I know that many of you ladies have taken advantage of the $3 off 2 coupons lately. But me and a friend have ingeniously devised a way to get the most from them.

First, we printed (each) out 7 $3.00 off coupons. Then, we went to smartsource.com's coupon printer and snagged the $2 off any Huggies diapers' coupon.

Go to the Travel Size isle in Health and Beauty. You will (hopefully) find in a bin tons of travel-size Huggies wipes for .97 each. If you use a $3 coupon for two of these, you get an overage of $1.06. What we did, was purchase 13 packs applying 7 $3 coupons to that and a Jumbo pack of Huggies diapers that usually retail for $9.97; with the overages and the $2 coupon applied the pack of diapers was also free. Additionally, there was $1 left over for anything else we wanted (I got a soda at the checkout). You have to get that dollar item otherwise they can't apply the last coupon because they will "owe" you money. If you do all this once, your bill should be $.69 - however of course you can do this as many times possible as long as there's enough in stock.

The $3 coupons only last until the 10th! The $2 coupons last until Feb. 16.

Let me know if anyone tries this!!

The $3/2 is one couponper transaction . Or am I mistaken? Can someone please confirm.

Yes, that's what it says. However most of the times I have gone, I've used more than one. 5 at the most, but it really depends on your cashier!

[mindyloo]

We've never had anyone say anything. If they did, I suppose we would just point out that we could do a million different transactions or one, which way would they prefer?

[cindybunn2006]

i've never had a problem either, but I know some people on here have. You got a good deal! Unfortunately, I don't like huggies diapers. But I suppose it would work well with the medium size bags of wipes instead. Thanks for sharing!

[Mariam84]

that is an awesome deal! I'm hoping to try it sometime this week! If i ever get out ill let you know guys know how the deal goes!

[cindybunn2006]

it's even better if you combine man Qs with the target qs on the wipes and body care. I've even used it on the little swimmers that huggies makes.

I suppose it seems like a no brainer on our end, but technically they don't have to allow you more than one transaction in a row. They could require the customer to leave the store in between each one, and in the case of that much overage they very well might. It's okay to laugh about it as long as we don't complain if they ever demand that we do it the *right* way. ;o)

[LadyShutterbug]

I agree. If the coupon says one per transaction, that all I do. I assume that they do that so this particular "deal" can't happen. I'm glad you got a great deal. I just can't bring myself to do it.

I;ve asked my GSTL's if I can use two per transaction before, and they said they didn't mind. But I asked before. I don't want to get any of my cashiers in trouble.

The only problem with the OP's theory is one, a cashier and a GSTL don't have to let you get overage on the coupon. If the coupon says 2/$3, then they look at the coupons and do the math in their heads, they can deny you that. Now, they can adjust the value of the coupon, but since each Target is their own, you could get denied that.

And, each Target has different pricing. My Target's travel size packs of Huggies wipes are 1.07, while my 40 counts are 1.97. I don't mind pay the measly 14 cents for 50 some odd wipes

Oh, and since they can make you seperate the transactions so its one coupon per transaction, then they would catch the overage and you couldn't just grab a candy bar or a soda to compensate for the overrage since the coupon doesn't apply to the product you are substituting the $1 or so overage for.

So, the diapers are about $10 and the travel wipes are about $1? So let's say we buy 1 diaper and 3 travel wipes and use 2/$3 Target and 2/$2 Huggies mnf. We pay 3 bucks!!!!
That is a more than fair transaction and price!

that is a great deal, careyberry.

i just wish my little one could use Huggies wipes! But, no problems using wipes and the bath products!

i have two $1 off bath products Q left...with no more lotions and having over 20 bottles of wash and only a couple of lotions, i am hoping between now and the 10th i can find lotion at some target!

[lochelle]

my son has never been able to use huggies diapers either..they just do not fit him right..but i bought 2 packs for some friends who are pregnant..i dont do the overage thing so i ended up paying $4 each which i dont think is bad..

[*Jackie*]

its not bad at all!

i used some and paid about the same to send to the Smith family in Texas, the one who's wife died after giving birth to twins

[LYP]

I sure wish my Targets (4 in my area) carried the Huggies travel. they only carry the Target brand of wipes in the travel

yes, triplets! sorry, don't know where my head is today

[Ann-Marie]

I wish I had the guts to pull this deal off. I have been beaten down and I am battle scared. I dont want any more trouble.

[QBMOM]

I buy the $.97 package and the container that is $2.34, so I only pay $.31 per coupon deal.

I have lots of friends having babies, so their diaper cakes are going to be loaded with wipes!!!

The only info I could find was about a woman in Michigan who gave birth to Triplets. Nothing about Smith's in Texas having twins. Either way it's very sad, but I'm confused.

this is a story about them..

[kayleelyn]

I just don't know.....it's a great deal (who wouldn't deny that!) but I hate to use a coupon for something that far less than it is intended. I hate to draw any unwarrented attention ! I wouldn't want them to stop offering these all together. I have printed/used pleanty of these coupons though. I have used only 1 per transaction but have no problem giving my 10 yr old a few bucks and having him buy 2 tubs of wipes for me. I mean, at my Target, the wipes are $2.34 and I am getting 2 tubs for around $1.91 with tax incl. (I am clean out of manu. cpns). That is still a STEAL for me! The travel wipes would be useless for me anyhow, I go through WAY too many and it would be a pain in the butt to always have to go get a new tub!

as long as we don't complain if they ever demand that we do it the *right* way. ;o)

I was told "one coupon" per purchase at Walmart when I had the post it coupons... so I went through a variety of isles a bunch of times until the kids fell apart on me. LOL

thanks Lochelle...i thought for a minute I was being investigated or being given the third degree....
