Super Fun Target Run 12/29/10!

Target Trip 12/29/10 $1.86 + tax! (73% OFF!)

I had a "Super Fun Target Run" today!  Okay, so the rhyme is a little hokey...but, after checking out, it was the first thing I thought of!  Today was a particularly good Target Trip because I made another attempt at using two of the same type of Target Coupons in the same transaction (x4!)...and they all went through without a hitch!  Yay!  No more dividing my Target Trips into separate transactions! (supposedly some Target stores allow this and other's don't) 

Here's what I chose to buy today:

8-2L Bottles of Coke/Sprite, $1.00 each

+ two Buy 3, get 1 Free Target Coupons

= $0.75 each!

Wonderful Walgreens Trip 12/29/10!

Walgreens Trip 12/29/2010 (75% OFF!) 

(Only $1.61 when including $11 in Register Rewards received for future use)

Another Great Walgreens Trip today!

Ten FREE bags of chex mix (I actually earned $0.10 buying these!)

One $0.74 Ban deodorant

One FREE colgate toothbrush

Two $0.49 Herbal Essences (shampoo & conditioner)!

Two FREE Herbal Essences (styling products)!   

Whew! :-) 

For more information re: how I got these deals, and to find other great deals at Walgreens this week, visit my earlier post:  "Walgreens Deals week of 12/26 - 1/1".  Also, remember you can scroll down to the bottom of the blog page to search for and print your own coupons!

Copps Trip Wed 12/29/10

Copps Trip Wed. 12/29 $10.53 (+tax) (85% OFF!)

(not including $25 in gift cards shown above)

Great 85% OFF Copps Trip Today!  I did this in three transactions & used the purchase of gift cards to bring each transaction's reg price total up above $25.  I most often buy Subway gift cards or Copps gift cards to do this.  This time, I even used one of the Copps gift cards I had just purchased in a subsequent transaction!  Now, I wish I had used the other $10 Copps gift card today, too...if I had, my total today would have been $0.53 + tax!  There were a couple of other things that didn't go as well as they could have with this trip today (see below)...but I'm continuing to learn & grow...& there's always room for improvement, right? :-)  

Here's how I did this:

("mc" = manufacturer's coupon, "OOP" = out of pocket):

Transaction #1:

5-boxes of Kellogg's Cereal, $1.99 each (when you buy 5) 

+ $3.80 in manufacturer's coupons, doubled (search "Kelloggs" in the database at the bottom of the blog page...many are $0.70/1!)

= $0.77 each!  Unfortunately, as it turns out, one of the cereals I purchased (the Corn Flakes Cinnamon) wasn't part of this promotion.  So, I didn't get these for the $1.99 each sale price, like I was expecting.  :-(.  (but, I'm still pretty happy with paying $0.77 each!)

1-$15 Subway gift card

= $15

Subtotal: $18.85

~Used $5 Copps Jingle Bucks Gift Card

Total OOP = $13.85

Transaction #2:

$2/1 Tribe Hummus Coupon!

There's a high value ($2/1) printable coupon available for Tribe Origins Hummus!  I've heard this is sold at Walmart...but I'm not sure where else in our area yet.  I'll update this post when/if I find out.  Or, if you know where to find this brand, please feel free to leave a comment to let us all know!

Here's how to get the coupon:

1.   “Like” Tribe Hummus on Facebook 

2.  Enter the sweepstakes found on the “Sweeps” tab

3.  Print your coupon. Save $2 off any ONE Tribe Origins Hummus product

Thanks, FreeCouponAlerts!
