Well, duh....target figured that out after they'd lost a zillion dollars by people using coupons they KNEW weren't valid. I'm not saying people on here are doing that, but I'm just saying that they HAVE been putting up with a lot of coupon fraud. So unfortunately these people have probably ruined it for everyone.

Yes, I heard about that incident I think. My friend who lives in Illinios called me and told me that she knew someone who printed out one coupon on the same target website I posted above and it took off like 8.00 off what was supposed to be a 1.00 off on salsa. I too thought that that was kinda wrong of her to take advantage of that mistake. It does make it bad for the honest people.

Yes, that IS what it did, and the problem was that people were using multiple copies of the $8 coupon off salsa (that cost about $2) so they were actually MAKING $6 off each jar of salsa. So they'd buy tons of jars of salsa, and then tons of other things, and only end up with about a $1 they owed. Like I said...really stupid....target tried fixing it on their online site, but then people were posting copies of the OLD coupon that still took $8 off so people were STILL doing it. So I guess target is really cracking down. Can't say I blame them.

Bummer! I went to Target last night (Sat) and the Pepsi was on sale. The Dr. Pepper went on sale today, but its 3 for $10.00. Not as good as the sale you had

It must be different here in California.
