Target: Vick’s Gift Card Unadvertised Deals

This week the Target ad features a $5 gift card when you buy 3 Vicks Cough medication at $6.99. As usual, when I went to the store to check out the offer there are actually a number of items included in the promotion- not just what they pictured.

You just want to check for these signs indicating the gift card at your store- if you do not see the signs, you can still take 3 items to the register and just ask them to scan all three and the gift card will automatically pop up on the screen for the cashier.

I’d love to hear how you plan to do this deal! I am a big fan of Vicks Vaporub so I think I am going to get 2 of those plus the Vicks for kids.  I don’t have any Target coupons so my total should be $1.57 per item after gift card.
