Tag Books $2.50 - $5.50 each!

Got this for Abe for his birthday and Jude is getting one for his birthday.  I bought the books for $6 each ($9.99 with a s $4 coupon) but this is a better deal!  They are buy one get one free at Target and you can use the $5 coupon in the link below or there are tons of $3 coupons on EBay most of them are 5 coupons for the cost of one ($3 or less with shipping).  Get you coupons this week so your can buy early and they will more than likely not be available to print once the sale is up and running.

Target is going to have LeapFrog Tag Books on sale Buy One, Get One Free beginning Sunday, November 21, 2010. Select titles will be marked at just $9.99, so you should be able to get two books for $9.99.

Print two $5/1 manufacturer’s coupons (you’ll need to watch the video first and then enter the sweepstakes to be able to print your coupon) and, depending upon your store’s policy, you might be able to use both coupons and get two books for free. If not, you’ll at least be able to use one $5/1 coupon and get two books for just $2.50 each.

I’d suggest going ahead and printing your coupons now since there’s a possibility they won’t be available by Sunday when the sale starts.
