Target deals for the week of 11/1: Hot toy deals, cereal, wipes, and more!!

November 3, 2009 by

This week is a great week if you’ve been in a bit of a Target rut lately!

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. You can read/print their coupon policy here.

HOT TOY COUPONS! There are some great printable Target toy coupons here. There are also some great manufacturer’s coupons (and likely some great sales to come) which will match up with these deals to make things even sweeter!

Here are a few deals I see already:

*Wii Games are on sale buy 2, get one free this week. Prices start at $14.99 and there are several “premium” titles on sale for $49.99. There is a $10/2 Target Wii games coupon here.

So, if you buy 3 premium titles, you pay $89.99 for all three or $29.99/each. If you buy three of the $14.99 titles, you pay $19.98 for 3 games!

The trick here is to find three games that are similar in price because the lowest priced one will be free!

*Connect 4X4 is on sale this week for $14.99. There is a $5/1 printable coupon here and a $5/1 Target coupon here (this is for the Sponge Bob version so this will only work if that is part of the sale). Final cost for the game after coupons is $4.99! If your store is out of these games this week because of the sale, don’t forget to ask for a rain check! (**There are also free Domino’s pizza coupons inside specially marked boxes!!)

Clue Secrets & Spies, Pictureka Flipper, and Guesstures are $23.99 regularly. Use the $5/1 Target coupon here and the $5/1 printable coupon here and get them for $13.99 (or wait for a sale and get them for even less!)

*The Leap Frog Tag reading system is $39.99. Use the $10 manufacturer’s coupon here and the $10 Target coupon here and get it for $19.99!

*Leap Frog Tag Jr. is currently priced at $28.99. Use the $10 Target coupon here (people have reported on multiple blogs/message boards that this is working with the Jr. system because it does not specify) and the $5 manufacturer’s here and get it for $13.99!

*Leap Frog Alphabet Pal is priced at $19.99. Use the $10 coupon here and get it for $9.99. Ours has been through two kids now and both have LOVED it.

*LeapFrog My Puppy Pal is $14.99. Use the $5 Target coupon here and get it for $9.99!

A few other hot deals:
*Kellogg’s cereals are priced at $2.66 each – buy 3 and get 1 free (items pictured in ad include Raisin Bran Crunch, Special K Red Berries, and Frosted Flakes)

There are $1/1 Special K Blueberries coupons here

There is also a $1/1 Kellogg’s printable here (expires 11/17) – the Target coupons state “one per transaction” – my stores only allow one per transaction, so my scenarios will only include one per transaction….you may find other scenarios on other sites…

Target toy deals for the week of 9/20

September 22, 2009 by

Yesterday I highlighted some great toy and game deals at Toys ‘R Us. I did the weekly Target match-ups on Sunday, but thought I’d highlight a few of their toy and game deals today in case you’re starting your holiday shopping early!

Family Game Night Deal: Buy Hungry Hungry Hippos Game, Connect 4X4 game, Bop It! game, or Monopoly Championship Edition game – on sale for $15/each, get a 2 liter Pepsi drink and free Doritos item

There is a $4/1 printable coupon for Hungry Hungry Hippos and Connect 4X4 here – get the whole package for $11 using this coupon!

Get Pictureka Flipper, Giraffalaff Limbo, Clue Secrets & Spies, or Guesstures for $20. There are printable coupons for $5/1 Clue Secrets & Spies, $5/1 Pictureka Flipper, and $4/1 Giraffalaff Limbo here making these $15-16/each after coupon.

“Classic” games such as Othello, Rummikub, Yahtzee, Mastermind, and Rubik’s along with preschool games such as Cootie, Let’s Go Fishin’, Eric Carle From Head to Toe, and Yahtzee Jr are on sale for $7. In previous years, the cheapest I have seen these is during the Black Friday sales when they are usually about $5, so this is a great deal!

This is not in the ad, but the regular price on the Cranium preschool games is $9.99. This includes Puppy Pals Bingo, Polar Bear A-B-C, and Duck Duck 1-2-3. There is a $5 off printable Target coupon here making these $4.99/each. You can also get the regular version of Cranium for $14.99 using this coupon.

Right now, all Tag and Tag Jr. books are on sale for $9.99. There is a printable coupon for $4 off the Tag books and $3 off the Tag Junior books here. If you don’t have the Tag reading system yet, there is also a $10 off coupon making it $29.99.

In store deals – 12/19/08: Kroger, Target, Toys ‘R Us, Walgreens and more!

December 19, 2008 by

These are the deals that I have seen so far. Please feel free to share any deals you have also!

Gap Outlet: They will be having a huge sale starting today with 60% off original prices.

Gymboree Outlet: All sweaters will be $12.99. All microfleece will be 50% off.

Hallmark: Get three .99 cards for $1 using this printable coupon here.

Kroger: Huggies diapers/Pull Ups are on sale this week for $9.99/each. When you use your card, you get an instant $3 off. There are $1 and $1.50 manufacturer’s coupons out there from the inserts and home mailers and $2 Pull Ups coupons (printable, inserts, and mailers). There are also coupons that you can load onto your Kroger card for $1.50 and $1 off at Cellfire.com and Shortcuts.com. I think the cheapest way to do this is to buy 2 packages of Huggies diapers (one regular/one Supreme). Use the $1 off manufacturer’s coupons if you have them. The $1.50 and $1 will come off from Cellfire and Shortcuts. The $3 will come off instantly. If you have all the coupons, it should be $11.48 for 2 packages. If you have receipts for at least 5 packages, you can send in for the rebate from Caregivers making it $9.48 for 2 packages (or $4.74/package).

You can also get free Cottonelle toilet paper with the coupons from Cellfire and Shortcuts along with your manufacturer’s coupons and free Colgate Total toothpaste with the $1.50 Cellfire coupon and your printable $1.50 coupons.

Toys ‘R Us:
They are having BIG sales this weekend (some deals are online and in store and some are online only).

Here are a few of the good ones that will be expiring:
*$2/1 Archer Farms ham – use to purchase the ham steaks which are ranging in price from about $2.02-$2.50 (so they will be .02 to .50/each after the coupon)
*$1/1 Fresh Cauliflower or Broccoli – Broccoli is on sale 3/$4 this week which makes it .33 each after the coupon
*$1/2 Kellogg’s Pop Tarts – YMMV, but the boxes of these are $1.78 in my stores. Combine this coupon with the $1/2 manufacturer’s coupons that are out there and you pay .78/box of Pop Tarts
*$1/2 Pillsbury refrigerated baked goods – There are biscuits in a green package (you can view them here) that are priced at $1.07 at my stores. If you buy 6 of these and use 3 $1/2 printables combined with the .75/3 manufacturer’s coupon (blinkie), you will pay .32/can. If you don’t have the printables and buy 2, it’s .57/can which still isn’t a bad deal. My stores have also had a number of the ready to bake cookies on sale 2/$4. There are $1.50/2 blinkie coupons, so you pay $1.50 for two packages of ready to bake cookie dough.
*$1/2 Quaker cereal – Life has been on sale 2/$4 at my stores. Combine this with a $1/2 manufacturer’s coupon and pay $1/box (this definitely isn’t the best price ever for cereal, but if you like Life, it’s not a bad deal).

Thrifty Thursday: Christmas on a Budget

December 19, 2008 by

Each year, I start budgeting for Christmas in January. This enables me to buy things throughout the year when they go on sale. I was a little stressed this year because I really hadn’t come across many exciting deals, but then the Amazon deals came along and I made up for lost time.

I am still receiving boxes. I don’t think I will give the kids all of this for Christmas (I will probably put some of it away for their birthdays), but I just wanted to share that a little bit can go a LONG way and you don’t have to spend a lot of money for Christmas. I actually came in under budget for Christmas this year and will have money to start out my Christmas fund for next year.

My CVS trip for the week. I went in with the intention of buying just the Contour monitors. They are on sale for $14.99 this week and you earn a $5 ECB. I have a coupon good for up to $30 off. So, the cashier scanned my monitor and then my coupon and told me I needed $15 more in merchandise. This is NOT supposed to happen and I TOLD the cashier that she was supposed to adjust the coupon down, but she insisted she couldn’t. So, I ended up with all of these for some change OOP and earned $15.99 in ECBs.

My Walgreens trip. I lost count of how many Turtles I purchased. They are on sale for $.99 this week and there are $1.50/1 coupons. I bought them in sets of 11, used 7 coupons (you can’t use one coupon per item because then it beeps because of the overage), and paid .39/each. I went to different stores and did not clear shelves (there were still plenty left). I even shared leftover coupons with the cashiers!
