Target sunscreen deal

Now that we're finally starting to get some sun, I've been keeping my eyes open for sales on sunscreen.  Today I bought 2 Banana Boat Kids sunscreens at Target for $7.44 each.  Target is running a deal where you get a $5 gift card when you buy 2 select Banana Boat or Hawaiian Tropic products.  I had 2 $1 off Banana Boat Kids printable Target coupons and I found 2 sunscreens on the shelf with $1 off manufacturer peelie coupons on them, making each one $5.44.  And, because I bought 2 of them I earned a $5 Target gift card on top of that! 

I've read online about several people getting better deals by buying a sunscreen and a second cheaper product like a lip balm so they have a lower out-of-pocket cost, but there seems to be inconsistencies among different Targets whether or not the deal is prompting the free gift card with cheaper products.  I have also read several unfavorable online reviews of the lip balm, so I decided to buy products I know I like and will use. Because really, it's not saving me any money if I don't use it!

I also bought Coppertone Kids sunscreen.  There is a printable $1 Target coupon and I had printed a $1 manufacturer coupon a week or so ago from coupons.com.  Total cost ended up being $5.99.
