  1. I tried getting the deal on Shick Quattro razors – but CVS wouldn’t accept the $4 off coupon! It had a Target logo on it and said I could only use it there. I was really looking forward to my $2 razors!

  2. Stephanie – Where did you get your coupons? I just checked in my 8/23 Smart Source and there’s no Target logo on it anywhere. On yours, does it specifically say that it can only be used at Target? Is it a manufacturer coupon or store coupon?

  3. I got it from one of the inserts in the Sunday paper. I think it was last week? Or the week prior? It has a little Target logo in the center but doesn’t say anything about only being used at Target. I’m assuming if it has the logo on it then it’s a store coupon, not a manufacturer coupon?

    Well, at least the razors were BOGO. Still a very good deal, although I completely forgot to use all my ECB’s! Doh!!

  4. Stephanie – That’s really weird. Maybe it’s a regional thing because I just double-checked mine and there’s no Target logo on mine. I also looked in the comments on a few other blogs’ Walgreens posts and no one else said anything about it. If you still want to try the deal, you could go back and hope it’s a different cashier. If they give you a hard time too, tell them that it doesn’t say that it can only be used at Target and ask them if they would try scanning it anyway. If it’s a Target coupon, I don’t think it will scan (I could be wrong, though…I’ve never run into this situation).
