Shopping Trip - Target

This was a shopping trip from last week that i never got around to sharing, but the deals are all still good (if you happen to have any of the same coupons).

One Touch Ultra Mini Meters x 2 -

• Original Price 19.99....Sale Price 9.99
• I used two manufacturers coupons each for 10.00 off one making them both FREE plus .01 cents overage on each one

Banana Boat Travel Size sunscreen -

• Priced at .97 cents
• I had a Target coupon for 1.00 off any banana boat sunscreen (no size restrictions) so this was FREE!

Coppertone Water Babies Travel Sized Sunscreen -

• Priced at .97 cents
• I had a Target coupon for 1.00 off any coppertone suncreen (no size restriction) so this was FREE!

Johnson & Johnson Travel Size First Aid Kit -

• Priced at 1.02
• I used one manufaturers coupon good for 1.00 off any johnson and johnson first aid product so this was .02 cents!

Calidad tortilla Chips -

• Original price was 1.89...sale price was 1.50
• I had a manufactuers coupon (the kind that print at the register) for 1.00 off these chips so they were only .50 cents!

Merona Women's Shirt -

• Original price was 12.99....clearance was 4.48
• I had one Target coupon for 3.00 off any Merona apparel item so this shirt was only 1.48 cents!

Aquafresh Extreme Clean Travel Sized Toothpaste -

• priced at .97 cents
• I had a target coupon for 1.50 off any aquash extreme clean (no size restriction).  normally target coupons automatically adjust down if the purchase price is less than the coupon, but for some reason this coupon beeped and the cashier had to manullay enter it and he took off the full 1.50 so this toothpaste was FREE plus .53 cents overage.  (*note that normally you will never get any kind of overage off target coupons)

So my grand total for everything picture was a whopping 1.45 cents plus tax!

Plus I have a Target Red Card so I get an additional 5% off all my Target purchases which makes all my couponing there just a tad bit sweeter. :)

Shopping Trips

I wanted to share a few of my shopping trips from yesterday.

First I went to Target.

Uncle Ben's Microwave Brown Rice Cups-

• Price 1.02 minus TWO coupons for 1.00 off any Uncle Ben's Brown Rice (no size restriction on coupon).  Made each cup of rice just .02 cents!

Revlon Lash Liner -

Aleve 200 count -

• Priced at 13.99 minus a free product coupon made this FREE

Method Laundry Detergent (8 load bottles)-

• Pried at 2.99 each, then on clearance for 2.54 each.  I had two coupons for 2.00 off any method laundry (from their facebook page, no size restriction on coupon).  Made each bottle just .54 cents!

I also snagged this Liz Lange maternity shirt on clearance for 2.98  I then used a coupon on my Shopkick app for 3.00 off any Liz Lange maternity item at target making this shirt FREE! 

Later I went to Vons.



Three 2-liters of soda -

• Regular price 1.99....sale price .99....price if you're a member of their new just for u program just .59 cents each!  (limit of 3 per transaction valid until May 8th)  This is a great price for soda if you drink it, and it is my weakness.

Two Open Nature Plain Greek Yogurt -

One Mango -

Later when I got home I finished putting away all my stuff and went to check the mail and found this full size bottle of Asprin in my mail.  I love getting full size products for free in the mail!

Overall, a great day for coupons!  I even got a high five from the cashier at Target when I paid (which sort of made me laugh and feel like I was on extreme couponers).  sure not every day has such great scores, but this is a perfect example of why I love coupons.  Using them for certain things (especially toiletriesand cleaners) frees up more money for things there aren't coupons fo like fresh produce.

Couponing - Deals at Target and Chick Fil A

So couponing hasn't been its most profitiable lately but I made a tiny score at Target yesterday.  Not my best ever but definitely a great deal.

• The Peak tea were each on sale for 1.02 and I had two coupons for 1.00 off each making each one just .02 cents plus CRV.

• The NYC nail polish was .97 cents and I had a Target printable coupon for 1.00 off any NYC product so I actually got paid .03 cents to take the nail polish.  I love those kinds of deals!
• The Ortega green sauce was 1.84 on clearance for 1.25 and I had 1.00 off any Ortega item so it was only .25 cents.

Now you add in the fact that I paid with my Target Red Card which gets me an additional 5% off everything I buy there and my grand total for everything with tax was only 3.82...what a deal!


And now on to my next coupon deal alert.  For those of you with a Chick-Fil-A near by you absolutely MUST pick up the new 2012 Cow Calendar.

The calendar includes the following coupons…

The calendar cost only 6.00 but includes over 35.00 in free food coupons.  It more than pays for itself and the calendar is pretty cute too.  Definitely something you don't want to miss because in years past thy have sold out of calendars before the new year.

Deal Alert - Free Photos at Target

I love Target.  I admit it, I'm addict to Target Shopping.

After this deal, you just may be too.

Target's photos usually run .25 cents a piece (a little steep but the quality and color is fantastic).  However this week the prints are on sale for only .10 cents each!  That's cheaper than warehouse stores like Costco.

But wait...it gets better.  For those of you who don't know, Target has printable coupons.   They change often and sometimes have some great deals.  Like this week.  There is a coupon good for $ 2.00 off twenty photos.  This means that you can get twenty prints for absolutely nothing! (Just make sure you take advantage of this deal before the new ad comes out because the prints will probably go up in price on Sunday).

Also note that you can print two copies of this coupon off the website, so be sure to take a friend with you and you can get 40 prints for free!
