Out of town!

We are spending a much needed week in FL, visiting family, so I'm not going to be posting the deals this week.  But, be sure to check out the AMAZING deals at CVS this week.  They are running some specials that end tomorrow, so check them out!  Even though we are on vacation, I still made sure to hit up CVS today for the deals.  I don't have time to blog about them or take a picture, but just know there are some great ones.  The best ones were...Colgate Total Toothpaste, Clearasil Face Wash, Sobe Life Water, Post Trail Mix Cereal, Bandaids, and Playtex Tampons.  

I will be back in town next weekend, so I will be sure to start blogging the deals when I return.  I hope you guys are finding these posts helpful!  I will most likely be changing my page a bit in the coming days and devoting it solely to money saving tips and weekly store deals.  What do you think?

Have a wonderful Memorial Day!!  

And if you haven't checked out my new blog, spend some time now!  http://infertilitystory.blogspot.com/

They are $1.99 per lb., so go get as many packs as you can hold in your freezer! :) Chicken prices will be going up in the near future (thanks to the recession) so you need to stock up now.

Target Deals

I've decided that Target is not my favorite place to get deals....I mean, don't get me wrong, I LOVE Target and they do run good sales, but not a very coupon friendly place. I just got back from trying to get some deals there and the cashier was not very good. She tried to tell me that you can't "stack" a target coupon with a manufacturer's coupon...but you can!! So, I didn't get much, but thought I would share anyway.

Here's what I got:

1. 2 Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs (I had to do 2 separate transactions for this, since the target coupon is one per transaction) - $2.04 each - Use $1 Target coupon and $1 manufacturer coupon) = $.04 each

• Manufacturer Coupon - http://print.coupons.com/couponweb/Offers.aspx?pid=13927&zid=ym31&nid=10&bid=alk0515150533nepnt31618210

3. Travel Size Dove Deodorant - $.97 - Use $1.25 coupon from paper = FREE

**Grand Total: $.08
