Love the signature, we all heart double coupons. Why oh why can't Target double the coupons? I'm sad that I heard Kmart will only be doubling up to $1 next time. That changes the whole game! Frown Couponing is not only for savings, it is for sport! You just keep doing it and doing it to see how good you can get and how much you can save. Then when you have a semi ok run where the cashier or other customers are in awe, you aren't even impressed yourself and think I could have done better.

I have some questions for some long-time Targeteers.

I received a pass for "10% off an entire day of shopping" in my mailbox. It's the first thing I've ever gotten from Target. It's from a Target baby registry thing I had filled out a LONG time ago. It says "Save 10% on all your registry items for one entire day at all Target stores. Please bring your registry print out and this certificate to any Target store to save on items left on your registry."

Do you have to have your registry to use this? Will it work on everything that I buy in that transaction..? It also says "Check expiration date, scan UPC, and return to guest." Does that mean it can be used multiple times? Over multiple weeks, or JUST for that one day..? Just wondering if anyone has experience with one of these. Please feel free to PM me if you don't want to discuss anything here. Thanks for the help.. Smilie.
I had this with my wedding registry. The pass you received should have an expiration date on it. You can use it as many times as you want until it expires. Just ask for it back when you hand it to the cashier. If they give you a hard time, tell them you're planning on coming back later to get more stuff. You can even tell them you forgot a gift card at home and didn't have enough cash to buy everything you wanted.

Also, I remember that I changed the date of our wedding right after the wedding and added more stuff to the registry (laundry detergent, dishsoap, etc) so we could get the discount on that stuff too. We didn't buy anything that wasn't on the registry so I can't tell you if it worked on other stuff or not.

Hi I just read through the last few pages and was wondering what the new Target q policy is? Is it one q per transaction now? Confused I am going to T tomorrow and like to keep my runs as beepless as possible. Between the TGI Friday Q and the Rayvac Q beeping it is getting harder and harder.

I think the official policy is still a reasonable family quantity, but of course each store, cashier or LOD will have their own rules. The best bet is to use 5 or less of each coupon and hope for some Jedi cashiers. Until they have it in writing 1 like coupon per transaction, I think we should be able to use more.

One thing if you think about it, is that obviously the Target God's know that there is a difference between a purchase and a transaction, or they wouldn't have re-worded their own coupons to say one per transaction. If they believed that they were the same, they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of changing anything. This is something to point out when you get the one per purchase is the same as one per transaction spiel.

The 10% cards i have do have an expiration date on them and Target clearly says you cannot use them as many times as you want til it expires. What it does say is that you can use it as many times on the date of your choice.

It has to be the exact item on your registery...or at least that's how it worked a few years ago when I had DS. I had put a maturnity top on there and they had one in the store that was the same brand, same size, just different color. The register wouldn't take off the 10%. The cashier called the manager over and he said it had to be the exact same item for the register to take it.

Thanks! I never use more than 4 q in one transaction.shake head My T is close enough that I can go more frequently. I wish people would use moderation though. I really need to use coupons and would hate to see T change there policy.

Can anyone help me? I know I saw a deal on Fusion someplace this week, but I can't find it anymore. I didn't pay attention because I didn't think I had the coupons needed, but now I found them.
It's something about buying a fusion razor, using the $4 off coupon and then using the other coupon for a free body wash when you buy the fusion. There must be some sort of RR or ECB or something to go with it to make it a great deal. I've searched, but can't find it. HELP! Thanks!

I kept searching and found the deal in case anyone else is interested. At WAG: Fusion Razors are on sale for $8.99 (some are saying $6,) use the $4 Q (and a buy razor - get shampoo or body wash free coupon) = $4.99, then get $3 RR back.

Just for kicks and giggles...does anyone have a site that tells you what items share the same family? I found a few sites, but they seem older and not updated. Thanks in advance.
I've been searching for the same thing for a long time too! Maybe I should create one. But then I'd just be making myself a target, I guess. Cool I've just been compiling my own list, little by little.

Anyway, you can find all the items from a family by searching the UPC database with wildcards. It's a pain in the butt to page through, but the best site I've found is http://upcmachine.com.
  • Go tohttp://upcmachine.com
  • In the search box, type '00' (two zeroes), then the family code, then a '*'
    (for example, 0037000*)
It comes back with a very thorough list of items; keep clicking "next" to get them all. I've noticed occasional errors but for the most part it's very accurate. Best one so far - for real - is this:

Thanks, hope you had a great holiday, we are still going. One more gift opening. We spread it out for a week. I don't know why I clean, it looks like we had a tornado go thru here. It is good to have everyone home. I have done two ST runs and hope to do one tomorrow again.nod nod Stay Cool in 2009!
We are trying to keep things in order but with 4 grandkids and their slumber parties and the constant grazing that everyone is doing it is hard. Plus I get tired really easy!

I think the baby has effected my ability to Ninja shop at T. I had the worst run evah the other day. OOP was $107 total saving was only $42 Bigeye Ummmm, the
#'s are generally opposite and I have a GC in that amount. Dontknow Good thing I had a gift receipt and a nice mom to return about $90 worth of stuff.

Poor mom has been doing her Target runs without me since that fail. Dad was nice enough to go yesterday and today my 8 yo niece went. My brother did tell her that if you shop with Meema you get treats, it could be as simple as a slushie or as big as a Nintendo Wii. Farkhead! HIs kidlet thinks she is at least getting something in the middle like a Nintendo game. shake head Smack

Quote from doublesided :
I found bogo coke in my pile that expires wed. and we are throwing a party in a couple of weeks so I could use some. Regular price is 4.99 a 12 pack isn't it, and nothing is on sale this week, right??
Unfortunately Coke is not on sale this week. They do have the 8 pack small bottles for $3 but the family code is not 49000.

I found the Fusion gift sets (shampoo, shave cream, razor, body wash and deoderant) marked 50% off at $5 each at Wal-mart (Holiday merchandise). I was able to get several of the gift sets using the $4 off coupon and added in the extra Free body wash or shampoo on each gift set. All for $1! I was able to get 25 of these (in several transactions). Will be great for my next sale!!
