    QUESTION Would this scenario work?

    Hey! I'm new and preparing for my first trip out :D I've got my big binder and a great list of some super cheap stuff... but I'm wondering if these coupons would work together, honestly I just get confused by the combination of them... lol.

    I'm hoping to get some old spice deodorant and maybe some body wash as well, ideally super cheap for both.

    I have:
    1 Target Q for $1 off Old Spice Deodorant
    1 Manufacturer Q for $1.00 off 2 Old Spice products
    1 Manufacturer Q for BOGO Free Old spice body wash

    Now, if I'm thinking about this correctly, there would be 3 items, right? So I don't think that I'd be violating the coupon terms as there would only be one MQ per item, but I'm not sure. Would this work? What would I end up with? Would I actually have 3 bottles of body wash instead of 2?

    I have:
    1 Target Q for $1 off Old Spice Deodorant This is a store coupon so you may use it in addition to a manufacturer coupon on one of the deodorants below.
    1 Manufacturer Q for $1.00 off 2 Old Spice products You would have to purchase two items (outside of the free body wash)...say 2 deodorants to use this coupon.
    1 Manufacturer Q for BOGO Free Old spice body wash Then you would get the body wash free with this one.

    This means you would be purchasing a total of 3 products.

    Now, if I'm thinking about this correctly, there would be 3 items, right? So I don't think that I'd be violating the coupon terms as there would only be one MQ per item, but I'm not sure. Would this work? What would I end up with? Would I actually have 3 bottles of body wash instead of 2?

    HTH!

    From my understanding you can only use one like target coupon in a transaction.

    You can only use one target.com per item per transaction.

    The Target.com coupons say one per transaction on most if not all of them. The target coupons that are home mailers or catalina coupons don't usually say one per transaction.

    Hmmm I guess maybe I actually never looked at them and assumed they were like pretty much all other coupons. I really just started couponing at target since I moved here a few months ago (well trying to coupon there). Ooopps.
    Just goes to show even people who have been couponing for years still make mistakes.

    Thats absolultely correct, we all do still make boo boos from time to time and learn new stuff :) - and sometimes the store coupon policies can be a little difficult to keep up with. The one per transaction text showed up I want to say some time last year and so far it's been on nearly every target q that I've printed. We keep an updated FAQ for your convenience in the stickies in the forum with a direct link to the target coupon policy so that you can easily keep up with any changes that might be made, and we update as we learn of new changes. We hope that you find that to be helpful.

    Yes...and moving doesn't help either when you get used to knowing what the stores policies you use are...then you have to learn a whole new set of policies from each new store you start shopping at. It stinks every time we move and I have to do this...eventually I'll be a walking encyclopedia of store's policies from coast to coast...Lol!

    Oh and can I also say I miss Walmart...because what is up with Target's receipts? Might as well be in another language! It's taken me a minimum of 5 minutes to decipher whether or not I have gotten all my coupon discounts the few times I have been able to find a good deal.
