The Up&Up Handsoap coupon beeped! Anyone else find the same thing? So I was not able to purchase it, even though the Target Coupon shows the picture on the coupon.
Other great finds: Crayola Digital Light Designer. 50% off @$24.95…and used a 20% off Target coupon…making it $19.95.
BabyGanics Diapers $13.98 clearance for 108 diapers. Used the $4 off Target and the $1.50 MFG cpn, making them $8.48.
stephanie @ Housewife Mama says
Did most of this today in NC (minus the tuna and pizza and only 4 of the coffee). The only different is that my bottles of fish oil were on sale for $7.99, but still a good price
Hanneke says
Gretchen, thanks for the great deals, LOVE your posts! I went and scored some of your deals tonight. I also saw a trail size pack of up and up laundry detergent for $.49c in my store, which with the mobile coupon,FREE! LOVE FREE STUFF! ibuprofen was all gone :(. Also I used both my husbands and mine cellphones in two separate transactions, double score!
Melissa says
How do you get mobile coupons?
Tori says
Start with this website http://www.target.com/spot/mobile/landing and you will receive a message to sign up again with your phone. Afterwards, they will send another message saying you will begin to receive coupons within a couple weeks, and then like 2 minutes later, I got the link for the coupons for this week.
Britnee says
You did great! My phone sadly dies when I go into a Target (is time to upgrade but eh) this happened to me last time I went there. The manager gave me discount from the mobile coupons manually. No hassle at all. 🙂
Cheryle says
You did really well Gretchen. For the target mobile coupons, did you have to sign up for automatic delivery? I tried to get the vegetable mobile coupon. When I texted them, they directed me to a sign-up page. If I sign up, will I get all of their mobile coupons?
Tori says
I went to this website, http://www.target.com/spot/mobile/landing signed up and it sent me a text with another link to sign-up from my phone. Once I did that, it send another message saying I should get my coupons within a couple weeks. Within 2 minutes, I received one more message and it was a link to the coupons.
Megan says
I didn’t see anything in the ad about the nature made fish oil being buy 2, get $5 target gift card. Where did you see this at?
Becky says
Great job, Gretchen. You should also consider downloading the Cartwheel app if you have a smartphone. They have 10% off all Up & Up products with that app (along with tons of other discounts, many on Market Pantry items). And you can combine the Cartwheel discount with a manufacturer’s coupon, Target coupon, and Red Card Discount.
Mandy M says
If you don’t have a smartphone, you can do Cartwheel on your computer and print it out. My sil just did this to get the 10% off up & up diapers.
Julie says
Thanks for asking that Mandy. I had tried to do that before but it wouldn’t let me in without signing in through Facebook which I refuse to do (they don’t need access to all my friends information). I tried today and was able to sign in via my Target account. I selected the Up & Up offer and then there was a place to print the code to take to the store. I haven’t used it yet but it should work.
jen says
I made a 2nd Facebook account for freebies and apps that I don’t want on my regular account. that way I don’t have to give them access to my friends and I still get the freebies if they require a facebook account.
Mary G. says
Very impressive. I’m amazed at what you put together each week and how much you save. Great job!
Julie says
Two questions – for the coffee items, how did you get 5 of the $2 mobile coupons and did you pay for everything in one transaction? My Target will only allow one of a particular coupon per transaction. Actually the printed coupons say one per guest, not per transaction. The printed coupons usually allow you to get two which I am able to use on different days. Thanks.
Lana says
Same at my store. For me I just skip Target since they are so fussy about coupons.
Jessica says
I live in a town with six different Targets and they’re all different about coupon policies. It’s frustrating to say the least.
Gretchen says
I have 2 computers (2 coupons print per computer) and then my mobile coupons. My Target is super nice about coupons and will usually let me use 2 of the same Target coupons per transaction. Yesterday, they let me use all 5 of my coffee coupons. I have a great Target and this is why I drive the 15 minutes to shop there. 🙂
Julie says
Thanks for the explanation. That won’t fly at my Target but glad you are able to enjoy the savings.
Emily M says
My Target is the same way. They allow 4 identical coupons per transaction (even their store coupons) and 1 Target coupon and 1 mfc per item.
Johanna @ Nephilim the Remnants says
Great job Gretchen!!! Very Impressive!
guest says
I was wondering this as well. My target will usually allow 2 of each item, but they have to be in separate transactions.
Michelle H. says
Wow! That’s an awesome haul.
Susan says
That’s pretty amazing.
