Target Deals

As promised, I thought I would share my Target deals from the past few days. There are some great deals to be had right now! I also wanted to share a strategy I use for spending very little out of pocket at Target.

Here are my best deals from this week. To see how I got these deals and for others, check this list.

The deal I want to highlight is the Special K deal. Special K products are on sale for $2.39 this week, and if you buy 5, you receive a free $5 Target gift card. Target has these deals periodically, where if you buy a certain number of particular items you receive a $5 gift card. Since I don't do my regular grocery shopping at Target, instead of blowing the gift cards on extras, I've been saving them and rolling them over for subsequent deals.

For instance, a few weeks ago there was a Quaker promotion similar to the Special K one, where if you bought 5 Quaker products, you received a $5 gift card. I purchased the 5 Quaker products for $2.50 each and used a $1.00 coupon on each. That made my total spent $1.50 per box or $7.50 for 5 products, and I received a $5 gift card at checkout.

Now this week I purchased 5 Special K products for $2.39 each and used a $1.00 coupon on each. So my total was $1.39 each or $6.95 for 5 products. But then I used my $5 gift card from the Quaker promotion, making my actual total spent just $1.95 for the 5 products. Plus, I got a $5 gift card for the next promotion! (You can also roll over your gift card more than once on the same promotion, as I did when I took advantage of the Quaker deal 4 times!)

I would estimate that there's a promotion involving a $5 gift card nearly every week, and there's is one that I want to take advantage of every 3 or 4 weeks. I have used this strategy to get very cheap cereal, granola bars, crackers, cookies, and diapers!

Rolling over gift cards from Target deals Works for Me!
