Pretty Great Toy Deals at Smith's Marketplace This Week!

Update:  These Hasbro coupons are wierd ones!  If you read the fine print, they state that they may not be used with other promotions or on rainchecks.  I've never seen a coupon limit use with an in-store sale or raincheck, so I'm guessing I'm not quite understanding the intention on these.  They do expire early next week, so not a lot of time to use them, but it might be worth getting a raincheck to see if any come in by Monday.
If you're ready to get a head-start on holiday shopping, now might be a great time!  Smith's Marketplace is having a BOGO sale on several lines of toys this week, including My Little Pony and Strawberry Shortcake.  Several items from these lines match up well with the Hasbro toy coupons in the 9/26 Smart Source insert.  Here are a few:
My Little Pony Remote Control Plane ($24.99 on Amazon)
Strawberry Shortcake Sweet Styles ($22.71 on Amazon)

I priced these at the West Jordan store, and they are both $22.99 plus buy one, get one free.  Here's a deal scenario:
Buy 2 My Little Pony Remote Control Plane at $22.99
Subtract $22.99 for BOGO
Use two $5/1 coupons from 9/26 SS
Total:  $12.99 + tax (or $6.50 each)

*Whether your cashier will allow a coupon on the free item is anyone's guess.  Mine did, since the store makes more money by allowing me to use two coupons.
*One more thing--make sure to call the store first on stock.  There were only two "My Little Pony" planes at the West Jordan store--everything else was gone.  The employee in the toy department said they are expecting a shipment on Thursday.

There are quite a few toys on sale that match up with the coupon booklet, so check it out and share what deals you come up with!
