Drove up to the Ultra at Roosevelt and County Farm Road – very, very nice store (and they didn’t pay me to say that).  Unfortunately, they only had a few of the Extra Crunchy Skippy, so I used them as fillers with creamy in the three Degree transactions I ran.  First one was only deodorant, so .73, get back $5 cat.  Second and third were four Skippy and 6 Degree for an OOP of $4.08; get back $5 cat.  I couldn’t use my cat since the totals were all too little.  I’ll be hitting up the Lombard store tomorrow with MUM for Skippy-only transactions, so will use them then.

Funny aside:  While I was putting the Degree in my cart, an asst mgr looked up from whatever she was doing in the aisle and told me that they had lots more deodorant in back if I wanted it.  I asked her if I smelled that bad (but I was smiling when I said it).

Cross the parking lot to Target for Extra gum –  yes, this stuff is addicting.  Ran two boxes (20 total packs) one time:  .50.  Decided they had plenty, so threw another two boxes in the cart and go over to the next register:  total was -.33.  Yes, that’s right, a negative, which they then handed over to me.  Do not understand it and won’t even try.  Extremely friendly, happy to see a customer get a bargain, cashiers.  Does anybody know if any Targets carry the Key Lime pie?  This Target did not (no product, no shelf tag).

As long as they keep coming, I’ll keep posting ’em!  Don’t forget that you can print out two copies of each coupon per computer (not printer), so if you have access to lots of computers…sweet and i’m jealous!

Nothing says friendship like accompanying MUM to Target for the sole purpose of embarrassing her – well, that’s not part of the actual game plan, just how it always works out…

You see here seven boxes of Tazo tea.  Yes, it’s crazy high to start with and even after the two stacks we’re at .79 for a 20 bag box, but it’s a high quality product, so why not treat yourself?  Isn’t that the whole point of couponing – to save enough for the occasional splurge.

Also picked up 20 packs of Extra Dessert gum.  Coupons read Desserts “or any flavor,” so if you’d prefer, say, spearmint, go for it.  I got mostly the apple pie flavor which is incredible!  Ignore what Rachel has to say about pie-flavored gum…

Gum was free but high tax.  Tea was low tax but .79 each.  I’ve given up on deciphering Target receipts without a Rosetta Stone.

Target has Tazo Tea on temporary price drop for $2.79 (yikes!).  Use the $1 mfr coupon from 9/11 S stacked with this $1 off Tazo tea (exp. 11-5-1) Target coupon for .79 tea.  Note that some areas received a $1.50 – I guess we should be grateful we didn’t get a rock.  If you’re interested, CouponDede has the $1.50 for .15 each.  stole this deal from totallytarget

Awk!  Email just informed me that I must not have posted the Target clearance coupons I used during yesterday’s “purchases.”  Here it is, two Target coupons for $5 off any Mossimo apparel item.  Expiration dates are out over a week, so relax…

Those Target coupons have been burning a hole in my wallet, so decided to check out the 75% off clearance racks in Woodridge.  Got six pairs of shorts for PITA, one top, dress and sweater for her, too.  I threw in a striped top for me that was more than $4.98….so OOP was $2.62.  i’ll live…

Today only, Mossimo Supply Co. juniors bootcut jeans (medium tint wash) are priced at $16 AND on sale buy one get one free. When you add two pairs to your cart a total of $18.40 will be deducted, which brings the final cost down to only $13.60 + FREE shipping. That makes each pair only $6.80.  If you buy three pairs or more, you get an additional 25% discount.  (I added four pairs to the cart and the total was $24).  I would definitely recommend going through the Target ShopAtHome link because you’ll also earn 3% cash back (if you make a purchase within 30 days of signing up for SAH, you get an additional $5 credit).

Goddess note:  I really like these jeans, but have to point out that they do run small, so pick up at least one size larger if you’ve never worn them before.
