I did stop by Target today and I found a few deals. I wanted to update you on two promotions as well.
This week there is a $5 gift card when you buy 3 L’Oreal items. The ad showed L’Oreal lipstick or mascara included in the promotion. I did find eyeliner was also included at $4.99. So you can mix and match with the other items in the promotion or you could try this:
Buy 3 L’Oreal eyeliner at $4.99
Use (3) $1/1 L’Oreal Target store coupon from 7/10 RP
Use $1/1 any L’Oreal product coupon
or Use (3) $1/1 LβOreal Paris Eye Cosmetic Item, exp. 8/14/11 (RP 06/19/11)
Pay $8.97 and get $5 back
Final Price: $1.32 each
Also as an update, there is a great Kashi deal this week so Buy 4 Kashi items at $2.99 and get 1 free.
I checked the prices in my store and they were as follows:
Kashi Crackers and Cookies were $2.79
Kashi Frozen Entrees were $2.99
Kashi Pita Crisps were not included in the promotion and priced at $3.19
So here are a few ideas for you:
Buy 5 Kashi Entrees at $2.99
One will be free
Use (1) $.75/1 Kashi Coupon
and Use $2/1 Recyclebank coupon (you need to earn points to get this one)
and Use (2) $1/1 Kashi items coupon (must log in or register and answer question)
and Use $2 off 4 Kashi item Target coupon
Final Price: $5.21 for 5 or $1.04 per item
Another option:
Buy 3 Kashi Cookies or Crackers $2.79
Buy 1 Kashi Entree at $2.99
Buy 5th item of your choice (a $2.79 item will be what is free)
Use (1) $.75/1 Kashi Coupon
and Use $2/1 Recyclebank coupon (you need to earn points to get this one)
and Use (2) $1/1 Kashi items coupon (must log in or register and answer question)
and Use $2/1 Recyclebank coupon (you need to earn points to get this one)
Final Price: $4.61 for 5 items or .92 each
and if you just want the Pita Crisps:
Buy 4 Kashi Crisps at $3.19
Use (2) $1/1 Kashi Pita Crisps coupon
and Use (1) $1/1 Kashi items coupon (must log in or register and answer question)

Thank you. You know I was in Publix tonight and for the first time ever I took my binder in, now I am very much a newbie and don’t seem to be saving much at the grocery store. I just don’t know how all of you do it. I only seem to get any results with the drugstores. Our stores here in Fl do not double coupons unfortunately wish they did. I was kind of hiding my binder at first until I started looking at how the prices seem to have increased lately. From that moment on I was no longer embarrassed and not sure I can shop at Publix anymore even though I love it. The prices just seem to have skyrocketed. And do you notice on the B1G1 the prices seem to go up. I cannot believe that Chips cost almost 5 a bag now. I simply love that store but I am going to be probably doing more shopping elsewhere. It is only me, I don’t know how families make it.
Charlene says
Well Connie don’t move West because all I have is Safeway really and they have exactly one good deal this week which is ice cream π I am so out of touch with what people really pay since I have couponed so long. I watched this girl drop $71 today on literally nothing at Walgreens. Deodorant, body wash, popcorn- a bag of things you can get free all the time at the drugstores. You could see she wanted to throw up spending so much on nothing and I felt terrible for her. I don’t spend $71 on groceries for an entire week for a family of 4.
karen says
I live in FL and I am noticing that wal-mart is very crowded now a days but I never get their produce, publix has better options. However the sales are not as good. I usually visit either wal-mart/publix/target depending on the sale, and its hard! esp. when we go to buy meat….I almost never buy it @ publix b/c its so incredibly expensive(unless its a very good sale)..the wal mart by our house has a cheaper cost on chicken/beef(1.88/lb on chicken) but Im not really keen on the fat still on the chicken. π its hard to watch for sales with coupons not materialize at all! π
Delia says
I just wanted to mention I went to my target yesterday & the cashier told me (after ringing me all up) that they r now very strict(sp?) about the one per transaction thing. He told me they had gotten in trouble and could no longer do it at all. I had to get out of line & separate all my items into sep transactions which is fine just wish I had known before checking out. So I wanted to give u a heads up they are really cracking down at my store.
Ashley says
Connie, I’ve been couponing for about 8 month or so now and I’ve just now really started to save at the grocery store. I refuse to buy things that my family won’t eat just because I have a coupon. I do have stores that double coupons so that helps me but I think once you get into it more you will figure out how to save more. I started one store at a time. Target was my first so I started with personal hygiene items and things like that first. Have you searched the coupon database for items you use frequently? I would’ve been saving a lot more a lot sooner if I would’ve been paying closer attention to Charlene’s site and realized the coupon database was there.
Ashley says
I know what you mean about not knowing what people pay Charlene. I was just thinking last night that I can’t even imagine what I was paying for absolutely nothing before I started couponing. I didn’t think anything about dropping $5 on bodywash because I didn’t know any better.
Heather says
Make sure to check your receipt! I went yesterday and my free box didn’t come off. I bought two cereals, two cereal bats, and 1 granola bar. CS double checked all my items and they were indeed part of the promo, so not sure why. Just a heads up!
Rachel R. says
Thank you so much for the Kashi deal! I went to Target last week ready to buy 4 boxes of TLC bars with my $2 off Recyclebank and $2/4 Target coupon but they weren’t on sale so I held off. So glad I did! We love the chocolate coconut granola bars especially.
Charlene says
Delia, do the newspaper coupons say limit 1? I don’t remember seeing that on the coupon but I’ll have to be more careful to include 2 scenarios on these types of deals from now on.
sheila says
Just wanted to note that the recyclebank coupons are only producing 1 print, and you can only get them once per month. Bummer π
Charlene says
Shelia, I mentioned that in the matchups. The deals reflect only one of those $2 coupons.
Delia says
Charlene- I am not sure about the newpaper coupons I was using all printable ones. I never really bothered to separate them since the cashier would allow so I figured if they did it must be ok. Yesterday when I had my husband and 2 little ones with me (not a good time for this to happen) I had to get back out of line to separate. Just wanted to warn people so they get caught off guard and waste a ton of time like I did. This was the store on Sunrise… I actually went to the same store on Friday and all was fine the cashier said this was a super new change. Anyway just a heads up in case anyone is limited on time like I am.
Charlene says
Oh gotcha. Ok well someone else said I was encouraging people to be liars or I was a liar or something by posting scenarios with more than one Target coupon π So I should put 2 scenarios up anyway.
Connie says
Thanks everyone for all the encouragement, I need all the help I can get. I am losing 1100 a month and income and need to try to save where I can. I am hoping to retire in about 20 months and will need it more than ever then. But at least will have more time to devote to it. I do search the databases. Went into Walmart today and for the first time had a bad experience with a cashier. Previously I have called corporate hq and gave commendations on two fantastic ones at Walgreen’s. I only had about 20 items and had about 5 coupons from inserts and 1 for TP straight off of Walmart site I printed for a $1.00.The lady going to have to wait on this one , I said why, I was tired had worked all day spent way too long in there, trouble I am finding is my shopping time has dramatically increased with couponing. She said where did you get this one from it looks like a copy. I told her straight from your website and I can assure you it is not a copy. She said well been a lot of fraud and got to check it and called someone. I told her I think if I was going to commit fraud I think I would go for more than a lone $1.00 and this is making me angry. The girl came over and looked at it and said its okay its the ones from Smart Source that are fraud. Now I know Smart Source is not a fraud site. I plan on calling Corporate tomorrow and getting further clarification if they are going to stop taking all of SS or just specific ones because no 1 I don’t want to waste my time and end but SS needs to know. I know they are putting different coding on theirs now to for ward off fraud. Has anybody else had this happen. It also not only cost me time but it is very embarrassing. It is not like I had cleaned the shelf off or something. I would hate to see how they would treat someone with a lot of groceries and coupons.
sheila says
OMG Charlene, I hope you didn’t think I was implying anything with my comment, I was just disappointed myself when I used my RB points for Kashi and letting all know that it was only 1 print. Of course, I’d do it all over again cuz we love Kashi, but I’m always expecting 2 prints with Bricks.
Anyway, I love your site and your honesty, I’d never try to imply anything negative or dishonest about you.
Charlene says
Ha, ha… no I didn’t think that at all Sheila. I know you better than that π It is a stinker that you only get one print. I was talking to another reader about some lady that went off on me and called me a liar for using 2 Target coupons in the same transaction π So I was saying I should probably have a normal scenario for people that can use more than one Target coupon (aka the liars) and then a second scenario that is just one Target coupon…
Melanie says
The link for the Kashi coupon from their website is taking me to a discussion page. I clicked “coupons” at the top, but it only says they’ve partnered with RecycleBank. Is there something I’m missing on their website to get the two $1 coupons from them?
Charlene says
Melanie- you need to answer the question they ask.
