Target!

Had a great shopping trip at Target yesterday. No problems. No hassles. Cashier was awesome! As usual, I try to pick a college aged male, as they are not rude about coupons, generally.
2 Glade Cotton White Candles @ 2.49 (-3.oo internet coupon for each)= Both free
1 Bath Sponge @1.02
2 Renu 2 oz contact solutions with travel case @2.64 (-2.00 internet coupon for each)=.64 each
2 10 ct bic pens @ 1.00 (-1.oo off two bic products from paper, -1.00 off bic product from target)=Free

Fiber One Deal (could have done better, but the cereal selection was very poor):
Box of Cereal @ 2.50 (-.75 manuf. coupon and 1.00 off General Mills Target coupon)=.75
2 Boxes of Toaster Pastries @ 1.75 (-.50 manuf. and .40 manuf)=1.25 and 1.35 each

Kashi Sunshine Cereal @ 3.49 (- free product coupon)=FREE

Spent: 8.36 + Received a free $5 Gift Card! :)
Total should have been higher---I apparently got .51 cents overage on each candle and I was charged no tax?
Saved: 38.15

Haha..the final Kmart trip

Sorry for the lack of pictures. I promise this was my VERY last Kmart trip :) I did two more transactions which I did not post because some of the coupons did not scan correctly, but they were basically repeat deals of previous posts.

4 Beneful dog meals (1.67) each but had two BOGO so all four=FREE
2 Hormel Compleats meals (2.00) each but had one BOGO so both=FREE
2 Easy Mac (1.09) each but had one BOGO so both=FREE
2 Dove 6-pack of soap (7.29-2 coupon=5.29 per pack) =10.58 (for someone else)
1 Chef Michaels Dog Canned Food (.89) used a free coupon given by a dog food demonstrator at Kmart=FREE
American Fare lemonade: Free with coupon since I spent $15 in grocery, health, etc.

Total= 11.30!! :) The soap was not for me, so really I paid nothing but 70 cents tax!! :) :)

Kmart #6


So, I said I was done making trips to Kmart. Well, I had some coupons burning a hole in my pocket. :)
Spent: 2.01
Saved: Around 25
Free Items:
Everything but the applesauce (.49) and two shave gels (.39 each)
I will be giving most of these things to others. The Rubbing Alcohol was free since I spent $15 on health/food/consumables.

Item of note: ECLIPSE gum. I had read on a blog (sorry, can't remember which one) that BOGO coupons up to $2 will double. This is correct. I used an ECLIPSE BOGO coupon and it took the 1.19 off my bill twice. Yay! :)
I think I am now officially done at Kmart.
