I'm sorry you guys are having such bad experiences. I have had my fair share at Target - they are very difficult sometimes. As far as the 1 per transaction rule - the coupons do say that. I am very fortunate to have a Target that will let me use all my coupons at once. liloh, Using 3 coupons on 3 products is not stacking. Using 3 coupons on 1 product is stacking - which is not allowed anywhere. WOW! I’m sorry you guys are having such bad experiences.

They are enforcing the one per transaction and tried to tell me I couldn't get the 99 cent stuff using a $1 Q. In the end they let me use them but only one. I have to drive 45 minutes to Target. I may decide better to use my coupons somewhere else. I had a hard time at tartget today too.

It doesn't compare to your haul but here is what we did at Target this week. 2 boxes of Fiber One Honey Cluster cereal 2 boxes of Fiber One Chocolate Mocha Chewy Bars used 2 -$.75 cereal printable coupons used 2 $1.35 bar printable coupons (coupon states only the Chocolate Mocha flavor) Total with Tax After Coupons: $5.75 Received $5 Gift Card for this shopping trip Total Cost of 2 boxes of cereal and 2 boxes of bars $.75 Next, check this link for last weeks deal, where we earned a $5 gift card from our Glade purchase last week. So using the total with tax after coupons of $5.75. We paid the bill with the $5 gift card from last week. Which means we charged $.75 on the debit card and walked away with a $5 gift card from today’s purchase? For those of you have been reading Frugal Fairhope for a while, would you say that we paid $.75 for the four boxes or Target paid us $4.25 to buy this? Note: The printable coupons are still available so you can go to Target now (before Sunday) and do this same “deal”. Unless we are mistaken, we have not seen a limit on the amount of Target gift cards you can receive so as long as you find the computers to print the coupons you can repeat this “deal” over and over again. Just buy 4 at a time to qualify for the $5 gift card and print the coupons you need. <abbr><em>Frances FrugalFairhope’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.frugalfairhope.com/?p=3381" rel="nofollow">Frugal Fairhope GIVEAWAY</a></abbr></em> Great job!

Your Target is AWESOME! Wish I could come use it! I went to target today and they didn't know their coupon policy! I swear it was like they had never seen a coupon before! At first they told me they DIDN"T take TARGET coupons!!!! They were AWFUL! It would take me forever to write everything they were saying! Needless to say I ended up buying NOTHING and took back what I bought in my first transaction. Then called their corporate number - not given to me by them - and they of course said the store was WRONG! UGH so frustrating! I may try again... can't believe it.....I just want some deals! Plus the free stuff I was going to use in the stamp out hunger with the post office.... Stephanie,

That must by why mine took off $1.50! The Shells n' Cheese was $1.50! Kim, Yes! You can do more than one gift card offer per transaction!

The coupon beeped for me, but so did other coupons that I bought the item pictured. Doesn't necessarily mean you aren't buying the correct product just because the coupon beeps. Erin,

I received a $5 gift card for the cereals but the computer denied the Target Bliss coupon. The cashier said I had to purchase the larger bag of Bliss to use this coupon and even showed me that the computer denied the coupon. I can never get the great deals that you have. But I will continue to follow your posts for Target as there are 3 stores within 5 miles of home. Thanks for your info.

This was my first time to use coupons at target. I printed the Bliss coupons , quaker bites, and others. I saved a lot using your guidance. My question is did you use 7 coupons in 1 transaction for the bliss, quaker bites,etc? I noticed on coupon it said 1 per visit or to that effect. So I only got 1 even though I had several other coupons to use. Can you use several of the target coupons if have that many items? Thanks, I enjoy all your post.

Do you know if you can earn more than one gift card in a single transaction (if for instance you had combined transactions 1 & 2) would you get 2 gift cards? Thanks for all of the wonderful tips!
