Stocking Up...

January 10th, 2013 at 07:40 pm

I know I said I was trying not to spend to much money, but there were some deals at Target that I thought would be good to take advantage of. Things we use anyway that were on sale and some I had coupons for. Although...I forgot to used two coupons...worth $3.50! Ugh.

I bought 12 Lean Cuisine meals, for about $2 each. I think one was $1.89. Bought 10 and received the $5 Target gift card. I should have used the $3 off coupon on this deal, but it got left in my purse. Still a good deal and we do eat these.

I bought ALL laundry detergent. Paid $11.99 for 110 loads. Had a $1 coupon. I generally buy the smaller containers for $4.49. I get more than three times the amount for only slight more than half the cost. And I purchased toilet paper with it to earn another $5 Target gift card.

The other 'deal' was Always pads. Three packages $5.49 each. Had one $0.50 off coupon, and three packages purchased earned a $5 gift card.

I'm saving all the Target gift cards for Christmas, of course. All things we buy normally, just in slightly larger quantity and for a little less out of pocket. I'm happy I don't need to buy some of these things for awhile.

Oh, the other coupon I forgot to use was for a pack of gum. We can use it another time, right? Target happens to be my preferred discount store. What is yours?

    Do the gift cards have an expiration date? I would like to start doing that alsoSmile

    Target gift cards never expire! I used them last month and probably had some in my stash that were from last January. I just write the amount on the back, so I don't forget how much is on the card.

    CCF--always inspired by your posts, and you know I love Target. I use the $5 gift cards as presents for folks like the school bus driver. I hate to use them myself, because I save 5% with my Redcard.

    @MEC, that is a good way to use those gift cards...gifts to school providers. I know my sister, a first grade teacher, would use hers to buy kleenex and hand sanitizer!

    Great idea on saving the GCs, I'll do the same. If I'm not mistaken if you're in the area take your receipt and coupon into Target and they'll honor it b
