Target Trip #1
I actually made 2 Target trips last week because I needed cold medication halfway through the week. It worked out because those new coupons came out midweek making that cereal deal even better.
Pretzel Crisps $1.99- used $1 coupon= $.99
8 Boxes Crunchy Nut Cereal $2.75- Used (2) $4/4 cereal coupons + (2) $1/3 Target cereal coupons
2 boxes NutriGrain bars $2.50- Used $1/2 coupon + $1/2 Target coupon
My subtotal after coupons was $15.99 but I had the $5 gift card from the last cereal transaction
So I paid $10.99 and got back $10 in gift cards!
Target Trip #2 $2.80
And today I stopped back by the check prices and got the following:
2 Market Pantry Whole Wheat Pasta $.98- Used $1/2 coupon= $.48
2 Market Pantry Pasta Sauce $1.00- Used $1/2 coupon= $.50
Pretzel Crisps $1.99- used $1 coupon= $.99
2 Archer Farms Whole Wheat bread $2.50- used $1.2 Target coupon= $2 each
Irish Cheddar Cheese $3.99
6 cans of Market Pantry Soup $.64- used (2) $1/3 coupons= .31 each
Subtotal was $12.80 and I used those $10 gift cards
Now most of the Target stuff is actually for a food drive at school. I just set aside $10 in total to see how much I could get. I still have two weeks to pick a few things up here and there and I will post what I came up with for the $10 once I am done.
So the grand total was $48.56.
And here is the menu plan for the week:
- Aged Cheddar and Cauliflower Soup with french bread
- Steak Bites and Salad
- Baked Chicken Parmesan and leftover salad
- Grilled Tilapia with mango and rice
- Chicken Taco Rice (from Simple & Delicious magazine)
- Grilled Heirloom Tomato Pizza
I also made up a big batch of iced coffee this weekend.

Yuseline,
It was a promotion last week to get $5 for every 5 items purchased. The sale has ended though.
