They say a dollar doesn’t go very far now days – well, hell, it only needs to drive to Target! Picked up two more Air Wick candles, 3 sleepwear clearance items ($10/3 Target q), 13 Secret deodorants, 13 double-bar boxes of Olay bar soap, 8 Purina Whisker Lickins cat treats ($2/2 11/14 R1), and The Sims 3 for wii (price matched to Kmart ad). Original subtotal was about $130, but got down to $108 after the wii price match. Then the coupons came a’rolling along. The very nice cashier asked if I had any coupons. “Am I breathing?” She also remembered me from a previous visit (probably a month or two ago – scary). She was honestly thrilled to see my coupons and asked where I got them. I never have a problem with educating people about the value of the newspaper inserts and in this case I was able to tell her what week the various coupons came from.  it’s a talent i have...

After coupons? $15.88, which I paid using more of my $5 gift cards. I wish they could combine these, because it’s ridiculous to carry around a stack of them.
