Yep, I had the same problem. They wouldn’t honor the sales add from Toys ‘R Us because it was a “weekend doorbuster” sale. They said it had to be a regular sale; they were not allowed to price match anything other than the general sale prices.

I was really frustrated; especially considering so many didn’t have any problem getting the item at the $.49 price! I’m bummed…..

[...] recommend starting with Where To Begin. I’m so sorry that several of you had trouble with the Leapfrog Alphabet Pal deal at Target yesterday. I’ve done a good amount of research on why this happened and I wanted to let you [...]

@EricaW, A printed copy from the web worked for me, but I explained to the clerk we live in a small town and don't get the toys r us ad in the paper. I got 3 of these for presents

At target today.. I had to complain to first the manager on duty.. THEN the general manager. First I was told, they will not price match with a 2-day ad.. it has to be a weekly ad. They said there are on-going board meetings with Target corporate with this topic regarding if they will honor 2-day ad/doorbuster price matching. They would do it for me just this once since they are still not decided upon it yet.

Then when they saw I also had a target coupon they said they cannot price match AND use a target coupon because that would be using more than one promotional code per item which is against the rules as stated on the back of the target coupons. This was when I asked to speak to the general manager.. and I think they just wanted to get rid of me so they ok’ed that transaction after I continued to argue. But.. I got out of there paying .53 total for the toy. WHAT A HASSLE!!!

The Target by me say’s thay they don’t do the price match it hase to be a sell that they are haveing all week. I have a feeling they pulled them from the shelves. I went to two different targets and they were completely out of all of them.

I was also denied the price match. I understand not honoring Door Busters, but they should disclose that information on their website. I called Corporate. I doubt anything will be done. Oh well.

The Fenton, Michigan Target will not honor Toys R Us doorbuster adds.
Their shelf was also empty of the Alphabet Pal even tho they had a $10
coupon. So great for those of you that scored on the good deals!

I just stopped by target on my way home from work and the store I stopped at would not honor the toys r us price because it is a doorbuster price and they do not price match doorbusters.

I went during lunch today, I got my hands on 4! BUT…..

They wouldn’t allow me to use the Target Q’s because they had “WEB” on them. I was told that the Target Web Coupons were only for web purchases. I tried to explain, but alas, it was a no go.

I did call Customer Relations when I got back to the office and I was told that the problem was not with the coupon, it is with the Toys R Us ad. Target apparently does not price match “Doorbusters” and “%” offs.

Oh well, better luck next time, right?

I just got back from Target and they would not honor the Toys R Us ad. They said it had to be full weeklong ad and just not a 2 day special ad.

I just got back from target with two of the toys for $1.16! Awesome! Thanks so much for posting this. I’m so glad I printed out the email from corporate because I think that was the only reason they would do the deal for me. They also did require the full Toys R Us ad.

@Anna, Do you mind forwarding the email to me too? I sent an email to Target this morning, but I'm not sure they will get back to me in time. Thanks

Lauren, I did it in the am, making the case that it would be nuts there later in the day or tomorrow. They agreed, since they wanted the cashiers to practice price matching — so worth a try

By: Lauren

Lauren — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:06:02 +0000

I’m assuming we won’t be able to price match until 3 p.m. since that’s the time listed in the TRU ad. Is that correct?

Can I get a copy of the email too? These will make excellent presents!

PS: I probably could have pushed on the coupons, but I had another $30 worth of coupons, and it wasn’t worth the argument. I still needed them to accept the wipes coupons (they took 7 for 8 wipes — again, a puzzle!) and a bunch of games.
