So I couldn’t wait to get over to TRU and check out this deal. The free board game is ringing up $0.00 so you have to find a filler (at least 3.03) to make this work with the $5/$25. Also I could not find any of the $4.99 games, but did find a travel Guess Who game that worked with the MQ. Here is what I did:
Bought (1) Sorry and (2) Monopoly Games
$7.99 + $7.99 + $0
Bought Travel Guess Who
$5.99
$3.99 filler
Total= $25.96
Used:
$5/$25 TRU Printable (give this coupon before all the others)
$4 Hasbro Printable Guess Who
(2) $4 Hasbro Monopoly, Life, Sorry, Clue (NO LONGER AVAILABLE)
$4 Hasbro games MQ from Parade Magazine- Sorry/Monopoly
Final total (before tax)= $4.96 for all 5 items!
But when I got home I thought of an even better deal!
Buy (3) Sorry and/or Monopoly Games
$7.99 + $7.99 + $0
Buy (3) Travel Guess Who
$5.99 + $5.00 + $0
Total= $27.96
Use:
$5/$25 TRU Printable (give this coupon before all the others)
(2) $4 Hasbro Printable Guess Who
(2) $4 Hasbro Monopoly, Life, Sorry, Clue (IE)(NO LONGER AVAILABLE)
$4 Hasbro games MQ from Parade Magazine- Monopoly/Sorry
$4 Hasbro games MQ from Parade Magazine- Guess Who
Final total (before tax)= Free plus $1.04 overage for all 6 items!
The tax should be a little more than the overage, so I think this should work. If you try this secenario, PLEASE, let us know if it worked. I plan on giving 2 of these to my own kids at Chirtmas and saving the others for Toys for Tots or Adopt a Family gifts. I love when I can score a major deal and give generously at the same time!

Hey there. Thanks so much for this scenario. This is what I was able to get this morning:
(3) Monopoly
$7.99 + $7.99 + $0.00
(3) Guess Who Travels
$5.99 + $5.99 + $0.00
Used $5/$25
Used (2) $4 Monopoly/etc. printables
Used (2) $4 Guess Who/etc. printables
Used (1) $4 Monopoly/etc. Parade magazine
Used (1) $4 Guess Who/etc. Parade magazine
Paid $0.00 + tax
Though, I did notice that it did NOT give overage. What it did was increased my items in conjunction with the $5/$25 Toys R Us coupon to actually equal $3.96/$25. I'm pretty sure (after the fact) that if I would have added the little $1.00 filler item I had on stand-by (just in case the register wouldn't allow my last $4 coupon), I'm betting I would have been able to get it for free and still have had a subtotal of $0.00 + tax. But an awesome deal none the less!!! Thanks so much.

Doen't it feel great to get such an awesome deal?! I might go back later this week and try getting some Tag jr. books with the Guess Who games. B-day gifts: check, Christams gifts: check, Toys for Tots: check! Love it!

BTW- I think you are right (for anyone else wanting to try this). Getting a $1 item would probably make up for the overage and then you would just pay tax!

I can't get the link to work for $4 Hasbro Monopoly, Life, Sorry, Clue. Am I doing some thing wrong?

S$4 Hasbro Monopoly, Life, Sorry, Clue. This is what it says: I guess print limit has been reached.
Sorry! You have already printed
this coupon the number of times allowed.
You may close this window.

Sorry, All. Looks like the Mononpoly, Sorry printable is dead now. But you can still print the Guess Who printable (also includes Connect 4 and Pictureka).

I went to TRU this morning and the monopoly and sorry games were 11.99/15.99 I didn't see any games for 7.99.

Yeah the games are either regionally priced at $7.99 or the sale is over.

i looked online and am about to call our store becuase I found very little for $7.99 either. My friend in Arizona couldn't even get the 3rd one free!

The sorry and monopoly games were not marked at 7.99 on the shelf at my store either. But I checked them at a scanner to be sure. Did you all get a TRU ad? If so, the ad clearly states that these 2 games are 7.99. You should be able to find an ad in the store too (look on page 3 I think). I also checked the online ad and it is listed at 7.99. I am a rookie TRU shopper so I don't know all their policies, but I would ask for a raincheck for the games if they are out of stock.
Hope that helps! I went back today to do a transaction with Guess Who and Tag jr. So I know the sale should still be running.
