Deal #1:
Planters Nuts.
Now, nuts in general are expensive. And we eat a lot of them. I tend to stick to the Market Pantry brand, because they are usually cheaper. However, in the Target ad today, you could get a $5.00 Target gift card for buying three cans of Planters Nuts (a variety to choose from) that were on sale for $5.79 each. I bought three, totaling $17.37. I had a coupon for $2.00 off two cans of Planters Nuts, bringing it down to $15.37. Then I got 5% off for using my 5% off card for refilling 5 prescriptions at the Target pharmacy (I get one of these every couple of months). Then I got another 5% off for using my Target Red Debit Card, bringing it down to $13.84. THEN, I got 10% off because Planters were in the Cartwheel app, bringing it down to $12.46. And then they gave me a $5.00 gift card, bringing it down to $7.46. So I essentially paid $2.48 per can. Excellent! That's more than 50% savings.
Deal #2 was a nice surprise. Charmin Toilet Paper was on my list. It was on sale for $12.99, and you got a free 3 pack of Puffs tissues with purchase. I was thinking the free item was the little purse packs, but nope. It was the big boxes:
Totally free! One box for me to take to work, one box for my husband to take to work, and one box for my mother-in-law. These weren't on my list because I already have a couple of spare boxes of tissue in the cabinet, but they were completely free!
Deal #3 was mostly a coupon deal. A few Sundays ago, there was a coupon for $4.00 off any Almay cosmetic. $4 off!! That's a lot in the coupon world.
I got this tube of mascara.
Regular price is $4.99. Minus the $4.00 coupon, bringing it down to .99. Minus my 5% off prescription card, minus 5% for using my Target Debit Card, I paid a grand total of .89. Big spender, huh?
There were some other good deals going on too that I took advantage of, stocking up on things we need (like Up & Up brand makeup remover wipes....buy 3, get one free. This is the brand I use exclusively too!).
I think I solely keep Target in business. And I love that I can help out my mother-in-law a little. Usually once every couple of weeks I get to hand her a small Target bag full of free and/or heavily discounted goodies. :)
