We love this time of year because our family’s favorite fruit is in season! We love, love, love Cuties! If you do not ration our children, we will literally go through a box every two days. Our budget increases slightly to accommodate our Cutie addiction 😉
This week, Target has the Cuties clementines for $4.99 for a 5-lb box. This is a great price on this product! PLUS – use .75/1 Smart Source 12/4 and then get these for only $4.24! As these normally sell for $6.99 – $7.99, this is a really good price for Cuties clementines!
One caveat for our family – the Cuties that our Target sells are bitter. This was the case last year on three separate occassions. We purchased one this year to see if it was just a fluke last year and again same thing. We actually could not eat them and returned them to get our money back. But Walmart and our local Kroger (Smiths) has that great sweet awesome taste that we love in the ones that they sell. We personally will not buy them from Target for this reason. We do not understand why every batch we have purchased from Target the last two years are very bitter – it really doesn’t make any sense as you’d think the distribution would hit each of the stores (unless Target uses a different distributor?!?!). Now this is just our local Target, so we are not saying that this is the case for all of them!
Target is also the store that will have awesome sales on them – so to rectify the situation from the great deal at Target but refusing to buy them at ours for the horrible bitter taste, we just price match at Walmart!
