What a fun trip. I would have stayed longer and worked through all my coupons but only had an hour. Here’s what I got:
3 x RE Mirrors $4.99- used 3 x $5 off Target RE Bathroom Furniture coupons FREE
3x Target Home Photo Trays $9.98 used 3x $10 off Target Home Bathroom Furniture coupons FREE
3 x Men’s Merona shirts $2.48- used 3x $3 off Merona Men’s Shirt FREE
1 Toddler shorts $1.98- used Target $2 off kids denim FREE
2x Tide Travel Size $.97, used 2 x $1 off manufacturer coupon FREE
Quaker Granola Bars $1.82 x2-used 2 x $1 off Quaker item from Target and $.75/2 manufacturer coupon
Dole Salad $.99 used $1 off produce FREE
Bananas x 2 .46 per lb $1 off produce coupon x2
Strawberries x 2 $.99 each- used $1 off produce FREE
1 can Chef Boyardee $.97 used $1 off any FREE
Market Pantry Donuts $1.99 used $1 off bakery
Market Pantry French Bread $1.29 x 2- used 2 x $1 off bakery
Steaks x 5 packs, used 5 x Sutton & Dodge $1 off coupons plus $2.50 peelies on packages
Saved about $99. I used the $10 gift card I received from filling a new prescription from the pharmacy and then paid $12.27 out of pocket. I then realized I hadn’t given the cashier the 3 $5 off RE coupons. She made an adjustment and gave me $16 dolloars cash back. So I walked out with $3.74 more than I started with. Not bad for a few hours work.
I expected to have to negotiate a bit to get all my coupons to be honored but to my surprise I got a super cashier that did not hassle me at all. You may not be so lucky because there is usually some confusion on these Target.com coupons, like what they define bathroom furniture to be. And sometimes they adjust the Target coupon down so you don’t get an overage on the items you are buying that are under the cost of the coupon. I truly recommend “shopping” the checkout area before you pick a lane a look for a cashier that is smiling and interacting with the customers. It doesn’t hurt to take a copy of the coupon policy with you either.

I typically find that teenage boys are the best cashiers to use, I have yet to have them question anything.
Oh, you are good
Any other secrets we should know to avoid the dreaded coupon rejection?
How funny, I check out my cashiers before I get in line too! The younger people seem to be better about it, I pass on the old men.
Where did you get Sutton & Dodge $1 off manufacturer coupons?
Look on Target.com under coupons. You should be able to print two per computer.
Where were you getting the one dollar off produce coupons??
Love your site! Where can I get information on mystery shopping? I did it a few times in Tampa, Florida, but didn’t know you could do it for grocery stores. Thanks!
