The Deal of the Week

Hello... My name is... and I'm addicted to couponing.

It's true!  I love seeing how much I can take off that total at the end of a shopping trip.  And while I'm not in league with those folks on "Extreme Couponing"  (yet), I love a good bargain!  This week it was Target.  I enjoy couponing at Target because you can use one Target coupon, and one manufacturer's coupon on the same item - therefore increasing your savings. 

What sort of bargains did I pick up this week?

1 Nivea body wash:
regular cost - $3.04
manufacturer's coupon - $3.00
my cost - $0.04!

1 Nivea body wash:
regular cost - $2.54
manufacturer's coupon - $3.00
my cost - -$0.46 (yes!  negative! I actually made money on this one!)

2 packages Skittles candy: (for the Easter baskets)
regular cost - $1.38 ($0.69 each)
manufacturer's coupon - $1.00 off 2
my cost- $.038 ($0.19 each)

4 packs Orbits gum:
regular cost:  $3.96 ($0.99 each)
2 manufacturer's coupons: $1.00 off 2 packs
Target coupon: $.075 off 1 pack
my cost: $1.21 (about $0.30 each)

Glade scented oil refill twin pack:
regular cost: $4.99
manufacturer's coupon: $1.00
Target Coupon: $1.00
my cost: $2.99

  1. Those are great deals, but please don't turn into one of those lunatics from that show that seems to need 50 jars of Ragu in their garage!

  2. I am also turning into a coupon nut! I have acquired quite a few things for free lately! and I agree - Target, Publix and CVS are the best, because they let you stack coupons!
