It’s Freebie Friday: $10 Target gift card giveaway


It’s Freebie Friday again! If you’ve been reading my blog for long, you know that I have been doing a gift card giveaway each month. It’s hard for me to believe that another month has gone by already! I got so many great savings ideas from the comments on the giveaway post last month that I decided to do another Target gift card giveaway. If you shop at Target, you know that even $10 can go a long way if you use coupons!

The giveaway will run from now until 11:59 PM (PST) on Friday, 3/27/09. I will announce the winner on Saturday, 3/28/09. (The winner will be randomly selected using random.org)

You can enter up to four times. Here are the ways that you can enter:

1. Post a comment telling me about some of your “favorite” Target bargains.

2. Sign up to follow my blog (if you are already following my blog, you automatically get an entry!) or subscribe to my blog (if you subscribe, please post a comment to let me know that you have subscribed).

3. Sign up to follow me on Twitter (if you already follow me, you’re entered!)

4. Create a post on your blog letting others know about the giveaway and link back to my blog. Be sure to comment here with a link to your post!

Please create a separate post for each of your entries. If you win, you need to provide me with some way to contact you. If your profile is public with a link to your blog, that works. Otherwise, watch the blog closely on Saturday, 3/28 for me to post the winner.

(If you post a comment as “anonymous” you need to include some sort of identifying information or your entry will not be valid)

Good luck!

And….if you’re looking for your “freebie fix” check out the recent freebie posts here.

  6. savvy shopper says:

    I am new at saving money…seriously. We have always had a two income household with two working professionals. Two months ago, I was laid off from a company I had been for 5 years.
    I am learning from blogs like this one that we can live comfortably on one income. Thanks for all of your information and savings tips.
    I will post your link to my blog!

  7. Mad Housewife says:

    I love the Dollar Spot also! And the great coupons for the Mott’s applesauce we have had the last few weeks!

  8. Kendall and Lee'sa says:

    The dollor spot is always my favorite target deals, but I have also found some great deals just walking down the back ends of each ile because they put all the clearance stuff back there.

  9. Kendall and Lee'sa says:

    I already follow your blog, but I just subscribed to it.

  13. I love the deals you can get with target coupons and manufacturer coupons when used together

    I buy the majority of my groceries at Target (we don’t have a SuperTarget but one with a great grocery section)

    I love Tar-Jay!

    Peace

  15. Michelle says:

    If you log onto Target.com you can enter your zipcode and get Target coupons right there to print from your computer, they also accept manufacturer’s coupons.
    I love our dollar aisle when you first walk into our store, and I really enjoy their Archer Farms food items.

  16. Carolyn G says:

    I love browsing the outside ailes for their clearance. I once picked up some kitchen rugs for $3.00 each because they were hidden under some sheets.

  17. I’m following your blog now!

  18. My favorite recent Target deal was the Motts applesauce 6 packs for cheap. I never eat a jar fast enough, but I love applesauce so these were a great (cheap!) compromise.

  19. Charlene says:

    I love all the great clearance deals on pretty much everything in the store 🙂

  20. mommy2davin says:

    I love the dollor spot and the clearance end caps.
    great deals!

  21. I love the broccoli when it’s on sale and they have their $1.00/1 coupons, making it .50!!! Yum!!

  23. I also follow your blog 🙂

  24. The Sensible Momma says:

    I’m loving the Quaker deal right now…I was able to save 57% this week doing that deal!

  25. I had to say that I’ve never had to watch our budget, because I believe I always should have, but until some hardships occurred over the past two years, I hadn’t been as keen on it. Now I am really watching! I have loved the Target meat deals recently. I watched Target some time back and thought their meat was way overpriced. Then these $2.00 coupons came out plus I’ve found lots of packages with a $2.00 or $2.50 coupon to use today. Together, I’ve gotten great deals. I’m assuming this is Target’s version of the “Manager Specials”. I’m all over it! My freezer is full!

  26. I have been getting the Mega packs of Huggies wipes for $.99 a pack this week with the $5 Huggies coupon. I had a bunch that said “product” before they changed it to “diaper product”.

  27. CLEARANCE, CLEARANCE, CLEARANCE! We don’t have a Super Target but I’ve been finding good deals on food there. The Organic milk is cheaper there than at the grocery store!

  28. silverhartgirl says:

    I love their clearance it is really great when i have a cpooupon for it to

  29. I like Targets diapers. They are a pretty good quality and more affordable than grocery store brands.

  119. Target often has a sale on Kitchens of India meals for 2/$4, which is a great bargain for an easy meal we eat often (no preservatives and you just heat and eat – sometimes we put the curries on instant brown rice and sometimes we make omlets using them – they’re delicious and even our 18 month old eats them).

  127. My favorite recent deal was this morning. I clipped coupons from a FREE Sunday paper I received and found 2 $4 Shick razor coupons. Then minutes later I opened up the Target ad and saw the deal for buying 2 and getting a $5 gift card. I paid $6.98 for two razors and then bought shampoo and conditioner with the gift card for $1.31! I was pleased! It wasn’t free but it made a nice gift to give my mom two new razors and get shampoo and conditioner which I was out of! 🙂

  157. I shop the ends of aisles where they put all their clearance items. A few weeks after Halloween, I bought 5 wooden frames with Halloween-themed pictures in them for $1.00 — 20 cents apiece. I decorated the frames and gave them out as Christmas gifts.

  158. I love the dollar bins — great for small things as stocking stuffers, Easter basket goodies, and this past winter gloves since my children lose them left and right anyway so why spend a lot on them!
