My coupon shopping to today

First I went to Target and got 6 boxes on 20 count Excedrin for a total of $1.29. I got 2 boxes of Up and Up ibuprofen  for $.49 each.  I got 2 packs of baby wipes for $1.29.  All these coupon are at http://www.target.com/

I also got 4 travel size bottles of Visine for free and I did notice that the North side Target has a lot of clearance especially in maternity and Target has a Liz Lange $3 off coupon so that would make for some cheap maternity clothes.

I also got a LOT of Easter candy at Walgreens for about 50% off with my coupons. 

Fisher Price coupons

Go here to print off Fisher Price toy coupons.  I will be holding on to mine in hopes they go on a great sale or clearance.

Menards Crazy days

I went to Menards today because it's the start of their "crazy days" sale that always last fri-sun.  They usually have a lot of good rebate deals.  I went in with $20.50 in rebate money.  Today I got 2 hammers for $.99, 1 chalk tube for free, 2 30-packs of batteries for $.98 each, 1 big box of contractor trash bags for $2.99, 1 container of toilet bowl cleaner for $.99, 4 door knobs for $1.99 each, 4 wrenchs for $.49 each and 3 packs of gum for $1 each.  The store was really busy so I was happy to find most of the things on my list.  They were all out of store flyers by the time I got there at 2:20pm on Friday. 

Hamburger meat at Target?

So I happened to be at the east side Target today and low and behold...it was done.  There are freezer aisles and a produce section.  There is refrigerator aisles and specialty breads.  And there is the meat section.  It was so weird to see that.  I went to check out and I had bananas and hamburger meat and I thought I was in another store.  It feels like I'm at a Target in a larger city.  But now Evansville finally has a super Target (well not quite) and we couponers can now use all those great Target store coupons on fruits and veggies.  The store is structured mostly the way it was before.  AND GET THIS.  They have all brand new carts.  I don't know why I'm excited about that.  I don't get out much but I dig the new carts.  So in this trip I bout 4 boxes of Excedrin (regulary $6 each) and I paid $2 each.  That was my only good buy.  I just wanted to go in and see the new store and check their prices.  I think their prices will range more like Schnucks and not as cheap as Walmart.  But with Target you can stack store coupons with manufacturer coupons so that will help greatly.

My shopping trip today

Today I went to the Posey County Thrift Shop in Mount Vernon and they had a sale for all their clothing at 3 for $1.  AWESOME.  So I bought $8.20 worth.  My mom bought $12 worth.  So we did well.  I bought for 4 different people (none for me though).  Except my mom did get me a winter coat for $.33.  I guess she can afford that.  I love it.  Tomorrow all their clothing will be 4 for $1.  They do this twice a year to change over all their seasonal clothing. 

Then I went to CVS in Mount Vernon and was able to get Colgate toothpaste, shaving gel and Allegra allergy pills for free and a Schick razor for $1.79.  I also got 4 snickers easter candy eggs for $.25. They did not even make it home.  My son and I ate them up.  Sorry I didn't get the stores deals posted Sat.  I'm back to having only one computer in our house and I'm always the last to get it. But that will be fixed in the next few days.
