Target Shopping Trip 8/5

Did you know that Target has store issued coupons available for you to print on their website? Did you also know that they allow you to stack those store coupons with a manufacturer coupon for the same item for double the savings? If you play your coupons right you can score some really awesome deals!!

A few weeks ago they had Papermate coupons available for print $0.50/off one Papermate item. I printed myself two (should have printed more..they seem to have unlimited prints) and decided I'd wait until the back to school sales started before I used them. Guess what's on sale this week...Papermate 10pk pens are $0.50/each. I picked myself up 2 pkgs of those today. Target also sent me a HUGE coupon book in the mail last week that had another Papermate $0.50/1 coupon and a BIC $1/1 coupon. So I snagged 1 more set of Papermate pens and BIC Pens were on sale for $0.99 this week. Note: Some coupons 'beep' at the register and don't allow you to receive overage. Most stores will adjust the coupon down to the sale price allowing you to still use the coupon. My $1 coupon beeped and was adjusted to a $0.99 coupon. Total for this shopping trip..100% FREE the cashier had no clue what to do. I had to explain that with my coupons my purchase came to zero and if she hit the 'cash' button then the register will close the sale and print my receipt. She was still mumbling about my order as she started the next order LOL!!

  4. Last year I seen a service in the area here featured in the newspaper. You can hire someone to do your kids back to school shopping - you pay them like $20 plus the cost of supplies but they do all the dirty work of finding the best price on supplies for you.
