Target Deals

Today was my first day in 21 years not to go back to school....it was very strange.  Today feels like the start of a new "year" but now I'm like the rest of the world and that doesn't really apply.  I didn't have to work today so I just felt weird not really having a lot to do.  I did have plans to have lunch with an old friend and I did my weekly Target shopping.  It was just an odd day and an odd feeling today.  I sure did miss my Hancock friends and was praying for them today.  Looks like everyone had a great first day of school so I'm glad :)

I went to Target today armed with my coupons again.  I didn't get as much but still saved over 50% which ROCKS! I got a few things super cheap and some even free.  Here's my goodies from today:

I got two of these little first aid kits, one to go in each of our cars.  They were normally $1.09 each which is pretty cheap but after coupons, I got them for $.34 each! Yay!

I don't know why these are sideways but they were FREE! They were only $.97 and then I had a $1 off coupon for each so I actually made $.09 on them...you can't pass up free!

I wanted to add another picture of Clorox wipes that I got but it's upside down. I got a three pack of wipes for $1.05 each.  I love playing the grocery game! Stay tuned to see what I get next week!

Stealing is good!

I feel like I've stolen from Target today! Haha! I found this website Totally Target, it gives you all the best deals going on at Target right now. They match up the sale prices with coupons from the newspaper and Target online. I didn't even know Target HAD coupons that you could print from their website! The totally target website also shows you what has been reduced in price recently and which coupons to use to get the best price possible. I got home from work and spent maybe an hour looking at the sales and sorting through my coupons. They were already cut. I ended up saving $46 so I basically made $46/hr on looking through coupons. Like I said....I just found this website TODAY and went to buy all this stuff after looking through the blog and coupons for maybe an hour. This is what I got:

The original total was $91.48 before all the coupons. I used 21 coupons from Target's website and the newspaper. After 21 coupons, my total went down to $45.63! I saved $45.85 in coupons!! It was really strange, it felt like an adrenaline rush when the lady rang up the items and then I watched as the price was cut in half! I was so excited when I was cutting out my coupons. I think this is the best deal I got...

I found this deal in a blog on the Totally Target site. These four scrubbing bubbles items were originally $16.96. I had three coupons, two of which were buy one item get one free. So after 3 coupons, I paid $5.98 for all of this!! Here's a break down of how I did that:
Buy 2 Scrubbing Bubbles Toilet Cleaning Gel ($3.49 each) and also buy 1 Scrubbing Bubbles Fresh Brush Starter Kit ($6.49) & 1 Fresh Brush Refill ($3.49) =$16.96
- $1 coupon (from Target website) when you buy 2 Toilet Cleaning Gels

- $6.49, use B1G1: FREE SB Fresh Brush Product When you buy Toilet Cleaning Gel (newspaper coupon)

- $3.49, use B1G1: FREE SB Fresh Brush Product when you buy Toiley Cleaning Gel (newspaper coupon)

= $5.98 for all 4 products after coupons or $1.49 each

So I've learned that the trick to using all these coupons is that you have to get multiple newspapers in order for this work. You need about 2 or 3 of the same coupon sometimes. The great thing about Target is that they will let you use a Target coupon and a manufacturer's coupon from the paper on the same item. I actually used 2 manufacturer coupons on the Kleenex and they took it, so I had three coupons for one product. I've been buying the Sunday paper and then my parents have been nice enough to give me the coupons from their paper as well. I'm really enjoying saving all this money. It's not gonna make up for the income difference between this year and last year but every little bit helps! And it's so much fun seeing the total go down!!
