Littlest Pet Shop Free At Toys R Us?
May 25, 2010
Susie emailed to let me know that The Littlest Pet shop toys are on sale buy one get one at Toys R Us right now. Use the B1G1 coupon HERE on Coupons.com to score two for FREE. Be aware that not all stores allow this! It is a good match as the store covers the cost of one item and the coupon covers the second!!
I just did a quick scan of the ad and did not see the deal listed so you might call you store first…but hey, I have boys so I am not used to these toys– I could have overlooked it
Thanks Susie!
