Love your blog. I just got back from Target, NJ. Rice Krispies treats original or Strawberries (8 count) is also included in the deal and its only $1.75/box if you buy 4 you also get $5.00 gift card. That makes it 50 cents/box. Although, when I checked out the register didnt automatically prompt the $5 gift card, so the cashier called the manager so she just adjusted it down to $2.00 but it's part of the deal she says. Happy Shopping! Hi Mercedes,

The coupon I got from for the Special K bars was $1.00 off 2 boxes. That would make it $9.56 - $2 = $7.56 gb $5 GC. I have a $5 GC already, so I will only have to $2.56 for 4 boxes, then get back the $5 GC. Val: yes, you will get 2 $5 gift cards. The way the Target deals work, after they scan the number of items to get the deal, the register automatically acts as though you are buying a $5 gift card, so the cashier charges a card for $5, then it deducts the $5 off the total of your bill. The best way to capitalize on this is to do two separate transactions, using the first $5 GC to pay for the second order of 4 boxes. You will pay less for the second order and still have a $5 gift card. ~The beauty of rolling your gift card! Thanks for this info. The coupon I got from for the Special K bars was $1.00 off 2 boxes.
