UPDATE: It looks like Target may not have correctly outlined this promotion on the signs in store. It was in my SmartSource today and it looks like this is the deal:
Buy 1 Scrubbing Bubbles Starter Kit at $9.99
and buy one refill at $3.99
Get $5 gift card back
Use $4/1 starter kit from 9/11 SS or printable coupon
and Use $1/1 Scrubbing Bubbles refill coupon
Pay $8.98 and get a $5 gift card back
Final Price: $3.98 for both items!
We are headed to the pumpkin patch today but I ran into Target just to check a few quick things and spotted this deal:
Scrubbing Bubbles One Step Starter kit $9.99
Get a $5 gift card with purchase
Use $4/1 Scrubbing Bubbles 1 Step Cleaning Starter Kit, exp. 10/22/11 (SS 09/11/11 #2)
Final Price: $.99!
This was not featured in the weekly ad so you want to look for signs in your store advertising the promotion and hopefully you get the same deal!
I also noticed these signs:
Now that sign says buy a refill at $3.99 and get a $5 gift card. You better bet I tested it and the gift card did not prompt. I am wondering if maybe it should read- Buy 2 and get a $5 gift card?
You might grab the Scrubbing Bubbles coupons here or check today’s SmartSource insert.
If you check Target out today, I’d love to hear what you find!
See more Target deals for the week here.
PS: I have found the easiest way to check for a gift card, is to give the items first and once the cashier scans them the gift card will prompt. If it does not, I usually just ask them to remove the items from my order.

I bought one of the Scrubbing Bubbles One Step Starter and it had a buy one get one free coupon in the box for the refill. I hope it is buy 2 get the $5 gift card because I have 2 of the coupons.
JJ says
Yay, i got a BOGO coupon on the refills from the ones i got at safeway at 2 for .99 😀
Jessica says
Charlene, re: the refill, did you point out what the sign said to the cashier or did you just put it back? Whatever the case, if it’s buy 2, that’s still a really good deal. I always have a $5 card on hand to roll. If you pair it with (2) $1 IP from coupons.com or $1 Q from 9/11SS that’s only .98 for 2 refills! Plus, if anyone was able to get the starter pack from Safeway recently, there are B1G1 refill Qs inside. That would make it a MM. HTH! 😀
Charlene says
No I didn’t have time for further investigation because my husband and the kids were waiting in the car 🙂 I have to go back to get soccer gear so I will check into it more.
jennifer says
The One Step Toilet Bowl Cleaner deal was advertised in my Smart Source insert today. That is the only coupon insert I got today. Did anyone else get a RedPlum? I live in Modesto.
Nicole says
There is a page in today’s SS about this deal. It reads:
Purchase Scrubbing Bubbles One Step Starter and Refill at Target, get a FREE $5 Giftcard (available in-store throught 10.15.11)
Jessica says
No worries. I get it! lol, if you ever see a short woman in your store walking like her hair is on fire, that’s me. DH is always in the car with the girls. 😀
Rachel says
I was hoping there would be a good deal on refills coming up! I also got the bogo on refills from the Safeway starter kit and if the $5gc promo works on refills, that will be even better! Hope it works!
Also, for the starter kits at target, does anyone know if you can buy more than one per transaction and get a $5gc for each one? Or would you only be able to get one per transaction? I have a couple of the $4/1 coupons left.
Charlene says
Rachel, you should get multiple gift cards per transaction just fine.
Charlene says
Ah- well that would require that I open my paper up to see it right 😉
JJ says
Just came back from target, the fine print says you have to buy the starter kit at 9.99 and the refill at 3.99 to get the 5 gift card… not a really good deal at all, since i got 2 starter kits at safeway for .98
Charlene says
JJ I don’t see that fine print anywhere? Was it on your sign? I will try just the starter kit later and see what happens for me. The sign in my SS says you need to buy both though.
tereza says
think it would not be worst deal eve if you have to buy both started and refill – assuming that you can coupon from starer pack
2x $9.99 = $19.98
2x $3.99 = 7.98
– BOGO refill $.399
– 2x $4 starter kit(previously available pr $3 from starter kit)
total = $15.97 less $10 GC = $5.97 for all four items
Charlene says
I agree Tereza, I just want to be careful that people are purchasing the starters and not tearing into packages looking for coupons and then leaving them if they are not in there 😉 But your scenario is a good one considering the refill is normally $4 alone.
raj says
Rachel – why not do multiple transactions ? actually better that way … you can use the target $5gc on subsequent ones, no ?
Jessica says
That happened to me! I bought 2 of the starters from Safeway and only 1 box had coupons in it. Someone opened the other box and took the coupons out, but of course I didn’t find out until I got home. I thought the box looked a little beat up, but bought it anyway, bc I couldn’t reach the last box on the shelf (too high!).
JJ says
@Charlene, yes, the fine print from your pics is different that the one at my store, on the refill says you have to buy the starter kit to get the 5 gift card, and in the starter kit says you have to buy the refill to get the 5 gift card…
Apple says
I tried in my Target store in SF bay area (there were no sign for the $5 GC promotion) and it works fine. Purchased the starter kit with $4 coupon and got a $5 GC.
When I got back to home and almost immediately click the kit to the toilet, my BF asked me how I’m going to clean the “spray head” when it gets dirty…….. anyone has thought about this?
Charlene says
Oh nice Apple- so you paid .99?
Endcapps says
For those who buy the Starter Kit, check your 9/11 SS for a Mail-in Rebate form to get your FREE Plush Scrubby (a textured sponge)–making tereza’s scenario even better ($5.97 for 5 items).
This MIR is not valid for those of us who purchased from Safeway the Refill + System Kits. I already inquired.
michelle says
I bought them on sunday and they said that they think it was buy 3 cause i bought 2 of the $3.99 get a gift card but that isn’t what the sign said it just said this item. So i did get 1 $5 gift card (thank you fabulous check out girl) and didn’t argue for the 2nd. I had coupons fof $4 off the starter kit and $2 off the refill. so we got 2 starter kits and 2 refills for .96. Would have loved to have made $ but happby with what the girl worked out for me with little trouble.
Rachel says
I just tried it this morning at target and did not get a 5.00 GC. There was no singing for the GC so I tried it anyway, but womp womp…nada.
Charlene says
Rachel was it advertised in your Smart Source coupon insert?
Rachel says
No it was not advertised in my Smart Source, I double checked before I left but I took a chance anyway. I was in a rush to leave so I have to go back and return it later today. When I got home I noticed the cashier only scanned 1 out of 2 of my 1.00 off California Pizza Kitchen coupons, so I have to see if they can somehow rectify that, never had that happen, so this should be fun. I also forgot strawberry’s, the one thing my boyfriend asked me to get for him, and the one thing I forgot to write down on my list.
