Three cheers for all the drugstores with $4 generics! And now Wal-Mart has started selling 3 months of some generics for $10. Wow! For my other meds that aren’t generic I use the prescription discount card that I found at http://www.rxdrugcard.com. Low membership fee. Drug prices posted to check before you join.

I just called target customer service—-the COMPANY policy is that the manager can adjust the price of the item up to the amount of the coupon so that it comes out free. So, they might not give you overage but they can give you the item free. She said that if I ever have that problem again (mgr refusing to adjust it) to pick up one of the red phones in the store and it goes to customer service–and they will speak to the manager.

grrrr….I went to a different target than my usual yesterday. I have never had a problem using the coupons if they are over–I either get an overage or they adjust the coupon down. Well…I had to put a lot back b/c the manager refused to take my coupons b/c they were .03 over. I asked if she would adjust the coupon and she refused, and I was pretty much accused of having COPIES of coupons!!!! I was so frustrated…definitely taking my coupons to Wal-Mart, where I have had no problem before.

The clearance racks at my Target were great yesterday. (I live in Virginia.) I don’t know whether this would be the case at all Targets right now, or if it is just my local store. But I think it’s worth checking out if you’re there! I was able to get a Schick Quattro razor and 4 ct. cartridge set for less than $1, along with some other bargains. Also, many of the health and beauty clearance items corresponded with recent insert coupons.

ugh! i had no problem using $1 on trial sized stuff last night, but today was a whole different situation! they wouldn’t adjust the coupon down so i left with one box of bandaids for $.58. i’ve written to corporate and asked for details on what their policy is.

i can live without shopping for this stuff at target — i do pretty well at walgreen’s and kroger. i’m just mad at the inconsistency.

It appears like most of the folks who are having problems are having them only with the trial size items. I am wondering if Target is changing their policy on adjusting down coupons? I have not heard anything concretely on this, but perhaps this might be the case.

Until today I wouldn’t have believed that Target could be a problem. I am the one who gave the suggestion on the Tylenol, joint juice, band aids, and johnson’s trial stuff. Target had taken these coupons for me many times before with no trouble. Well, I had a few more coupons today and you wouldn’t believe the hassle I got. I think I will take my coupons to Walmart in the future. For those who still want to give it a try I have found all these items in the travel/trial size section by the pharmacy. The joint juice is on the bottled water/sports drink isle.

I had the same negative experience as some of the previous posters. It was awful. The cashier made me feel like a thief because she said “you’re just trying to get money back.” I specifically asked several times to have the value of the coupon adjusted. Very disappointing!

I had trouble also with them accepting $1 coupons when the product is under $1. I tried using the band-aid coupon for the trial sized band-aids and the cashier told me she couldn’t take the coupon cause the product like 98 cents. I also wanted to use my Target coupons for the colgate total toothpaste combined with a mc coupon and she wouldn’t accept those either. She said it wasn’t a Target coupon but it had a Target symbol right on the coupon???! I was frustrated and told her to forget it. Does anyone else have these problems?

Our Target has Herbal Essences shampoo and conditionar on sale for $2.94. There is a $2 off 2 Target coupon at A Full Cup, plus I also used 2 $1/1 coupons, making my total $.94 for each bottle. Plus, select Herbal Essences have a redemption for a free manicure or pedicure when you buy 2 specially marked bottles.

I just have a regular Target, and I am having issues with it. Last night I was able to get the Bath Buddies soap and Tylenol free, but they would not take my Johnson’s coupon for the travel-size soap (it was even the coupon that did not specify no trial size). Today I went back with a friend, and they wouldn’t even take the coupon for the Bath Buddies soap or bandaids… They said that they could not take a coupon that was more than the actual price of the item (they were all less than a dollar and the coupons were $1/1). Very, very disappointing. I found it weird that the Bath Buddies and Tylenol worked last night when they were both under a dollar…like I said, issues. :0)

Jodi,

I thought the same thing about the bandaids, but I found them with Hello Kitty on them in a 10 pack in the samples section near the pharmacy for .99

Has anyone in the KC area found the single serve Joint Juice at Target or Wal-Mart? If so, where in the store?

I don’t shop at Target, but I always try to print the Bath Buddies coupons when I see them to use at CVS to get them free. I just wanted to let you know that I was able to print the coupon from this link even though I had before (it’s the one that looks like softwash but says “any Johnson’s product” on it), so I think this has been reset. Thanks!

I went to my Target today (in Ohio) we do not have super Target, but just regular Target. I went to get the bandaids and tried to scan them at the price checker machine and they ALL rang up for the regular price of $1.97…. Very disppointing. Any ideas?

LUVS diapers just went on sale for $6.99 a jumbo pack, so it is a great deal now when you combine it with the printable coupon.

I had a horrible time at Target today! My free Scotch brite coupon would not scan, nor would a few others that I had for the trial sized items!! The manager would not do anything about it either. She said if it doesn’t scan, they can’t accept it. Anyone else having this problem? What should I do when it happens??

Can you please tell me how to get the clipless coupon card? I’ve seen it mentioned a few times and have no idea.
Thanks.

I got some of the above deals (like the All & Smart Bulb) plus my best deal of the night was buying the new Loreal Perfect 10 hair color. It was on sale for $11.99 with an instant $5 Target gift card. I used a $2 coupon and a bogo coupon so I got TWO boxes and made a penny!
($11.99 – $2(coupon) = $9.99 – $10.00(gc) = +.01)
