Stocked Up

August 21st, 2014 at 07:32 pm

We had run out of a few items recently, so I started a list. Today, I went to our Super Target to purchase items on the list. I wandered nearly the entire store, just for fun and to see if any bargains caught my eye. I'm happy to say I arrived home with only the items on my list...well except I bought another soda! I'm being honest in hopes that I will stop my soda habit again and can be accountable here.

I purchased two conditioners, and one shampoo. Pantene brand, used $5.50 in coupons, and received a $5 gift cards. Effectively it ended up being nearly buy one, get two free. Good deal in the end.

I picked up cooking spray, yeast, a feminine product for which I had a coupon, and four packages of Clif bars, which I received 10% off when I used my Target cartwheel.

I also bought the 10 packages of Kraft macaroni, that after the promotion and discount cost me $0.43 a box. I plan to donate to school later this fall when they do a food drive.

With all those items I still spent $50! I was tempted to stock up on Kleenex, too. I may go back, since the effective cost after coupons and gift cards would make each box of tissues just $0.77. That is a pretty good deal. Smile

I think I need to buy one daughter a new mouse to use with her computer, too. She's missing some part that makes it work. I think I will use an Amazon gift card to get this item! Otherwise, I really hope that is all I need to purchase today.

Did you make any purchases this week that earned you a Target gift card? Do you stock up on toiletries, or buy them one at a time when you need them?

    Lately it feels like Target trips are research projects. So many kinds of coupons, promos, bags, Redcard. But good for you getting out of there with list items only. I find that I now need a water with me in the car all the time. Maybe that would help you break the soda spend?

    I usually always have a back up, so there is 2 of lots of stuff.

    I didn't get a Target gift card but I did use Target and Kroger deals (coupons, Cartwheel, Target Debit Card, etc) to get step-daughter shampoo, detergent, and face cleaner for back to college. Bought 4 bottles of shampoo/conditioner, 2 facial cleaners, and some Tide. Only spent about $12. Smile

    I'm so in the habit of shopping at Walmart, that even though I have a Target near me, I don't seem to think of shopping there.

    @scottish girl, Target is a discount store here in the US. The store has an app, called Cartwheel, that you can load offers on to receive discounts. The store scans a barcode on your phone when you redeem them. In this case, I got an additional 10% off the Clif Bars and the macaroni. Pretty easy to use most of the time!
