My Shopping Trip: Target

When I made my trip last night to Target, I had no intention of buying everything I did.  I was actually just going for the Eggos because they are my husband’s favorite.  But, as I was going through my Target Coupons and Printable Coupons, I started finding coupons that would make for even more great deals.  And, so, my Target Trip was born.

I seperated these into 4 transactions and I had my daughter Megan with me.  We each did one, brought the goodies to the car and did a second set.  In my first transaction I did a bunch of those great free offers that are available.  I know a lot of you can only use 1 “like” Target Coupon per transaction.  My Target never has a problem with using more then 1 so I did them all in the first transaction.  If they did have a problem, I could have just separated everything into all the transactions.

Here is what I did:

Transaction 1:

  • (2) Up&Up Sponges – $0.99
  • Maybelline Baby Lips – $2.99
