| Target shopping trip Tide Stain release (I am hooked on this stuff, it makes the laundry smell sooo good!) $3.99 - used $1.50 Target coupon and $1 coupon = $1.49 2 Tide detergent (single load found in trial section) $.99 used 2 $1 coupons with no size exceptions = free 2 Rite Guard deodorant (trial size) $.82 - used $1.50/2 with no size exceptions = $.14 6 Whiskas cat food $.57 - used 3 B1G1 free coupons = $1.71 Now, do you see that super cute cooler tote in the back? This is where my shopping trip went astray...which happens EVERY time I walk into Target. Target, why must you force me to spend money at your wonderful store? I "talked" myself into buying it because I would "need" it for camping this weekend and I would "need" it for adventures with the kids... anyway, because of this cute addition my shopping adventure went from $2.12 to $20.27. It's really cute though, right? |
