I work at Target and we have a lot of problems with coupons, most of time it “beeps” but we can override it. If a coupon is more then the value we have to manually set the price for the coupon (however most cashiers dont) They are getting very strict about it. I have never refused coupons though unless they didnt buy what the coupon said.

Julie, I once had the same experience where the cashier would not accept both coupons. I emailed a complaint to customer service and they sent me a voucher for a little more than what the coupons were worth. Customer service also said I could pick up the ‘red’ phone if it happens again. It goes strait to customer service who can educate the managers and cashiers about their coupon policy.

I found a great deal today on the Venus Embrace razor at my Central Illinois Target today. They have sets on clearance that include a Venus embrace razor, a second cartridge, a full size 7 oz. container of Satin Care shave gel and a full 10 oz. size of Olay Body wash with spa exfoliating ribbons for $4.48. I used my $3.00 off a Venus Enbrace razor coupon from the P&G flyer two weeks ago and scored all 4 items for $1.38!
I also took advantage of $1.00 of Honey Nut Cherrios coupons to get the single serving cups for free. I could only come up with two Sobe coupons but used those toward the 10 for $10 and got the $5 gift card at the register.

I’m in Fl. and the gift card deal on the soap did not work. I asked the cashier about it, she said no. Bummed! I was able to use both coupons so not to bad of a deal.

The cashier at Target was really nice (he’s helped me out before) but several of the coupons beeped & he said he was unable to make them go through….for example I had a $1 off any Bounty and I wanted to use it on a single roll of Bounty towels priced at .99 cents. I asked him to override the sale price to $1 but he said he couldn’t. How do other Targets handle these types of coupons?? I know Walmart is always a beepless experience, but boy was it rough today!

thats true. I do appreciate the info though… it is nice enough to get the deals that we are supposed to get, that’s pretty fun. but then if other people are just copying them over again then that’s just not cool, cause it would be at other’s expense and then it’s no longer fun. retailer’s will think twice about giving these offers. even though i have not been even able to print these coupons at all I do appreciate all the other free samples I have gotten thanks to your website and the generosity of retailers. : )

You could be right, Norma. I’ve had a lot of people comment about making copies lately though for some reason, so I just try to educate people every chance I get. You won’t be able to print the coupons from library computers if another user has printed them before.

The SOBE deal didn’t work right but I didn’t catch it until I got home. They credited the mfr coupon but still charged a package subtotal of $10.00. I will go back and see if I can get them to fix it. FYI

Some Target deals do not work in all areas -in my area if it is not marked on the shelf it has never worked for me. And sometimes I get deals a week after the others. For the last month the price checkers have been broken. ARGH!. Target is a mixed experience for me. Did get a $5 off 75$ purchase toaday.

Norma I had that same problem on my home computer. Your can change your settings to allow you to print and then my husband said to change it back to medium or high filter level….
go to tools
Then Internet options
Then click on the privacy tab
Then click on settings
Change the filter level to low
and then you should be able to print.

Hope this might help.

katie – the only thing I don’t understand is how did you get around actually downloading the coupon printer software to each computer ? does the library not block out the ability to download this software? just want to know because I have to miss out on this sobe offer as well as others because my spyware will not allow it and when I scan it to let me know why it says it contains a mal-virus of some sort! uhhh, it’s such a pain! Anyway if my ware does not allow it I would think the library’s antivirus is much more effective at that.

Tara – I think she meant that you can print different coupons because there are different computer terminals which would probably mean each coupon has a different code..would that be okay in that case?

I tried the soap deal this morning and my Target said they did not have the $5 GC special….I was bummed!

Hi Katie – it sounds like you’re unaware of this, so I just wanted to let you know that copying coupons is illegal. Each Internet printable coupon has an individual code on it that may only be redeemed one time, so every copy means that the store is losing money because they won’t be reimbursed for those coupons. The coupons have limits on them for a reason.

Please know that I’m not trying to be harsh with you. I just think this is important for all of my readers to be aware of. If stores start having tons of issues with redeeming Internet printable coupons, we’ll all lose out because they will just stop accepting them altogether.

Not sure if it will help anyone but if you need more copies of coupons such as the sobe life waters but you only have 1 computer a good place to check is your local library. Copies at mine are 5 cents each and they always have about 10 computers on hand. My library also has free summer reading programs for all ages of kids so its a good time to bring the kids, put them in there groups, and go coupon printing crazy! You should check yours to see if they offer the same activities!

Marla, one per purchase does not mean one per transaction. It’s a common misconception that many cashiers have. One per purchase simply means that you can only use one coupon for every item you purchase. You have to buy them all in one transaction in order to earn the gift card, so I’d ask for a manager next time.

wen tto target to cash in on my Sobe… only got 1 free as coupon says 1 per purchase. how do I get around it ..have the casjier do 5 transactions?

Julie – next time fight it! You can use one manufacturer coupon & one store coupon in the same transaction. The coupons say one only, but it means of that particular one. [ i.e. only one target coupon per item]. When I went the other day, I had a girl cashier ring up $47.18 worth of stuff. I gave her my coupons and she started scanning… when she got to my 2 for the Degree Body Mist [$2 Manf. & $1 Target] and she asked me which one I wanted to use so I said “Both. It’s 2 different kinds.” So she said “Oh ok – no problem.” Be confident! After my coupons, my total was $18.91!!! The cashier was actually JEALOUS and wanted to know where she could get Target coupons becuase they only get 10% off! Hahahaha. I left a very happy camper!

Deal seeking mom has the target coupon policy available so you can print and take with you when you shop. ollow the links that pertain to the Target deals all the way ’til you find the policy…however i did read the coupons and they do say that BUT it really all depends on your cashier. I worried about the same when I used 3 coupns to buy the soap…2 target coupons and 1 $2 off manufacturer coupon so I purposely got in the line with the young male cashier, I knew he would not give me trouble.he took my instore degree coupon as well as the free Digornio and the 3 softsoap coupons. Sometimes I think some cashiers like to give people a hard time & some don’t bother.

I tried the softsoap deal, found the clearance ones for $5.10, bought two, got the gift card, tried to give two manufacturer’s coupons and two target coupons, but my cashier would only accept one of each because they state on them only one per transaction. And she did that with other items I was trying to buy more than one of that day – for example the eggo bake shop items. I could not buy 2 and use 2 target coupons, she would only accept one. This was the first time that’s happened to me. Was she right?
