Vista Print LOT OF GOOD FREE STUFF

I don't know if you have ever heard about Vista Print, but I love it! You can print cars, invitations, business cards, T-shirts, car magnets, hats, letterhead you name it and they probably have it! I have made several things for my husband who is in sales, as well as baby shower invitation and birth announcements. It is really user friendly. I get emails all of time time with all of the FREE things that you can get, which is great. All you have to do is pay for shipping. The slowest shipping USUALLY takes about a week, even though it says 21 days. So unless you REALLY need something ASAP that should work out fine. Check em out here! Make sure you sign up for their emails FIRST in order to get the links for FREE items ;)

(Note: If you need more than 10, as that is usually the FREE amount for cards or announcements you can also create note cards into the same design, that is what I do to get the quantity that I want for as little as possible :)

This is actually the virus protection that we use on our computer. We found it much more effective and useful than others, even Norton.

Old Navy Weekly coupons

OldNavyWeekly.com is a great site that lets you click around and search for AWESOME money saving coupons. While I have tried a few times I have not been quick enough to score the sweet $75 off $100 or the $50 off $100. It is a LOT of fun. Apparently they are now resetting the coupons on Fridays in stead of Thursdays and they are bringing back the high value coupons. (They took them away for a little while :( ) You can go on over here to It's Hip to Save and read up a little more about previous weeks, as well as a little more info about the whole site from the site's blog here.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Target Coupon Policy

So, I did contact Target about the behavior of the cashier and other employees regarding my last shopping trip there. I was pleased to receive a response within 24 hours and to know that they were truly sorry and wanted to correct this problem. I do encourage any of you to make sure that if you have a problem and cannot reasonably resolve it in the store to contact the corporation and report the problem. Anyways here is their response as well as highlight of the Target coupon policy:

Dear Meagan,

I'm glad you've taken the time to write us about your experience. We're sorry you didn't receive the type of service you've come to expect at Target.

The team member behavior you described isn't part of our guest service philosophy. We expect our team members to help you in a professional manner. Hearing your comments is very important to us and I've shared them with the Kohler Target Store Leadership team for further review.

While you're in the store, you can always visit Guest Service and ask to speak with the Guest Service Team Leader. They'll do their best to help you. In the meantime, we'll keep working to provide you with the service you deserve.

Thanks for helping us make Target even better.

Sincerely,

Glenn

If you have any questions about a specific coupon or experience using a coupon at Target, we want to help! Please give our Guest Relations team a call at (800) 440-0680. We'll do the best we can to help you as quickly as possible. For your call, please provide a team member with the following reference number.

In the meantime, I'd like to share with you some information about our coupon policy. 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.

Thanks for writing. Give us a call if there's anything else we can do to help.

Sincerely,

Glenn

I'm glad they are more concerned and friendly than the group of cashiers/team members that I recently dealt with :D

Do you know the way to use eBay?@>%!!>#@!!

If you don't already know....I sell on ebay to bring in a little extra cash flow to buy extra things for the house and the kiddos...I have been doing this for a few years ever since my oldest was a baby. Lately for some reason I have had an overwhelming amount of nonpaying bidders, let me tell you this is the MOST frustrating thing for sellers. I have already paid all of the fees charged for these items(and let me tell ya they ain't cheap now-a-days) and then I wait...and wait....and wait....and wait....and apparently WAIT some more. I send several polite reminders saying that I am happy to work with them and that I am MORE than flexible if they just contact me. And yet I wait....NOTHING...SERIOUSLY people!!!!! I have to wait until the 8th day to file a non-paying bidder report, then I get to wait some more....WHOOPI! I am telling you...in the last month alone I have had 5 NONPAYING bidders! UGH!!!! I list items with the buy it now option/best offer. So there is NO mistaken bidding...no hassels of waiting until the last minute. I have resorted to adding the immediate payment option to my listings so that I do not have deal with this anymore. I did manage to get 2 of the 5 people to pay by opening the non-paying bidder complaints. But alas there are 3 out there that owe me money to the tune of $282.95...yeah WOW! I really wish that these people would not waste all of my time, energy and efforts by doing this. This is my income and helps me to get those little extras for the kids and what have you as I stated before. I just wish that people would take it a little more seriously.
