Target 2/16

This was the first time I've done the Target Gift Card thing....whatever it's called....Anyway if you purchase 5 of the Keebler cookies you get a $5 gift card from Target to use on your next purchase.....they were only $1.54 so that made them $.54 after the giftcard

TIP : I did the gift card transaction first and then used the $5 gift card on the second order with all the other items you see.

Cost : $33.66
Saved : $19.86
Paid : $13.80
60% Savings

Cookies - $.54 each
Glade Plug Ins - $.16 each
Shaving Cream - $.44
Hefty Baggies - $.50 each for two of them (had a save $1 on 2 coupon) .... $.85 each for the other two.

The Hefty bags are on sale for $1 and they have a save $.15 peely coupon on the front of them.

I Love Walgreens!!

Cost : $62.58
Saved : $34.80
Spent : Out of Pocket...$27.78.....I have $18.50 in Register Rewards from this trip so it's like I only spent $9.28!!! (the diapers alone were $8.99 before coupons)

Other than the Candy and Gum these were all things I wanted to add to my stockpile. I hate running out of razors or bath soap and having to pay full price for it...so when the deals are this good I stock up with whatever coupons I can and as much as my budget will allow.
(It is very important that I have non-fruit or flower smelling body soap available at all times!! Otherwise I get a lecture from my husband! lol

Walgreens

I went to Walgreen's to hopefully score some awesome deals and I sure did!! I have to psych myself up for Walgreen's on trips like this. I did multiple transactions to get amazing savings. (BTW the cashier I had at the Centennial and North 5th store was AWESOME!!! I asked her for her schedule so I can go back when she is there)

ok Bottom Line....

Cost : $104.88
Savings : $72.31 70% Savings
Spent : $32.57.....I also have $4 in Register Rewards for my next visit.

The pull ups alone at full price would have cost me well over $35.....This was a great trip and well worth the time it took me to get such great savings.

The candies I used as filler in order to roll some of the Register Rewards. Walgreen's system has to have an item to attache every coupon/RR to.....So with the pull ups I used a coupon but couldn't use a RR from a different purchase because it already had the coupon attached to it....So I added the really cheap candy to add items so I could use the RR. Bonus was the chocolate I added also gave an extra RR!!!

Smiths

Today was the last day for the Big Game sale that Smith's had going on. So I went to take advantage of it one more time.

This picture is kind of hard to see everything but here are the totals!

Cost : $158.28
Savings : $94.66 !!!! 60% savings
Spent : $63.62

The only items that weren't part of the Big Game sale was the Oreo's....which I had coupons to get those for free....and the Candy. (however, the candy was on sale but just not part of the big sale.)

I love having a stocked pantry!!! Anything that comes my way I can handle!! Surprise visitors....I've got snacks....Last minute BBQ....I've got Chips..... I've never had the opportunity to have my pantry this stocked and I feel very blessed to be able to have so much stockpile!!

Target

I'm not a very good Target coupon girl but today I did pretty good

Cost : $78.08
Saved : $47.10
Spent : $30.99
60% savings isn't bad.

We don't have a couple of the card games but the extra's I will stash in my closet for unexpected birthday parties or for possible gift baskets. Same with the ponies.

The My Little Pony's were buy one get one free with the coupon I had.
The card games were all about $1.25 after coupons.
The soap was $1.50 each for the foam soap and $1.25 for the Dawn dish soap. (I love the foam soap to clean my stove top and I have been out for some time just waiting for a good deal!! They are $2.25 without the coupon so that still is a good deal!)

Albertsons Savings

So it looks like a big trip.....had to take three pictures to fit it all in.

Cost : $145.83
Savings : $68.81
Spent : $77.02

A few of the good items:
Air Wick Spray - $.50 each (I use these in gift baskets so I stocked up)
Wheat Thins - $1.29 each
Cereal - range from $.88 to $1.38 a box (i had different coupons ranging from $.50 to $1 off each)
Tortilla Shells - $.99 each
Tyson Chicken - two were $4 and the others were $6 (not overly great deals but I needed more quick foods in my freezer for dinners)
Pistachios - $2.50 (I think my husband likes these so I picked them up as a treat)

I'm trying to work on getting my overall stock pile up on all items.

We were blessed to be able to pay off all our credit card debt with our tax return this year!!! We are now working on getting our full Emergency fund in place. My goal is to keep enough stock pile that if anything did happen we would be good for a few months. other than bread, milk and such.

I hope everyone is having a great week and I'd love to hear about your savings.
