Oh Target, How Do I Love Thee...

I love Target!  I know I have said it before, but I really do love Target...they have anything you could ever want and a plethora of coupons to satisfy my every craving (did I mention my affection for all the clearance end-caps too?).  Today, I came upon a deal at Target....a deal I have been waiting for...a deal that no one had blogged about...a deal I found all on my lonesome...a deal I had been holding onto my precious coupons for.  I was so excited I almost couldn't control myself...my patience was going to pay off (sometimes good things really do come to those who wait).  Sound a little dramatic??  Of course, but I gotta be me and that's how I roll:)

Here is what I picked up at the Target today.  I had to do two transactions to make full use of all my coupons and gift cards:

Transaction #1:

• 10-4 packs Schick Quattro Dispoable Razors $69.90.  Used 5 $1/1 q's and 5 B1G1 q's ($6.99/1) = $29.90 (with tax my total came to $33.26)

I did get $0.05 off my total for using a reusable bag as well.  The icing on this cake was that for every two packs of disposable razors you bought, you got a $5.00 Target gift card...which is good as cash in my house.  So I handed over $33.26 to the cashier and in turn she handed me back $25.00 in gift cards for an end cost of only $8.26 for 40 razors (only $0.21/razor...YIPPIE)...did I mention that these are normally only 3 packs, but these were the bonus packs with an extra razor each.  Is it Christmas???  I feel like it's Christmas.

Transaction #2:

• 1-3 pack Huggies Wipes $6.49.  Used Target cat $1/1 and manufacturer q .50/1 = $4.99
• 1 swimsuit cover-up $17.48 on clearance.  Used Target q $3/1 clothing item = $14.48
• 1 Eucerin Aquafor Ointent $7.49
• 1 travel size Skintimate Shave Gel (with free razor) $1.47.  Used printable .75/1 = $0.72 (the bonus on this one is when I unwrapped it there was $1.55 worth of q's for more razors and shave gel...BONUS)
• 1 Oral-B Stages Toothbrush $2.59.  Used Target q $1/1 = $1.59
• 1 travel size contact solution $1.99
• 1-2 pack contact solution $4.59 (I had a $1/1 q that I totally forgot to use on this and that just pisses me off....but thanks to the razor high, I was able to let it go...well, sort of)

I got another $0.05 off my total for using a reusable bag.  My total before the $25.00 in gift cards was 38.58.  I paid $13.58 OOP. 

A very successful day for couponing...razors are one of those necessities that are always costly, so when I can pick them up super cheap it makes my day...I am still feeling a little coupon stoke:)

Ohhh, I almost forgot to share my little Pier 1 freebie.  They had a printable for $10/$10 purchase (no longer available).  This one was too good to pass up, so I printed it and off I went with the kiddos.  I found some cute coasters for our newly redecorated bedroom for FREE!
