I almost never bother with .99 items using a $1 coupon at Target anymore since I always have problems at the register. I just tried again to use the $1 Hershey’s Bliss coupon for the .99 Bliss bars and had two different cashiers reject the coupon. So I am always hesitant to post these deals as I know how frustrated I get and I don’t want you to be frustrated too.
Anyway, there are trial sizes of Banana Boat sunscreen at Target for .99. Use the $1/1 coupon from 5/3 SS and get them free (theoretically). This is not a deal I will pursue as I don’t like the hassle.
So I was very excited when Amanda spotted spray Banana Boat sunscreen for $1 in the dollar spot at her store. Since the item is exactly $1 you shouldn’t have any problems with the register beeping. Whoo hoo! Thanks Amanda!
If you have any tips for getting cashiers to take these coupons, I’d love to hear them!

I must be very fortunate. Last night I purchased the Bliss candy bars (10 of them at .99 with the 1.00 coupon), Banana Boat sunscreen (4 of them at .99 with the 1.00 coupon), and Chex mix (5 of them at .99 with the 1.00 coupon). Every single coupon beeped but the cashier put them through anyway. I also had 17 coupons for Protein Water & 14 coupons for the small pringles cans. My original sub-total was 48.24 & I ended up spending 3.88. It was a lot of fun.

If the coupon gets the gray screen and the cashier doesn’t seem to know what is going on I tell them “Push K1 and it will accept it” I have been going coupon shopping at Target long enough to know which buttons they need to push. I didn’t have any problems with my Bliss or Banana Boat coupons today.

Anon, It isn’t a matter of what to push its a matter of them refusing to push it.
If you guys are successful with these coupons I will keep posting them. Just so you know I am really jealous of the Bliss!! ๐

Well Charlene I must admit I also have tons of Targets to shop at. I live in Houston TX and there is a Target almost every 5 miles around here. So if the deal won’t work at one Target I just go to the next. I have learned which Targets are coupon friendly.

That’s really awful, it’s not like it’s really costing *them* any money anyway. When I worked for Target back in High School I *always* did whatever I could to get a coupon to work. Especially if it had just expired, there are all kinds of manual overrides for that kind of nonsense.
If I was you, I would just talk to Customer Service about it. If anything, they could adjust it manually to 99 cents. You could even buy the items, and bring them to customer service with the coupons and they can give you a refund. A pain in the but, but handy if it’s something you really want.

My Target had the spray Banana Boats for like 8 bucks!! Good luck to the rest of you!
