Target also has a coupon for $1 off Post dry cereal (this has not reset, so if you printed it earlier, you’re SOL), which has the Honey Bunches of Oats Energy variety on a temporary price cut to $2.55 a box through 4/5 (this has been the same price at every Target I’ve visited, but apparently I live a charmed life). Use this $1 Post printable and pay 55¢ (If you don’t see it as the first coupon, change zip to 77477. If you use your REDcard you’ll save 5%. Jewel will have this on sale 2/$5 starting tomorrow, but if you are collecting as many Target gift cards as I am, much better at Target! and yes, i know i can combine them into one card, but i was over $100 earlier today!
While I have not run this deal, I did see these 18 ct boxes of Archer Farms pumpkin spice coffee single cups on the clearance endcaps at a couple of the Targets I visited yesterday, but since I don’t have a k-cup machine and they weren’t free, I passed. However, if you buy three of them (about $4.48 each) you earn a $5 gift card. 5% discount is on Cartwheel and if you pay with your REDcard, you’ll be paying 13¢ a cup.
I have driven to Targets so far out they’re still waiting on electric lines – places where English is a foreign language. I have now officially given up on the hunt for Similasan eye drops of any kind, along with the Garnier Olia hair colors. Oh, and the Nivea lotions. I found two bottles of the $1.97 priced Nivea and I had three Target 50¢ printables for first aid products, so I got three quarts of hydrogen peroxide and the two Nivea – OOP was 46¢. Siri keeps giving me directions designed to get me broadsided as a bonus…
I did manage to use up all my Planters peanut butter coupons at Dollar Tree before the 31st expiration date.
Start with this nifty deal on Seventh Generation dish soap (I wanted free, but got it for as little as possible): Shelf price is $3.19, so use this $1 mfr printable, plus the $1 Target Seventh Generation Home Care coupon (dish soap is pictured), plus 10% off with Cartwheel and get up to $1 back on Ibotta (a poll, twitter post & how often use?). Pay with REDcard and save 5% more. Here’s my purchases:
You are looking at a total of three transactions in two Targets. I had overage but there were so many clearance items that I went nuts and stocked up on coffee and coffee syrup and hair color. Total OOP was $59.62 – I got $30 in gift cards.
• 12 Similasan eye drops ($6.49 each less $5 coupons)
• bananas were $1.26 but there is a 50¢ rebate on Checkout 51
• 5 Archer Farms pumpkin spice coffee syrups ($2.78 less 10% Cartwheel)
• 4 Archer Farms coffee ($3.58 less 5% Cartwheel)
• 2 pints white vinegar ($1.04! used 50¢ Target coupons)
• 2 7th Generation dish soap (see above breakdown)
• 18 Nivea body lotions. Although these were found in the travel section bins, the size is 2.5 oz, so use the $5/2 3/16S coupon (thank you to Rachel, since I’d been hunting for these at different Walmarts with no luck) for small overage – they were $2.24 each.
• 2 Garnier Olia, one of which was $2.24 clearance, the other $8.99. By getting both and using all coupons, I came out slightly ahead after the gift card.
• 5 L’Oreal Feria in Wild Ombre ($3.04 each less the $2 Target coupons)
• 1 Garnier Nutrisse ($1.74 and used $2 coupon from 3/2 rp).
One open bottle of Similasan and none of the Garnier hair colors on clearance were part of the list – in fact, one of the colors on the list as clearance wasn’t. But I was able to get 8 more Touch-ups (DH says why are you buying all of those – trades probably for the 4/19 swap meet), 12 more Iams cat food for overage, a couple of pounds of bananas (mobile coupon $1 off $1+ fruit), four boxes of the Post cereal in the chocolate almond variety and…two 20 oz bags of Pumpkin Spice coffee for $5.38 and 3 Archer Farms Pumpkin Spice coffee syrups at $2.78 – the last two were on my Cartwheel for 5% and 10% off, respectively. I ended up spending $25 on the nose (a lot, yes, I know), but the coffee and syrups alone were almost $18 on their own. Knew the total was too high, especially since I didn’t get any gift cards for the Touch-ups, but I’ll return with the receipt for those. I have the previous receipt and it’s in the ad – I’m not worried about it. So subtract $10 in gift cards I should have received and I spent $15 – – less than the cost of the coffee and syrup.
With the exception of the Garnier Olia hair color, I’ve posted everything previously. No Target deal on the Horizon milk, but at $3.99 I’ll grab a couple ’cause it’s not like it’s really costing me. Yes, I could have purchased it separately with the gift cards, but come on now, my time is worth something!
Garnier Olia hair colors are being clearanced out (many colors) at $4.58. Use the $3 from 3/2 rp and the $1.50 Target store coupon to get them free. Buy TWO and get a $5 gift card. I purchased the 6.60 and 2.0 colors; on Slick Deals they’re reporting that 8.0, 7.0, 8.31, 6.43 and 6.1 are also generating the gift cards when you buy in multiples of two. Remember, you can only use four like coupons, so if you’re lucky enough to find a score, run a couple of transactions if they aren’t too busy or put the cart to the side, pay, put in car and return. When you’ve finished all your shopping, have guest services combine all your cards into one new one. You see here two transactions where I used $10 from yesterday’s Similasan deal and paid $15.31 after coupons, gift cards and REDcard.
Second transaction was only two hair colors and four Similisan that ended up costing me $6.27 and I got back $15 in gift cards.
Total amount on combined gift card is $28.73.
Here’s a nifty trick I’m about to try at Target for cereal and household cleaners. Note that I have not yet run this so ymmv, but looks easy-peasy, REDcard or not.
Windex Touch-ups are $3.39 and when you buy 4 you get a $5 gift card. Buy four, use the BOGO from 3/16 S and the $2/3 household cleaners Target coupon and you’ll pay $3.39 x 2 – $2q = $4.78 and get back a $5 gift card. Note that you’ll get screwed on the Target coupon, since you can only use up to four Like coupons and the Target coupon is for 3 items. Even Barbie can figure this one out. But it’s still free, so why whine?
Target also has a coupon for $1 off Post dry cereal, which sells for $2.55 a box. Use this $1 Post printable and pay 55¢ (If you don’t see it as the first coupon, change zip to 77477. If you ran the Similasan deal earlier or plan to run it today, do that first, ’cause you’ll be getting that gift card overage to pay for the other stuff.
