What the fact-checkers found
Email forward claims that attached $5 off Target coupons can be printed and continually used until October 2008.
Subject: Re: $5 Target Coupons I just got this email and haven’t tried them yet but who doesn’t spend $25 a trip at Target between now and October. Even if you just buy paper products and house hold stuff.
A friend of mine forwarded this to me. So I thought I’d share too.
To all of you Target lovers out there,
Attached are Target coupons that can be printed and used as many times as you’d like up until October. A friend of mine passed this on to me just last night. I didn’t want to forward this on until she said she had checked it out, and sure enough, they work!
She said ‘I was already planning to go to Target today and I saved $20 at the register! The cashier let me ring up 4 separate transactions and use a coupon each time. I passed out the other 4 coupons I had with me to other shoppers since I could go home and print more. Please pass this on to anyone else!’
