Update: The Target coupon is no longer available. You can still use the manufacturer coupon and pay $9.99.
This is one of the crazier things I have seen but works out really well for us!
Target released a coupon yesterday for $10 off Foodsaver units. Now I printed that coupon and there were specific types of Foodsaver units mentioned- I checked the prices and they were pretty much $70 units.
So as of this morning, Target has amended the coupon and now it has no restrictions and just says $10 off a Foodsaver appliance!
Crazy! So anyhoo, this turns into a fantastic deal:
Handheld Foodsaver appliances are $19.99
use the $10 off Target coupon
and Use the $10 off Foodsaver coupon
Final Price: Free!
If you printed that Target coupon yesterday, you will need to print another copy today without the exclusions on it or you can just hunt down the higher end units and get $20 off those.
You might want to grab the coupons available for the bags as well:
- Get $2 off Foodsaver bags coupon
- and Buy One Get One Free Target coupon for Foodsaver bags
*Use zip code: 60625 if needed. I just printed both of these coupons myself and one expires 5/16 and the other expires 5/19.
NOTE: This is what the new coupon looks like without any restrictions. If your coupon says select units and lists the units right on the coupon, it can only be used on the models listed not the $20 handheld device.

I can’t find the Target Foodsaver coupon…what category is it in?
Charlene says
Ramsey,
Check household.
Stephanie says
The manufacturer’s coupon I printed says “any foodsaver Vacuum sealing system”. Does this cover the handheld? is it a vacuum sealer? Also the small print says “May not be combined with any other offers.” Will it still work?
Charlene says
Stephanie,
You can stack a manufacturer coupon with a Target coupon at Target stores. Foodsaver brands itself as “the #1 vacuum foodsaving system” and that obviously includes all of the products they distribute. I think foodsaving system is just the way they market themselves.
Also, when you look up the little handheld units on Foodsaver.com, they are referred to as “Foodsaver Freshsaver Handheld Vacuum Sealing System.”

So I can’t see any reason why this deal won’t work.
Melina says
The Target coupon I have says “select” Foodsaver systems. The 19.99 one is NOT listed.. I printed two this morning after someone in my coupon group said that it had no restrictions… then I read here that there ARE no restrictions.. so I went to my Target across the street.
Not only did they refuse to honor the coupon, they took the coupon from me and tore it up. They threatened to call security if I’d attempt to obtain something fraudulently again.
Do NOT try to get this unit for free if your Target coupon lists any type of Foodsaver unit other than ANY.
Charlene says
Melina,
Holy smokes! I don’t appreciate being spoken to like that. I would not tolerate that for a moment myself let alone having a coupon torn up in front of me. I am not an unethical coupon user, in fact I have issues all the time from readers that feel I am a little too strict on coupon usage. You might consider calling corporate to discuss the situation.
Regarding this deal, I think I see what your problem might have been. As I mentioned in the post, there are two different coupons. I personally printed a coupon from Target.com yesterday and it said select units and listed 3 or so that it was for.
If that is the coupon that you have, you just need to throw it away as it is absolutely not the right coupon to use on the $20 units.
When I printed that exact same coupon this morning, the wording has now changed on the coupon.
This is precisely what the coupon that I printed this morning reads: “$10 off FoodSaver Appliance.” My manufacturer coupon reads “$10 off any Foodsaver Vacuum Sealing System.”
You need to just toss the coupon that has the specific units mentioned and print a second copy with the changes that Target made. My coupon from today does not say anything anywhere about select units.
sue says
Some Targets are notorious for enjoying humiliating shoppers. The best way to handle it is to pull out your cellphone and call corporate right there at the register. Try to be calm and explain the situation, it usually gets cleared up.
At the very least you will get an apology for being humiliated.
Charlene says
Well I can’t say I have been treated like that but perhaps the store has had a lot of issues with abuse and they draw a hard line. I see tons and tons of people on the blog that are truly delighted when they can misuse coupons ;). So I can see both sides I guess. I don’t condone treating people badly but it sounds like she just got confused and did try to use a coupon incorrectly. It happens and this is a confusing deal so easy to make a mistake.
I would at least send an email off though as Sue mentioned. They should not talk to you like that under any circumstances.
Michelle says
It didn’t work for me and mine says any FoodSaver. I did contact corporate to ask and was told I could only use one and couldn’t use two and I must say the manger wasn’t very, Pleasant
Charlene says
Well that is a shame Michelle but $10 is not bad if you really want this… I still don’t see any reasons why the coupons are not valid. Did they by chance offer any explanation?
Melina says
I didn’t appreciate it at all – the crappy part is that I printed two copies of the one with the select units, and now Target.com will not allow me the print any more, it says I’ve already printed my limit. :/ I’ve been eyeing one of these units for a while and just haven’t had the extra $20 to spend on it.. it figures something like this would happen to me.. lol!!
Shawna says
I just went to Target’s site and the coupon lists three units. I am beginning to think that they “spy” on these couponing sites. (JK, kind of) I am bummed about the handheld unit, because my kitchen is already so full of appliances. Oh, well.
Tina says
I just printed it and it printed select ones. Did they change it again?
After hearing all the horror stories I’m a little scared to even try it:(
I second Charlene, I would not of put up being treated like that and I would call corporate immediately.
Don says
Wow some targets humiliate customers? I”m glad the Targets near me aren’t like that. Worst they would do is refuse not threaten or tear it up! Anyway this deal worked for me but the Target coupon had to be manually pushed through.
Karissa says
I have the same coupon as well and it beeped and wouldn’t go through. Bummer!
pammy says
The Target Coupon, is changed back now, to select units, and it lists three specific one, too many people must have rushed out to buy this amazing deal… any ideas on how I can still get this good coupon????? Thanks
Charlene says
My thought is that maybe they had a mistake on the coupon when they listed the three units originally and went to change it and we caught it when they were changing? Just my thought 🙂 I would check the new coupon but the original one from yesterday I can’t find. I tossed it and is is buried somewhere that I don’t care to investigate 😛 They do spy on us. You wouldn’t believe the nasty emails they send threatening to sue you for posting images and such from them.
Charlene says
Melina,
If you really want it I will mail you my coupon. Just email me your address. If it makes you feel better I have a super fancy one that has been collecting dust in my pantry for about 3 years. The bags and stuff are expensive and I found it to be more trouble then it was worth :).
Victoria says
I got one for free, but I had to be persistent. When I checked the shelf, there weren’t any. I went to customer service and they checked their inventory and located one in the back. Then when I checked out, one of the coupons beeped. (I guess because they needed to adjust it down since the item is priced at $19.99. I did have the correct target coupon.) The cashier then told me that I couldn’t use both coupons. I explained that I was using one Target coupon and one manufacturer coupon. He said the value of the coupon can’t exceed the price of the item. I told him that this Target always adjusts the coupon down. He had a trainer come over and she told me the same thing the cashier told me. I kept suggesting that they adjust the coupon down. Finally the trainer went to the back to check with a manager. I waited patiently, and she finally came back and without a word and and dour look on her face, rang up my free FoodSaver. I graciously thanked her even though she didn’t act very friendly while she was ringing me up. Thanks for sharing this great deal, Charlene!
Myranda B says
Charlene,
You really don’t use it? I have been wanting one for so long, I love them. My mil has one, but it is a pain to drag my food over there 🙂
Melissa Bennett says
I’ve been treated like a criminal more than once at my closest Target. I’ve complained to corporate and it has made no difference. There is another Target about 10 miles away and if there is something I really want I drive there.
Chad says
Just tried to get this deal at my local Target and they were already SOLD OUT!
Lori says
I tried to print the coupon and it would not let me. Then it disappeared. Guess it reached it’s limit? If anyone printed one they don’t need I wanted to get two for my nieces. Thanks!
Jessie says
I had “checked” the coupon to print and it didn’t print, went back and it’s gone. Target must have pulled it?
malissa says
Charlene,
Will you please mail me that coupon if you don’t mind? I would love to have that 🙂 my email is [email protected] .
Thank you in advance:)
Megan says
Wow! I went to my store this afternoon and the cashier was great. The coupon did beep but she pushed it right on through. Stinks some people didn’t get to have the same experience!
Alison says
They are having problems with the coupons. I just got back from 2 stores that didn’t even have 1 in stock. But I used the BOGO for the bags, and it rang up as the item needed to be weighed. So they manually put it thru and mentioned that some of the coupons are scanning as wrong items or too few barcode lines. Something is up and they are doing something with it, for good or bad?
Jessica says
It looks like it might be gone now. I printed it this afternoon (about 4:00 central time) and mine printed with restrictions, not like the one pictured above. I still think its a great deal with the manufacturer coupon.
Gina says
I just went to the Target site and the FoodSaver coupon is nowhere to be found. I checked every single category to be sure, and the BOGO bags coupon is still there but not the $10 off. :-/
Sarah says
I can’t find the Target coupon either… 🙁 On another note, I tend to have a lot of issues using my coupons at Target in general.
Ramsey says
I was able to purchase 2 of the handheld vac sealers at my Target…They were $19.99 – $10 manufacturer’s coupon – $10 Target coupon. The Target coupon beeped but after thoroughly reading the coupon (no restrictions) the front end manager keyed it through! So I actually “made” 1 penny on each! THANKS!
kathy says
I just tried to purchase the FoodSaver at the Laguna store in Elk Grove and they would not accept the Target coupon even though I have the coupon that doesn’t have any exceptions. The customer service clerk said the coupon was a mistake and couldn’t be used on the handheld FoodSaver. I am so annoyed right now.
kweena says
I used mine earlier about 3:30 pm and it beeped ..but the manager pushed it through ..so it worked with no problem …I was only able to get one because I guess some folk bought them out ..guess ill have to throw my Target coupon away !
Joanna says
Kathy, I’m in Natomas and my cashier pushed it right through. If you’re willing to do the drive I would try another store. You still have another month before the coupon expires. Good luck!
mary says
I just bought mine today using both coupons so I got it for free.This was in Hoover Alabama.
