After having trouble with Target accepting coupons over the value of the product, I emailed Target and asked for their coupon policy. They emailed back and confirmed that they can adjust the coupon down to the price of the product. I printed out the email and brought it with me this time. They still gave me trouble. It took 2 people plus one manager. Finally the manager said I could use the coupons but I could not get anything for free. He would have to charge one penny for each item. Fine. But then only ONE of my four coupons would scan/be accepted. Plus by that point everyone behind me in line had cleared out and gone to other lines. Basically I have decided for me – couponing at Target is not worth it. I love CVS shopping, but I am done with Target for coupons. The cashiers are not trained on coupons and they are just over all not coupon-friendly.

Kroger strawberries (1 lb) are on sale this week for 99 cents, but when I went in to Target last night their Driscoll strawberries (1 lb) were $1.79 making them only 79 cents if you print off the $1/1 Target Driscoll strawberry coupon.

Amanda, don’t know if anyone answered you, but I get my Target coupons here:

Scroll down and they’re all there… I usually do PageSetup to Landscape and I can get 6 coupons/page. You can print multiple coupons off this site.

I did my first Target coupon try tonight after work. I stacked, got gift cards etc – was VERY happy. I felt bad because I did have 1 coupon that was expired. I appologized profusely and I was horrified that I missed it. Do you all hand your coupons over at the end of the transaction? That is always what I do. All in order, lined up with barcodes all in the same place. By the time they are scanning the items, the product is all in bags and my cart already. The computer takes care of if the coupons are valid (coupon for 2 items – if you didn’t buy 2 it will beep etc) I have always had good luck, because they aren’t watching an item get scanned for 99 cents and then immediately see a coupon for a dollar.
My walgreens clerks enjoy me coming in and seeing how much I saved – I do the same thing there – coupons in a stack at the end and all in order.

My Target (CA) had the snack sized Ziploc’s on clearance for $1.50. Use the $1/1 coupon and that makes them .50 each.

I have never had ANY store give me any trouble with coupons except Target. There are about 6 Target stores that are pretty accesible to me either at home, at work, or somewhere along my commute, and I have had issues with them accepting coupons at all of them. It’s not every transaction, but enough to be frustrating. Mostly it is their own coupons that they have issues with, which seems odd… Often even after reviewing the Target Coupon Policy (that I now carry in my coupon holder!) they still don’t honor what it says or make up their own rules.

It is very frustrating, and if they didn’t have such good deals with all of the coupon matchups I would vow never to go there again. Since that started happening I’ve only ever bought my “deals” there and refuse to buy anything outside of that. I’ve gotten to the point where I eye up all of the cashiers and go to the one I think won’t give me a hassle. I know which ones to avoid now because of the problems I’ve had, and recognize the ones that have been really accomodating in the past.

It’s really unfortunate because I really value Target’s business model, their community involvement, and how they give so generously. I think there is a major lack of training with their cashiers on their coupon policy.

I was just at Target and randomly went down the shampoo aisle. Not the main shampoo aisle, but the aisle with the more expensive shampoos. There was a “Try Me Free” mail-in rebate on the top of most of the Organix shampoos and conditioners. Other stores might have it as well, but I saw it at Target.

I would like to know where everyone gets the coupons from. I’ve never been a coupon saving gal… but I’m trying to start. I need to buy a subscription to a newspaper don’t I?

I had several problems today at target with the ohio region, I made the clerk give me the price of the item instead of the whole dollar and she was rude but did it for me when I asked for a manager. I have been having trouble with alot of the places taking the coupons we get online.

Went to target yesterday and the Eggo Bake Shop items were still on sale!Picked those up as well as Edy’s, strawberries and corn (10 for $1). (Boy, was I supermom when I got home!) There were also nice steaks on sale for 3.99/lb plus $1 off coupons, so not bad. I also found a lot of porkchops with $2.50 coupons on them. Great day at Target! I didn’t have this whole list, so it looks like I need to make a return trip. THANKS MSM!

Last week there was also a $1/3 coupon for Haggen-Daaz 4 oz (individual) cups on coupons.com or smartsource.com to make it a money-maker!

Also, anyone know if the Eggo Bake Shop products are still on sale for $1.50 or so? I have a bunch of the $1/1 printables from last week, but did not make it to Target last weekend. Thanks in advance!

Email corporate and ask for a coupon policy. I did and received a very friendly reply detailing that you are allowed to use internet coupons and that they should at least adjust the price to the price of the item.

I had my Target cashier tell me yesterday that she couldn’t accept any Target web coupons. She said it didn’t make sense to her either, but she had to do as told. Anybody else have that problem?

I have also had trouble at Target with coupons lately. I was not able to use the Nextcare bandaid coupons or the crystal light coupons. I was told I could not get the item for free…that I had to pay something on it! I am confused…does anyone know where I can get a copy of their policy?

My target would not let me use the crystal light coupon because it is .99 and the coupon is for $1.00. Cashier was very rude. This is the 3rd time I’ve had trouble with Target taking my coupons lately. Is anyone else having trouble with them?

Crystal Light link says, “There are no coupons available for this campaign.”
