go to target - now!

I know, I'm a LOUSY blogger - I "plan" to be better this summer when I'm not working. Even working just 20 hours a week leaves me with very little time each day, and of course, no matter how excited I am over deals, family comes first! They're why I spend the time finding these deals - so that I only have to work part time! I highly recommend it! :)

I just got back from Target where I took advantage of some great deals as I stocked up! My husband could live off of crackers and cheese, so this was a great week! Stocking up doesn't always have to mean something is free or almost free. If it's something you normally buy anyway and are getting a great deal on, it will really benefit you! Think about it, if I buy a box of crackers each week at the store (a small understatement) for $2.99, that's more than $150 over a whole year. If I can find those same crackers and pay $1.50 instead, I've just saved my family $75 dollars! And that's just for one product. Enough of the math lesson - here's the deals:

To do these, you'll need to print off both Target coupons from their store website, a full cup's target coupon generator (my favorite - it's the fastest way to print multiples of only the ones you want), or from the kiosk at the front of the store AND the matching manufacturer coupons from http://www.kraftfoods.com/ and/or http://www.coupons.com/. The store coupons are unlimited and each of the mfr coupon sites should let you do 2 each for a total of 4, unless you have more than one computer at your house. You ready?

Family Size Wheat Thins - $1.16 each (wyb2) ~ $2.66 use $1 off 2 (target) & 2 $1 (mfr)

Family Size Triscuits - $1.16 each (wyb2) ~ $2.66 use $1 off 2 (target) & 2 $1 (mfr)

Regular Size Triscuits - $1.04 each ~ (wanted to try the fancy new flavors :) $2.04 use $1 (mfr)

Nabisco 100 calorie packs - $0.04 ~ $2.04 use $1 off (target) & $1 off (mfr)

Kraft Salad Dressings - $0.79 each (wyb2) ~ $2.29 *2 = 4.58 use $1 off 2 (target) & 2 $1 off (mfr) *there was one variety marked down to $1.99 which would make them 59 cents each

Ritz Crackers - $0.54 ~ $2.54 use $1 (target) & $1 (mfr)

Miracle Whip - $0.99 each (wyb2) ~ $2.49*2= 4.98 use $1 off 2 (target) & 2 $1 off (mfr)

Kraft Mayonaise - $0.49 each (wyb2) ~ $1.99*2 = 3.98 use $1 off 2 (target) & 2 $1 off (mfr)

Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh lunchmeat - $1.89 each (wyb2) ~ $2.89 each, use $1 off 2 (target) & $1 off 2 (mfr)

Kraft shredded cheese - $1.09 each (wyb2) - $2.09 each, use $1 off 2 (target) & $1 off 2 (mfr)

Gold N Plump Chicken - assorted sizes, prices, etc - You can get a whole chicken for $3, family pack of drumsticks for $2.50, 3 chicken breasts for $3.50- see what works for you, but use the $1 (target) and combine it with the $1 or $1.50 off coupons you can get here -

*Here's some other things I picked up using some coupons from the Sunday papers

Dove Go-fresh 4 pk soap - $2.54 ~ $4.54 use $1 (target) & $1 (mfr) - there was another flavor clearanced for less, but I thought it smelled a bit too fruity

Diet Dr Pepper 12 pk - $2.75 each (um, no coupon, but a good price!)

Shick Quattro Razors - $0.25 each (wyb2) ~ $6.49 each, use $2 (target) & $4 (mfr) & bogo (mfr)

Cottonelle Toilet Paper - $4.75-5.00 ~ $6.49 use $1 (target) and .75 or .50 (mfr)

If your pre-tax total is over $75, go ahead and give them one of those $5 off $75 coupons you get on your receipts (let me know if you need one) - it won't matter that your total in the end is way under $75. Then give your mfr coupons, then your store coupons last. You shouldn't have any problems using multiple coupons (for the correct number of items, of course), just don't go crazy with 20 boxes of wheat thins - this tends to draw attention to yourself! ;)
