Target Shopping This Week...Nothing OOP

I went to Target earlier this week and I brought $65 in free Target gift cards with me when I went.  One of these was gotten from cashing in some credit card points and the others(in $5 and/or $10 increments)were free incentives from purchasing various items at Target in past trips.

They have a "Spend $50 on food/beverage, Get a $10 Target Gift Card" coupon this week.
There were a few things I needed this week(cream cheese, rolls and eggs for Easter)so I figured I'd do the bulk of my grocery shopping this week at Target because nothing beats shopping for free! lolz

I got--
24 Hawaiian rolls=$5.49
12 Hawaiian rolls=$3.00
1 bag blue tortilla chips=$2.79
1 box Whole Earth sweetener=$3.19
1 tomato=$1.29(needed this for lunch that day)
4 dozen eggs=$2.00
1 bag salad=$1.49*Had a 50¢ sticker which the cashier missed-I'll go back at a later date to get that .50¢ back*
4 boxes cream cheese=$5.96


3 bags Starbucks coffee=$17.97
4 6-packs diet Pepsi bottles=$12.00

Before Qs this subtotaled....$55.18

I had a $1.50/1 ManuQ for the Whole Earth and a $3/2 ManuQ for the Starbucks coffee so $4.50 off makes my total $50.68.
I earned the $10 Target gift card on all this.

I also bought.......

4 boxes of Q-tips on sale $2.99=$11.96  Q-tips is one of the few items we are "brand loyal" about.
Earning the $5 Target gift card for these makes them $1.74 per box.  Even without using Qs that's a good price. 8-)

Everything bought--
$55.18 + $11.96 + .12¢ tax=$62.76 OOP.
I paid with $62.76 of Target free gift cards so Zero OOP for all.

I earned back a $10 gift card(for spending $50 on food/beverages)and a $5 gift card(for buying 4 Qtips).

I sent for a free $5 Starbucks e-gift card when I got home HERE(incentive for buying 3 Starbucks coffee bags in one trip).  I'll probably give this to the nephew for his upcoming birthday since I don't "do" Starbucks.

I also submitted for a $2 cash rebate for the Whole Earth sweetener and a .25¢ cash rebate for any item you bought on Ibotta.
I also submitted for a .25¢ cash rebate for the Salad on Checkout51.

So I bought home all the above for $62.76 in free gift cards and earned $15 in new free gift cards(plus $5 for Starbucks)and $2.50 in cash rebates so the effective price for everything above was $45.26(if I had paid for the gift cards). *Once I get my .50¢ back for the discount sticker on the salad the effective price for all will be $44.76

I am off now to go get my free turkey breast from Weis(PMITA)Markets since I have 50 gas points.  This will go into the freezer for later as I am defrosting the ham I also got for free from Weis with gas points at Christmas time.  8-)

Did you hit Target or some other store and get any good deals on groceries this week?

Saturday Shopping


First off I stopped in at Rite-Aid before leaving the mountain to finish off the Kimberly-Clark Get $8 +Ups wyb $20 Deal.....


1 x Scott TP on sale=$7.74
I used a $1/1 Scott ManuQ(Sunday inserts).....$7.74-$1=$6.74
I used $6 in +Up Rewards and paid .74¢ OOP.
And I got the $8 +Up Reward.

Before this transaction this wellness card had 902 pts. on it so getting to 1000 pts. before 12/31 will be a snap......a snap I tell ya!  8-)

Next it was a trip to Target.
Yes, you heard that correctly, "I" went to Target of all places.
Let's just say that I NEVER go to Target!
Not after I had a dreadful experience there trying to use coupons in 2009 or so.

Well you could have knocked me over with an IPQ I was so shocked to have a very good experience this time.
The store has changed a bit and doesn't throw off the negative energy like it did before.
That and the shelves were not bare from other people running the deals and even though it was a Saturday afternoon the place wasn't uber crowded....not even a little crowded.
And the cashier was friendly and knew the coupon policy.
Oh my heart......

I may just add Target back into my shopping rotation of stores again.  I don't think the deals are as good as some other places usually and it requires me to go down into the city so I won't be going there much.
But it's back on the list.

Here are the deals I did there today--
I had a $5 gift card from a many years old deal I did there back in 2009.
I also had a $25 gift card that #2 Son gave me this Summer.

Transaction #1

2 x Playtex tampons on sale $6.99=$13.98
I got a $5 gift card back for buying this.


5 x Lysol toilet cleaner on sale $1.97=$9.85

I used the old $5 gift card making the total $10.83.
I used part of the $25 gift card to pay the balance of $11.01($10.83+.18¢ tax)
Zero OOP and 2 new $5 gift cards.

I used the 2 x $5 gift cards......$33.94-$10.00=$23.94(no tax on food)
I used what was left on the $25 gift card($11.90)& paid $12.04 cash OOP.

And I have $10 in gift cards left.

After gift cards I got and coupons, the tampons were .99¢ a box, the toilet cleaner was .77¢ a bottle and the coffee was $3.99 a bag.
The tampons are for Daughter, the toilet cleaner for us and the coffee for Hubs so everything was needed and/or wanted and will get used.

Goods worth $91.75 reg. retail for $12.04 OOP and $10 in gift cards at Target.

We also picked up some clearance clothing(for Hubs and #2 Son)and 2 packages of no nitrites OM hot dogs on clearance for $3 a package so an additional $6 of the food budget did get spent as well.

Total all food & toiletries OOP today.....$18.78
