Less than $5 = More Great Target Savings

Target is quickly becoming my favorite place to shop. Especially now that I have been going there for a few weeks, I feel like I know the store - I can find items easily, and when I can't I can always find a friendly "Target Team Member" to help me out. This makes my shopping trips quick and easy - like today. My fiancee helped me put these deals together last night, and today after work I just popped in, grabbed all the items, and only checked out once - I separated my items on the belt and asked them to bag it together but ring it up separately. The cashier was happy to do so, and it saved me a lot of time from having to wait in line again, or worse - go and reshop to get the items for the second transaction.

Here's the breakdown:
Transaction 1
  • (1) Kraft Salad Dressing -$0.11
          sale price 1.89 minus (2) stacked $1/1 coupons
  • (1) Kashi Waffles $0.29
          sale price $1.79 minus (1) $1.50/1 coupon
  • (1) Degree Deodorant $0.47
          sale price 1.97 minus (1) $1.50/1 coupon
  • (2) A1 Steak Sauce $0.99 each
          regular price 2.99 minus (2) $2/1 coupons

Total = $2.63 + tax (a whopping 3 cents)

OOP = $0.00 ! (thanks to the Target gift card I got last time)

Transaction 2
  • (1) Kraft Miracle Whip $0.14
          regular price 2.14 minus (2) stacked $1/1 coupons
  • (1) Degree Deodorant $0.47
          sale price 1.97 minus (1) $1.50/1 coupon
  • (2) A1 Steak Sauce $0.99 each
          regular price 2.99 minus (2) $2/1 coupon

Total = $1.59 + tax

OOP = $0.00 *used gift card again :)


So, for less than $5 I'd say I did pretty good. The deodorants will get donated, possibly to our service men & women overseas, or to the usual food pantry. The A1, dressing, and Miracle Whip will be used for our bachelor/bachelorette party. And the waffles? Those are breakfast! My fiancee and I just love them - not sure what we'll do when they aren't 29 cents any more. I guess it will be time to invest in a waffle iron :)
