Free SoBe Life Water at Target again

Just wanted to make to quick post about the Free SoBe Life Water at Target this week. They are on sale for $1. For every ten bottles that you buy you get a $5 gift card. There are $.50/1 MF out there so if you buy in sets of 10 with ten coupons they will be free after the giftcard.

I've found these coupons at both Holiday gas stations and at Kwik Trip gas stations. They are right on the door of the drink fridges.
