Printable Target coupons

You can print as many as you want; it says "one item per coupon" but not "one coupon per transaction", and the gizmo will let you print out as many as you want at once (I printed 50 baby food coupons, for instance, and ended up using 35, giving the rest away in the aisle.)

At the bottom there is a coupon for $1 off 2 Gerber foods. If you buy the Gerber 2nd foods they are $0.52/jar. That means after the coupon they are $0.02/jar. Stock up for a baby that will be eating them in a few months, is currently eating them, or isn't even here yet (like I did), they keep for a while, or this is a great opportunity to donate to a food bank-- you can get 250 jars for $5 and help a family in your community. The deal also applies to other foods, they are not quite as cheap but, for instance, the 3rd foods and toddler dices are still a better deal than I often get even with double coupons at the grocery store. Quick tip-- it asks how many you want to print, 3 will fit on one page, and then you can just multiply and specify how many pages you want to print. The deal is good for a while so you can break it into more than one trip if you would like!

Also, apple juice-- there's a coupon for $1 off Mott's juice, 64 oz. or over. The Target price for Mott's apple juice, 64 oz., is $1.72. After the coupon that's $0.72/bottle. You can get the fortified Mott's Kids' Plus fruit punch for $0.82/bottle.

And I picked up flavored sparkling water, which I enjoy, for $0.09/bottle-- the recycling deposit is more than that! Don't buy the four pack pictured, buy the individual bottles (the coupon doesn't specify a size) and they are $0.59/bottle, minus a $0.50 off coupon.

Hope someone gets a good deal! I did, so I wanted to pass it on. (We saved $42.50 with coupons and hardly spent anything for massive amounts of stuff. The only down side was the people in line behind us got bored while our coupons were being scanned.)

Is this spam? I'm totally gonna whistle this.

Pretty Sneaky kq, spend all this time building up a rapport and coming to gatherings just to ultimately unload wares. I am so disillusioned.

So not spam. Sharing a great deal! Don't you like to save money and donate to food banks?

Oh, I see. You think homeless people should have to buy their own baby food. Jerk. [Razz]

Sadly, they usually do not allow glass baby food at food banks.
I learned this the two times I volunteered at one...

It might be different for plastic jars and boxes of cereal

Syn, the last food bank I donated to happily took glass jars of baby food. It may depend on the food bank.

That's good, as long as they are checked carefully.

I was very punctilious when I worked at the food bank

I should do that again. It's fun in a sad way and they have a huge fridge
