Under $60 for the Week at Target!





I'm really, really happy with today's Target trip. Even though I only saved 26%, I got some amazing savings AND (more surprisingly)  both kids were basically under control in the store (thanks to a steady stream of snacks, but I do what I have to do!).
Here's the visual recap:
I went to Target mainly for the Kashi deal, but wanted to pick up a few staples -- bread, cheese, milk -- as well.  I came up with some fabulous deals.  Here's how things went down:

  • I did the Kashi deal, getting 3 boxes of granola bars, 1 frozen meal, and a box of crackers for only $1.64 each.
  • 3 packages of cheese (shredded and block) on sale for $2.15 each (I use these for quesadillas for the kids -- they love them and I can sneak some veggies in them)
  • St Ives Travel Size Body Wash -- $.99 ea minus $1/1 Coupon (7/10 SS)= FREE
  • 2 Hefty One-Zip Freezer Bags (need to replenish after Freezer Cooking Day!) -- $2.02 each minus $1/2 coupon (4/10 RP) = $1.50 each
  • Toddler Cherokee Jeans -- on clearance for $4, used $2/1 Target Coupon = only $2!
  • Mossimo Satchel -- $13.98 on clearance, used $5 off a $19.99 handbag purchase Target Coupon = $8.98!!
  • Dove Men+Care Deodorant 2-pack-- on clearance for $3.38
  • 2 Silk Soy Milk -- $3.29 each - $1/1 Coupon (from Coupons.com, unavailable now but there is another one in 7/10 SS)= $2.29 each
Total Before Coupons:$78.84
Total Out of Pocket: $58.84
Percentage Saved: 26%

My CVS Trip: Finding Ways to Save on EVERYTHING


Yesterday's trip to CVS proves that you don't always have to forego your favorite brands or specialty items in order to save money. By taking advantage of store sales and yes, using coupons, I was able to get a printer cartridge (a must for printing coupons!), $30 worth of iTunes gift cards, and the special (read:expensive) razors that my husband insists on, all for under $50. While that may not seem like a huge bargain bonanza, I was able to spend less on each item that I would inevitably be buying anyway, regardless of sales.  Here's how I did it:
Transaction #1:
1 5-ct Gillette Mach 3 Razors -- $14.29
-$2 ECBs
-$3 manufacturer coupon in 6/3 P&G

1 iTunes 3-pk Gift Cards -- $30
-$5 ECBs
Total out of Pocket: $42.43

Transaction #2:
1 HP ink cartridge -- $19.99
-$5.00 store sale
-$5.00 ECBs from prior transaction
-$2.00 ECBs from prior transaction
Final Price= $7.99

Total Spent: $49.28
Total Retail Value: $64.28

As a bonus, a $2 off 1 Pantene, Herbal Essences, or Aussie product printed out at the register. I'm planning on combining this with the $1/1 in 6/12 RP and the $1/2 ECB deal on Herbal Essences this week, to get 2 for $2.97.
