If you are still using spray sunscreens: Target's Up & Up 3-packs are part of summer clearance. The store I just went to at lunch was at 90% off, so the 3-packs were scanning for $1.39 each. The pack says they are similar to Coppertone Kids, which is what we use. The packs are unmarked and they are sitting on an endcap back near seasonal with other multipack brands. Both the Up & Up Kids (blue) and the regular (orange) were scanning on clearance. I told a woman shopping near me and she just about cleared the shelf. LOL

Thanks goes to Totally Target for alerting me. Hope it helps someone!

Oh wow! I could totally use this deal. We're still hesitantly using spray sunscreen, though I prefer lotion. We go through a LOT though here in south Florida.

Yeah, I start with a base of Banana Boat lotion on DS before we leave for the pool. But once we've been at the pool awhile and he's all amped up playing, it's hard to get him to sit still for more lotion. The spray is just easier then.

Is the Up & Up brand spray the same as the "good" banana boat spray?

I thought the good banana boat was only lotion.

No, it's based on Coppertone, which is bad. LOL

So Coppertone is not a good spray for kids?

I use it, but it doesn't rate well on a lot of the "safe" lists. It's a chemical sunscreen and many people on this board use physical sunblock. I was just passing the deal on to any folks who don't mind sprays.

They are 70% off at my closest Target store, so I got the three pack for $4.19, which is still a great price.

Thanks, I will have to check that out, but I haven't seen them in general for less than $5 a can, but that wasn't until December. Sunscreen is a hot seller around here almost all year round.

Bummer, I found nothing at my Target. They had single cans for $6, no deal on double packs, and no 3 packs at all.

Same here, at three different Targets.

It is the height of tourist season in the beach town that we are in right now. I didn't think there was any way these would be on sale yet. Although they were marked B3G1 free @ 13.99 a pack, they scanned $1.39 AND B3G1! So they ended up $1.04!! Needless to say, we stocked up. Thanks OP!

Awesome! I was kicking myself. I didn't realize they were buy three get one free until I was looking on slick deals last night. And of course, I only bought three yesterday afternoon. Lol

Found one set of 3 this morning (on sale). I picked up trial sizes of the sunscreens which are B3G1. I love those for my bag, the kids camp bags, etc.

Thanks so much!!!

Couldn't get to Target til early this evening. Bought 18 cans for about $7. (Six three packs. Five at $1.39 and one free with the 'buy 3 get one free'.) Tried one other Target which had none. May run back in the morning to the one right by our house to see if they happen to restock overnight. It's good til 2017 and we go through an absurd amount of sunscreen here.

No luck at the Encinitas, CA Target. They had 2 packs that rang up for $9.99 but no 3 packs. Boo!

Checked my other Target, and no three packs there either. I give up!

Went back this morning. No more 30, but got four packs of 15 which we use at times.
