I am assuming 4 of the yoplait coupons are from 2 computers? When I tried to print a 3rd one I got a message “already printed” 🙁
Yes..you would need access to 2 computers.
If you can’t print 4, you could get the market pantry Greek yogurt, instead. On sale for $.80, buy 3 = $2.40, and use the $1/3 target mobile coupon (thanks or spring–can’t remember which). Get 3/$1.40, plus push your total over $50 to use the $10/$50 mobile.
On Checkout 51 there is a 50¢ back offer for yogurt, any size, any brand, any variety.
I even did price match with Kroger $2 per bag of Doritos with my $50 save $10. ^_^
I do wish we could get more savings on real food instead of junk since we are trying to eat healthier. It is expensive though!
Some of the food that she listed is healthy.
Go to Laura’s Lean Beef and sign up for their newsletter, and get a $1.00 off coupon. Combine with the $1 off meat mobile coupon. Then become a member of Driscoll berry panel and fill out surveys to get coupons up to $1.00 off berries (you start at $.50 and work your way up), then combine that with the $1.00 off target mobile fruit purchase. Use the $1/2 Fresh Express salad coupons to buy salad and combine that with the $1 off target mobile vegetable coupon! There are LOTS of way s to coupon, you just have to take the time to find what works for you! Don’t whine about it, do something about it!
That’s excellent! Thank you for the tips(:
Thank you for those ideas!
kari, you have some excellent tips! I am going to do some for myself! I used to teach coupon classes, and it made me SO mad when people complained that there was no way to ever be a couponer and get healthy food such as meat and produce. You do have to do some sluething, but you’re right–it can be done!
You should see my scenarios! They are full of healthy items 🙂
Would you mind posting one? Wanting to take advantage but would love some healthy choices!!
I would also love some healthy scenarios!
If you have an Aldi’s in your area shop there for fruit and vegetables – great prices!.
Yes! Aldis has super great prices on vegetables and fruit! And all their stuff is great quality.
I love the prices on produce at Aldi, too! They beat most of the sale prices at my local grocery store, the quality is awesome, and they even offer some organic selections. As an added bonus, checkout is super quick so I’m always in and out in a flash.
Yes, my scenario included the strawberries, carrots, and a bag of salad as mentioned above. I also used $1/1 Evol from Mambo Sprouts, $1/1 Evol from Ibotta, and 5% cartwheel for a small MM on a burrito. I consider those healthy. I got a small MM on Eggos with the 20% cartwheel, $1/1 Target coupon, and $1.50/1 MQ from the rewards site. I used the $10 to buy orange juice and butter. I had those free snickers coupons, so I bought 4 of those for free to get my total up. I bought three packs of Trident gum using the $1/1 mobile Q and the $1/2 mobile Q. I did the hot pockets too, which isn’t healthy, but there are other thing that could be substituted for that. I also got two bags of the Bear Naked granola. My total after Ibotta was $14.
yes, great EVERYDAY prices and their sale prices on fruit can’t be beat. We love Aldi’s…does anyone else’s cashiers call them “honey”. I have to laugh everytime I go because no matter who the cashier, I always get “honey” =)
Can you use other target mobile coupons when using the $10 off of $50?
Yes you can use other mobile coupons as long as they are off a specific item but you can’t stack with another coupon that is off a total purchase. HTH
Would candy be considered groceries? I want to do the “$5.00 gift card when you spend $20 on Easter candy” scenario and adding it to this scenario would make for some really good deals!
yup, a helpful hint is to click under “grocery” on the target coupons page for some ideas of what falls under grocery =)
Fantastic! Tomorrow is going to be a good day for Target shopping!
Keep in mind that candy cpn expires 4/12
FYI Kayla, as someone pointed out below, you may have an issue using both $5/$20 Easter candy gift card promo coupon and $10/$50 grocery mobile coupon. I was unaware of this when I went today and my Target was helpful and allowed both but now I’m wondering if that is why both would not go through. Anyone have follow up? For once I am in the blind…
If you have the special promo coupons from Kelloggs products – they were labeled “save $15 on future products, after entering the code on Kelloggs website they sent me an email with a coupon link to 15 coupons and one of the coupons was for $1 off Naked granola. Would fit nicely into your first deal scenerio since it has 4 and could get $4 off if you have the coupons. Best part, I waited for deals like these before printing since the coupon has the usual 30 day expiration from print. Thanks for the heads up =)
I tried to use that coupon earlier and the coupon stated 12oz or larger. The Granola priced above is the 11.3 oz or something like that. Their computer rejected the coupon and my checker told me it was for the wrong size. : (
wow Ketryna, I didn’t even notice that. Geez, leave it to a manufacturer to make the “new” item just a little less than the normal size =( I actually had a very nice Target that subbed me another kind since they were out of the cartwheel kind and so the coupon went through. Bummer though, since I would have been in the same boat as you. I did notice that Mott’s apple juice boxes are now conveniently 6 oz boxes vs 6.75 oz. Guess in order to keep the price the same as it has always been, they reduced the size of the item.
Thanks for the reminder, Shayla! I had 4 of these that I had forgotten about, and I was able to use them on the Vanilla Almond Bear Naked granola. Great deal after the 50% off Cartwheel (which didn’t scan, but the cashier was able to add it manually)!
My plan, assuming my Target is willing to allow more than one “like” Target coupon on four like items…
(4) Naked granola @ $2.54/each
(6) Easter M&M’s @ $2.89/each
$2.54 Easter candy item for filler
(4) Mott’s apple juice 10-pk @ $2.99/each
(4) Market Pantry frozen fruit @ $3.19/each
Use four $1/1 coupon obtained via Kellogg’s products (emailed)
plus 50% cartwheel
Use three $1/2 Easter M&M coupon via coupons.com
plus three $1.50/2 Target M&M coupon
plus $5/$20 Easter candy purchase
plus 10% cartwheel
Use four $1/1 Mott’s juice coupon via coupons.com
Use four $1/1 Market Pantry frozen fruit coupon
plus 5% cartwheel
Use $10/$50 Grocery Target mobile coupon
Should come out to about $12, give or take. Here’s to hoping everything is in stock!!!
Are you allowed to use the 5/20 and 10/50 together? I would think you have to meet a threshold of 70 to use them both coupons?
hmm, very good point Casey. Well, my granola was more expensive ($3.54) and I picked up a few other things that put me over. But I am wondering that too, since my first order was just at threshold and didn’t want to go through (they had to manually override the granola since they were out of the cartwheel kind and they honored a substitute of another kind but with that put me under threshold. Anyone know what Target typically allows? My understanding was the Easter was a gift card deal and the other a $ off so they could be used together.
Does it matter what order you give the coupons?
Use your $10/50 first and Cartwheel last. Everything else somewhere between 🙂
Hi I’m new to all this but I absolutely love target. What exactly is the “like” target coupons? I use Cartwheel all of the time but never used coupons before. Thanks.
Printable Target coupons (not manufacturer coupons), printed from the Target website, often have a limit of 1. So you can only use 1 of a particular Target coupon, not 2 or more that are “like” (identical to each other), in the same transaction. Some Targets enforce this rule, though others do not seem to.
It means target coupons that are the same. Not every target will let you use more than “like” target coiupon. Mine is ok with it :). Example: I got two vinegars the other day, and they let me use 2 target coupons (some stores will limit it to one)
Lora, like the others said, the “like” Target coupons are from their site. Target computers themselves only allows up to four “like” coupons (manufacturer or Target), although you can still use one manufacturer and one Target coupon on one item (referred to as stacking). I have several Targets in my city, two closest to me one allows up to four “like” Target coupons while the other enforces the only one per customer/transaction. It is all a judgement call by your local Target what their policy is on that matter. HTH
Also, what exactly does 3/16 RS or SS mean? I’ve tried typing in dates in search bar but can’t find the coupons
SS is smart source. RP is red plum. 3/16 is the date of which weeks paper it came in. If you go to Targets website and click on the coupons tab, you can then print Target store coupons and use them in addition to the manufacture coupons and the cartwheel. HTH
Thank you Tammie …is there any way to get the coupons now or is it too late? I actually found what SS meant a lil while ago and I tried to find the coupons for the specified inserts but every time I click on it , it goes to a current insert I can’t find the ones for the dates on here
Sorry meant to say Ketryna
RP=Red Plum, SS=Smart Source. They are coupon inserts that come out in the Sunday newspaper. If you buy the paper, I suggest you keep the whole insert, and write the date on the top (look in the “spine” and in tiny print, you will see the date).
You don’t have to buy the paper to coupon, there are plenty of printables you can use, (maybe not for the scenario that Colin used for the Target deal). For learning about couponing, Colin has some info on her site, see “coupon newbie”.
Thank you Tammie its going to take me a while to learn .
Our target also has evol, kashi and Amy’s organic frozen food on clearance. I got 4 jars organic maranatha pb, 2 organic soy sauce, 2 bags of organic flour, applegate uncured bacon and 4 clearance burritos. Would have been sweeter with coupons but any deal on organic food is great.
Can You use the $10/50 more than once? In different transactions different days? Or is a one time deal?
It’s a one time thing
Just curious how that would be enforced? For example, I have a paper coupon from my newspaper today as well as the mobile version. I only intend to use one anyway but if someone is paying with cash, how would they be able to limit it?
The mobile coupon would be one time use, but if you have more than 1 paper coupon, then sure, you can use them in different transactions.
Each mobile coupon has a unique code on it (look near the bar code to find it). I assume that once it’s been used, it won’t scan again.
Thank you for the info Tammie it’s going to take me a while to figure all this out going to try to go to target tomorrow to try this out.
you’ll get it lora. don’t give up, even if you only save 10 bucks a week that’s 40 bucks a month you didn’t have before!:)
“like” this…totally agree. Every little bit helps. I had a very interested gal in front of me, watching as I loaded my items to the belt. She seemed overwhelmed at the idea of couponing but I told her even if you take it one step at a time, say common staples and trying to find coupons from manufacturers, than saving a buck here or there can really add up. Unfortuantely, I’m an extremer with a cause and love to donate as much as I can to our local food bank so I am not one you would want to watch because I would totally exhaust you =) LOL
I’m getting an error message when I text for the $10 off $50. Anyone else?
I am gonna score $30 off of $50 bc I will be using the $10 coupon off $50 but I also have a $20 Target Shopkick as well as lots of Target, manuf, cartwheel plus my 5% Red Card. Can’t wait to work on my shopping list….Hoping to score $50 worth of FREE FOOD!!
I got $62 of food for $23 after this coupon, Target and manufacturer coupons and cartwheel! I made sure to use any freebie or BOGO coupons I had to maximize my savings and actually got almost $4 in overage!
