Another trip to Target

So like I said in my last post I love shopping at Target because you can double your savings by using both a Target coupon AND a manufacturer coupon.
Yesterday I went in and I grabbed a few more little things were on sale and it came to around $13 and change.
I bought 3x Downy fabric softener for $4.99 etc then I used $1 off each (target coupon) and a $4 off when you buy 3(manufacturer) which brings them to 3/$7.97 or $2.66ea.
Next I bought 2x Dawn dish soap for $1.99 and I used $0.50 off each (target) and $1 off when you buy 2 (manufacturer) which brings them to 2/$1.98 or $0.99 ea. Lastly I bought covergirl lipstick. They were on sale for $2.49 and I used $2 off (target) and $2 off (manufacturer). Now I thought Target gave overage, which is why I bought the lipstick. I would have MADE $1.50 on each on I bought so in total I should have got about $5.50 off my other purchases. Apparently they DON'T pay overage so instead I just got them for free! Oh well free lipstick is good too!
And that's it! The rest is tax.
Of you haven't been to Target yet, right now is a good time to go, they have coupon booklet's at the cash registers and if you match them with the newest P&G coupons you can get some really great deal!

Quick target shop!

Well it's been a while since I've posted here, but to be honest it's been a while since I've done any REAL couponing. Today wasn't much of a shop, I only bought 2 things, BUT I did score an awesome deal!
One of the reasons I love target is that they allow you to use 2 coupons on one item as long is one is a target coupon and one is a manufacturer coupon. So today that's exactly what I did. I was out of concealer and eyeliner and I had a couple covergirl P&G brandsaver coupons that are expiring soon that I needed to use, as well as some covergirl target coupons.
I forget how much each one was but they were each around $5-$6...after taxes I probably would have paid about $12-$13. Instead, on each item I used a $2 off covergirl (P&G) and a $2 off covergirl (target) and saved $4 off each item.
In total my purchase came to a whopping $3.80 (taxes included)!!!

DON'T PAY MORE!

Hey everyone, I know I haven't been posting much lately, but that's because I haven't been doing a lot of couponing lately. Well I thought since I don't have any new shopping deals this week, I would share my DON'T PAY MORE list. This is a list I created a while back to remind myself not to pay any more than a specific price for certain items. A lot of these items I have gotten for an even better deal than what is on my list, but those deals don't happen very often and sometimes you run out of things before the amazing deals come back. So, because of that I sometimes have to pay more for things than I have before. With that being said I REFUSE to pay more that what is on my list unless it is absolutely necessary! So here is goes:

DON'T PAY MORE!!!

FOOD

• Pasta - $1.50

TOILETRIES

• Disposable Razors (usually Venus) - $5
• Toothpaste - $1
• Tooth Brush (manual) - $1
• Body Wash - $3
• Lotions - $3
• Face wash - $5
• Tampons - $5
• Women's Deodorant - $0.50
• Men's Deodorant - $0.50
• Shampoo - $1.50

CLEANING

• Mr. Clean - $0.50
• Scrubbing Bubbles aerosols - $1.50
• Dish Soap - $0.50
• Dishwasher Detergent (pods) - $4
• Laundry Detergent (liquid) - $4 (usually $3 or less)
• Resolve stain remover - $1.50
• Air Fresheners (aerosols) - $0.50
• Glade Candles - $2.50

TOILET PAPER/PAPER TOWEL/DIAPERS/WIPES

• Toilet Paper - $5
• Paper Towel - $5
• Diapers (easy-ups) - $15

PET SUPPLIES

• Cat food (2kg) - $6 (usually $5 or less)
• Dog food (8kg) - $14 (usually $10 or less)
• Dog treats (usually Pedigree) - $1

PHARMACY

• Childrens Tylenol - $5 (usually $2 or less)
• Advil/Tylenol - $5

OTHER

• Batteries - $5

So that's my list. Of course there is many many more things I use coupons for, but those are a lot of the items I like to stock up on when they go on sale. Like I already said, some of those numbers a bit more than what I usually pay, but beside a couple of them I added what I usually pay.

Hope you enjoyed :-)

Nov 19 at Walmart

Just another quick brag post.

Today I went to Walmart and picked up a few things. Everything in the picture cost me only $46.23 and here's how:

Delissio was $4.97 with $2 off = $2.97ea.

Barilla Pasta was $1 with $0.50 off = $0.50ea.

Kraft Flavored Peanut Butter was $3.97 with $1 off = $2.97

Tampax Radiant was $3.92 with $1 off = $2.92ea.

Old Spice Body wash was $3 with $2 off = $1ea.

Finish was 2/$12 with $2 off each one = $4ea.

Windex Touch-Up was $3.97 with $2 off = $1.97.

and lastly the Supersized coloring book was not on sale and I did not have a coupon for it, but it was only $5 and my daughter loves to color so I grabbed it for her!

I paid $6.59 in taxes and saved $27 with coupons alone.

And that's it! Sorry for the short post, but I'll be back soon with more tips on saving :-)
