*Note- some stores will not allow a $ Off and a B1G1 coupon together. Above Venus deals may be a ymmv. You also may have to watch your total on the first scenario. If the sale prices on the cartridges are cheaper, you may have to add in another bar of soap to get you over the $30 mark for the rebate.

SPECIAL PURCHASE: BUY 4 SELECT ITEMS GET ONE FREE*
*I am going to do the math by product, however- you should be able to mix and match these items, and there may be more inclusions. I will report back on Sunday to let you know any updates on this deal and which cereals are included and any other surprises. Also keep in mind, that on some of the scenarios below, some of you may not be able to use a manufacturer’s coupon on the item made free by the Target coupon. It may be a ymmv. Some stores are more coupon friendly though, and you may even want to double up your deals in order to use an extra $1/2 Target Coupon if your store will allow.

WIDESPREAD CLEARANCE REPORTED
*Clearance varies from store to store- there are no guarantees you will find the same.
I was out of the loop a little this week-but big news this week was the great toy clearance going on. If your store is slower to clearance, you may still be able to score some good deals. Double check the the cough and cold care aisles or endcaps in that area for a ppossible further drop in Lip Balms, Vicks, Cough Drops and other items. Also lots of reports on clearanced air freshener products too. You can also sort the blog by the category Clearance to see the reports on the latest finds!   

HAPPY SHOPPING EVERYONE!       

Remember- If you are short on coupons  you can use a clipping service (I recommend My Coupon Hunter or The Coupon Clippers and see what’s available. You can also search for coupons on eBay.  

I am just about finished with my Best Deals post and it will be up shortly, but I wanted to point something out for those of you who received the College Essentials 2010 Home Mailer. I know how sometimes the bottom of the ad gets ignored, so for those who have this mailer, I don’t want you to miss out.

In the 8/1 Ad the Lexar 4GB Media Storage Twist Turn USB Drive is advertised at $9.99. (I believe it usually sells for twice that). Inside the College Essentials Mailer was a Target coupon for -$10 off Lexar 4GB Twist &Turn USB drive. Which will make it FREE.

There is a new Home Made Simple coupon booklet, Organize in Style available to request by mail. You can go HERE to request your booklet filled with over $35 in P&G coupons including Cascade, Dawn, Febreze and others. Allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.

-Thanks Hip2Save & Gloria!

*If you do not see signage in your store for the above deal- scan your items to be sure they are prompting gift cards. Some unadvertised and extended deals may have product inclusions that can vary from store to store or may be regional deals and unavailable at your store.

There’s a couple of new high value printable coupons available to tell you about. First is a Pepperidge Farm $1/1 Pepperidge Farm Cookies. There have been a couple different circular-shaped peelies spotted on Pepperidge Farm cookies these days in Target. One is $1 Off milk wyb 2 Pepperidge Farm Cookies, and the second is a Target Store Coupon for $1/2 Pepperidge Farm Cookies. If you can find either of these, they would make the following coupon even better.

$1/1 Pepperidge Farm Cookies 3 oz or Larger HERE 

-Thanks Rose Knows Coupons!

The second is another great Yoplait Coupon for the new Splitz yogurt. I don’t remember seeing these make an appearance in my store yet, but if you can find them, there are a couple Target coupons floating around to pair it with. A printable, and also there was one in a recent mailer. Either one will get you $1.25 off the Splitz Yogurt:

There are a couple new coupons up on SmartSource for Clean & Clear. One of them is a $1/1 and does not exclude trial sizes, so you can pick up the smaller 1 oz travel size carried at many Target stores for free. There will also be another option for some of you who will find a $1/1 ANY Clean & Clear product in their 8-1-10 SS insert.

Clean & Clear 1 oz Morning Burst Cleanser .97 (Travel Section)
-$1/1 ANY Clean & Clear product 8-1-10 SS x10/31
-$1/1 ANY Clean & Clear Product PRINT
= FREE

*Not all stores are accepting of using Qs on a trial size product even though the Q says ANY, and their policy states that a coupon may be adjusted down if it is more than the item.

In addition there is another coupon for the Morning Burst Surge up on SmartSource, but there is a better $5/1 to be had. I have included a coupon roundup below for Clean & Clear. If you are wondering about the Surge- it sells for $14.99 at my store so you can get up to a total of $8 off by stacking the best choice below. But if that’s too high a price for you after Qs- I also hear lots of you still reporting finding a variety of Clean & Clear products on Clearance too. So definitely may want to bring these along to Target on your next trip and see what you can find.
