My $9.52 OOP Target Trip on March 15, 2011

Today, I went to Target. I have had problems in the past with coupons and the cashiers at this Target so much so that I boycotted them for about 3 months. However, I had 18 coupons for the Goodlife cat food to use so I thought I would go and try again. I understand that in those 3 months, Target has become more coupon friendly!

Here is what I got:
(4) 12 packs of Diet Pepsi @$2.50 each = $10.00 - $2.00 off peelie on pack = $8.00
(10) GoodLife wet cat food @ $0.53 = $5.30 - (8) $1.00 MFC - (2) $1.50 MFC = NEGATIVE $5.70
(8) GoodLife wet cat food @ $0.65 = $5.20 - (8) $1.00 MFC = NEGATIVE $2.80
(1) Olay Regenerist cream cleanser - $6.14 - $3.00 MFC - $2.00 Target = $1.14
(1) Olay Daily Exfoliating body wash = $5.84 - $4.99 MFC (B1 facial cleanser G1 Body wash or bar soap) = $0.85
(1) Lysol hand soap for dispenser (My husband wanted - No Coupon) = $3.49
(1) Up & Up Ibuprofen 50 tablets $1.77 - $1.00 Target coupon = $0.77
(1) GE Energy Smart 2 pack 60 watt light bulbs = $4.98 - $2.00 MFC - $1.50 Target coupon = $1.48


SUBTOTAL: $7.23
Sales Tax: $2.29
TOTAL OOP: $9.52

Total Savings: $46.65

So I guess that I had a pleasant and an excellent trip to Target. The cashier did not give me any problems at all. My husband and I walked out of the store as happy campers!!

Also, too, I got 3 more peelies on the Diet Pepsi that I purchased there for $2.00 off the purchase of (4) 12 packs that I will probably use to purchase more Pepsi.
