store, I went back with my gift card and my ocello sponge coupons and colgate coupons would not scan. This time I went to the desk and she gave me cash back, but they wouldn't scan for her either.

Huggies boxes 50% off, 13.98 plus I had 1.00 off manuf. coupons. Size 5 had 112, that's the only size my store had, so I'm not sure how many are in the other sizes.

TY for the info...I have 1 still in diapers (not for too much longer I hope) and 1 on the way. Does anyone know of websites that I can print coupons for huggies & pampers?

Weird, but I called to complain about the cashier refusing to take one of those coupons, and they sent my call to a "specialist." She wanted to know where I printed the coupon, etc. I got the impression they were trying to find out if I had used a coupon generator. It was a current Pepsi coupon, and she said she couldn't find it on the site. I said, no, it was on a week or two ago, but it doesn't expire till 4/26. It was all very weird. I finally had to go to take my son to school and was getting annoyed at all the questions. I complained that the issue was that their employees weren't properly trained to take their own coupons off their website. But maybe they are trying to do something with the generator thing. Or maybe it is completely unrelated. Just weird.

So i learned a good lesson today...don't do all your returns at once! I returned 2 of the disney puzzles, 1 photokin, 1 pjs, 1 invitations, 1 window sealers today. They had a hard time locating the items on my Target card, and heads up if you try to return one of the disney puzzles...they don't even have the numbers in their system anymore, they have no record of having it! The person doing my return did credit me for my receipt but told me i had incorrect #'s on it! (I didnt!)...when I left the store i realized that she had credited me only $2.48 for the window sealers (I bought them at $5 and then found them 75% and rebought)...I was bummed that she had done the return on the lesser price! I was tired though and didn't want to go back in the store to change it (if they even would).

.

That seems very weird that you had a problem even WITH a store receipt. I do know for sure that if you do the "buy/rebuy at a lower price switch-a-roo", you must have your receipt to get the higher price refunded to you. If you charge both items on the same card, and then do a receipt look up, the cheaper one is the one that the system will "find" and give you credit for cause it finds the most recent one you bought.

 

So many changes at Target it seems. I think my area has enjoyed some pretty liberal policies for so long, and it appears that systems are being updated and many things that used to just be very easy are much more of a hassle (ie, coupons, credits, etc.). My Target shopping has dropped WAY down.... way, way down. I do Costco a lot more now.

 

I love it when I can use coupons at Target and get food and household stuff cheap. Most of the time they got me to buy lots of "other" things too. However, I absolutely won't go and use coupons if the cashier in any way is going to look at me like I'm a felon when I bring out my coupons for groceries. Sorry, but without coupons, Target * much of the time* just isn't the lowest price place for that kind of stuff. So, I guess they probably don't care so much about whether I shop there or not. C'est la vie.

Monday I returned 3 watches, a seat cover(car) and a golfing net, all at the same time with 3 different receipts. No problems.

Has anyone found the Sponge bob fusion players for 75% off around central Ohio yet?? TIA

Yes, I got the fusion a couple weeks ago at 75% off at the Hilliard Target. Haven't been back in awhile so not sure if there are any left there or if any other Cols area stores have gone 75%.

[Mommy2Four]

I'm happy with what I got today!

 

Dollar spot has small (2oz) Cutter Mosquito Spray. They are the perfect size for my diaper bag.

 

2 Gillette antiperspirants 1.88 clearance less 1.00 Q

If you were trying to do a return using receipt lookup (which is sounds like from your saying they had a hard time locating the items - if not, then this doesn't necessarily apply) with the puzzles, that would be the problem. When they make up the price, they generally do a 999-9999-99 for the DPCI. Therefore the receipt lookup won't be able to locate it. And, if you did the receipt lookup for the one you bought higher then lower, it will always refund the cheaper one, not the higher one. That is when you need a paper receipt. Oh, and the 999 thing, they won't generally allow you to return it to any store except the one from which you bought it. They often will ask if there is any chance you'll want to return it because they know it will be a problem.

I asked her about the store issue (I bought in PA and returned in DE), she said that wouldn't be an issue...there was an actual DPCI # for the puzzles with their name on the paper receipt, so i have no idea why it wouldn't come up. I had all my paper receipts (highlighted them for each item being returned), but she wanted to do it through my card (despite my showing her my recipts)...in the end she did use the receipts for the puzzles, but nothing else. Good to know that I want to avoid that route at any cost in the future...since I do buy/rebuy quite frequently...thanks guys!

Yeah, the puzzle really isn't in the system. It has the same DPCI as the one that was salvaged back in January, so it isn't terribly surprising. I've had a similar experience when I returned something that had been salvaged.

 

If they ask if you have the credit card with you, next time, just say no. That way you can avoid it without a big issue as to why. The card number isn't on the receipt, so they shouldn't be able to do it anyway.

 

Oh, and if you can still get the window sealers on the 75% off price, your other receipt is still valid for a return.

Picked up an extremely large 22 pack of Energizer AA batteries and it rang up 'Item Not Found'. Took it to the front and this cashier knew the appropriate route to take with such an item. She grabbed a scanner and found the price - $5.xx - not bad, and I even had a $2 off coupon to use too!

[Kymmber]

found another turtle with little tykes playdoh in it for 4.98.

 

I now know what a Disney Mix and Max player is. I picked up 2 of them today because they were 24.98 (75% off) and I was going to give them to my nieces, but I think they are too young for something like this yet. Those little memory cards would get lost, and this would end up in a toy bin I'm sure.

I appreciate the heads up. Didn't you just reply to DRPLANTS saying "No spongebob at all on the endcap with the others. (massillon Target)"

 

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. DO they have them? Are they 75% off

 

Thank you for the help!

[thearmstrongs]

Also, I am strating to have problems with using some of the generator coupons too.cashiers are questioning if their are vaild

[3wardkids]

I was just wondering if anyone has experience the trouble of having something over the 90 day receipt? I was so frustrated by Target this week. I had gotten a camera from my MIL for christmas and she went to Arizona for the winter and the camera didnt' work, when she got back i got the receipt from her and went to return it and they told me my receipt was expired and there was nothing they could do.

[irisbee]

Not a red sticker in the cart when i checked out BUT I got some $.69 mm. Only one pack but it was the first I've found it since we moved here a few months ago.

[Bellsandbabies]

GOOD day at Target! I was out of town and decided to stop in the local Target. I picked up 20 Ocello Sponges that were between $0.41 - $1 and had a whole bunch of coupons. They took ALL of them and I even got overage!!! The ones that were printed off the Target site automatically adjusted down to the price of the sponges but the Manu took the whole $1 off. I was so excited because I had picked up a purse that was marked $18.88 and rang up $9.98 and a large Method hand wash refill for $1.99 and I ended up paying $7.xx OOP!!!! YAY!!!!

[his_lil_gemini]

may be a stupid question but what is "MM" that everyone is talking about?

[scrabbler]

Minute Maid juice boxes. They are not a clearance deal but instead are marketed in the cafes we believe. Regardless they are an odd size pack that ring up as a single juice box deal instead of a multi pack.

 

If you take a look back through the thread, there are other posts that also explain what it is.

Just another reminder that off-topic chit-chat and posts that talk about buying or selling items to other members will be deleted.

Why is it that Brad has the time to note these discussions, but we can't get him to pay attention when we ask that the first post be changed to add the info on the MM juices? We have noted it every single month for about 9 months now, and there has been no movement on the issue.

This is exactly the problem - I do not actively monitor this thread. We get reported posts, almost on a daily basis, about off-topic posts or members trying to buy and sell, and so myself and the mods take action on those specific posts only. Another member reported your post about this, saying that your comment should have been made via PM, not on the forum.

 

Perhaps if someone would have PMed myself or one of the mods at some point in the last 9 months detailing these "MM juice" changes that needed to be made, they would have been done so, but I can say with certainty that it was never brought to my attention.
