Shopping at Target

Nothing like a Saturday morning at Target shopping alone before the crowds come. I had a mission complete with a list and a bunch of coupons (paper coupons along with coupons and discounts on the Target Cartwheel app--see my post on this app here). 

My list was established before I left the house, but as always, I found other bargains! 

I wanted popcorn kernels and the store brand had a 5% discount on the app. Once I was at the store, I found that it was also on sale!

I had a coupon for $1.25 off of 2 boxes of Lipton tea. The app had 20% off.

Celestial Seasonings tea was 30% off on the app and I had a $1 coupon off of 2 boxes. At the store, I found boxes on clearance for $1.17 (50% off of the original price of $2.34). Each box was 81¢ each. Déjà vu: I had a similar shopping experience a month ago (more here).

We go through a lot of razors in our house. The total for these would be $37.95. I paid $18.55 after coupons and app discounts.

This shop would have retailed for $123.60. I paid $94.77 after $22.25 in coupons and $6.58 in app discounts for a total of $28.83 in savings.

In addition to the $28.83 in savings, I got $10 back in Target gift cards. A $5 for Gain (quantity 2 of the 42 count) and $5 for Advil (quantity 3 of 100 count). For the Advil, I got boxes that had an extra 15 pills. Another bonus!!!

I have had some couponing expeditions that ended in the store paying me, free items, or drastic discounts. While this shopping trip did not end that way, it was still a success. Lots of savings and gift cards!
