Target Coupon Tip

Target has online coupons that can be used at their store AND you can stack them with a manufacturer coupon.  There current policy is that you can used one Target coupon and one manufacturer coupon per item. 

Here's a tip that I learned the hard way.  Each week or two go through the Target coupons and print those you may need even if they're not on sale.  Target frequently rotates coupons so, for example, a Huggies coupon that was there last week, may not be there this week when there is a sale on Huggies. 

Print those end of the month coupons!

Tomorrow is the end of the month.  Print any coupons before they reset. 

Similac Formula

Brought the family to Target yesterday to stock up on some items.  I was able to get Similac ready to feed organic formula for $2.19 a quart.  I used a combination of $2 coupons (10 of them) and I had $20 in Similac vendor checks.  It would have been a sweeter deal if I was able to score the formula on sale, but we needed it.  Only a month and a half to go before I can start switching the little man from formula to milk.

We were also able to get a sale on the Filtrete Furnace filters.  Regular price is $17.29 & we were able to get one for $14.29.  Unfortunately, I left my Filtrete coupon at home & since it was snowing here I wasn't about to trek back out in the snow for an extra $3.

I saved 72% off at ShopRite today

I hit a big stock up sale today on cereal.  I'm not keeping all of it, some will be donated to our local food pantry.  I bought $124 of groceries but I only paid $36.66 out of pocket.  Some items I did pay full price for.  I got:
  • Perdue Roasting Chicken
  • 8 boxes of cereal ($.84 per box)
  • 2 cans of Campbells Soup (FREE)
  • 2 bars of cheddar cheese
  • half and half
  • heavy cream
  • St. Ives body wash ($.99)
  • 2 rolls of paper towels ($.19 each)
  • 2 packages of onion rings
  • razor
  • fajita & enchilada tortillas
  • enchilada sauce
  • 1 qt extra virgin olive oil
  • corn meal
  • baby q-tips
  • Scotch Brite Green Clean Sponges ($.34)
  • 2 bags of croutons
It's crazy that these things cost $124 retail.  Good thing there are coupons!
