$145 Target trip for $29

I said that I was going to cut back on shopping and stockpiling, and then I had a relapse today! Target had way too much stuff on sale, and I had way too many coupons burning a hole in my coupon binder. I did 4 separate transactions, because I needed to make sure that my first transaction worked out the way I hoped.

$145 worth of product at Target for less than $30. That's pretty extreme to me!

      The coupons were for $1.50 off of 2 and $1.00 off of 2. I bought 4 total bags of that sale priced candy, so I was able to use 2 manufacturer coupons (and I had one target coupon that I stacked on top of one of the manufacturer coupons). You may only use one MQ (manufacturer coupon) per item (or group of items as indicated in the coupon, off of 2, off of 3, etc). I used 2 different coupons because each one had a limit of "one per transaction" also. You have to read the fine print on coupons.
