My Target Trip!

Target has lots of super deals. I don't go REALLY often, just because I would get in a lot of trouble with all the wonderful (non-sale) items there. But I went to Target on Tuesday. They had a similar deal as Toys R Us on Toy Story 1 and 2....and I was planning on going to TRU Tuesday for the deal, but I realized that the $2 extra I would spend at Target on the movies (they were $22.99 each with $10 off when you buy 2, where TRU was $16.99 when you bought 2) would be spent in the gas to get there (P.S. Target price matches, so if I had received the TRU ad in the paper I could have used it to get them for $16.99 each). So since I was making a trip to Target I decided to look around for some other deals. I came out with the following...

**Toy Story 1 & 2, $22.99 each, minus $10 off for buying both, minus 2 - $10 off coupons = $15.98 PLUS they each came with movie tickets for Toy Story 3 which comes out in June, worth $8.50 a piece...so I would say I came out on top by $1.02!!!**
**Target brand formula 40oz $16.xx, found $1 peelie coupons on Target brand body wash/lotion = $15.xx! (P.S. there were also peelies for $.75 off Target wipes and $1 off Target pull-ups)
**Target brand Toddler refill wipes (flushable) $1.24, minus $.75 peelie coupon = $.49
**AirWick I-Motion $6, used $5 newspaper coupon and printed $1 Target coupon = free
**Monopoly $7, used the $5 coupon from Sunday's paper, but if you missed it, you can print one here = $2
**Connect 4, used the $4 coupon from Sunday's paper, but if you missed if, you can print one here and print a $3 Target coupon** = free
**Buy 10 Sobe, get a $5 gift card, I printed 2 - $.50 off Target coupons** and I printed 2 - BOGO Sobe coupons here = $8 out of pocket, $2 for 10 after gift card!

Before coupons my total was about $89 and after a lot of HUGE value coupons I paid about $36. How ridiculous is that!?!

**After linking the Target coupons above, I looked through them online and it seems as if they've taken down the Connect 4 (it was $3 off select Hasbro) and Sobe coupons. BUT there was a new $3 off select Disney DVD/Blu-Ray. I'm not close to my printer to check out the details, so I'm not sure what it's for...but if it's for Toy Story, that's an extra $6 ($3 each) off!

additional Target deal...

There are a lot of gift card deals this week!
Buy 5 participating Kellogg’s/Keebler items get a $5 gift card, There were $1 off Keebler 100 Calorie Right Bites in the 1/10 paper, here is a $1 off Keebler Fudge Shoppe and here is a $1 off Special K Fruit Crisps, whichever 5 you buy (if you use 5 – $1 coupons) you get everything for less than $1 each after the gift card.

Target through 2/20

My “alone time” out shopping is few and far between nowadays so Target usually doesn’t top my list. But hopefully if I plan ahead and post early, I make it!

**Buy one select Stouffer’s Family Size entrée @ $5.99 get a free Haagen-Dazs ice cream...buy 2 of each and print 2 - $1 off Stouffer's here and a $1 off 2 Haagen Dazs here = $8.98 for everything!

There are 2 gift card promotions that may be worked together: buy 2 Gillette Fusion or Venus Razors @ $6.99 get a $5 gift card and buy 3 Olay Total Effects Body Wash @ $5.49 get a $5 gift card. Here’s the BIG plan (you can buy extra coupons at The Coupon Clippers if needed)
--Buy 3 Venus Razors, 1 Fusion Razor, and 3 Olay Total Effects Body Wash = $44.53, use 3 - $2 off Venus coupons, use 1 - $4 of Fusion coupon, and 3 - Buy Venus get Olay Body wash free (all coupons are from the 2/7 P&G insert) also activate a $2 off Fusion Target text alert coupon = $15.96 out of pocket…THEN you’ll receive 2 - $5 gift cards for buying 4 razors and 1 - $5 gift card for the 3 body wash…THEN (we’re not done yet!) submit for the $15 Olay rebate here = $14 overage!!!

And while I’m there I can use up some coupons that I have lying around on some travel size items (Target has a HUGE travel section, as long as the coupon doesn’t state a specific size, you may use it!)
**Travel Size Degree deodorant $.97, print the $2 off 2 coupon from here, or the $.75 coupon = as low as free

Target through 11/7

I’m headed to Target tonight. There are a lot of great deals this week, but I’m also hoping to score some Halloween clearance…Have I waited too long where all the good stuff is gone, or am I going to get there when it’s possibly gone from 50% off to 75%?...who knows!

**Kellogg’s cereal Buy 3 get 1 free. Prices vary, but most are under $3. You may use 4 manufacturer coupons, but the register will only allow using 3 of the $1 Target coupons. Use newspaper manufacturer coupons, or print some here, here, and here. Any way you go, I don’t think you’ll be paying more than $.75 per box.
**Look for Halloween Oreos, probably on clearance for $1.50 or less. Use the $1 off 2 from the Nabisco booklet and $1 off 2 Target coupon = $.50 or less per package

Check out Target's Online Toy Coupons
Do you have a Wii? Then you should probably RUN to Target with these coupons. This week Wii games are buy 2 get one free and games start at $14.99. If you purchased 6 games at $14.99 and use 3 - $10 off Target coupons, you could pay as little as $29.96 or $4.99 per game.

What to do with some Expiring Coupons...

In the last week of the month I always go through my coupon binder and pull out all the expiring coupons. I pick out a few that I want to buy that week (like free items I forgot about) but most of them I just toss out (and it’s always such a relief when I can actually fit my binder in my purse!)

There are a lot of items in the travel section of Target and Wal-Mart that you may use coupons on. As long as it doesn’t exclude ‘travel size’ or require a certain size, you can buy whatever. I like to wait until the end of the month, because I hate wasting that $1 coupon on a 1 oz item rather than buying the full-size and possibly miss out getting it for free. You may think you don’t *need* any travel size items, but think about Christmas or Care baskets you could make, baskets for guests you might keep in a spare bedroom, or maybe you just want to keep a small deodorant in your glove box. Either way, posted below are some super cheap travel size items you can get with those expiring coupons…

Target through 10/10

There are some super deals at Target this week. I have a $25 gift card burning a hole in my pocket, so I'm going to see how much I can do with it (or not do with it!)

As I mentioned before, Target has online printable coupons that may be used with manufacturer coupons (click here for the Target coupon policy). As the coupons come and go on the Target website, some sites (linked in scenarios below) save these coupons in a much easier printable format until the coupons actually expire. Okay, I hope you find these deals helpful and have a good excuse to get to Target (I know if can be dangerous).

Target through 8/29

As I mentioned before, Target has online printable coupons that may be used with manufacturer coupons (Click here for the Target coupon policy, print it out and take it with you if you want!). As the coupons come and go on the Target website, some sites (linked in scenarios below) save these coupons in a much easier printable format until the coupons actually expire. Between drug stores and grocery stores it is often difficult for me to find time for Target, but sometimes, the sales are really worth it. Here we go…

Target through 7/18

Look at me posting for the 2nd day in a row! I don't know how I'm going to get to all these great deals this week, but I think it will be worth it! I haven't posted about Target before, because CVS, Walgreens and the other random stores in between keep me pretty busy, but Target has some super sales this week. I usually get in trouble at Target because I love everything there and it’s difficult to walk out empty handed. These are food deals though, so if I stay close to the food section & not wander, I should be okay…

I was originally only going to post about the Kellogg's Fuel for School Rebate, but digging deeper there are a TON of great deals this week. So I’ll start with the rebate and branch out. Get your coupon printer ready, we’re going to give it a work out!

If you didn’t pull the Kellogg's rebate out of the paper Sunday, you may print one here (sign up/in to get it). In order to receive the $10 rebate you must buy 10 Kellogg’s items in one transaction. There are a TON of Kellogg’s items that qualify, and I’m sure there will be lots of sales over this next month that would be quite fruitful.

I first posted about Eggo’s BakeShop products that are $1.50 each at Target and had numerous sites offering $1 off coupons…but all those coupons have disappeared. There are still some options though…
**Keebler Fudge Shoppe Cookies, buy 5 at $2.54 each, print 5 - $1 off coupons. Pay $7.70, get back a $5 Target gift card AND it counts for 5 of your 10 rebate items ($5) so your overage would be $2.30 on these 5 items!
**Kellogg’s Mini Wheats and/or Raisin Bran Crunch $1.88 each, use $1 coupons from the paper = $.88 out of pocket, submit for the rebate and you get $.12 overage on each one after the rebate. If you used or lost your $1 coupon, here is a $1.50 off 2 which would make it cost $.13 each ($1.50 off for coupon and $2 off for rebate)
**You may fill in with the Eggo Bakeshop products at $1.50 each, after the rebate they would be about $.50 each, which isn’t bad. Just be sure to get all 10 Kellogg’s/Keebler products in one transaction.
_________________________________
Some other deals to check out:
**Buy 10 Sobe Life Waters at $1 each get a $5 Target gift card, print 5 BOGO coupons. Pay $5 out of pocket, get back a $5 GC = 10 for free!
**Crystal Light, 3 pack (probably by the registers) $.99, print $1 off 1, $2 off 2 = free

****Target printable coupons****
Target posts coupons on their website almost every week. They often have lengthy expiration dates, but Target usually doesn’t leave the coupons on their site for that long. In comes “Target coupon generators.” A Full Cup has great generator on their website (under the coupons tab) but I think that you have to sign in, in order to see them, it looks like Organic Grocery Deals also has a generator and may be easier to access. These generators are often more printer friendly and easily accessible when you forget to print them when they first appear. Target coupons may be used with manufacturer coupons.You can print as many Target coupons as you want, so look through them and see if you see anything else exciting!

Options for Target + Manufacturer coupons:
Select Kashi Cereals $2.66. Buy 2 boxes of Cereal and use one Target BOGO coupon along with one $1 off coupon. Then print 2 $1.50 off manufacturer coupons. Your total overage would be $1.34, and that is AT the register, so be sure to buy other items with these...

MorningStar Farms Garden Veggie Patties (9.5 oz.) are 1.64. Buy 2 boxes for a total of $3.28, use $2 off 2 Target coupon and this $1 off coupon and you get both for $.28

Edy's Slow Churned ice cream (small 6 oz containers) $1.19, use the $1 off Target coupon and final cost .19!

Duncan Hines Cake Mix $.97, use $.50 off Target coupon and get it for $.47!


Disclaimer: Posting on this blog is a way of organizing all my thoughts and I have not been to Target yet this week. Hopefully the items are accurately marked on the aisle! There were a lot of links in this post, so if you find any that are incorrect, please let me know!!!
