Before I get into why Target is such a wonderful place to shop (at least for me) I want to say a big THANK YOU to Coupons & Things by Dede. Without your super fast service I would never have been able to take advantage of this wonderful Target deal! I placed my order on Wednesday figuring it would still be cheap ice cream either way. My order arrived today; just in time for the $5 gift card when you buy 5 Edy’s ice cream (and select others) at Target. And a big THANK YOU to Jamie at IAmAMoneyMagnet.com. It was Jamie’s post that brought this deal to my attention. See how important these wonderful blogs are!
I have never had a problem with Target honoring my coupons (IPs, Target printables, number per transaction, etc.). Last week when I had a bazillion coupons my cashier was super sweet even though her line was ever-growing. Today my cashier did not hesitate or grumble when I noticed two of my MQs did not come off my total. I was refunded the $2 in cash (I offered my gift card since I paid with it).

I must say, to stay on budget do NOT bring your kids. Last time it was a hair straightener for Megan. This time Amanda needed a belt. Not a problem, but it does not make my total as pretty as I would like. If you remove the belt, then I only paid $5.08 (should have been $4.56) plus received a $5 GC. Not too shabby either way for what I purchased!
DH says we may need to invest in a secondhand refrigerator (needed for all the eggs we are getting) AND another upright freezer. One thing is for certain, we are not going to starve any time soon, or lack for dessert!
