Target brags: post them here or in the A Lotta Hotta forum

paraphrased actual conversation today at target with CSM

"we cannot take this coupon if it will be more than the amount of the item"

me-first of all yes you can if that were the case, but it isnt. this coupon is for 1.50 off TWO, see? and ANY two.so i will pay 25 cents on each, no overage.

"if the computer wont take it then we have no way to do it, we simply can't"

**as she says this the cashier did just that, forced a coupon and she glared at the cashier for doing it**

me-well i will wait while you call Warren in guest relations, he will be happy to help you understand Target coupon policies.

"No, i will just call our store manager down to explian this to you *smug look*"

me-good, I am sure that person will know the policy

waiting while she is smug

manager shows up, nice lady who talks to her CSM for a moment and then comes over to me

"what seems to be the problem? and how can i help you?"

me-if you read this coupon you will see that it says ANY ziplock product

"but it shows boxes.............well, let me see.........**looks at the coupon, and looks at the $1 off rolaids coupon** you are right, we have to take these. the company HAS to reimburse us as they did not specify a size. *turns to cashier* you can go ahead and accept these as a store coupon if you have to to make them work. **turns to me** sorry for the problems here"

me-no issue, its not YOUR fault if the company did not specify, thanks for helping out

**i looked at the CSM and she looked like she had sucked on some sour grapes and she went stalking off**

me- smug grin at my victory as this CSM has faught me often on coupons and before i knew my rights she had won. well not this time!!!

my total OOP on a FREE gift card from MyPoints was 12.95 with tax

rolaids were 1.32 - 1.00 sunday insert coupons
huggies were .99 - 1.00 bath and body coupons from sunday inserts
suave was BOGO with 1 set also minus $1, 2 sets minus 55 cents from 1.85 each
Kotex i had a $2 off coupon and it was 5.59(whoops i thought i grabbed the 1.87 one shoot!!)
then i picked up some sticky notes for 1.87
and a clear storage folder for 1.99

you still did really well, even with the kotex goof. That's a lot of products for $12.95!

i am seriously thinking about going back on that because i made SURE that what i grabbed matched the tag under it!! or i thought i did. ah well. canot win them all.

5.59 vs. 1.87? I'd definitely have it ready to take back the next time I went to Target.

Great job! Even with the Kotex mix-up, you made a great haul. I would just call it a chance to learn a new habit: Always watch to see what things ring up or check your receipt before leaving the store. It's much easier to exchange it or catch it at the register then go back after you get home.

very very true. i simply was not paying attention! so annoying! ah well. i WONT make that mistake again!

wow, the one time I went to target like 2/3 days ago I got $5 in trial sized completely free and the cashier was so nice! I was with my mom (i'm 13) and she was so sweet! Never had any problems...and she did give me the overage!! I will def. have to use this cashier again!

qtkleee151, are you seriously 13 yo? I'm impressed that you are using coupons! Fab-o!
