    HELP Venus Razor deal

    How do i do it? I just came back from Target, and they refused my coupons..

    Here's the scenerio:

    Here's what i had:
    1 venus spa breeze and 1 venus embrace razor.
    3 olay ribbons wash

    used 2 FREE olay body wash when u buy any spa breeze or embrace.
    used 2 $2/1 embrace or spa breeze razor
    used 1 $1 off olay body wash coupon.

    So here's what happened:

    They rejected the $2 off the razors as they mentioned that its already a discount and i would be paying too little for it to get a gift card, and that i would be getting too many items free. they also mentioned that i would not be entitled to the gift card for the olay body wash as i am not paying for it, since it was a free item with the coupon.

    I read many people on the forum have done it, what am i doing wrong in this deal?

    Also, i would like to check whether i am able to bring this deal to walmart for a price match and use my coupons with it? will i miss out the GCs?

    Sounds like you had a bad cashier/Mgr/store. It looks like your scenario was right, but that's what happens to me a lot at Target. Denied.

    If you price match at Wal-Mart they will not give you gift cards. Maybe try another store, or try again with a different cashier?

    It sounds to me like you were trying to use all MFG coupons. You can't stack mfg coupons, you can stack 1 Target store coupon and 1 mfg coupon per item.
    so you purchase 1 venus spa breeze, 1 olay body wash you can use 1 of the free body wash coupons OR $2 off breeze razor. You can't use both.

    The gift card deal has nothing to do with the amount you paid for the items. It has to do with the # of items you purchase.

    The nearest target is an hour away for me.. :sad: hubby didn't want to spend $15 on fuel again just so i could get the deal....

    Walmart is 20 mins away from me though.. even without GCs they work out to be about $2.50 each.. which is still an amount i'm willing to pay for since my razors are running out.. :hectic1:

    Correct me if i'm wrong, i'm still pretty new to this...

    I understand that i'm not allowed to stack the coupons.. But the $2 off are for the razors..

    And the free olay should be on the olay... when i purchased the venus razors..

    So it wouldn't be stacking different MFG coupons on 1 item..

    I read that some people have tried this deal and worked out well.. therefore decided to try it out... however my Target doesnt seem to accept it..

    As for the gift cards, i was entitled to them before handing my coupons over, but the manager rejected the coupons instead.. and the cashier must have been grumpy as she was telling the manager i was trying to get out of the store with all the free stuff.

    sorry i am pretty sure your wrong.

    it *might* be a YMMV, but her scenario is fine, and exactly correct.



    Lemme break it down for ya,

    1 razor
    1 BW

    You CAN use 1 razor q and the FREE xxxxxxxx WYB razor, however you can't use a $/1 xxxxxxxxxxxx q


    Make sense?


    OP your scenario looks fine with me. Target is one of my enemies. I try not to shop there for the reasons you've given today. They are Meanie heads!

    No, I'm sorry, this is incorrect.

    OP, the way you did it was right.
    You are using the $2/1 on the Breeze to pay for the razor, then using the free body wash on the body wash to get that item. The $2/1 is a form of payment you are choosing to put toward the razor (instead of, say, cash). A lot of stores don't understand that coupons are money. The body wash coupon does not state it cannot be used in conjunction with any other coupons, so you may use the razor coupon toward the razor and then the wash one toward the wash.

    Unfortunately stores are not properly trained and don't understand how it works. :sad:

    I just did this deal at my Target with no problem but I didn't use the $1.00 off the body wash as it was FREE when you bought the razor.
    Bought:
    6 Venus razors
    6 Olay Body washes
    Used:
    6 $2.00 off razors coupons
    6 Free body wash wyb Venus razors
    Total $30.00
    Got back $15.00 in GCS

    She was only using 2 "free" q's for two body washes (only buying two razors) and the third wash she was using the $1/1 on.
    So that would be fine.

    What exactly was the size and type of body wash you bought tcbucs03? I'm going back tommorrow and want to get the body wash that generates the gc. Yesterday I bought the spa exfoliating ribbons (has the bonus body lotion) 18 fl oz. and no gc was generated.
    I had sanity once upon a time I promise . It was just so long agoooo that I can't remember it.
