I don't see any reason why the $8 off would not work for the Target exclusive. I think this was brought up earlier, and the coupon isn't specific to restrict against exclusives like that.
As for Toys'r'us, no you can not take advantage of the TS3 preorder while buying TS3. If you're pre-ordering it, you can't be buying it at the same time. You need to do it before it's released. So it would work with another DVD/blu-ray (if there's another you want before Tuesday) but not with TS3
My local newspaper isn't in yet (I wake up way too early sometimes I think...) but looking online it looks like TRU doesn't have a weekly circular ad this week, just the Big Book of Toys ad. Maybe there isn't one? In which case TS3 Blu-ray/DVD would be the $34.99 price with the free clock, but keeping in mind you can get the free clock and the $10 giftcard for a future purchase if you're buying two movies (we're picking up Mater, so I know we'll get the gc for that). So right now I'm thinking if I go with TRU is $35-$5 preorder = $30 - $8 coupon = $22 - $5 campbell's rebate = $17 - $10 future purchase = $7 (plus taxes) with the free clock real cost, but $22 upfront. Of course that's thinking that I'm paying full price for Mater. I think I may go this route and then let the Elf on the Shelf bring the clock for our little ones later on in the year.
You can apply the $8 coupon to a pre-order at TRU?
How do you get the $5 Campbell's rebate?
Thanks!
