Target Trip 5/6 – 90% Savings!

View Comments

• WOW! 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.

• Targets in North Iowa and southern MN are strongly enforcing one Target coupon per transaction and not allowing $1 Target coupons for .99 cent items (smaller versions of cashier aisle Bliss bars, Planters cashews, Chex Mix, etc.) It's theft/fraud/and breaking the "Thou shalt not steal" commandment to do anything different than what the store or manufacturer allows with our coupons.

• I had a hard time at tartget today too. 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.

• a visit to target left a bad taste in my mouth today. though the cashier was nice, when the quaker, bliss, and purell (yes, i finally found a target with some left) didn't scan, the manager came over and said it had to be the same as the picture. i ended up not buying any of them, but i have a question - do they stack coupons? because i had three tampax coupons and she would only take one.

• Great job! 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.

• I'm bummed.., my target apparently just started enforcing the one per transaction rule, and the manager on duty even went so far as to say one per transaction PER VISIT... so to get these deals I'd have to do small transactions and run things out to my car in between... what a pain! Luckily my cashier didn't make me leave and come back, but she did have to have me split stuff into 2 transactions... AFTER we'd already rung everything up. She was really nice and it worked out, but it was not fun. It may be a while before I go back to Target...

• Stephanie,
  Thanks for the breakdown! 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....

• Erin,

  Ah! 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!

  Gin,

  The coupons say 1 per transaction, but the cashiers usually will do all in one for time's sake.

  Angie,

  The coupon doesn't specify a size. 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.

• I went to Target yesterday and purchased 4 boxes of Fiber One cereal ($2.39 each) and two Bliss candy bars (99 cents each). 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.

• Hi Stephanie, I went to Target today and used the coupons u told us about on your site in their grocery dept. 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.
