Scrubbing Bubbles deal at Target: price matching, $5 gift card, and coupons yield a $2 per purchase moneymaker

Have you gotten your free Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic No-Touch Toilet Bowl Cleaner kit yet from Walmart?  If you haven't, hold the phone.  You can score an even better deal at Target with some price matching.  Target has an unadvertised deal: when you purchase the Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic No-Touch Toilet Bowl Cleaner kit (priced at $9.99) along with the Refill for this kit (priced at $3.99), Target will give you a $5 Target gift card. There is no limit on the number of gift cards you can score.  I bought five kits and five refills.  The Target total price was $70.  My actual out of pocket was $15.  I received $25 in Target gift cards, so I ended up making $10 or $2 per kit/refill.  It was a combination of 1) price matching to the Walmart sale price 2) the $5 Target gift card and 3) lots of coupons.  Here's how I did it:

1. Get hold of the Walmart circular that has the Scrubbing Bubbles kit advertised for $3.97.  Target requires that you bring in the entire circular to their service desk.  I tried bringing up the circular on my phone, but Target required the paper version (very un-green of them but okay).
2. Gather up your coupons:  $4/1 coupon for the Scrubbing Bubbles kit that you can request here on Right at Home (print it twice via your back button), $4/1  Scrubbing Bubbles kit from the 9/11/11 Smart Source insert, $3/1 coupon for the Scrubbing Bubbles kit from Right at Home (print twice), $2/1 Scrubbing Bubbles One Step Toilet Bowl Cleaner Refills Target coupon (print twice), $2 /2 Scrubbing Bubbles One Step Toilet Bowl Cleaner Refills coupon (print twice), $1/1 Scrubbing Bubbles One Step Toilet Bowl Cleaner Refills coupon on Coupons.com (no longer available).  This will give you a total of $25 in coupons.
3. Price match five Scrubbing Bubbles Automatic No Touch Toilet Bowl Cleaner kits at Target for the Walmart price of $3.97 each = $19.85. With your coupons, you will spend $1.85 out-of-pocket.
4. Also buy five Scrubbing Bubbles One Step Toilet Bowl Cleaner Refills at $3.99 each = $19.95  With your coupons, you will spend a total of $12.95 out-of-pocket.
5. So you will spend a total of $14.80 out of pocket. (If you use your Target Red Card, you will get a 5% discount and pay $14.06.) But you will receive five $5 Target gift cards = $25.  So this will be $10.20 moneymaker on ten items that were originally priced at $70.  Fantastic deal.
