75% Off Toys at Target....My Finds!

I have managed, somehow, to make it to the 75% off toy clearance at Target for four years in a row now. I soooo look forward to this sale every year and this year it meant a lot of early mornings at Target just to find 30%-50% off still. But, alas, Friday they marked them down! WooHoo! Now if you've ever been at this clearance sale with me you know I go crazy! I get a little manic and buy a TON of stuff. Well, this year I behaved myself and bought a "normal" amount of things. Here is what I found:

I was proud of myself, I didn't go overboard and I just bought a few things. I spent around $20 and was happy with that. Then I realized that $20 was actually $200 worth of merchandise!!! Man, people who pay full price for things are crazy!!! ;) I would have never paid $200 for the 4 bags of stuff I walked out of there with. I love clearance!!

Target 12/6-12/12

check Target.com, then go to grocery coupons at the bottom of the page to see Target's current printable coupons. They seem to be adding some almost daily. There is now a print limit on their coupons, it's usually 2 prints, but sometimes only one. Some of the coupons are store coupons and some are manufacturer coupons but you don't know which is which until you print. You should be able to use the manufacturer coupons at any store but you may have some troubles because there is a Target logo on it, but it still scans and should be accepted.

and remember if you take in your recyclable bag, Target will give you a $.05 credit per bag.

Target Price Matching Policy Updated

Wow, just when you think Target is getting bad, they like to try and get a little worse. I'm not sure who is in charge of coupon and price matching policy at Target but I think they are trying to discourage customers to use this, rather than encourage. *Big sigh*. Target has yet again updated their price matching policy. They just updated it about a week ago but have since updated it again. Now the policy states that Target store coupons will be deducted BEFORE price matching. If the competitor price is still lower, then the price will be matched and any manufacturer coupons may be deducted. You can view their policy here.

I'm sure you've noticed in my previous posts that I am getting very frustrated with using coupons and trying to price match at Target. In the beginning it was awesome and I was getting great deals. Now it seems that the cashiers as well as the company are doing everything to make this a real pain. The last several transactions I have done at Target with coupons have been a struggle. I have even had problems using their own store coupons on the item pictured in the coupon without a hassle. As far as I'm concerned, if I can get it somewhere else, I will. I used to love Target but now, not so much. While other stores are becoming more coupon-friendly, Target is doing the opposite in my opinion.

What do you think of couponing at Target? I'd love to hear other people's experiences at Target!

More Target Printables

$.75/2 Barilla Plus Multigrain Pasta
$1 off Uncle Bens Natural Wholegrain Brown Rice
$1/3 Uncle Bens Long Grain & Wild Rice

$1 off 12pk of Pepsi

and just for the record, you are not able to print the new Target coupons from their kiosks at the store. I tried it the other day. :(

Target Store Coupons New Policy

Boy, Target just keeps making it easier and easier to use coupons at their store. I hope you all can appreciate sarcasm in print. Apparently Target is changing the way they issue their store coupons. Now you can only print Target coupons from Target.com and they now have a 2 print limit per computer. You can still print the coupons from hotcouponworld.com and organicgrocerydeals.com that are on those sites now (this is assuming Target will still accept them, who knows) but all the new coupons must be printed from Target's site. Big fat bummer, Target! Here are the new coupons that are available on Target.com:

$2.00/1 Archer Farm ham
$1.00/5lb Green Giant Russett Potatoes
$1.00/6 Del Monte Canned Vegetables
$1.00/1 Dole Bagged Salad
$1.00/1 Nabisco Family Sized Crackers
$1.00/2 Ocean Spray Juice
$0.50/1 Pepperidge Farm Stuffing
$1.00/2 Pop Secret Pop Corn
$0.50/1 Wasa Crackers
$1.00/1 Market Pantry Bakery Pie
$1.00/1 Pepperidge Farm Baked Naturals Crackers
$1.00/4 Del Monte Fruit
$0.75/1 Folgers Coffee
$1.00/1 Pepsi 12 pack
$1.00/1 Ritz Crackers
$0.50/1 Argo Corn Starch

You can (or at least you used to be able to) print Target store coupons from the kiosks at the front of the store, so if they still let us do that then that's one more way to get access to more coupons.

New Target Printable Coupons

Target just added new printable coupons that don't expire until 12/5/9. Some of these include:

• $1 off Family Size Doritos
• $1 off Up and Up brand diapers or wipes
• $.75 off Pepperidge Farm cookies
• $1 off Nestle Purelife Water 24 pk
• $.50 off Log Cabin Syrup
• $1 off Dove Carmel or Peanut butter promises

Go HERE to print as many as you need. And remember, you can use Target or any other store coupons at Smiths (Twin Falls location)!!!

Smiths -vs- Target

I went to Smiths yesterday and did one transaction. I handed the cashier about 40 coupons, some Target store coupons and some manufacturer coupons. She took them all without any hesitation. In fact, she was very friendly and even asked me some questions about where to find coupons for herself. I left there thinking, "Man, I love shopping at Smiths." It was smooth and pleasant.


I went to Target today and bought a few items. I handed the cashier about 6 coupons. I'm surprised they don't have a microscope installed at the registers there now to make sure they don't miss any information on those coupons!! She looked over them very, very carefully so as to possibly catch me doing something wrong. I left there thinking, "Man, I hate shopping at Target!" While I like their prices, using coupons there has become a huge pain in the....butt.

I think I will just use my Target coupons at Smiths from now on and match their ad items at Walmart and bypass Target as much as possible. I wonder if they are trying to make shopping at their store with their own coupons a miserable experience or if it is just a coincidence.

Shopping at Target with Coupons....

....is not always a pleasant experience! I went tonight to get some of the deals I had been reading about on the blogs. I ended up with a headache and only bought about half the stuff I actually had in my cart. Target is watching coupons closely, sometimes too closely.

Problem #1
The cashier I had tonight told me I couldn't use my $3 off Glade scented candle coupons because I didn't buy the 2oz candle. I said I know, the coupon states "excludes 2 oz size." I also wanted to throw in a "duh!" but thought better of it. This ended up working and was a good deal. I bought 5 candles on sale for $2.50, used a $3.50 coupon and two $3.00 coupons and one $2/2 coupon. I ended up paying $1.99 out of pocket and getting a $5 gift card back.

Problem #2
Target will NOT match Walgreens ad for the Dr. Pepper. I read about this on another blog so I tried it even though I was skeptical, and I was denied. The dude at Guest Service told me that the item either has to be shown in the picture or listed specifically in the ad for them to match it. Good info to know for the next time.

Problem #3
I tried to do the "B2G1 free Keebler cookies but was a little distracted by a screaming baby when selecting my cookies and only grabbed one Chips Deluxe cookie. The Target coupon says $1/2 Chips Deluxe. I just told her to keep them because at this point I was not going back for one package of cookies.

Problem #4
They had a twin pack of Scope mouthwash on clearance for $3.24 and I grabbed it and used my $.75 off one Scope mouthwash P&G coupon. She scanned the coupon, it worked, and then she told me it wouldn't work because it was a two pack. Completely frustrated and trying to keep from just walking away at this point, I simply said "it scanned didn't it?" And so she let it be.

I think most of the problem here is that Target is getting way more coupons now than they are used to and some of the cashiers try to be, I don't know, the coupon police?? I don't know if this is something they are getting from a higher up, or if they just feel like it but it is really annoying. The little supervisor that just sort of lingers around the front lanes was watching my coupons like a hawk as well. This is the sort of crap that really turns me off towards a store. After I had an "incident" with a different Target team member awhile back, it was a long time before I used coupons at Target again. This is only the second time I've really been frustrated there but it's also been a long time since I've shopped there. I don't know, part of the problem was taking the kids and the husband and I know better but....

Has anyone else had issues at Target???
