Target: $6.59

I didn’t need cereal but I wanted to test the deal I posted earlier.  Not as good as I thought it would be since the cereal runs $2.66-3.66 each AND you can only use (3) $1 Target coupons.  Believe it or not but I paid $1.48 for 4 boxes which is above my buy price of .25 per box 🙂

Mr Potato Head $3.49- used $2/1 printable
2 Marshmellows .99- used $1/2 Target coupon
Gerber Rice Cereal $1.54
Coffeemate $1.87- used $1 printable
(4) Cereal- used (2) $1 coupons, used (1) $1.50/2 coupon and used (3) $1 Target coupons

    Where did you get the Tyson add for the Beef Sirloin?

    It was a coupon I got awhile ago- I don’t think it is available anymore. I usually hold free coupons until I can really maximize them- like getting 2 free in this case.

    Do you have a Bakery Outlet (Orowheat or the like) near you? I finally went into one in our city last week and I was shocked at the great/cheap food there! I got a lg package of flour tortillas, lg pack of corn tortillas, pack of Orowheat sandwich thins (buns), and a box of Little Dutch Boy cookies for about $6.50, plus I got a free loaf of white bread (usually free if you spend over $7 but since it was toward the end of the day and they still had a bunch of the white loaves left she gave it to me! Not the most nutritious, but I gave it my neighbors, a bunch of single/college kids, they were happy). I also got a coupon for a free item for my next trip and racked up the $$ points for my other free item buyer card. This will definitely become a regular stop for me!

    No I don’t. Probably for the best since I LOVE bread. Would be a regular there.

    I got a $1 off coupon for Plackers in my inserts today…just wondering if you got one and forgot to use it at CVS?

    I don’t know if I had a new cashier or what, but I was about to use 4 X $1 target cereal coupons…I ended up getting 4 boxes for $0.45 and then 4 boxes for free.

    I checked and it wasn’t in my insert. Bummer.

    What are Plackers?

    It is a little floss thing. A handheld one. There are 90 to a pack so I thought .99 was a good deal. Free would have been better.

    I also did the Target cereal deal and wasn’t able to use the 4th $1 off Target coupon, too. Additionally, all my manufacturer’s coupons came off on the printed receipt, but somehow didn’t actually come off my total! Thankfully, there was a SUPER NICE customer service guy who worked with me and gave me my $8 back!
