John Frieda at Target/CVS

Target has a deal this week on John Frieda products that is actually a money maker.  Whenever you buy 3 participating John Frieda products (including Full Repair products!), you’ll get back a $5 Target gift card!  Well, this deal gets even sweeter when you add in the high value $5/1 manufacturer’s coupons that are available in today’s Smart Source inserts (and the one from the Independent thrown in your driveway on Thursday)  and the $3/2 Target coupon that is still available to print!

 IF YOU DONT WANT TO GO TO TARGET, OR DON'T HAVE ENOUGH COUPONS FOR THIS DEAL,  CVS IS OFFERING SOME OF THESE PRODUCTS FOR $5, MAKING THEM FREE AFTER COUPON.  BUT I LOVE THE CHALLENGE OF A MONEY MAKER!

Here’s how you can score one *HOT* deal… (thanks to Hip2Save for these).

Deal Scenario #1:
Buy 3 John Frieda Full Repair Protecting Root Lift Foam $5.99 = $17.97
Use the $3/2 John Frieda Full Repair Target store coupon found here
Plus, use 3 $5/1 John Frieda Full Repair Treatment, Styler or Finisher coupons found in the 6/5 SS
Pay $0.03

Final cost FREE + $5.03 money maker!
If you only got the $2/1 coupon in today’s paper, you can still snag a pretty great deal…

It appears that a LOT of John Frieda products are included in this gift card promotion, including John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shampoo or Conditioner, Select Frizz Ease, and Root Awakening Products and they all start at $4.99!  So even if you didn’t receive the high value $5 coupons in today’s paper or if you prefer to purchase all Root Awakening products (no Target coupon to pair with), you can still get a great deal!  Here’s how…
Deal Scenario #3:
Buy 3 John Frieda Root Awakening Shampoos $4.99 = $14.97
Use 3 $2/1 John Frieda Root Awakening coupons found in the 6/5 SS or found here
Pay $8.97
Get back Free $5 Target Gift Card
Final cost $3.97 for all 3!


Keep in mind that if your store still has the “Invisible Gift Card Glitch“, you need to be sure that your final total when using Manufacturer’s coupons does not drop below $10 or two of your coupons will not deduct the proper amount.  This means that you need to have at least an additional $7.03 in your order (that you won’t be using Manufactuer’s coupon on) to absorb your coupon value.  If you don’t, your first $5/1 coupon will scan at $5 off, your second coupon will scan for $2.97 and your third will scan at $0.00.  Be sure and use your $3/2 Target store coupon LAST as it has no affect on this glitch and will allow your total to drop below the $10.
