10 Work Days left

The final countdown. Today I will receive my next to the last paycheck from the same place. I have recieved 1 every 2 weeks for 10 years and 5 months. That is over 260 checks. Seems so strange.

So last night was a little rough. My hubby went out with some friends and the girls and I were home alone. A small glimpse of what is to come. It started with me having a headache that wouldn't calm down. The girls ate their dinner before daddy left and everything was good to go. I decided to finish watching "Grey Gardens" on HBO (recommendation from a friend). It was very upsetting for me. I watched it and only thought about how I am shutting myself off from the "real world" by not going straight back to work. After it was over, I made the girls put their clothes on and I treated them to ice cream at the new place in town (Here's your Scoop). We had to get out.

So enough about all that. My wonderful hubby built me some incredible shelves on Tuesday to hold my stockpile. We loaded in my collection to date and it is a good start. I am really excited to fill the shelves with cheap or free goodies! Watch my posts to find some great deals.

I will tell you that there are coupon haters that work at Target. You have to go in with knowledge. Here is a copy of the Corporate coupon policy you can print and carry with you on your shopping adventures.


Target Corporate Coupon Policy

Thanks for asking us about using coupons at Target. Coupons are a great way to save even more when shopping with us, and it's easy to use them at our stores. Because of the variety of coupons available to our guests, we do have some guidelines for how coupons can be redeemed at Target.When accepting coupons, we use the following guidelines:- We accept two kinds of coupons: Target-issued and manufacturer-issued.- We'll accept one Target coupon and one manufacturer coupon for the same item, unless either coupon prohibits it.- We can't give cash back if the face value of a coupon is greater than the purchase value of the item; in this case, we're able to adjust the value of the coupon to equal the price of the item.- We can't accept coupons from other retailers, or coupons for products not carried in our stores.- All valid coupons should be presented to the cashier while you're checking out.For questions about using a specific coupon, we encourage you to stop by Guest Service and ask to speak with the Guest Service Team Leader. They'll do their best to help while you're in the store. If you still have questions after speaking with them, please call our Guest Relations team at (800) 440-0680.
