Manic Monday: Target 8-17-08

It’s Manic Monday again…the day I run around like a crazy woman trying to get all of my errands done. I didn’t make it this time because I had a meeting in the morning and by the time I ran the errands that were close by, we were too tired to want to do any more. We had a great trip to Target, though. Here’s what we ended up with:

FREE food at Target!

Same stuff...different picture.

I BOUGHT:

1 (large) box of wheat thins (Free with 3 Kraft items)

1 16 oz. bottle of Kraft dressing (Free with 3 Kraft items)

1 12 oz. package of Kraft singles (Free with 3 Kraft items)

1 package of Crystal Light (Free with 3 Kraft items)

1 Oscar Mayer Beef Franks (Free with 3 Kraft items)

15 individual servings of Kraft cheese ($0.32-$0.59 each)

16 Metrx Bars ($1.17 each, 8 coupons for $2 off 2)

2 Johnson baby shampoo samples ($0.99 each, $1 coupons)

4 Clean & Clear samples ($0.97-0.99 each, 2-$3 off 2 coupons)

1 Shout wipes sample ($1.02 – $1.00 coupon)

2 All Mighty laundry samples ($1.00 each – $1 each coupons)

1 Dove deodorant sample ($0.89, $1 coupon)

1 3 ring binder for coupons ($2.99)

Not pictured: 1 prescription ($4), 1 free smoothie, 1 gift card for $10 for prescription transfer, and two of the Protein bars and two cheeses because we ate them before we made it home.

USED all of the coupons listed above, plus a Target $5 off of $25 food purchase coupon.

EARNED a $10 gift card.

I paid $8.24 not counting the medicine or gift card, but there are some mistakes. The cashier charged me for 19 Protein bars instead of 16, so I paid $3.51 too much there.  I thought that the binder was $3.99, but she charged me $2.96 so I owe $1.03 there.

I paid $4.64 for this order, not counting the $4 spent on a prescription or $10 gift card I received for transferring the prescription.

(The FREE Kraft with purchase coupons came from this months ALL YOU magazine, available at Wal-mart for $1.97.)  Wal-mart discounts the magazine to $1.77.  Kool-aid and Jello also work to qualify you for the FREE Kraft items.
