Target & Super Target Deals Thread. Keep OT to a minimum

Quote from purplefdu : Need thoughts and input. Today I bought the Kitchenaid Flamingo colored immersion blender ($39.99, $35.99 after mobile coupon), a tub of ice cream, and a thing of rolls. I used the mobile coupon for 10% off any Flamingo KA item. The screen showed 2/10 coupons used and prompted for a $5 GC. Anyone know? I'm hoping to pick up the coffee mill and hand mixer as well, but am hoping the GC will prompt for each if I can snag enough people's phones... .

This only sort of answers your question - but I think there must be some glitch right now, as I observed this occur at least one other time today.

Hmmm, no $5 GC in the ad, which is the first place I checked. No Promo shown in PDA.....must test out tomorrow.

Quote from josa76 : Also listerine is b3g1f. There are 1/1 printable T'qs and both 1/1 and 2/1 man q's too!

Thanks for the reminder on the printable TQ ! I couldn't go before my J&J Target insert expired and I was really mad. We love Listerine!

ETA: Is the kid's Listerine SmartRinse on sale as well?

Is this on all Listerine? Or just on the smaller sizes? The ones in the ad are listed as $2.99 so I'm assuming it's the 500ml size & all my coupons are for 1L or larger

Went to Target that used to have a lot of cribs left. They are all gone, and all baby furniture/strollers are still 50%. :-(

Sorry but I had to vent about target trip. First of all I had the worst cashier of all. After scanning all my items which consisted of four Advil, 8 barilla, 2 ragu pasta sauce, 2 pull ups and three gums and rest of grocery icecream baby food etc but when I gave him the coupons he said I cannot use the two $2 Advil coupons since it states limit one then I told him to take it out since I would buy them alone if that's the case he takes them off but not from the transaction . He then refused to take both the manufacturer coupons and target coupons saying you can't use both of them I told him yes we can but he won't budge so I asked him to scan whatever he can and I thought I would later go to the cs but still my order seemed high so after going through my receipt I saw that he hadn't taken off the Advil from the transaction ( $25) even though I asked him too also he took my barilla coupons four of them but didnt even scanned one of them so when i asked him about it and he said to go to customer service so I went there and there was the lady who is the meanest of all instead of asking the cashier she asked me to show all my stuff like I was lying and stealing I was mad but I kept my cool and showed her all my bags and then she asked me who the cashier is and what lane I said I don't know go ask yourself and then she came but dissappointed since I was right so she did the return grudgingly and when I told him that her that the cashier had also kept my coupons but didn't scan them she was so mad she went back to the cashier and return and started accusing me of using too much coupons she said I can't use both TQ and MQ for the same item I said yes I can its the target policy but she won't budge the. She showed me that I had use two MQ for the gum and one TQ for the gum and I said yes I can use since I bought three gums so I used a $1/2 and one $.75/1 and one TQ for .50 extra gum but She won't listen and even threatened me no you can't and I can deny you like she is the owner of target. Also she said the cashier was wrong since you used both ragu pasta sauce coupons for tq and mq which i cant do . She was mad at me for using too much coupons but she didn't apologized once for the fault of her cashier who hasn't taken out the Advil from my transaction what if I had not seen at that time and came back would she had believed me ?? No Never since at that moment she checked my bags how would she believe me later !!
I was so mad and it was late I the night with my toddler crying since he was sleepy. I just told her to give me back my coupons and I would go home she did that but she didn't stop talking to her fellow cashier at the customer service that how this lady is stealing and cheating using both coupons and laughing and I was mad at target for not implementing their own policy training to their employees i spent $80 in that transaction but i am not going to shop target anymore i thats the way they treat their customer. Why they call us guest when they don't even know how to behave with a guest.

What do you think I would have done. it generally doesn't happen In This target on weekends the cavalier and both manage are nice but this lady is always there on week days and that's how she behaves with othe too should I report her to target what you guys thinks

That sounds unbelievably frustrating -- I am sure we have all been in your shoes one time or another and I hate that feeling.

I always try to stay sweet, I have found that except for a very few select circumstances, it is always in my best interest (and therefore IMO the best interest of fellow couponers in my area, bc we are all judged by one another's behavior) to be patient and kind even in the face of total obstinance or ignorance.

Again, I've found it's always best to stay kind and calm. So many cashiers and managers are just uninformed and acting in what they think is in the best interest of the store and/or themselves. It isn't really their fault. If you have ever worked in retail and been to training you will recall there's next to NO training on how to deal with coupons. That's why there's such a huge range of approaches to it.

The vast majority of the untrained adhere to some basic principles/beliefs, including that coupons cost them/their store money, most coupons are limited to one per person/per order/per item etc., and if you got something for free you used the coupon wrong. So I feel it's our job to educate them, but I always try to make them feel like THEY figured it out and not like I just proved them WRONG. Maybe instead of whipping out my copy of the policy and being like, "LOOK! RIGHT HERE!" I would be like, "Do you have a copy of the coupon policy we could read together?"

Whenever I've tried something like that, most of the time they will read it to me, out loud, so eager to prove me wrong and then they will realize their mistake. Sometimes they will still try to limit how many I can use, but it's a start

Recap for Saturday, February 2


Reminder!
I noticed these past few days few people raised the question regarding missed coupons, so I wanted to emphasize how important is that you check you receipt prior to leaving the store.

Quote : Quote from cheftinarocky : Cashier missed literally over $20 of my coupons today! I didnt know what to do, so I just sucked it up and left Quote from tn_native : I don't understand how this happens. You don't hand the cashier your wallet and say, take what you need, so why hand over ALL your Qs at one time (and have the possibility of some Qs being missed). I think wisdom from a long time shopper (either mofome, dpags or slowtech) was state "I need to go thru the Qs, as I know I didn't pick up something, so we can just do a few at a time". I personally group mine: three Dove, four Ragu, etc. I never leave the store (any store) without first looking at the receipt. It's so much easier to fix it right then and there instead of later. ETA: I realize folks start couponing every day. Everyone was new at this at one time. I've just been at it for over 30 years.

Quote from granniebell : LOTS OF CLOTHES 70% OFF! As always you have to hunt for your size so might be worth it if you have the time & they have your size Don't forget to have the web $5 coupons handy in case the stars line up in your favor. (they did for me last night!) Combined I had over $25 in clothes and all of the $5 coupons scanned. (had 1 pair of demins in the mix) couple of the things I bought, as they say "trying to add a POP OF COLOR"

Coupons:

Quote from tarribear : Not sure if they are still out there but found peelies on the larger bottles of Vaseline Lotion, works on the 3oz size. So free 1.84 lotion when u use it with the TQ.

Quote from koths : anyone see baby items stroller set, crib, play-yard etc...going to 70% today?

I saw a glider, bassinet and cribs at 70% off today. I am so surprised that they're still there!

Quote from josa76 : signs are up for buy 4 something or the other get a $5 gift card. all i know is that axe body wash is included! they were 3.99. if the b2g1f q's auto at 5.99 could be a pretty decent deal! sadly my q's i ordered over a week ago are loooooossssstttt ;(

Has anyone done this deal? I was wondering if the coupon autos for 5.99. I have 2 coupons and the boys need body wash!

Honestly, I think Target is always YMMV. I have fought my battles and decided that it's not worth my sanity to become their own coupon trainer. When I have my kiddos or I'm in a rush or whatever - if something doesn't work, I just ask for my coupons back and take the stuff out of the transaction. If I am being overcharged (like you were), I just go to CS and say, "I just bought this. I thought the price was different and I need to return it." So, if I had been in your shoes, I would've gone to CS and told them, "I just bought these items. I need to return the Advil, and the cashier took some coupons but did not scan them. Here's the receipt." and let them take it from there. This cashier would've probably done the whole "no stacking" dance routine with me anyway. When that happens, I just say "Oh, OK. Then go ahead and do a full return" and I ask for my coupons back. They feel they're in control of the situation, there's no confrontation, less stress on you and everyone can go about their merry business.
