UPDATE: Darn! It does seem that this was a typo. 🙁 Check out the email and picture below that I received from reader, Chris:

The ad states buy any item get $5 gift card. The sign in the store and their computer says “3”. They gave me $5 off a pack of toothpaste and $5 off the pack of toothbrushes but said they won’t do it all day.


Wow! If the Target weekly ad that starts tomorrow, 4/28, is correct and it’s not some sort of typo or error on their end, you’ll be able to score a *HOT* deal on Oral Care products! Check it out…

    Signs already up at my Target indicated it was when you buy 3. Not sure the ad is correct.

    • Lauren

      I saw the signs too! And they did say when you buy 3.

      • Linda

        I figured this was too good to be true…

      • darlene m

        The signs in the store says you have to buy 3 but the newspaper ad says one so take the ad in with you and go to the customer service desk it worked here in Orlando for me.

        • mel

          the back of the ad said they are not responsible for typo errors (apparently they left off the buy “3” part), so YMMV on getting them to honor the ad on just 1.

          • jet

            I went to 2 stores this morning the first store gave me $5 for each of them but they limited 4 per day. second store I went in they are not give me the giftcard even the add said so and MOD he is mean to me. so I return the items.

        • Janet

          wow. my store never does that because they refer to the disclaimer on back of ad : not responsible for typographic or photogreaphic errors. Lucky you.

        • kari

          that was the “terms & conditions apply” part that my store told me no.

    • Rebecca

      the signs say must buy 3, however target is honoring the misprint and adjusted the registers to prompt for a $5 gift card for each item. you should have no trouble. i was able to get $5 gift card for each item. The p&G coupons also work – no beeps.

  2. dawn

    I work at Target and your add is not correct– Too funny !

    • Kristen

      What?

    • jamie

      dawn- I just looked at my ad and this is it. maybe not all stores get to see the ad in advance?

  3. Jenn

    I highly doubt Target would make this offer when you buy one. I guarantee the ad says somewhere that you need to buy two or three to get the GC.

  4. j

    hope it’s no errror 🙂

  5. Amber R.

    Dang I really love this toothpaste, hopefully my store will honor the ad. Fingers crossed!

    • Susan

      It does say in the ad above $5.99 each…

  6. Karla

    Isn’t it false advertising if they don’t?

    • Mitchell @ Frugal Finders

      The back of the Target ad states that they are not responsible for any typographic or photographic errors, so it probably isn’t false advertising.

      • Janet

        yes all ads usually have that disclaimer. I don’t know who does their ads, but I find that even though many stores have at least one error every week, target seems to lead the pack with errors in my opinion.

  7. amyjorlando

    My ad in Orlando shows it just like posted here (worded so that it sounds like you have to only buy 1 of the items). I bet they’ll have a sign posted apologizing for an error in the ad and that we’ll have to buy 3 to get the $5 gift card. I’ll just continue to get my toothpaste deals at CVS or Walgreens!

    • Sally

      There is a sign by the toothpaste with a deal that has been already going on where you need to purchase 3 and runs until sometime in May. The ad is probably a misprint but would be awesome if they would honor it.

  8. Wendy

    Karla, every store has a disclosure in their ad about errors. They don’t have to honor it. I work retail.

  9. Sabina B.

    My ad in Chicago has it too.

  10. Tiffany

    My target (all 3 of them) don’t have the 3 packs. They only have the 2 packs

    • darlene m

      They have them in the back of the store near the patio outdoor furniture with all the large packs of items.

  11. faith

    Anyone know if the pizza and ice cream deal will continue this next week?

    • rosebudds

      I thought it ended the 27th?

  12. estela

    i just came from target and seen the giftcard deal for this but its when u buy 3 and it runs through may 18 so its a mistake on the ad

  13. Zhizi

    When I went to Target this evening, I saw the gift card deal said “buy 3”.

  14. CW

    8:16 am Sunday-
    The ad states buy any item get $5 giftcard. The sign in the store and their computer says “3”.

    They gave me $5 off a pack of toothpaste and $5 off the pack of toothbrushes but said they won’t do it all day.

    • CW

      My store also took the Crest coupon so I paid 6 cents for the toothpaste. $1.06 for the toothbrushes. My store did not have much toothpaste (maybe 8 total of all various types) and maybe 10 packs of toothbrushes.

  15. Staci Sverker

    I just got back from there also, they gave us $5 off each of the toothpaste and toothbrushes. But they wouldn’t let us use the coupons on top of it, so we paid .99 each. Not bad!! we got 12.

    • Kristen

      Awesome! Im jelly 😉

  16. Stacy

    Ad is incorrect. My Target in IL did not have the 3D White in 3 packs, only 2 packs. The 3 packs were for Pro Health and the sign in store said when you buy 3.They did honor the ad for me but probably won’t for very long.

  17. Marsha Clark

    Newport, Ky Target is honoring ad……………..

  18. Wendy

    OMG! I just went through my ad and it didn’t even have it in there! I’ve been waiting for days! Anyone else NOT have it in their ad?

    • Allison

      Make sure to look towards the middle of the ad. I thought the same thing, but this time they have P&G products advertised in the middle of the ad.

    • Rachael

      Not in mine either.

    • Melissa

      It’s not in my ad – maybe regional?

  19. Susan

    In the ad up top it does say 5.99 each, so when I read the deal I thought how is she getting that for free. when there is approx $12.00 left to pay??? I read that each was $5.99. I will definitely go check out my Target, just in case.

  20. Rebecca

    Fyi to all…the three packs of toothpaste as well as the tooth brushes are in the bulk item section near the back of the store. Also, for those in the western PA area, the Monaca Target IS honoring the ad. I was told by a team leader that they are aware it is an error in the ad, but until corporate tells them otherwise, they will honor it. The cashier just added the $5 gc as if I was purchasing it, then gave me a $5 discount. Monaca Target still had tons left at 10 am this morning.

    • Maureen

      So you got 8 gift cards for 21 item? And what the heck are you going to do with that much toothpaste?

      • just me

        Things LikeThis ThatAreReallyUpsetting&DisAppointing.

        • VB

          In my household this would probably last us a year. For some reason we go through toothpaste like crazy. Also considering that the toothpaste deals are not as great as they used to be and that this is a nonperishable I too would stock up. Also I think these are located in the bulk section which in my store is heavily stocked. I guess this doesn’t bother me as much as when I hear of shelf clearers that cannot possibly consume all thethe items before the expiration dates.

      • robin

        no….she got a GC for each item purchased, just like the ad states. In my household that would only be a 3 months supply of toothpaste, in someone else home that may be a 4 year supply. Maybe she has a large family or she donates….does it really matter. I’m a little touchy about the quanity statement because I get judged on that all the time.

        • Maureen

          I saw 21 items but only 8 gcs in the pic. That’s why I was asking.

      • Gil

        Maureen, it’s called stockpiling for seasoned q’ers. We build a sufficent stcokpile of regularly used items for our own family, and then share with our local church or other charities. Many benefit from our enterprising frugalities…

    • axhilli

      They had a limit at my store that would have cleared the shelves they didn’t have much.

    • Lynn

      Ummmm. Wow.

    • Kristen

      Hope that wasn’t at my target!!! Lol

    • Rebecca

      moureen I sell it to support my family my husband lost his job I am not sorry don’t ask dumb questions if you want to judge go somewhere else. My stores love me I boost sales my orders stay in my own little stock room and I never clear a shelf and I am not sorry. It is my business and I take care of my cashiers, managers, and our local womens shelter and I pay the mortgage. Fyi yes I pay taxes we incorporated. Thats the truth about what alot of us do I think we should embrace it.

  21. Mara

    My Target in Flushing, NY did not honor the ad and not only that, refused to accept my Crest and Oral B coupons because the cashier said those coupons are not for 3-packs but for single item packs. The cashier scanned the coupon and it went through but then he looked at the coupon and said the coupon wasn’t for the value pack. I told him since it went through, it’s fine but he wouldn’t budge. Very disappointed!

    • isabel

      Really? I did this deal with no problem at Flushing, NY. The one inside skyview mall.

  22. darlene m

    I just got back from Target I went to buy the crest the cashier said the ad was wrong and she sent me to customer service and they honored it but I don’t think for long because he said they where having signs made. Also I had to really hunt for the item it was in the back next to outdoor patio stuff not at all where you expect it.

  23. darlene m

    Oh I forgot they did take my $1 off coupon I guess I was luckly and got a nice cashier!

  24. C

    I’m not even going to try this. My local target ALWAYS gives me a hard time with coupons and ad matching so I’m pretty sure they won’t honor this even if I have the ad.

  25. Becky S

    Mine took the buy two indicator coupon as well, so it was 10.xx for the toothpaste and toothbrushes and a $10 gift card. It took a while, but they honored the ad at CS.

  26. Tina

    Just came back from my Highlands Ranch, Co store they honored it only because they haven’t posted a misprint yet. So… I got 2 3pk.boxes of tooth paste for .10, I used two $1 off coupons each. Happy happy happy

  27. Sue

    My store honored it in MN

  28. Sara

    My Target told me I was reading it incorrectly. They stated the “toothbrush 3 1” meant I needed to buy a pack of toothbrushes and toothpaste to trigger the gift card. I tried to politely explain the comma that separates the items is not a “and” at which time he called over four other employees to see the “customers skewed interpretation”. Being labeled as having a “skewed inter.” I decided to stand my ground. They reluctantly let me purchase a toothpaste and toothbrush but were very rude still insisting I was reading the ad wrong. They had no signs up indicating a misprint. I was starting to think I needed to go back to primary grammar school until I googled the target ad and found this thread!

  29. axhilli

    My store honored it with a limit of 2 (yes so happy they had a limit), if they said it was a misprint I wasn’t going to argue with them as there are free toothpaste offers all the time.

  30. Lsc

    Germantown, MD Target honored it, but are planning on posting signs. I don’t use Crest, but items that I get for free, cheap or make money from I donate to military families.

  31. Heather

    My Target in Lancaster, New York changed the sign to reflect the flyer. They were out of the Crest 3D but Colgate 3 packs were also marked to issue a gift card with one purchase. 🙂

  32. Melinda

    Went to my target in Rochester, MN this morning and they said they are honoring the ad. The saleswoman said they are fixing the computer to honor it and had me tell the checker to override it and give me the $5 GC.

  33. justme

    My Target today in Littleton CO honored the ad yay! At first they tried to tell me that it was when you buy three but my wording in my ad was ‘when you buy any oral care item listed’ you get a free $5 card. Also yes they were back by the BBQ seasonal area for some reason.

    • Juni

      Englewood, CO also! Yay

  34. jennifer

    Yes this is an ad misprint and I would have had to buy 3 so it was not a good deal. They were also on clearance.

  35. Jessica

    Our target refuses to honor the ad even when there is no sign up.

  36. Dana

    Same here in CA they would not honor it BOOBOO

    • Amanda

      I live in Orange County, ca and went to 3 different targets and none would honor them. They said its when you buy 3 only. I went to anaheim hills, Fullerton, and orange grrrrr…. Infact they were all very rude and treated me like I was stealing or something.

      • campanita

        That is why I stopped going to Target, before I started couponing 3 years ago, I was a loyal customer and spent a lot of money in there. Now I do not go very often, they always give me problems when I try to use coupons or match prices.

        • Crystal

          I know exactly what u mean. Whenever I use coupons at target or try to price match I always have a problem. It is very annoying. I hate how they treat me.

      • Rebecca

        the Target in the Tustin Marketplace has a bunch left and I had no trouble at the register. it prompted for a $5 gift card after scanning only 1 item. target decided to honor the misprint and adjusted the register to prompt after 1 scan. the P&G coupons work with it as well – no beeps

        • Amanda

          Thanks! I just got back from there and got the last few items that were left. 2 boxes of Colgate toothpaste and 2 boxes of toothbrushes! Thanks so much!

  37. Joyce S.

    My store in Michigan honored it. I went early this a.m. and bought 3 of the pkgs. and used 3 coupons and it gave me 1 $5 gc and without me saying anything they rang up 2 more gcs.

  38. Jenni

    Just went to target, I got 4, 3 packs of the crest toothpaste and they gave me a $5 gift card for all three then I reminded them about the advertising and they gave me $5 credit for the other 3. but they said they were only doing this today only,

  39. heidi

    I just did this deal!!! My target honored it…and they called corporate saying that the system would change today to honor the deal, too!!!!! Don’t give up; try later tonight or tomorrow! 😀

  40. Jennifer

    Mine honored it was typo

  41. Conswalla

    At 4:00 pm EST in PA, I got the last one on the shelf. I got $5.00 off instantly at the register. Paid $.49 OOP. Love it!

  42. m

    both the AD and their sign at the store said when you buy 1, so they took $5 off every item, plus the $1 off coupon for crest, paid .09 cents for toothpaste. They tried scanning 3 items and the gift card screen popped up , but manager and cashier said they were going to give us the discount because that is what it was on the ad and the signs.

  43. axhilli

    My local target still has the 3 packs of toothpaste in stock at 6:30pm cst. I must be the one of the few people that knew to ask where they were or no one in my area likes Crest lol.

  44. cozycoupon

    I went to target here in CA. on last night, no problem with the deal. I ask the sales lady did someone mess up on the ad she said no it was right. I said well alright then sounds good to me!!!!!

    • Amanda

      Which one? I went to 3 and nobody honored it. Thanks!

      • Rebecca

        target in tustin marketplace on jamboree works!

  45. Vicki

    My store changed the computer so it automatically prompts the $5 gift card. And it’s not just the crest toothpaste that works. It works for Colgate toothpaste and listerine mouth wash too!!

  46. cindy

    My store had tons but its still alot of money out of pocket to do up front. We get free toothbrush and toothpaste deals all the time listed her on the site. To me its not like this is the deal to get worked up over. I am never brave enough to do lots of different transactions so I just have to remember to use them later.

  47. annne

    whats the oz one the mouth wash and colgate, ?

  48. Tia

    I just went to Target and the system automatically prompted for the $5 gift card for each 3 pack(I got 3D, Prohealth Mint and Prohealth Whitening) that I purchased. It was not where the toothpaste is regularly located but in the bulk section by the seasonal items. There was no sign up advertising the $5 gift card per item but when I scanned it on the price scanner, it said a $5 gift card would be given. Good luck!
