BridgeIU Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 What's so important about having the actual toy book in hard copy form when you can #1, look at it online and #2, print the coupons online too? Personally, I think this is great way for Target to save an money and save trees while they are at it.My kids like cutting up the paper to make their Christmas lists for Santa. I'd rather get them from Target than print because it looks better.

Personally, I think this is great way for Target to save an money and save trees while they are at it.Not everyone has internet access or they might have dial up where the ad would take FOREVER to load. I know my grandma doesn't have a computer at all but she has 5 great grandkids to buy for so she would need a physical ad. The advent of the internet is great but that doesn't stop people from needing the physical ad as well. There will always be people who don't have a computer or access and will need the printed versions from the stores. I also like having the printed ad so I can schlepp it around and keep it as a reminder of the things I need to go buy. My kids also circle what they want and it helps me. Trees will die whether I print it at home or Target does - frankly I give Target enough of my $$ I would rather they print it and give it to me :)
racerfan Posted November 4, 2008 Posted November 4, 2008 Just to let everyone know I was at DH's cousins house to day and in her mail as the Target Toy Book. Of course I went home hoping I would have on and there was nothing. Gonna call my Sister later to see if she got one today too.
Buckeye Shopper Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Hi all, new here...but been lurking for a while. I was just curious if anyone else was really disappointed with Target's Toy Book this year. Everything that I'm looking for this year is higher. I was just curious about everyone's take on it.
LainieB Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 I haven't got one yet. I hope I get one soon. I have a Target Visa so you'd think they would send me one.
allshoppedout Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 I have not gotten one either, in the paper or in the mail. My son lives for this book.He circles what he wants. Also, I do not have a Target charge but I got one in the mail last year! I use it to carry around and make other stores price match and if memory serves me correctly it had a coupon on the back of it last year--only the one I got through the mail..
Slate Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 My local Target told me the books would be in the store today.

I was just curious about everyone's take on it.i am, alot of the stuff listed is already available at toysrus for the same price or cheaper. a bunch of items i saw where in the toys r us book for cheaper than this book has them.
theboyzmom Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 nothing in my mail either...I'm going to check our Target later today, but the last two years they haven't gotten the book in, so I dunno if they'll have it...
areno79 Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 I got one in yesterday's mail, which is odd because I don't have a Target cc, and I don't have kids.
theboyzmom Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 nothing in today's mail and our Target not only did not have any books, the lady at customer service told me she wished SHE could get one!!! but had no idea how to get one
jenncamreams417 Posted November 5, 2008 Posted November 5, 2008 Target here has toy books out. they also have the games piled up everywhere, such as elefun, hungy hippo, and the basics as always. sa well as cupcake decorator, legos tub sets, and cabbage patch dolls
ellen zachariia Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 I got my toy book at target today. How disapointing. It wasn't a book but just a coupon book.
lkn4brgn Posted November 6, 2008 Posted November 6, 2008 I went in yesterday and they had the book of coupons (not the book, just the coupons). I will put out a heads up too... if you purchase the easy bake oven with the coupon your supposed to get two free mixes. However, on my receipt it only took off one mix. The manager could not answer why and gave me my money back but just watch your receipt.

The manager could not answer why and gave me my money back but just watch your receipt.Was that coupon in the book that you picked up at the store? I know they had one online earlier in the week, but when I went to print it today, so I could get my DH go get the mixes and oven today, it was missing. The mixes were like $4 or $5 each so that was a good deal with the oven being on sale for $19.99.
mamapenguin Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 I got my Target Toy book in the mail yesterday. It was like a toy catalog with coupons.
Scanner420 Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 Wasn't there when I went to bed yesterday, but was when I woke up and my DD circled 2/3'rds of the book. I'll guess that it came yesterday in the mail along with the Kmart TB.
loves30 Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 i got my book yesterday and poseted it in another link not sure where .. but i also said that on the book was a coupon for 5.00 off 50.00.. also when i called my target cc . the recording said to look for the book in this sundays paper. hope that helps u all.

The mixes were like $4 or $5 each so that was a good deal with the oven being on sale for $19.99.yes, it was in the store book. I never could get one online so I waited. The mixes in my store were 5.44. So it was a GREAT deal.
theboyzmom Posted November 7, 2008 Posted November 7, 2008 my friend got her's mailed to her 2 days ago (she brought it for me to see last night) I hope I get one today...I like having the print copy in hand for comparision shopping and for the kids to circle stuff
ellen zachariia Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 I got my book in the mail yesterday but It did not have a $5.00 coupon on it. I did however pick-up the Ben ten Alien Chamber for my DS which the book says is 29.99-10.00= 19.99 but when I scanned the item it scanned the item it was 21.99 so with my 10.00 coupon I got it for 11.99 not bad. You should check your prices because they are lowering alot of toys I was told by a women at the store. Hope this helps
racerfan Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Just got my circulars for tomorrow. The toy book was inside but like the one for TRU there was no coupon for $10.00 off. Now if only the BB and CC came I would be happy.
ajrowe Posted November 8, 2008 Posted November 8, 2008 Finally got mine today in the paper. I noticed that the Sorry Sliders game is cheaper in the regular ad for this week at Target than it is in the Toy book. Doesn't that just crack you up!! Obviously I'm going to get now. It's kinda confusing too because the Toy book is valid now at that price as is the weekly ad for $3 cheaper I think it is. I guess I will have to watch when they ring it up.
BARBinU.P. Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 I didn't see coupons with the online book? Are they somewhere else?
MeliesMom Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 I got my book in the paper today but no coupons for x amount off either. Of course....
