Target shopping trip

Hi everyone!
Today is my second day, and still trying to customize the blog to my liking. (yes! I’m a newbie!) I’m learning as I go along.
I thought it be a good idea to write about my new-found passion for couponing. While I’m no expert, (compared to what you might have recently seen on TV) I am getting quite good at it. I really don’t get why I wasn’t doing this before. It’s amazing how much you save with a little planning before your shopping trip.
I had several coupons from target that I have been hoarding around, and anxious to use them, I checked out what they had on sale, and I put together a short shopping list:
· Pantyliners
· Danimals smoothies
· Baby wipes
· Liz Lange apparel
I knew what I wanted to get, but I decided to walk around each aisle and see what other un-advertised sales they had. I was walking down the toy aisle, and I saw the adorable B.Parum Pum Pum drum marked down from $21.99 to $15. and I just had to get it for my son.
Next, I headed down to the clothing department and what do you know!!! They had a huge clearance section. It seemed as though luck was on my side because I spotted a pretty dress, and to top things off, it was a Liz Lange dress! Originally priced at $24.99, it was on clearance for $6.24. top that with my coupon the price was $3.24!
I was so excited about my store finds, but I didn’t want to over spend, so I got the rest of the things on my list, and headed to the register.
This is what my total purchase looked like:
· Up & Up refill wipes $1.87 {-.75 Target Coupon)
· Up & Up panty liners $.87 {-.75 Target Coupon)
· Danimals Smoothies 6ct $2.49 (-$1 Target Coupon + $1 Manufacturer Coupon}
· Dress (originally 24.99) $6.24 {$3 Target coupon}
· B.Parum Pum Pum drum (originally 21.99) $15.00 {no coupon :( }
It all came to a total of $23.69 ($2 extra, I forgot to mention I also got cars marshmallows for the kids)
Not bad! I saved a total of $30.52 including discounted prices and coupons!
