TARGET freebies: ham, veggies, batteries, and cheap biscuits!

If you have a KMart near you, then you’re probably living it up doing the doubles deals. I don’t have a KMart anywhere near me, so I have to find other things to get excited about.

Here are a few deals at Target:

*FREE HAM – the Archer Farms “ham steak” (which is basically a thick piece of ham) is all priced at less than $2 at my store. Use the $2 off Archer Farm printable coupon from Target.com to get your ham for free! (I posted a picture at the top of the page)

*Free broccoli – the Green Giant broccoli is .50. Use the printable $1 off broccoli coupon and it’s free!

*Free batteries – Rayovac batteries are in the “one spot.” There is a printable coupon for $1 off making them free!
http://www.rayovac.com/alkaline/pdf/AlkalineHAB_Online_Rebate.pdf

*Cheap celery – the Green Giant celery is .50.

*Cheap biscuits – The Pillsbury layered biscuits are $1.07 at my store (YMMV). Use the $1/2 Pillsbury baked goods printable from Target.com and the .75/3 blinkie found in grocery stores (I found mine at Kroger). Buy 6 and pay $1.92 (that’s .32/can). There are 6 biscuits in each can.

*Starbucks Truffles – the small bags are $1.29 at Target. There are $1/1 blinkies at CVS making them .29/each!

*Pop Tarts – They are $1.78/box at my store (YMMV). Use the $1/2 Target printable and the $1/2 manufacturer’s coupon making them .78/box.

*Hefty Zoo pals are $2.19 at Target (again YMMV). There is a printable $1 coupon. Buy 7 and then use the $3/15 Target partyware coupon. Spend $5.33 OOP.

Here is the link to the manufacturer’s coupon:

*Glade holiday candles:
Buy four Glade holiday candles in the following scents and get a $5 gift card: Apple Cinnamon, Gingerbread or Glistening Snow scents.

The participating items are priced at $2.50/each, and if you scan them, it will say “buy 4, get a $5 gift card” on the scanner. The deal is good through 12/15.The following items are reported to work for this deal:

4 oz jar candles ($2.50)
Scented oil candle holders ($2.50) – only available in apple cinnamon
Scented oil candle refills 3-pack ($2.50)
Plugins scented oil refill, with free warmer in pack ($2.50)
Wisp flameless candles ($9.49 reg, $5.99 this week – there are $5 off peelies at my stores)
InStyle magazine ($3.59-$3.99)

There are printable coupons here: http://www.rightathome.com/offers/200811-glade/

Don’t forget the Fusion razors this week. They are $7.99/each and you get a $5 gift card when you buy 2. Buy 2 using your $4 off Fusion coupons from this week’s inserts (and hopefully you have a $5 gift card from another deal like the diapers or Glade candles). Spend $7.98 if you don’t have a $5 gift card (so it’s like you get one for free) or $2.98 if you do have a gift card.

If you have the $7 or $5 Iams coupons, you can also get a decent deal on dog food. It is on sale for $17.99 this week. Buy 2 and use a $7 and $5 coupon (along with a $5 gift card if you have one). Spend $18.98 for two bags of dog food (almost like getting one free!)

**Also keep your eyes open for TMF peelies on the Hillshire Farms lunch meat (the one in the Gladware container)
