Free Stuff Friday

Let me just preface this post by letting you know that I love coupons.

I love clipping them, but only when I plan to USE them.

I love the fact that I can save money, get stuff I need & use, and save money.

Wait, I already said that?

Crap.

Well, still... I love to save money.

I love being able to get food and misc other things that we need at a discount.

Here's my story of savings today... 

Scored these today at Publix. 

They are $6.99 each.

I have to shave.

I am a hairy beast.

Though I will not complain, because I will likely never be a bald adult lady.... praise Jesus.

I was actually at the end of the good part of the current razor I have.

I was waiting for a sale with coupons.

JACKPOT!

I had a Publix coupon from their sales flyers for $3 off 2 packs of razors.

I love I heart Publix for coupon deals at Publix.

I also found 2 manufacturer's coupons for $2 off 1 pack and $1 off 1 pack.

So, basically I got a free pack of razors today. 

4 razors for $.99.... deal.

And my husband will appreciate that I shave my armpits and legs!

I also planned a trip to Target.

I used Totally Target to coordinate my store and manufacturers coupons.

I also use that site to see what deals are offered with gift cards when you purchase goods!

So, the diapers are $34.99. 

I had a Target coupon for $2 off and Pampers coupon for $2 off.

Plus there was a $25 coupon booklet inside the box of diapers!

AND, Target was giving you a $5 gift card with each diaper purchase.

Score.

I knew Dunkin Donuts coffee was on sale, so I used $.75 off coupons for those too.

Got those for $6 each.  Expensive, yes.  But SO good.

Starbucks coffee was $7.99 each. 

I had 2 Starbucks coupons for $3 off 2 packs.

AND Target was giving you a $5 gift card with a purchase of 2 packs.

So.... I got 4 packs of Starbucks coffee for $26. 

AND I got 2 $5 gift cards. 

Hello, Christmas gifts for my cousins!

M&Ms... they were $2.79 a bag.

I had 2 coupons for a total of $2.50 off. 

Basically, free chocolate.  This is a no brainer.

Dark Knight Rises is a gift for the hubs for Christmas.  FREE with all my gift cards and coupons...

Oxi Clean wasn't on sale, but I had a Target coupon and an Oxi Clean coupon.

So I got 2 stain removers for $1.99.  Basically, 1.5 for FREE.

We needed the Target brand Pedialyte.

And the Huggies wipes.... on sale for $8.99.

I had a Target coupon and a Huggies coupon. 

I got wipes for $6.99.

Yippee!

OH! 

Target also had a coupon on their website and you got a $10 gift card if you spent $50.

Shoot, I got that done!

I saved a total of $47.15 with the various Target sales & coupons.

I got $25 in gift cards to use on another purchase later.

I spent $107.89.

Between my savings and the gift cards I got back I spent a total of $35.74.

That's just a smidge more than the diapers cost at the beginning of the whole trip.

So thank you Target & Totally Target for the massive savings today.
