Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
Does Target not allow 4 manufacturer’s coupons when you use a B3G1?
Hi Laura, great question! Most Target stores should allow you to use a manufacturer coupon on the FREE item (allowing you to use four in this scenario). But some stores will not. It is up to the store. I would try to use four first. But don’t be surprised if they only accept three in this instance. Another thing I’ve noticed with Target it that they will only accept one of each Target coupon at a time. For example, you could only use one of these B3G1 coupons in one transaction. When in doubt, call first or visit the customer service desk before filling your cart! Good Luck!
How did she get 3 of those $1/1 Triscuit Product? It says I can only print one.
Laura, Great question! Most Target stores should accept 4 in this scenario but some stores will not take a manufacturer coupon on the free item. It’s best to ask customer service or call first to see what your store’s policy is. Another thing I’ve noticed with Target is that they will only take one of each Target coupon in one transaction. So if you had two of the B3G1 coupons, you would have to do a separate transaction to use them both.
Daphne, I am not sure how Lily got three but here are some possibilities… She may have two computers and facebook accounts or she may have had a friend print one for her off their account. My mom does not eat a lot of the same things we do and she will print coupons for me that she won’t use. That works out nice! Also, I was able to print two triscuit coupons by hitting the backpage button after the first print. But two is the max it will print.
Hope that helps you guys out!
