Target

So Super K and I did a little midnight shopping without the kids last night and we scored big. Along with all my cereal and crackers like Super K got at Savemart I scored at Target. I was able to get 4 Schick Hydro 5, 5 Schick Hydro 3 razors and 9 bottles of Edge shaving cream. Retail on all of these item is $90.00 and what would a Super Coupon Gal pay? Only $5.70. The tax!!

SAVEMART SUPER SAVINGS

So my buddy in my fight to save money Super S and I went out to see what kind of deals we could get with our stash of coupons. We saw that cereals and crackers were on sale at Savemart so we started there. If you buy ten items from their $2.77 sale you will only pay $1.77 and then get a ten dollar coupon for your next purchase. We then turned around and bought 10 more items for the $1.77 price and used our coupons and the ten dollar coupon we just received and spent 2.70 for 10 boxes of cereal. I also spent 2.70 on 10 boxes of Cheezits. There were coupons on the boxes for $1 off 2 boxes, so we used 5 coupons. We also found a money maker on Wheatables crackers. In the store they had coupon books with 1.00 off one package of Wheatables. If you get 10 of those coupons and buy 10 boxes that would be $.77 each box and if you use a 10 dollar coupon from a previous transaction you will make $2.30. so buy something else to cover that money since they don't usually give you money to shop. I did get 30 cents back for buying crackers at the self check out, but usually they do not give you money back. It all depends on the cashier. So if you have money coming back to you after your coupon extravaganza, add something else to get that item cheaper, or free.ENJOY

Coupon classes

I would love to teach coupon techniques to you!!! If you are interested please let us know. We will be starting classes in the Sacramento area.

Target RAZORS

So today I went to Target and scored some summer packs of a venus razor olay body wash and olay lotion for a whopping .48cents. Here is what you do you can use a $2.00 off venus razor coupon a dollar off coupon for the olay lotion and a dollar coupon for the body wash. Then I saw on there Hydro Shave Gel for men a $5.00 coupon if you buy the razor and shave gel the Gel is $1.99 and the razor is $6.99. I had the 5.00 coupon from the shave gel and a 4.00 off coupon from the paper so it was free.

Safeway SCORE

OK, so today I went to Safeway for their cereal and granola bar sale. Here is my receipt and a picture of everything I got for $12.18. I had 4 grumbling boys (my husband went too) with me so I bought them some candy to make it easier on my self so I was able to score an even better deal. I ended up buying:

8 boxes of cereal
8 bags of Granola clusters
minute maid fruit juice boxes
4 boxes of candy
1 bag of pretzel
2 avocados
1 gallon of milk

Target Clearance

Target has a Whole bunch of Clearance right now. I saw Toys, razors and Tide stain booster.I saw the Tide stain booster was a double pack on clearance for $9.00 You can use your $1.50 Target coupon and $3.00 manufacturers coupon for A grand total of $4.50 for a double pack. I also saw razor packs with skintimate shave cream on clearance for $7.50 and there is a $2.00 off coupon for the razor so that is $5.50 for a razor and shave cream, but if you keep a watch these are sure to fall in price. Keep your eyes peeled and your coupon binders with you, because as these items go on clearance you will find your coupons will make for some cheap if not free items. If you have kids I know Christmas is 5 months away but watch the toys and put them up for Christmas. The savvy coupon shopper builds a stock pile while prices are low. There is a fine line between stocking up and hoarding. The other thing to think about when you come across great bargains is donating. If you get to much of a Stockpile on cereal or Razors think of donating to charities.

Target Coupons

So if you don't check Target.com for printable coupons head on over. You really should print there coupons as soon as possible since they go away after so many people print them. Do not forget you can combine target coupons with manufacturers coupons, and just to let you know a few months back I noticed a coupon for 5.00 off a Merona purse and printed it 2 hours later no more coupon they had so many people printing it they took it down. Also I gave that coupon to a friend since I had just bought 2 purses and she got a FREE purse. Since the one she liked was on clearance for 4.74 cents. Go check it out I recommend the1.00 off clean and clear coupon and the 3.00 off Green Works laundry soap. The clean and clear can be combined with the 2.00 off coupon from there website and the Green Works I have a 3.00 off Manufacturers coupon.

Target Markdown schedule

Since I am addicted to Target, and you will find that I shop there A LOT. I thought it would be useful information for you to have. I am posting the Target markdown schedule. Why you ask??? For the Savvy coupon shopper this is very useful information. I like to shop Target clearance with my coupons since this helps my OOP (Out of Pocket) stay low. This helps me get my 85% or more savings. For example I had 3.00 off coupon for Mens Nivea Soap. I happened to see this product on clearance, but there was a lot on clearance so I waited and went back and found it for 2.74. Free is always better. :)

MONDAY: Kids Clothing, Office Supplies, Electronics, Baby
TUESDAY: Domestics, Food, Women’s Clothing, Pets
WEDNESDAY: Men’s Clothing, Toys, Health and Beauty, Lawn and Garden
THURSDAY: Housewares, Shoes, Lingerie, Sporting Goods, Music, Movies, Books, Luggage
FRIDAY: Auto, Cosmetics, Hardware, Jewelry
