CVS is selling Starbucks 12 oz coffees for $6.99 through today only. Tomorrow’s paper (available today) contains two coupons: $3/2 and $1/1. Buy three bags for $20.97 minus $4, pay $16.97. The SB coupon says if you buy three bags or more you can get a $5 card at starbucksholidayoffer.com. Purchases must be made in one transaction before 12/31/11.
Target will have the coffee on sale starting tomorrow with a wider range of flavors, but not as sweet a deal. Rachel points out that the Target deal involves getting a $5 Target gift card at the register, so Buy 3 at $7.99 each ($23.97), use $3 in coupons and pay $20.97. Get a $5 Target gift card and mail in the rebate form for a $5 Starbucks gift card. Bottom line is $10.97 for 3 bags of Starbucks ($3.65).
What? It’s a better deal at Target. It’s 3/$19.97 after coupons at Target, but you get a $5.00 Target gift card = $14.97, then can send in for the $5.00 S$ gift card = net $9.47.
