They were priced $3.49. In a recent insert there was a coupon for BOGO, so buy two and use the bogo q and the tq for a .50 mm. I was at Target today and found $2 TQ on Glade Fabric and Air.

I'm in northern Virginia, and there was no BIC coupon in our insert this past sunday. I did have the airwick thing, though, and managed to buy that at Target today for free. In addition to there not being a BIC coupon in the paper, the price of the 10-pack of pens was $1.00 in the store, not 50 cents. I guess you win some, you lose some! :) flutemom, I think the same thing. I’m in northern Virginia, and there was no BIC coupon in our insert this past sunday.

Anybody else think that? *my* smart source did not have the bic pen coupons or the airwick freshmatic that you mention in your post. it is very discouraging to read the good deals available, only to find those coupons are not in my sunday paper inserts. :-( i am noticing that the smart source and other coupon collections must be different based on geographical location.

The ALL detergent is in the travel area for my store as well... however, the cashiers aren't accepting the coupons for them. Kathryn, the $1 section at my store is right when you walk in the right.

I also got combos for 50 cents a bag (usually $1.79 but on price drop to $1.50 minus $1 with Target Q). My poptarts were still $1.52 a box, so with the $1.oo off 2 recent q’s and the 75 cents off one Target q, I paid 27 cents per box. My bill was alomst $30 but I paid a little over $5…I love Target!Also at Walgreens right now, there is a coupon booklet in the front of the store (back to school) with a $2 off Huggies wipes coupon. My store carries these for $2.79 and allowed me to stack with the recent 50 cents off insert q…super cheap wipes-may fav!

I know they are FREE so shame on me for complaining...but everytime I put them in my camera they literally work for about 2-3 uses and they are DONE. They seem to work a bit longer in Kids toys, but still have a very short life span. On the Rayovak Batteries…does anyone else notice that they go dead really quick?

I always loved shopping there and the last three times have had unbelievable problems using valid coupons. I called corporate customer service after the last problem and they said if I had the same problem next time to call them on my cell phone from the checkout. What a joke. I am 8 months pregnant and am not in the mood to have myself and my husband embarrased while the people in line behind us groan and moan. Target, please figure out a coupon policy and make sure everyone, including the managers and trainers I have run into at my local store, know the policy. I now detest Target.
