The best deals on Beauty and the Beast!

The Beauty and the Beast Blu Ray/DVD combo pack is being released today.  Even if you don’t have a Blu Ray player, the combo pack includes a regular DVD, and is the best buy because of the coupon!  Don’t forget to print out your $10 off coupon here (you do have to register for a Disney Movie Rewards account, but registration is FREE!)

In my opinion, Toys ‘R Us has the best deal.  The Blu Ray/DVD combo pack is priced at $22.99, so it will be $12.99 after coupon.

If you plan to buy Toy Story 3, make sure you pre-order it when you pick up your copy of Beauty and the Beast and you will get an instant $10 off.  Here’s the breakdown:

Buy Beauty and the Beast – $22.99
Pre-order Toy Story 3 – $5

-$10 (instant discount for pre-ordering Toy Story 3)
-$10 Beauty and the Beast coupon

Spend $7.99 OOP

**If you have no pre-ordered from Toys ‘R Us before, all you have to do is tell them that you want to pre-order Toy Story 3.  They have a card that they will scan and you will pay a $5 deposit (included in the scenario above).  They will staple your receipt to the card and you need to keep that until you are ready to pick up Toy Story 3.  The $10 instant discount is not advertised, but it does work.

There are more deals and scenarios for Toys ‘R Us in this post here.

Best Buy ~ The movie is priced at $24.99.  You will pay $14.99 after coupon.

Target ~ The movie is priced at $24.99 and includes a bonus princess CD.  You will pay $14.99 after coupon.  If Toys ‘R Us is a competitor in your area, you can also price match and you should pay $12.99.


Walmart ~ The movie is priced at $24.99 online.  You will pay $14.99 after coupon.  If Toys ‘R Us is a competitor in your area, you can also price match and you should pay $12.99.

A few more notes:

*There is a $5 rebate offer when you buy the Beauty and the Beast Blu Ray/DVD combo or Toy Story 3 Blu Ray/DVD combo and 3 participating Campbell’s condensed kids soups or Spaghetti-Os.  There are printable coupons for the Spaghettio-Os and the kid soups here.  You should be able to get these items for pretty cheap with coupons and sale prices and you have until 1/31/11 to complete the rebate!

*There is a $5 rebate offer when you buy 2 Western Bagel products and the Beauty and the Beast combo pack.  This one allows photocopies of receipts, so you can do this deal and the deal above.  If you pre-order Toy Story 3, this could end up making Beauty and the Beast a moneymaker for you!

*If you purchased Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue, you can get a free charm bracelet from Disney here.  Then, you can also get a free rose charm for purchasing Beauty and the Beast.

*At my Walmart store yesterday, they had signs up saying that there would be a code for a free ticket to see Tangled (the new Disney Rapunzel movie) inside the Beauty and the Beast combo packs.  I am assuming these will be pre-packaged in all of the Beauty and the Beast combo packs like they were with Toy Story 1 and 2, but I guess we’ll have to wait until the movie actually is released to find out for sure.

Target deals for the week of 10/3

Keep in mind that pricing may vary by area. Always check your local ad to confirm that they have the “weekly deals.”  Many of these deals were not listed in the weekly ad, which means YMMV in terms of pricing.  Thanks to Totally Target for the heads up on many of the price cuts!


Electronics trade-in ~ Trade in your new or used iPod or iPhone for a Target gift card.

Get Text Alerts from Target: receive coupons, deals, and weekly ad reminders on your mobile phone – use a barcode that can be scanned at check-out for multiple one time only coupon deals throughout the month.  The text alerts for mobile coupons appear to be released on Sundays and appear to be valid for one week only (when the new round is released on Sundays, the old round disappears).

Target now offers price matching. You can check out their policy here.

At Target, you can use one Target coupon and one manufacturer’s coupon per item. The printable Target coupons now state “one per transaction” meaning you can only use one “like” coupon per transaction. The Target coupons from the inserts do not have this wording and neither do the Target toy coupons. You can read/print their coupon policy here.

They are also offering a .05 credit when you bring in your own reusable shopping bag!

FAQS: (Check out Walgreens new coupon policy here!)

Do you do multiple transactions at one store on one visit?
It just depends. Several stores in my area have gone to a “one RR per item per day” rule, which means I can’t do more than one transaction where I’m earning RR for the same product at the same store. Some of the stores in my area also will not let you use the RR you earn from one transaction on another transaction in that same visit.  I’m fortunate to have several stores within a few minutes of my house, so I usually try to break up transactions at different stores and on different days to stay in the good graces of my stores.

What is Walgreens policy on using BOGO free coupons with a BOGO free offer, adjusting down coupons, etc.? 
The new coupon policy does not really using a BOGO free coupon with a BOGO free promotion, but it does say you can use up to two coupons as long as the total doesn’t go below zero, so, you SHOULD be able to do this!!

Walgreens coupon policy is now to adjust the value of coupons down – YAY!!

Some helpful tips:
*At Walgreens, you can use ONE manufacturer’s coupon and ONE store coupon per item (always give the store coupon last to avoid problems)

*At Walgreens, you cannot do a promotion more than once in a transaction and earn Register Rewards. (for example, if you buy 2 Listerine, you will only earn a RR for one)

*You also typically cannot use the Register Rewards earned from a promotion on the same promotion and earn Register Rewards again. For example, if you buy the Listerine and use the RR from that to buy more, the RR will not print

*Register Rewards are considered to be “manufacturer’s coupons” and you can only use one manufacturer’s coupon per item. You will have to add “filler” items if you are using a manufacturer’s coupon and a RR. The in ad coupons often have good, inexpensive filler items. (check out the weekly match-ups for ideas)

*If you are using more than one RR in a transaction, always give the RR with the highest value FIRST. Sometimes strange things happen with coupons and taxes and even if you think you have planned out your scenario very well, you will end up with more overage than you planned for.

*If you are buying items that would result in a “free” item or “overage” when combining a store coupon and a manufacturer’s coupon, give the manufacturer’s coupon FIRST, and the store coupons LAST to avoid beeping/issues at the register! Make sure that you are purchasing enough items in your total transaction to “cover” the overage. You will not get cash back and you will have to add items to cover the overage or they will not take the coupon.

*If your Register Reward doesn’t print for some reason and you have fulfilled all of the obligations for the “deal” (including not using RR from the same parent company to pay) DO NOT let them tell you it is because you used coupons! Chances are they didn’t print because the catalina machine is not working. You have two choices: you can return your items and try again or you can contact the catalina company by doing the following:
*The store will give you a form to fill out and mail in to catalina
*Call 1-877-210-1917, option 1
