Target Savings!

Just wanted to share my Target deal from this morning!!
5 packs of wet wipes, 1 roll of wrapping paper and 1 bag of dog treats.
The wet ones were regularly 1.54 each, I had a 1.00 coupon for each pack, making them .54 each! The wrapping paper was 1.00 from the dollar spot, and the dog treats were 3.99, I paid .99 because I had a 2.00 Target coupon, and a 1.00 coupon from the paper!
I paid 5.18 for it all!

Weekly Grocery Trip #1 Target

Ok, so I hope your not tired of seeing pictures of my groceries yet! But I am so proud when I get a good deal! As mentioned in my previous post, I went to Target this morning. Here is a breakdown of what I got. Im also going to tell you how you can start saving too!

First lets start with the household stuff.

This is what I got: Dish detergent, Quatro razor, Intution razor, Bounce Dryer Bar, Tide Stain Release. I paid $14.20, without coupons, it would have been $27.95.

Next are some food items: I got Honey Nut Cheerios, Lucky Charms, 3 Hamburger Helpers, 1 box Special K bars. Regular Pirce for these 6 items is $12.03, I paid $6.50!!!


Next are the dog items: We found a new home for our outside dog, but still have our inside doggy!

I was able to get a big bag of doggy treats and a 5# bag of dog food for $ 1.40! Normal price would have been $7.50!!!

I also was able to stock up on some baby items! Im learning to stock up and save money! That way Im never forced to pay full price when I need that item!

I got 2 packs of diapers, 1 pack of wipes, 1 Large bottle of Johnsons wash, 1 bottle of baby oil gel and one No More Tangles. (that is for Kelsey to try now) Normal price $28.95, I paid $15.44!

This next purchase was one of the best! Dryer Ice Cream is on sale for $2.50, I bought 2, bring it to $5.00. After coupons, I paid $1.00 for both! 50 cents each!!

My next purchase was kinda like a reward! I've been seeing this on TV. A Febreeze Luminary. It looks and flickers like a candle, but is actually a light. The shade is what is scented. They were priced at $14.99, but I had a $5.00 coupon, so got it for $9.99. Kinda a splurge, but I liked it SO MUCH, I went back to Target during lunch and used my other coupon to buy another! They smell awesome, and scent the whole house! It was hard to get a good picture, it is on in both pics, but my flash made it look like it wasnt, and when I tried without the flash, it was blurry!
It matches my living room perfectly!!!

Not counting the candle, I paid around $42.00 for $77.00 worth of items!

Would you like to save?? Take the class I did!! Heather over at Sit A Spell, and her friend Kirby will be hosting a coupon class coming up! Here is the link:

It was very fun and I learned alot! Im off to Kroger to finish up my weekly shopping!

I think Im grounded from Target!

As most of you know, (does anyone actually read my blog??) I love my coupons! Well Target is one of the best places to use coupons because you can actually use 2 coupons per item. You can use a Manufacture Coupon and then you can use a Target coupon. Well last night I sat down and made a list of everything I was going to get at Target. I had about 20 items, so I had 40 coupons! Now I admit that is alot to hand over at the end of my transaction, so I try to go during a time when I know there is not going to be a crowd or long line behind me. I was at Target at 7:57am this morning, they open at 8am. I had my list ready and got all of my items on it. When I got up to pay the cashier, lets call her "Lucy", told me I could not use 2 coupons for one item. I tried to tell her the rules for coupon stacking, one manufacture, one Target. She did not believe me and called her manager over. The manager told "Lucy" that I was correct, I could use 2 coupons. "Lucy" did not like that I was right and she was wrong. "Lucy" was not very nice to me during the rest of the transaction! Im trying to buy ahead so when baby comes, I wont have to spend lots of money. I had 3 coupons for 1.00 off a Gerber Feeding Accessory. I bought 3 bottles that were .99. "Lucy" informed me that bottles were not a feeding accessory. Im still pondering that one, but told me I could not use those 3 coupons. Ok, whatever, I just paid for the bottles and told myself I would take them back during lunch. ( I still saved 56.00, but that is my next post.)
Soooo, on my lunch break, because I went back to Target for something else, I took the 3 bottles to customer service for a return. GUESS who was working at customer service?? "LUCY"!!!!
By this time Im wishing I would have changed my shirt or something so she wouldn't recognize me! I just quickly told her I wanted to return these, and got my money back. I went to get what I came for, a Febreeze Luminary (which is an awesome candle) They were 14.99 and I had a $4.00 coupon. Kinda a splurge, but those things are awesome! Anyway, when I went to check out, the lady hit total and closed the sale BEFORE scanning my coupon. I asked her if she could cancel it and she said no. If I wanted to get refunded my $4.00, I would have to go to customer service. Hello "LUCY" Again!!!! So I explained what happened to "Lucy" and this time she was very nice, (maybe she didnt recognize me) and refunded my money.
I don't think Target liked me today!!!

2nd week of grocery shopping & Saving!!

Today I went to Kroger for my weekly shopping trip! I am learning more each time about using coupons and discounts in order to save the most money. My total BEFORE handing over my Kroger card and coupons was $96.73. After coupons and Kroger discounts, I paid $33.79 for 44 items!!

I bought alot of snack foods because I would rather snack 12 times a day than eat a whole meal! Im just not every really hungry! Pre-pregnancy I was starving ALL of the time! Go figure! So that is why you see lots of snacks, I did try to buy healthy ones though...The only thing Im not sure about are the two packs of cheezy noodles. I've never bought those, but if no one seems interested in them, I will donate them to the church food drive. That is my plan, if it is cheap or free get it anyway and then donate it! The 3 boxes of Trix cereal are hard to see in this pic...

2-1 pound packs of hamburger meat (85/15%)

1 pack of breakfast sausage

2 frozen leamonade cups (Kelseys after school treat)

1 bag Green Giant Frozen corn in butter sauce

1 box Apple Toaster Strudel

1 box Cinnamon Toaster Strudel

1 pack Fiber One Key Lime Pie yogurt

2 cans Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls

5 bags of Quaker Rice Cake snacks in different flavors

2 bags Nature Valley Nut Clusters

1 box Fiber One cereal bars

2 boxes Warm Delight Desserts

2 boxes Yakisobe Cheesy Noodles (these were FREE)

And this here Tower of Yummy Delight is something I am very proud of! I got 3 things of BLUEBELL ICE CREAM FOR $8.00!!! That is unheard of these days! Wanna know my secret? A grocery store was running a 3/10.00 ad. If you go to the Bluebell website and register you can print out a coupon for $1.00 off! Luke and I both registered, so that gave us 2 coupons!
This better last a while!
