I gave the BOGO coupon first but even that, now I notice all the cashier will look through all coupons before they ran it. The BOGO one beep, the guy called his manager and put the manager told him to input the price. So I paid $5 for 5 tins and 5 refills plus 2 of $5 gift card. I used the $1.50 I've been collected from the past purchase.<br /><br />I went there again today to do the same deal at the same Target. The BOGO ones beep and the cashier called manager. The manager said if it doesn't scan, they can't take it, regardless. Obviously, I think she just didn't know that they should had to input the price in for the discount. So I ended up paid $5 for 5 tins with $5 gift card but without the 5 refills. <br /><br />I made another transaction which I planned to use the gift card from the previous transaction. Another cashier got frustrated because she can't scan the coupons I used coupons for buying the trial size items (Tide coupon). She didn't know how to adjust the price down. So I told her to take back those items. The whole deal was frustrated but I ended up paying 7 cents (with taxes). My total on the receipt was negative. So I just paid her and left the store pretty happy about paying only few cents :) FYI, this last purchase wasn't the glade deal.A Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07234923151517122013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803075224697455032.post-10030263675876580932009-11-04T21:17:23.244-05:002009-11-04T21:17:23.244-05:00Isn't it crazy how Target has pretty clear cou...Isn't it crazy how Target has pretty clear coupon policies on their website (however, I do have to bring an email I got from Target explaining that I can use coupons with price on price matched items!)and then when there is something that a cashier or manager doesn't like, they just make up a policy right there...Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05900549763779373012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803075224697455032.post-83058937994785403172009-11-04T18:06:04.344-05:002009-11-04T18:06:04.344-05:00Kelly, Hahaha!

That perfectly describes my couponing experience every time I go to Target. <br /><br />They love making up ridiculous rules there. Bottom line, if you're saving a lot, they think you're doing something wrong. If the coupon beeps, they don't want to take it even if it's legit.<br /><br />I always leave with rosy cheeks. I'm not a confident couponer! I get so embarrassed. hahaha.<br /><br />Glad you got the deal, though! =] Thanks for sharing.Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182127439393473922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803075224697455032.post-60602503965040797282009-11-04T17:48:43.383-05:002009-11-04T17:48:43.383-05:00P.S.

I purchased 5 holders and 5 refills. I gave the cashier the B1G1 coupons first, and he entered those in. Then when I gave him the $1.50/1 holder coupons, he said that he couldn't take them because he could only take one manufacturer's coupon per item. I calmly explained that the B1G1 coupons applied to the refills, and there shouldn't be any reason why I couldn't use the $1.50/1 coupons since they applied to the holders. He called his manager over, and I explained the same thing to her. She told me that Target's policy with B1G1 coupons is that they apply both to the item you're getting for free as well as to the item you're purchasing to get that item for free...which, in my humble opinion, makes zero sense. However, she told me she didn't want to be the "coupon police" and would allow me to use those coupons this one time. My cheeks were a little rosy when I left, but I ended up saving $31, spending only $4.91 (I also used a $1/Glade product Target coupon from Real Simple), and I got $10 in Target giftcards!!! I plan on doing the SC Johnson rebate 3 times over as well to make the most of this deal!!!Kelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112973548317337218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803075224697455032.post-70053223905930191902009-11-02T20:31:25.691-05:002009-11-02T20:31:25.691-05:00The first time I did this deal, I didn't work ...The first time I did this deal, I didn't work it out right, so I got a total of 18 items, 9 candles, and 9 refills, but I should have bought 20 total...but all in all I have bought 58 items and made 13.00 without getting the SC rebate yet, I hope to do more through out the months ahead, everyone I know will be getting a candle!Eventfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03862847718672233688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803075224697455032.post-40696148521671033282009-11-01T21:38:29.843-05:002009-11-01T21:38:29.843-05:00Kimberly, How frustrating!

It's just a little tin, and when you open it up, there's a little scented oil candle inside. They shouldn't be hard to find. It's the only "tin" Glade makes. Look for the Holiday scents. Those are the one the deal is on.<br /><br />As far as when you can use the coupon. Here's what I think. USUALLY, the rule is that if a coupon is inside of a product, you have to buy the product first in order to have the coupon to use. (Obviously, since you can't open up a product in the store). <br /><br />However, this coupon is so easy to access. You just take the top off and it's right there. Most people are treating them like peelies because of this, from what I can tell. A peelie is a coupon on the outside of a product that you peel off and use on the same product when you buy it. I was kind of skeptical of using the coupon on the same product at first. Then I started thinking about it, though. I know I would never buy a candle without opening up the tin top and smelling it to see if I like the scent. So, maybe the coupons are meant to be kind of like peelies, and you can use them on that same product? You have to use your own judgment, but it seems like across the board most people are using the coupon on that same product when they buy it.<br /><br />I hope that helps! =)Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182127439393473922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803075224697455032.post-61937593377588391872009-10-22T19:09:01.323-04:002009-10-22T19:09:01.323-04:00When you use the coupons from the tins, do you tak...When you use the coupons from the tins, do you take them out of the tins you're buying, or do you have to buy tins and use the coupons next time?

The printable ...To answer some of the questions...<br /><br />The printable coupon says "one per purchase", which means you can use one coupon per item purchased. Therefore, you can use as many coupons as the amount of items you are buying. Make sense?<br /><br />That limit on buying 5 of each, and not being able to use your giftcard on more candles is ridiculous, Thebortons!!! I can't believe he said that. Since when is a giftcard not valid for ANY purchase? Weird! <br /><br />Target can really be picky on their coupon policy. This deal is perfectly 100% legal. If they give you coupon problems, they're just not coupon savvy. Sometimes it's truly "luck" as to whether or not you get a good cashier. Good luck on this deal! <br /><br />Prices vary big time from store to store with Target. This deal is going through 12/26, so just keep checking back to see if maybe the deal hits your store. And like Amanda said, be sure to check with the price scanner before buying!<br /><br />I've had problems with the tins not having coupons, too. Sometimes people take them out of all the tins - NOT COOL! If you're doing this deal, please only take the coupons out of the tins you are buying!!! Keep checking back on the tins. New ones will come in, hopefully with new coupons in them!<br /><br />As far as the blinkie dispensers, I'm not positive where they are found. People have said in the hot coupon forum that they have fond them at various grocery stores. Check out that forum that I linked to! They might have an answer for you. =) I'm just going to use the printable one.<br /><br />Good luck with this deal, everybody! Keep in mind, you have 2 months, so don't give frustrated if you can't make it work right now....maybe eventually!Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14182127439393473922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803075224697455032.post-80788956533848255502009-10-22T18:40:38.104-04:002009-10-22T18:40:38.104-04:00There was a sign at my Target when I went to do th...There was a sign at my Target when I went to do the deal about the gift card.

So i bought 2lotion at $10, used 2 Manufacturer coupon, and 2 Target coupon...my final price out of pocket was $5 and I got $5 GC..not bad. Love the Dove lotion.lylanoreply@blogger.com
