(The 7/21 RP1 also has a $1 manufacturer coupon too, and Target’s site also has a .75 store printable.)

“No Coupon Needed” Deals

Comments

  1. Buy 4 Hormel REV Wraps (3/$5 or $1.66 ea) = $6.66
    -$1.66 (one will be FREE with Target Deal)
    -$1/2 Hormel REV wraps Target Coupon
    -$1/2 Hormel Rev Wraps 6-23 SS or $1/2 REV Wraps Printable Coupon
    = $3 for 4. If your store allows a coupon on a SALE freebie – use one more…
    -$1/2 Hormel Rev Wraps 6-23 SS or $1/2 REV Wraps Printable Coupon
    = $2 for 4 or .50 cents each after coupons and freebie (regularly $1.79 each)

  2. I’m gonna buy 9 two will be free plus 3 /$1 off coupons so that’s 9 for $7 or .77 each.

  3. Just an FYI-the coupon link that said $1 off 3 Target store coupon is printing as a manufacturer coupon. Darn!

  4. I went to the Orland Park Target and there was not any signs about the gc deal and when i went to the register nothing popped up for multiple varieties. Maybe it was a regional sale? Thanks for trying though. Thanks for all of your awesome blogging

  5. There were no signs and it didn’t ring up buy 3 get one free. I bought 8 and none were free. Is this a special offer that you have to load to cartwheel or a coupon they text?

  6. Oreos are on sale for $3 each with an instant $2 savings when you buy 3 packages. If you have the Back To School Savings booklets you can use 3 – $1 Coupons and this will net you 3 packages of oreos for $4!
    I used my red card so I saved a few cents more but it’s about $1.33 a package :-)

  7. I’ve been day late dollar short lately in getting to read the site. But just thought others should know Dove Qs $2 and $.75 have met limit.

  8. For those having any issues with the Dove Clinical deodorant deal, my sister sent this photo over:

    She took this picture this afternoon at the Yorktown Target. She said the deal is working fine & prompts the register for a gift card automatically when two are purchased.

    She also said that some of the Dove Men’s had a bonus deodorant stuck to it in the same package – these DO work for the deal too! (Note that the $3 coupon is only good for women’s though.) What a steal.

  9. So, the cashier wouldn’t let the Gilette coupon through. She said it wouldn’t work. She looked to see if the product matched the coupon (it did) but then said, “Welp, the computer says it’s over the limit, so you can go get another one.” I told her that the coupon was for three “shave prep” and that’s what I bought…she tried it again, the register refused, so I just told her to take them off.

    I hate when a coupon doesn’t work when it should AND when a cashier doesn’t attempt to solve the problem. By that time, someone got in line behind me so I didn’t want to explore other options…bummer.
