Target Shopping Trip

Today I made a quick run to Target and got some great buys! The tortilla wraps were not on sale, but they were a necessity :).

Here's the breakdown:

5 Ocean Spray juices (Light) @ 1.99 ea.
2 jars Pace Picante sauce @ 2.50 ea.
4 baby blankets @ .98 ea.
1 pack tortillas @ 1.74

Used 5 Target 1.00 off coupons for Ocean Spray
and 5 Ocean Spray manufacturer coupons @ 1.00 ea.
These were then FREE!

Used two 4.00 off coupons from the Pace sweeps that I won! This actually applied 3.00 in overage to my other items. So the total after coupons was 2.61(tax was an additional .58!) Pretty amazing :). And now I have some cute baby gifts for the future!

Freebies in the Mail!

  Tuesday was a fun mail day!! Received some freebies in the mail and of course I have to gush a little bit...

First, there was a Johnsonville sausage promotion a couple of months ago at our local grocery store. When you bought three packs of Italian sausage you could use a 3.00 off coupon in their store. So I did that, and combined it with three other 1.00 manufacturer coupons (stacked a man. coupon with a store coupon). Thus I paid 1.33 per pack of sausage, which was a treat because we don't eat it that often.

In addition, Johnsonville had their own promotion going on. If you purchased three packs of their sausage, you could send in a form to receive a FREE cookbook. I thought, hey, why not? At least I could give it as a gift. So I was surprised to receive a real Sandra Lee cookbook!! I honestly expected a little phamplet or something along those lines! This will be a great gift (ahem.... possibly an addition to my own cookbook collection? I need to try more stuff!).

Then I received a coupon for a FREE Del Monte grapefruit dish. That'll be a nice snack :).

Oh, and Pace Picante sauce is having a sweeps which I one for the SECOND time! I won two bottles of Pace!! Each coupon is worth 4.00, so after buying them at 3.59 I even had a little overage applied to my other groceries :).

Happy Saving!

Free Samples of Hyland's Products

Right now we have a baby teething in our home, so it's quite painful for all involved (no pun intended). I was browsing the Hyland's website for a coupon for teething tablets (pretty please???). I wasn't successful in finding a coupon but found some other freebies to request instead. Hyland's is a great homeopathic product... enjoy the freebies! (And make sure you have the RoboForm program downloaded, makes filling out these forms a snap!)
