New Target Coupons Print them Fast!

Go here to Target.com's Coupons, click Apparel and print coupons for their apparel fast! There is a $3 off men's Merona shirt, $2 off women's Merona shirt, $3 off Merona purse, $5 off C9 by Champion etc!

At the Target on 173 there are lots of great clearance items and sales to go with these coupons. Women's Merona shirts are on sale for $6 this week making them $4. Merona purses on clearance for $5 making them $2. All the coupons expire on 7/31/2010. Coupons on clothes are a good and rare thing!

As far as other deals at Target this week two things I see worth grabbing are:

Starbucks Coffee! Buy 3 bags at $6.99 each and get a $5 gift card. If you print 3 of the Target Starbucks Naturals Coupons for $1.50 off, after coupons and $5 gift card it is $3.82 a bag.

and . . .
Stride Gum, print the Target BOGO Free coupon and pair it with the Manufacturer BOGO coupon from a recent coupon insert to get both FREE. The price on Stride gum varies by the kind you buy so if you don't have the Manufacturer coupon you could get it for about $.48 a pack.
