Comments on: Target: Two Barbie DVDs for $9.98 http://dealseekingmom.com/target-two-barbie-dvds-for-9-98/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 07:49:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Tara Kuczykowski http://dealseekingmom.com/target-two-barbie-dvds-for-9-98/comment-page-1/#comment-139488 Tara Kuczykowski Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:34:05 +0000 http://www.dealseekingmom.com/?p=18790#comment-139488 I'm thinking that Target altered the coupon after the fact. The coupons were released on the site before the books were actually available in the store and did say that they were valid on the DVD. However, all of the books with just the coupons in the store were missing the center page that had this coupon on it. When I got the actual toy catalog in the paper the other day, the page that shows all the toys for this coupon does show the DVD, but it says in fine print that the coupon does not include the DVD. So I guess it's up to everyone's moral compass as to whether or not to use it. It was originally available for use on it. Now it seems they've changed their minds, but it does still work without beeping as far as I know. And please note that I was not aware of any of this when I originally posted. I just noticed it when I was at the store last night and forgot about it until this post was bumped with Lexa's comment. I'm thinking that Target altered the coupon after the fact.

When I look at the coupon on the HCW generator, it's a little distorted, and when I look at all of the coupons available directly on the Target site, it does not mention the DVD. The big clue for me: the movie title is misspelled on the coupon in the generator ("Muskateers" instead of the correct "Musketeers"). What's up, ladies? I'm all for a good deal, but not for coupon fraud... PS - I looked at my Target today for the Musketeers DVDs with the Christmas Carol peelies and couldn't find any! All of the Musketeer DVDs had a 'pink ticket' peelie on them, and all of the Christmas Carol DVDs had peelies for $5 off a list of movies, but the peelie expired 12/31/2008 (yes, 2008!). :( I'm a little curious about the coupon, too, same as Kelly and Maria.

Where is it hidden in their website? It is not in the usual coupon section...

I don't have the BB and the closest TRU is 1.5 hours away. Do you think they'd price match with the printed page of the big book online? I don't have the BB and the closest TRU is 1.5 hours away.

Worked perfectly, thanks so much Tara, I am so excited for my little girl to open these on Christmas day, she loves her Barbie videos. Also, I just gave the cashier a heads up that I was going to keep the videos in my cart so that I could price match at CS after I was done with my other purchases. He said that he could do the price match for me right there at the register. I think they have started to train their cashiers because so many of us are taking advantage of the price matching. And, I read on Hip to Save that you could use the code in the DVD to get a $5 coupon for any Barbie product (w/ a $14.99 value or higher). I did it when I got home and the back button printed multiples for me, although they all have the same bar code so I'm not sure about using multiples. I am going to match this with the $5 Musketeers Barbie Target coupon to get the doll to go with the DVD. I checked the dolls today and the turquoise one in my store was on a price cut for $19.99. So that's only $9.99 after the coupons, great deal for a really nice Barbie!!! So excited!!! I went to Target today and did this deal.

It generally has worked faster that way for me then going straight up there. Melissa- They price match any advertised price... I took a Meijer paper there with one of the toys in it last week... it was an Everyday Value... so that means it wasn't on sale and Target honored it. Also all Target are required to price match because it is Target corporate policy I believe.

Teeny tiny off to the right. Took me a while to find, I even had my daughter check for me and she couldn't find it. Silly that it's not with the other DVDs.

I went to Target with the TRU thick ad that was mailed recently and was told by a manager that they wouldn't honor the price match because it was considered a "toy catalog", not an "ad" and that they didn't have to price match anything whose sale price was for less or more than one week. She said, "That's been the most common misconception recently with the price matching - People think they can use the toy catalogs." I thought that was ridiculous! I'm sure it depends on the cashier you get (mine didn't know how to do a price match, so she called the manager who rejected me), but is this really in Target's fine print about price matching? She said, "Like if it was a two day sale, we wouldn't honor that either." but a one-month sale? Seriously? It's not like it was a black friday steal or anything.... It was for $4 off a 24.99 item!

I did this at the Target in Hampton,VA on Wednesday. I price matched the 3 Muskateers DVD with the TRU toy book, got it for 9.99 then I used to printable from the Target coupon generator. Some of the writing on it comes up skewed behind other words but it's in there and the coupon works at the register. (I use those generated coupons a LOT, they always work) Then there's a peelie coupon on the 3 Muskateers DVD for $5.00 off certain other titles, I can't remember all of them but we ended up with Barbie Fairytopia or something... well those DVDs are on the side of the electronics area and the whole section was only $4.75 each so I got the 3 Musk for $4.99 and the Fairytopia for free.

There are numerous coupons like that because they made the coupon terms too large to fit the coupon. The coupon that you printed from Target.com is actually a different coupon.
