We do apologize but at this time we are not accepting competitor's coupons. We still do honor manufacturer's coupons, and "R" Us coupons, but we no longer price match, for a number of reasons, and we do not accept other companies coupons.The Thorn Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15675320436198682726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90368481587066337.post-42110090598891594512009-11-15T00:25:30.423-06:002009-11-15T00:25:30.423-06:00Anonymous 1:01 - I'm sorry, but if you are bei...Anonymous 1:01 - I'm sorry, but if you are being that sneaky, putting a doorbuster ad inside of a regular ad, that is dishonest, and last time I checked, that's wrong.

I don't think people are stressed...@Anon 10:57. I don't think people are stressed about not being able to get the toy as much as they are angry that Target completely contradicted their policy on price matching posted on their own website.<br />I refuse to believe that people are mad that they did not get a toy. If you read further, you will see that a lot of these people DID follow the store policy to the letter. I feel that Target was wrong to deny sales based on an internal email that none of us consumers could have known about, and I feel they could have honored their own policy even if it this oversight would mean they lost some money that day. Where is the integrity? Where is the consistency? This is NOT the only store that pulls stunts like this. Don't some of you get it? These retailers are scrambling because we've all figured out their game and more and more people are getting familiar with couponing on a daily basis.. THEY WERE NOT EXPECTING US TO WAKE UP AND LEARN HOW TO TRULY USE COUPONS!!! They hoped that we would continue to throw out our coupons in the recycle bin or trash. It was their hope that we would not know the PERFECT time to use coupons. They get they we GET IT and they want to stop us. Well we have to be smarter than them to continue to save.<br />I suggest we all consider that LESS is MORE. SO stop buying the whole DANG store and leave some for others to buy. Don't you know that you draw attention to yourself when you have 20 of the same dang toy in your cart - telling someone on your cell phone that you are getting 20 b/c hey only cost .49. Are you serious? Those people who OVER DO IT - are to blame. They alerted the stores far sooner than they needed to be. In other words if we do thing in MODERATION - we can be assured that retailers will remain coupon friendly and mfc will continue to offer coupons for us to use. I am NOT trying to offend or make anyone angry. I've just been doing this long enough to see how things are changing for the worse for ALL of us. Learn who you can share this couponing information with - not everyone has integrity enough to coupon the correct way!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13455491431231105385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90368481587066337.post-79887000852433973972009-11-14T22:57:55.084-06:002009-11-14T22:57:55.084-06:00Wow!! After reading some of these comments, I can...Wow!! After reading some of these comments, I can clearly see that some of you are extremely poor or extremely selfish, and probably the latter. Some of you really stressed out over this toy. After reading that corporate said "no" to combining the coupon with the price matching, I didn't even try. Did that stop you die-hard, "my way or no way" people? No! One of you reported you spent "2.5 hours" to get this thing for 49 cents! Talk about dedication to an unworthy cause! I'm sure by that point it was all about getting your way, not the deal. No doubt some of you will write corporate and tell them how unhappy you are about not being able to fill a pickup truck with 49 cent worms that teach the alphabet. For those of you who do, please make sure to let them have it. Hold absolutely nothing back. The rest of us who don't wet ourselves in anticipation of the next deal will appreiciate the latest rounds of restrictions due in part to you. Did you really need multiples of these toys? Really? It's you people that have 537 tubes of toothpaste, 281 bottles of lotion, and huge tubs of other stuff that you won't donate or ever use for that matter, just sitting in your homes. You go to sleep at night, feeling safe and secure in knowing you have so much stored away "just in case". If you were one of the ones who argued enough and got your 4, 8, 10 alphabet worms, CONGRATULATIONS!!! I know you'll sleep well tonight, knowing they are safely packed away. Hold tight to them, b/c "you just never know" and "just in case".<br /><br />Racquel at November 13 1:41pm and the comment left above hers make great points.

Ya well it didn't work. The store's manager stated that Target will not honor Door Buster Ads since they're only for a short period of time. So I did go ahead and purchase the Alphabet Pal anyways but I also made copies of my receipt, the Toys'R'Us ad, and a copy of the email from their corp. office guest relations representative and sent Target an email requesting a $10 gift card in return for their very unclear policy. If they state that they honor/will price match any ads then why should they exclude any Door Buster ads?

Cashiers were friendly and looked forward to people saving money with coupons. Now look at our economy. People are struggling to make ends meet and lots of those people have found ways to cut corners and save money using coupons. The retail industry never expected there to be so many people 'actually' using coupons and using them strategically rather than aimlessly. While I support websites like Hip2save and southernsavers, I have to wonder if offering these secrets for getting things for next to nothing is the best idea. To clarify, I wonder if sites like this one should require people to pay a small fee to learn this information - that way the amount of people with access to these deals would be limited to those who were dedicated enough to pay for the information. This is in no way a selfish suggestion. I have just noticed that most of these blogs did not exist before 2 years ago.

I already had lots to do today and I managed to get over to Toys R Us to get the ad and then get over to the first Target before 1pm when they sale ended at Toys R Us. Ok so - the first Target did not have the toy, so they called the nearest Target that did have it in stock. They actually had 7 in stock. I went to get a friend of mine to go with me and we headed on over to that Target. We shopped for other things and checked out and then went to the service desk to get the price matching for the leapfrog alphabet pal. Immediately they shut us down and told us they DO NOT accept price matching for doorbuster sales. I showed the Floor Manager their own Target Price matching policy I'd printed from Target.com and she said well we have another policy I can get for you in the back. When she returned with it - it was only an email she received from her regional manager when they realized so many people were getting this item for only $.49. So of course she tried to justify her turning down her own company's policy by using an email that NONE of us consumers even knew about or had access to. Of course I could not get a copy, but it did mention that door busters sales pricing would not be matched from other stores- no exceptions! I thin asked her why were they the ONLY store not accepting the matching when it's obvious others in our area did since their location was the only one with any in stock... hmmm. . . I just walked out and made a note of her name and decided to write the corp office tomorrow when I have time to collect my thoughts tactfully. Was this wrong of Target to change their policy and refuse their own price matching b/c of an email? I'm not sure how to feel about this since this is not the first time I've had trouble in a Target store.

I made sure I was there within the TRU doorbuster hours, in case they brought that up, but they didn't. Never even mentioned it. <br />For those concerned with how many toys people are buying at once, I don't get it. I got one for our son, one for my godson & one for my nephew.

A manager was called and at the very bottom of the Toys R Us add it states "Quantities Limited" and limited quantities is included as an exclusion on the Target policy. I was polite and so were the Target staff until a mouthy little standby had to pipe in "You couldn't have used the coupons anyway so no matter how you try it wasn't going to work." I calmly answered I have an email from their corporate that states they DO accept coupons on price matching and she was wrong. No more comments from her!

But in the end, I got one & it's going to Toys for Tots (my 5 year old is clearly too old for this toy). I really stood firm only because of their attitude & the simple fact that they don't state on their website or any signage in stores that PMing doorbusters is an exclusion.<br /><br />If Target has a policy & fails to let the public know about it, that's false advertising plain & simple.
