I just got back from Target. I spent $3.72 on $9.35 worth of stuff. Here is what I bought…

• All 2x Trial Size (2 loads) – normally $1.02, used $1 off coupon here and got it for $0.02
• Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate – reduced at $0.97, used $1 off Target coupon here and got it for free
• Nestle Toll House Semi-sweet Morsels – reduced at $1.78, used $1 off coupon here and got it for $0.78
• 3M Command Hooks 2 pack – normally $2.94, used $1 off coupon here [PDF] and $1 off Target coupon here and got it for $0.94
• Gift Tags – normally $0.99, a great deal without coupons or sales
• Crispy Santas 3 pack – normally $1, a great deal without coupons or sales

I also went to Walmart hoping to get some great deals. Nothing much there. I did get some more $1 candy for the stockings. Also they have Lunchables for $1.25! I bought 2 and used 2 $0.55 off coupons which I got here. That made them $0.70 each, which is great since Liam refuses to eat any meat other than the Ham Lunchables. He is a very, very, very, VERY picky eater!

I had to go to Shaw’s today. I don’t have enough pumpkin to make my family pumpkin pie recipe and pumpkins are no longer available. So I am making a pumpkin cheese cake. So I needed to go to Shaw’s to get two packs of cream cheese. I had a 55¢ off 2 coupon which I got from Kraft. Once I got to the store I found out that Shaw’s was having a sale on Philadelphia Cream Cheese, Buy One Get One Free. The cream cheese was $1.99 normally. So that would be $1.99 for two. I used the coupon, which was doubled, and got two Philadelphia Cream Cheese for just 89¢!!!

I just bought 4-24oz boxes of Kellogg’s Frosted Mini Wheats for just $5.87! Target has a price cut on all the Kellogg’s cereals. Prices vary, but most of the smaller boxes were about $2.66/each. The 24oz Frosted Mini Wheats were $3.29/each. So how did I get it so cheap? They also have a buy 3 get 1 free special and I used coupons. You can get 3 Target $1 off 1 coupons here. And you can get other coupons at coupons.com and the Kellogg’s website. You can use store coupons and manufacturers coupons together which is something I just learned about.
