Extreme Couponing.........Gamer Edition!

Post by Frag Mortuus »

So, my wife found these Fisher Price coupons that gave $10 off of a FP toy. If you bought a $2 toy and used the $10 off coupon, it netted you $8 in store credit. You could use 5 coupons per transaction, so you could net $40 in store credit per transaction. Here is the best part: You can copy the coupon and reuse it. We had about 100 of these coupons.

SOOOOO.... last night we go to Wal-Mart literally fill the cart with every cheap Fisher Price toy we can find and go to town. We bought my sister and mom birtday gift, bought the kids a bunch of stuff for Christmas, bought some baby shower gifts for my sister, bought a few blurays, then the best part. I bought the Uncharted Dual Pack, LoZ OoT3D, and New Super Mario Bros Wii.....all for free.

We still have a bunch of these coupons and plan to hit up the Wal-Mart over in the next town today. Now, before anyone thinks we are doing something illegal, we aren't. Wal-Mart gets reimbursed for every coupon redeemed by FP. We are using the coupon within the limit that FP set. This is the same way those extreme couponers on TV get all of their free stuff.

Here is the another cool part, that buggy full of $2 and $3 toys can get returned for store credit. We have over $300 worth of cars, bath toys, and various other crap.

At the bottom of the page there are three links. I used the email thing referral and input my other email address. It will send you an email with a link to print the coupons. Make sure to do it for all three links. The email will let you print each coupon twice netting you 6 coupons, however, you can photocopy the coupon and it will continue to work. So, you really have unlimited coupons.

One last thing. The newer coupons that you will receive will say that the discount is on a minimum $25 purchase, however my mom used hers the same way we used ours. So, the coupons says $25 minimum purchase, but you don't really have a minimum. Lastly, if you use the self checkout at the store, thing tend to go smoother.

Can you still net store credit while using self-checkout?

Yes. Thats how we did it.

Just make sure you only use 5 coupons per transaction. So, ring up 5 toys, then something that you want, then 5 coupons. If your toys are $3 each you will "owe" $15, then ring up a $30 item, you now "owe" $45, then scan 5 coupons, after tax, you will actually end up getting a couple dollars in cash back. This happened a few times with us last night. The best thing is to try to plan your credit and get something that is going to go just barely over what credit you get. So, if you get $35 in credit, buy something or a couple things that will take all of that up. You can only get like $2 cash back before a manager has to approve it.

So when I went to email myself the coupon I noticed that it said that it can be used for any of the 4 toys shown. Can it indeed be used for any toy in made by FP? Also, which coupon did you send youself since I will be going to walmart as well and they will likely have the same toys.
I am buying all Saturn games, PM me with your offerings and I will let you know if I need the game or not! (Everything must be CIB)

Currently trying to knock off all the sports games, would like to get them <$5 each! Of course if you would like to donate them I will gladly pay the shipping! :)

^Same question. I have some kiddie relatives, and if I can get the toys plus extras for freebies, I'm all in.

So it doesn't have to be the toy it says on the coupon?

I printed the little people coupon and bought little people toys for 3.47 and did the 5 allowed for 30 odd bucks credit. Then I just made sure I went over so I didnt have to deal with cash back. I got Robotech Complete, 20 dollar psn card, movies and a tv show. the wife got a bunch of girly things and oh yeah, a ninja turtle LOL.

I gave one of the toys to a kid on the way out of the store and gonna give out the rest for good karma points.
