Target Glitch

In today’s Tampa Tribune Business section there is an article about Target shortchanging coupon users.  This has been occurring since August.  Their store policy is not to reduce to credit.  So free is the best you can do.  So, if you are getting yogurt where you have to purchase 8 to get $1 off, they are applying that discount to the cost of one single yogurt which costs 39 cents and shorting you 61 cents.  They have been instructed to pay close attention to coupons until the problem is fixed.  If you have been shortchanged take your receipts to the store and they will be handled on a case by case basis. 

News Papers

I just updated my Sunday papers.  For the St Pete Times, I am getting $0.30 per issue (prepaid for a year) 1-800-888-7012.  For The Tampa Tribune, I am getting $0.35 per issue (prepaid for a year) 874-2863.

Gain Dish Soap

At Walmart Gain dish soap is $0.97 with the P&G coupon from Sunday's insert it is free plus $0.03.  I could not find an online coupon.

IHOP

On Friday, October 29 IHOP is giving children 12 and under a Free Scary Face Pancake.  The kids get to add mini oreos and candy corns to decorate their pancakes.

How many newspapers do I get?

One of the most asked questions I get is, "How many newspapers to you get on Sunday?"

6 (4 St. Pete Times & 2 Tampa Tribunes)

How many can I use?

I went to Publix the other day and the cashier was a little concerned about the way I was using my Target coupons. I bought 4 of one item and was using a manufacture coupon and a Target coupon on each. Publix is getting a little more picky now, so the cashier read the wording on the Target coupon that says, "one Target coupon per item per transaction" and was going to hold my feet to the fire. She called the manager over and the manager decided to call Target and ask them how they would handle it......here is the answer...Target will allow up to 4 of the same item with a Target coupon for each in the same transaction.

Thank you Target! This is a time saver and a money saver. Especially on the Buy One Get One.

Wow!! Target!! Wow!!!

Be sure to check out Targets coupons. They are fantastic!

Shaving Cream for 50 cents.

Look for the "Edge" shaving cream BOGO coupon this week.

It is on sale at CVS for $ .99. With the coupon...thats like paying $ .50 cents for each can.

What a BARGAIN!!!

Which newspaper do you buy?

Just FYI...
I am in NO way promoting one newspaper over the other, but...IF you are ONLY getting the paper for the coupons...."The St. Pete Times" are only 50 cents on Sunday in comparison to "The Tampa Tribune" being a $1. The coupons are the same in both papers.

SOBE water for FREE

If you drink SOBE water (flavored water)…. http://headsortails.sobe.com/ play the game, get a BOGO coupon. Make sure you hit the back button as soon as it prints. It will print you an additional coupon.

CVS has SOBE water on sale….BOGO. Get two waters and use the coupon you printed from above. (one coupon for every two waters) you will get both for FREE. You will just have to pay the sales tax. (any BOGO works like this if you also have a coupon that is BOGO)

In a nut shell...

CVS BOGO Sale + SOBE BOGO Coupon = FREE

A few "BARGAIN" tips...

•BOGO = Buy One Get One….FREE (use a manufacture coupon on EACH item when you go to buy, even though you are getting one for FREE)

•Stacking coupons = Manufacture coupons + store coupon + sale (all used at the same time)

•You can only print the coupons ONCE (two prints per computer) until another promotion starts or the coupon resets. So, print it as soon as it's available because the companies only allow so many prints per coupon.

•Most groceries stores change sales on Wednesday’s or Thursdays. CVS and Walgreens change Saturday night or Sunday morning.

•Make sure you read the fine print on all coupons. Ask the store if they have a coupon policy in writing. (Wal-Mart does not.) Don’t be afraid of telling the clerk you don’t want something if you have read the coupon wrong. Most grocery stores are EXTREAMLY familiar with Mom’s that coupon shop. “Couponing” is BIG business right now.

•NEVER go coupon shopping when you are in a hurry. It takes a little extra time to make sure it is done right.
