The coupon says one per transaction, but does that mean I have to do totally different transactions or is it one per item? I offered to do another transaction and was told no because it defeats the purpose on one per transaction. What is that about???? Calling Corp. tomorrow to see what they say. What a waste of time.

The cashier was very rude when I tried to use the Banana Boat coupons and Degree coupons. I called corporate right from the store. The customer service rep at guest relations told me to the hand the phone to the cashier. After the cashier spoke with guest relations, I had no problem. However, I haven't gone back there with coupons again because originally I was humiliated because she was carrying on as if I was a criminal. I had the same problem at my Target a couple months ago.

Even with that printed RIGHT next to her register, the cashier still gave me a hard time about stacking coupons. Oh, and no luck on the trial size with $1 off, either.

I had a copy of their coupon policy in hand with me and they would still not honor my coupons. It took a call into Target Corporate and the Store Manager to get it resolved. The store manager was very nice and said they even just had training on their coupon policy! It sounds like many Targets need to re-train! Stand your ground at Target.

I put together my coupons in a few minutes and went shopping. Thanks to the help of your posts I was totally shocked to see the result. I bought the following: 2 Electrosol 15 ct 3in1 tabs 3 skittles 4 8ct poptarts 4 boxes Kelloggs Cinnabon bars 1 Hillshire Farms lunchmeat 6 General Mills Single Serve Cereals 3 Trial Size Clean & Clear Morning Burst 5 Crest Advanced Whitening Strips 4 T.S. Almay Eye Makeup Remover Pads 5 T.S. Head & Shoulders 2 Carmex lip balms 2 Del Monte Fruit Chillers TubesI had coupons for everything and some were even stacked with Target Coupons. To my utter amazement my OOP was a whopping 22 cents!!! The cashiers even cheered and clapped. Between this trip to Target and Kmart doubles this week it was an AWESOME week. Thanks for all the information. I am relatively new at this (since January) and appreciate all the help. Without you it would be so much harder!!

I was very frustrated at Target today when I tried to purchase the Skittles. The cashier told me that they can't take a coupon for something that doesn't cost as much as the coupon - that it just doesn't work. She spoke to her superior & they ended up running it thru but she said they are really not supposed to. I guess I will try to get a hold of their coupon policy like someone above mentioned.

They refused to take any of the trial size items that I tried and would never take two coupons for one item. I could not get the Kellogg's items, Baked lays, etc. Is it included in the policy that they should take the target coupon and manufactors coupon?

There was a problem with the Skittles coupon but the cashier asked if I had the right variety and showed him that I did and he rang it through.

I used four of each coupon with no questions.

I had a very interesting experience yesterday at Target, with all of the scenarios above... I had a rain check for the AirWick $5.99 air fresheners from last week, and they refused to use my coupon because the picture on the coupon is not exactly the same, even though the description, etc. was. I tried to be as polite as possible - but they were very rude and treated me like a criminal. When I got home I emailed corporate and they have a call in... I will see what comes of it. :( Although they did send me the coupon policy, which is printed and neatly tucked into my coupon binder.

They insisted the cereal coupon had to be for a box of cereal not the individual size because there was a picture of a box on the coupon. Very frustrating.
