This couldn’t wait for a “traditional” picture! Lol

I did not have the flyer with me so I strolled through all the household isles an looked for the special tag. I wanted to try an make the most out of this deal. Thankfully the swiffer and pledge were part of the deal so I was able to use the BOGO q maximizing my savings!!! Here’s what I got…

2 bottles swiffer multi surface “gain” (on sale) $3.59ea

1 Lysol spray (on sale) $1.89

1 poise wash (had more more q left wanted to use before sale ended) $2.99

1 Hershey bar $.69 ( got hungry lol)

total $46.31

used…

$10/$40

3- BOGO swiffer (took off $3.99)

AWESOME job!! I might copy !!

jenn1135

Thanks!!

Chickenwang555

OHHH! I almost threw mine away. I could have sworn that mine said the total must be $40 even after coupons to redeem it.

astrid

is this in the ad at the store or in the newspaper?

Chickenwang555

Ad in newspaper. Like a target flyer with coupons in the inside.

You can also text them

Text SPRINGCLEAN to 827438
astrid

so if i got the ad from the store it wouldnt have the coupon in it?
Amanda

No, the coupons come in the Sunday paper.

Brandie

Thanks for posting! I am going to see if I have all the coupons needed and try to give this a go!

Brandie

Never mind- my ad said anything on those two pages would qualify for the coupon for $10.00 off $40.00. Bummer!

jenn1135

When you go to target there are little tags with a cellphone on it indicating they are part of the household coupon deal $10 off $40. It gives you a number to text to get the coupon on your phone. hth!!
Brandie

Used the coupons today! Didn’t get quite as good of a deal as you did, but hey, can’t complain! Saving money is saving money! Thanks for the post!

jenn1135

sure!!

Krystal

I AM COPYING. Thanks so much!!! I have been trying to figure out how to do this!!!

jenn1135

not a problem!!

Krystal

Where did you get the bogo free coupons? From this past weekends paper?

jenn1135

Yes, the swiffer was in Sundays P&G. I believe the Pledge was in smart source 3 weeks ago. (don’t hold me to that)

kclbrewski

The swiffer coupon stated Buy One STARTER KIT Get One REFILL free. You did not abide by the coupon. You got to read carefully if you don’t want to commit coupon fraud.
jenn1135

That was for the swiffer starter kit there was also a BOGO coupon for the dust spray
Breanna

Wrong coupon

I’m sorry, but it really irks me when I read the words “coupon fraud”…Please be sure you are 200% sure before you accuse someone of essentially committing a crime, and even then, there is no need for accusations, just ask which coupon she used. Let’s all be kind! We’re all after the same goal here
jenn1135

Thank you
Happy Couponer

Thank you! I’m so excited to go shopping tomorrow! If you hadn’t posted this I wouldn’t have realized those items were part of the deal!
Brandie

Amen! No harm in asking questions, since we all benefit from knowledge, but no need for others to jump to conclusions! Thanks to her post, I too was able to use the swiffer dusting bogo coupon for which the product was indeed in the deal at Target.

pledge is in SS 2/10

montgomery61204

im jealous of your 6% tax. 8.75% here in IL : (
Great job. I might copy as well!

jenn1135

thats okay our stuff normally costs $1-$2 more then all of KCL posts.

montgomery61204

oh mine too : ( especially at CVS

Happy Couponer

Here in TN we’re at 9.25% and I think it’s about to go up again

tionek75

wow what part of TN are you from I’m in the southeast and its 9.75%
Happy Couponer

really?! I’m in Nashville…it’s very possible it’s gone up and I haven’t realized it yet….
tionek75

Yes I am in Cleveland like 30 minutes from Chattanooga and it is 9.75% I envy those with lower taxes !!!!
Happy Couponer

I know! But I tell myself it’s ok because we don’t have state tax and that makes it a little easier I lived in Indiana for awhile and state taxes are just as frustrating!
Sierra Hussey

I am in Fl where we don’t have state tax as well and it’s 7%! I am lucky! I remember those days in Clarksville tn! Tax was crazy. I tried to do my shopping on the ky side.

animeshowgirl

Considering this deal. Did you know if the pledge wipes were part of the deal?

jenn1135

I do believe they were.

Chickenwang555

Actually I just reviewed some forums and saw a letter from the customer services stating that the total must be $40 after other coupons before using the $10/$40. Some targets are being anal and not even allowing MQs on top of it. I do not recommend “copying” this transaction. I don’t even know how it hasn’t been deleted by KCL already. No offense to jenn, she may not have known but many people want to knowingly carry out the same action.

Breanna

Ok so I took your concerns to my GSTL and she said that the rules on the coupon are one per household per day, 40 dollars must be met with qualifying items before tax and coupons, and no other target coupons may be used in conjunction with this coupon.

jenn1135

Thank you for clarifying!!

bellelamb

I’m confused what the problem is the coupons says “Limit one identical coupon/offer per guest,purchase total must be met for each coupon/offer individually.” It does not say total must be reached before other coupons. Plus mq are just like cash to the store.

jenn1135

There is no problem. Chickenwang had been misinformed.
Chickenwang555

Sorry, I just take the word of someone that works for Target when you call their corporate number/contact them over ‘popular’ blogs. Of course, who knows…maybe this might blow up in Target’s face. Some customers are happy with their deals and others are very upset.

jenn1135

Just to clarify…. The coupon does not state “total must be met after all coupons” this is the normal wording on all said coupons that have a requirement to be met. Also I did clarify with my stores customer service as a precaution an was given the green light.

Chickenwang555

If they are willing to do that, it’s great, but many couponers get red faced when they find out their transaction doesn’t work and they spend half an hour gathering items. I guess in this situation everyone should call ahead of time to resolve any conflicting issues prior to the sale.

Misty

The two pages in my Target ad for using that coupon do not list any of the items you bought…I am in AR. Are the eligible items different in every region?

http://twitter.com/itsyoontae 윤태

not everything that is part of the deal are listed in the ad. I think KCL made a whole list of what was included.

Misty

Thanks for the info on the list but I am still confused. Just trying to use this coupon correctly…my coupon says offer valid on items listed on pages 10 and 11 of the target ad. That makes me think that I cant use it on anything that is not on those two pages of the ad. Am I right or wrong?
Happy Couponer

I didn’t see them at first, but they are in the ad…if you read the fine print under the picture of the Mr. Clean Magic Erasers it states “Cleaning Supplies: Selected Mr Clean, Pledge, Scrubbing Bubbles or Drano.” and for Swiffer, I see “Limited edition Swiffer WetJet starter kit: 10% off other selected WetJet items.”….hope that helps!
misty

Thanks for the info on the list but my coupon says offer valid on items listed on page 10 and 11. I assume that I cannot use the coupon on items that are not on those pages of the target ad. I want to use the coupon correctly, so am I right or wrong?

nandranie

When you go in the store the item that are on the list have a tag text sprinclean to 827438 which is not working to get the coupon on your phone. The one you have should work if not go to customer service and let them know. I used mine just fine also the cashier had a copy of it at their register . Hope I help don’t guess just go and you will get your answer.

Breanna

Thank you I will let my GSTL know I’m not sure why in retail so many wires get crossed.
misty

Can we use target coupons on this deal too?

jenn1135

No you can only use mfr q

gina

so did you try to use the $10 off $40 coupon already ?
misty

Another question…did you ask why the total had to be $40 after coupons when the coupon and store ad do not say that? If you are talking about the store in springfield missouri, they stink.

Chickenwang555

I did not ask. I said I found this information from another site in which someone does happen to live in the same town as I do.
http://www.facebook.com/rebecca.trent1 Rebecca Trent

I’m in Springfield mo. Target has always been great to me, but then again I haven’t tried this deal yet…. Lol

Chickenwang555

REBECCA! We should be coupon buddies! I don’t know of anyone that coupons in town.
http://www.facebook.com/rebecca.trent1 Rebecca Trent

haha I need a coupon buddy!! I don’t personally know anybody in town that is couponing either, but I do know there are plenty, as CVS is always out of what I want…
Chickenwang555

They actually just don’t stock (they swear they have an inventory management system that stocks for them)….I’ve been waiting for a bayer AC1 meter for two months. There was a deal 9.99 for one and get 9.99 ecb and KCL found a $7 off coupon so 2.99 and get 9.99 ecb…but they never stock ….all three of the stores haha.

jenn1135

Just thought I would share from another popular blog….

IN-AD $10 Off $40 HOUSEHOLD PURCHASE COUPON

$10 off Purchase of Select in-Ad Household Items $40+ Target in ad coupon x3/9
This great coupon, found in the 3/3 ad, is off a total household purchase. So I believe as long as you meet the $40 threshold BEFORE tax, and the $10 coupon is handed over first, you should be able to use other Target & manufacturer Coupons for individual items as well. Obviously we won’t know how the coupon will behave until Sunday, but based on the past, that is how I think it will work.

You should also be able to get this same coupon as a mobile starting Sunday 3/3, by texting SPRINGCLEAN to 827438 (not active yet).
http://twitter.com/itsyoontae 윤태

My target did it where the total had to be BEFORE coupons… I hope this letter won’t lead to them speaking to corporate and passing this down to other stores… this will surely spoil it for others.
nandranie

Thank you for your wonderful post. I got lucky too. And everyone is so worried about this coupon just like the one we had at Christmas. Which I had hard time with my think is hand the cashier the 10 of 40 first then your manufacture coupons I had a wonderful cashier that said this coupon are money and remind your store they get back that money for the store. People advice put target cooperate number in your phone and call before leaving.I had no problem today yesterday and Sunday.I have one more and will used it tomorrow.

jenn1135

Your so welcome! I’m glad it helped you!

@HeeAtheeRette

Wowers your tax is 6.0% I’m so jealous! I’m in Washington and my tax is 9.05% and my state doesn’t double
tosuite

just did my deal today and everything went great Thanks for sharing!!!

Did you check out with Amber, the blonde checker? I’ve only had issues with her and one other (can’t remember who) at the Springfield Target (edit – Oregon – forgot this is not a NW blog… lol). Amber is a pill that hates coupons and pretty much everything else, especially working. Other than her, I’ve seen some real improvements with the other checkers and managers at my Target, as far as coupon acceptance and more positive reactions to using them.

Chickenwang555

Fun fact: 32 Springfields in the US and 4 of the being in the same state. My Target might just be a bit pickier…seeing as I have numerous cashiers tell me what they can and cannot do because they will get fired if they do. I love Target but the cashiers are so nice but kind of plead with you most of the time. Like one time I got this bogus thing that I could only use four coupons at one time (they weren’t identical) and I had to get a manager, but the poor cashier really seemed to sweat it because they were scared out of their wits!

gg4jc

Which insert are the bogo pledge/swiffer from??

jenn1135

BOGO swiffer dust n shine was last Sundays paper. And the BOGO pledge was from ss about 3 weeks ago

tatiny

did you use the bogo (sWIFFET STARTER KIT AND GET A REFILL) from PG?

jenn1135

No it was the BOGO swiffer dust an shine. It was in last Sundays paper. And I also used the BOGO pledge from ss about 3 weeks ago

Well done! That bit of chocolate at the end is a sweet reward…on top of the savings, of course!
