Target: Deals for the week of November 2-November 8, 2008

Our Tulsa, Oklahoma stores have the carrots 2/$3 so no free carrots here. ;-(

I’m new to your blog and finding it very helpful. I’m wondering are the Target deals only good at Target’s with grocery stores? Do I need a coupon for the $5 gift card or does it automatically come up at the register when those items are purchased? Thanks for your help!

The cereal deal is actually even sweeter: the Target online ad says you get a free gallon of milk if you buy 5 boxes of Kellogg’s cereal. . . .

I hate that my nearest Target is like 40 miles away as there certainly seems to be many great deals there.

I just got back from Target and ALL Kellogg’s cereals (and cereal straws) were included with the deal. Some were priced as low as $2.50, so the deal can be even better than expected.

Also, it seems the Gift Card is available in some areas, and the Free Milk is for other areas. (I got the gift card in Nebraska, my sister would get the milk in Florida)

My target had the Frosted Flakes Gold priced at $1.99 so if you bought 5 boxes of this they would be pretty much free, just pay the tax. There were also several more types of kellogg’s cereal included which weren’t listed in the ad. I picked up some raisin bran as well.

I was allowed to print five coupons from the same computer! I was surprised.

At my store, it wasnt always prompting the cashier for the gift card so make sure you point it out!

Rice Krispies are also included and they were $2.54 at my store.
I bought the RK, Smart Start, Fruit Loops, Apple Jacks and Blueberry mini wheats.

I also got the glade deal – the warmers with a b1g1 coupon and the candle refills with a $2/2 coupon. 50c after gift card!!! (had b1g1 coupons for the candles but they were all out!)

My cashier was so easy to work with and even asked where i got the Kelloggs coupons! LOL

@nicole … i read elsewhere that people were suppose to buy this mag but tried it without doing it and it worked…my target is selling the holiday glade candles for $2.50 but there isn’t a g/c deal..but with the B1G1 Q’s and the $2/1 Q they are only 25 cents…still a great deal!

Money Saving Mom here: From what I have read and heard, some Targets state in their promotion you have to buy the magazine but many do not. I’d read the fine print on the sign to see what it says. From what I’ve heard, at most Target stores, you only need to buy 4 Glade products to get the gift card.

I just came back from Target and the shelf sign on the Glade deal there says “Buy 4 holiday Glade AND InStyle Mag. I asked a Target crew and coincidentally, she said she just bought 4 of them this weekend without the magazine and it prompted for a GC.

I’ve been to two other stores last week and both of them have different signs, one just says “$5 GC when you buy 4 Holiday Glade” and at the other it says “$5 GC when you buy 4 Holiday Glade OR Instyle Magazine”.

The crew was saying it might have been a misprint; I guess it varies by region.

From what I can make out at my store it appears you have to BUY 4 ITEMS TOTAL. THIS INCLUDES THE CANDLES AND/OR MAGAZINES. (ANY COMBINATION) SO IF YOU BOUGHT 3 CANDLES AND 1 MAGAZINE THAT WOULD WORK OR 4 CANDLES OR 4 MAGAZINES.
IT IS BEST TO BUY 4 MAGAZINES SO YOU CAN USE 4 HIGH VALUE COUPONS BUT THERE IS A COUPON OUT FOR THE MAGAZINE THAT CAME OUT A FEW WEEKS AGO SO YOU COULD USE THAT ONE TOO IF YOU REALLY LIKE THE MAGAZINE.

Thanks so much for all the hard work you do. I was getting ready to make my Target run to get in on the cereal deal, when I noticed they had Opti-Free contact solution on sale in the DFW area. While going through the 11/02 inserts I came across a coupon for Opti-Free. I thought it was worth sharing. Target has Opti-Free 2/$14.00 ($7.00 ea) Coupon is for $3.50 off one. So I got my 5 boxes of cereal then used my $5.00 GC and 2 Q’s on the 2 Opti-Free on #2 Trans. and OOP was $2.00 Total OOP was a little over $5.00.

oops…I meant gladE
