Target... I went back :)

I went back because Andy's flight was delayed (later canceled) and I had some more time to maximize that breakfast deal before it ended.  I remembered that I could get $1.50/1 coupons from kelloggsfamilyrewards.com with the points I had accrued.  They have some for any Kellogg's cereal (score!) and any Eggo waffle (double score!).  Ok, let's do the math on the Eggo waffles... They're on sale for $2 - $1.50 coupon = $.50.  Buy 5, get a $5 GC = $.50 MM (if you had five coupons, which is doubtful since you can only print two from each IP address, and you can only print this from the computer you redeem it, I believe).  Anyway, they were using Red Plum technology and the Eggo one never printed.  Oh well, I still got a hell of a deal:

2 Krave $2.75
3 Eggo $2
Subtotal:$11.75
-$1.50 Kellogg's cereal
-$1.50 Kellogg's cereal
=$8.75, get $5 GC, like paying $3.75 for all or $.75 each!

I also got some other things:
2 Campbell's Go! Soup $2.29 - $1 - $1 (see previous posts) = $.29

Oscar Mayer slow pull porked $5.99 - Free coupon got in the mail = Free

2 Birds Eye green beans $1.66 - $1 (birdseye.com) = $.66 each

Up & Up Antacid tablets $2.04 - $1.50 Target printable = $.54

Used my two $5 GC from earlier in the day and only paid $2.23 for everyting, and got $5 back!  Nothing like a money making transaction. ;)

Today's Target and Walmart trips

I am a couponing procrastinator... Per the norm, I got my Target last minute deals - thank goodness they were still in stock!

Target was having a great breakfast sale.  Buy 5 participating products, get a $5 GC.  Eggo waffles were included in this for $2, so if you do the math that's only $1 per box after the GC!  Nice stock up price without any coupons.

Cereal, juice, and coffee were also included.  If you're getting more than five, be sure to split them into separate transactions to get all your gift cards.

Here's what we got:
3 Krave $2.75
2 Tropicana Fruitstand juice $3
Subtotal $14.25
-$1/2 Krave
-$1/3 Kellogg's cereal Target printable
-$1 Tropicana Fruitstand juice
-$1 Tropicana Fruitstand juice
=$10.25, got $5 GC
Like paying $5.25 for 5 items, or $1.05 each

Foodsaver handheld vacuum sealers are on sale for $16.99 this week ($19.99 reg. price).  There's a Target coupon they text you for $10 off any Foodsaver product, and a $10 printable here - http://coupons2.smartsource.com/smartsource/index.jsp?Link=M4X5I4OQFZYRW
making it FREE.  We already have one but the battery is going out and we need the bags!  Hey, free is free!

Happy Toddler pouches food - I splurged and got the more expensive ones for this.  There's a $2/$10 Happy Toddler purchase text coupon that Target will send you (text BABY to 827438).  There are $1/2 qs on coupons.com right now as well.  Works out to about $.70 off each product.  I got 4 of the $1.79 ones, and 4 of the $1.43, so it works out to $.86 a pouch.

Campbell's Go! Soup $2.29 - $1 (FB- search for "Campbell's Go!") - $1 (coupons.target.com) = $.29

3 Yocrunch yogurt M&Ms (Emma start rejoicing when we got these!) $.64 - $.70/3 = $.41 each

2 Terra Chips $2.98 - $1 (coupons.com) = $1.98  (Have started making this myself, though!  Who knows how long my Terra Chip addiction will last...)
VO5 Hot Oil treatment $3.88 - $2 = $1.88
