Todays Target Run...

Here is what I got at target today. I spent $53.93 but had to purchase a sippy cup for my daughter and a dress for a gift. I saved a total of $87.58. Without the sippy cup and dress, everything came out to be about $1. Not the greatest deals, but I did get quite a bit of wipes. I also wanted to try out the bounce dryer bars. I had $2.50 coupon from vocal point plus the target coupon. Hopefully they are all what they seem to be!!
I was a little nervous because of all of the horror stories about Target and the policy that nobody seems to know, but it went pretty smoothly to say the least. A lot of coupons beeped, mostly the Target ones. I was grateful for a nice cashier!! I did hold up the entire store it seemed like. I hope I didn't get the cute cashier in trouble. The manager seemed a little frustrated that I had so many coupons.

It's been a while...

It's been awhile since I have updated. I was out of town for a week and now it just seems like the sales are really slow. I did stock up on Sobe's from Smith's this week but that is about it. Albertson's looks to be the best deal this week with it's spend $25 and get $10 ONYO. There are a bunch of Conagra coupons in this months All You magazine that would match up with the Albertson's deal. I might even go buy some more magazines. We'll see.

Albertson's spreadsheet...

This spreadsheet made by Krazy coupon lady is krazy!!! It is a list of all that is on sale at albies...check it out here before you go this week....

Save $25 on groceries

Kraft is having a deal where you buy $25 worth of Kraft products in one single transaction August 7-23, 2009 and you'll get a $5 catalina plus you can submit your receipt for a $20 rebate!

Go here to get a list of participating items. There could be a possible fantastic deal with the promotion that is going on right now, especially if you have a catalina to roll over.

Thanks Utah Deal Diva.

Sweet...More deals!

So, I couldn't help myself. I think I am totally ADDICTED to couponing especially when there are such great deals out there. I HAD to stop by Smith's again. This whole double unlimited coupons is amazing...I sure hope they keep doing it! Here is what I got from Smith's. My total BEFORE my fresh values card was $103!!! Seriously, groceries are WAY over priced! After my fresh values, it came to $73.76. Total amount I spent? ...$11.58 TOTAL SAVINGS....84% plus I received $0.05 off of gas. I purchased 40 items which comes out to be about $0.29 per item.

I also couldn't help myself and go back to Albertson's. I had $15 catalina burning a whole in my pocket. Not that anyone in their right mind could use 12 things of Q-tips. I might have to start getting creative!! I spent $30 in Q-tips minus $1.80 in coupons (I only had six), minus $15 in catalina's from yesterday, and then minus $.60 in doubles. Total spent $14.66 but received $22 in catalinas. 70% savings.

Smiths and Albertson's

So today I wanted to take advantage of Smith's doubles. I might even go back. I wasn't sure how it was all going to work so I only got the tide. I also stopped at Albertson's and saved about 87%. I love days like today. I only saved about 60% at Smiths.
