Today's Target Trip

I want to start keeping a running total for the year of: a) how much I save with coupons, b) how much I spend on ink, paper, and newspapers = net gain.

Here we go with today's trip!

I was a little disappointed that we didn't have enough money left over after Christmas to hit the 70% off toys sale at Target.  When I went today, though, they had some things left.  Even though the sign said 70%, we found a La La Loopsie hairstyles dolls reg. $69.99 for only $34.99!  I was tempted to wait until it went down from 50%, but figured this deal was too good to pass up.  There's no guarantee that other people won't snatch it up before it goes down.  Now that I think of it, toys go on clearance on Fridays, so if it goes down in price, I have my receipt.  Target has a policy that if the price goes lower than what you paid within 7 days of purchase that you will get a refund for the difference.  Hassle free shopping!
