Welcome to the Knorr Report- my little weekly report of my adventures at Target. Well I don’t know about the rest of you, but it is the end of super cheap Kraft Salad Dressing at my store. The jumped from $1.52 at my store up to $2.04. Good thing I am stocked up and dressing has fairly long shelf life, as Austin loves his carrots and “Branch” dressing. But the $1/1 expired on 8/22 anyway, so it was a nice run while it lasted.

GLADE CLEARANCE – NOTE ON THE $2/2 FRAGRANCE COLLECTION COUPON
I mentioned yesterday that I had spotted the 2 oz Soy Candles 50% Off down to $1.48 at my store and I know lots of you are finding the same. You need to watch the register when you use either of the following coupons-
-$2/2 Glade Fragrance Collection Soy Candle, 2 oz 8-22-10 SS x10/2
-$2/2 Glade Fragrance Collection Products
Again- the register is seeing the coupon as a $2/1 NOT a $2/2 like it should be. Therefore, when it is scanned it is only taking off $1.48 (or automatically adjusting down what it thinks is a coupon off 1 product). something to watch for, so you can immediately have it corrected. 

“WE CAN’T GIVE IT TO YOU FOR FREE”
Yesterday I got an e-mail from a reader who tried to buy the Five Star Folders last week that were .50 cents each with a $1/2 coupon. We all know the register glitches going on and most cashiers/managers/stores etc can see this coupon is clearly a $1/2 and correct it when it scans at .50 cents. Unfortunately, some of you get inexperienced employees, or those who do not understand why it is scanning at .50 cents and feel that the cash register is a god of some sort and must be right, and therefore drama ensues.

Well in the e-mail I got yesterday, she was told one of my favorite lines upon the coupon scanning incorrectly… “It’s because we can’t give it to you for free”. In response to that- I am in complete and utter 100% agreement with Target. Now you might be saying.. WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY KERRY!!!???? But you heard me right. They shouldn’t GIVE you anything for free. But they absolutely can let you BUY them with a coupon, and if it so happens to be free WITH the coupon, you haven’t been given anything, you paid for your purchases, you just did so with a coupon that happened to make it free. 

Fortunately this has never happened to me at Target, but I do encounter it at other stores occassionally. I calmly explain that they aren’t giving me anything. Giving me something for free means I walk in the store, you hand me something and I walk out. But that is not the case, I am not TAKING anything. I am BUYING something, if it is free after a legitimate coupon then so be it. The store is reimbursed the purchase price and everyone’s given what’s due. Or that’s the way it should be anyway. If you have this situation at your store, try and calmly explain the difference. If they don’t budge or still don’t understand, give corporate a call and let them know the trouble you are having.

That’s it for now folks, I hope everyone is having a good week, sans drama!

There’s a few more printable coupons to report. Including some nice ones for ACT Mouthwash & Musselman’s Applesauce.

Well as of today, I am officially the Mom of a Kindergartener. Wow, not quite sure how that happened considering I feel like it was just yesterday he was taking his first steps. Time sure flies when you having fun. I sent Austin off this morning with his new Star Wars Lunchbox (with a frozen Gogurt in it ) and all his shiny new school supplies. I got the “Oh Mom!” when I pulled out the camera, but managed to get a couple shots in. He was excited and seemed happy but admitted to being a little scared. But truthfully I think I was (and still am) the one with the bigger case of First Day Jitters.

I have been pretty distracted because the anticipation of how he is doing is driving me crazy. I am wishing and hoping for a smiling face when I go to pick him up. Hoping there is excitement and happiness in his voice as he tells me about a great first day. Many of you are probably going through the same thing, or will in the next couple of weeks. I’ll cross my fingers that everyone has a wonderful first day! I get to pick him up in about an hour, so I will know soon enough…

UPDATE: Austin had a huge smile on his face when I picked him up. Granted he was happy to see me, but I could tell he had a great day, made new friends and announced to me that “School is cool Mom!” Just what I wanted to hear! He was also very anxious to tell me that if he didn’t bring his lunch bag they would have given him a “big tray with a pepperoni pizza on it!” hmmm…
