Target update

Ok, call it bragging....or call it an update. Whatever you call it, I got some SWEET deals today at Target. Here's the breakdown:

First Transaction:
2 - Glade Soy candles (see post below for coupons - these candles are really nice!)
= $3.99 Out of pocket AND earned a $5 Target giftcard

Second Transaction:
1 - J&J baby cotton swabs $1.29 - .75 Target IP AND $1.00 coupon (insert 3/8 RP) - (we'll use these as "grown-up q-tips)
1 - Starbucks candy .90 on clearance - 1.00 coupon (insert ***)
1 - Dry Idea deodorant $2.00 - $2.00 coupon printable from the coupons.com widget on my right hand side bar
1 - 10 pack of Marketplace fruit snacks $1.52 - $1.00 Target IP
1 - pack of Trident White gum .95 (had to buy 'cuz the register beeped, 'cuz the store was going to owe me money and they don't do that!)
= $1.09 - paid for with giftcard earned above

Bottom line: I got 7 items for $3.99 OOP and left with a $3.91 balance on my Target gift card (when you add in the gift card, I only paid .08 for all of that!)

Side note: The woman behind me almost stroked out when the register beeped and the cashier and I had to discuss what I could buy to make the transaction work. The conversation took about 35 seconds, but the DIVA behind me with NO coupons (gasp!), in very expensive, very tight jeans and $500 boots sighed so loudly that I thought one of her lungs had collapsed. This was enhanced by my two year old trying to climb out of the cart to "ride" on the conveyor belt...Ahh, adventures in couponing!

Walgreen's makeup deal

Just a quick update to my earlier post on Walgreen's deals for this week...

Physician's Formula Organic Makeup is on sale 40% off AND is in the EasySaver rebate booklet for this month...Here's what I found at the store:

• Be sure to look at all the end caps around the makeup area - two of my local stores had displays (in odd places, near the pharmacy) for Physician's Formula Organic makeup with a FREE gift (Bronzer with lip gloss OR tinted moisturizer with mascara) - these items ARE 40% off AND you can use the $1 coupon mentioned in my earlier post.
• Bottom line: Sale price $7.19 -$1 coupon = $6.19. Rebate is for sale price $7.19 AND I choose to get my Walgreens rebates on a Wags gift card for the 10% bonus. NET PRICE after coupon and rebate? A PROFIT of $1.72 for tinted SPF 15 moisturizer AND a free mascara!

Pretty cool, huh?
