Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Target? And how much I LOVE Kashi? Well, put the two together and I just go a little bit overboard. Okay, maybe “a little bit” is a bit of an understatement.
I hit Target early this afternoon with my friend Stephanie and got 34 boxes of cereal… yes, 34 boxes! And I almost bought more. In fact, I might go back for more! 
I really have no idea where I’m going to store all of this cereal, but we love it so much that I just couldn’t resist.
On top of the cereal, I got several boxes of Kashi cereal bars, granola bars, cookies, 4 Pictureka card games, 5 pizzas, several of the Eggo Bake Shop, 8 bags of veggies, small Dryer’s ice cream cartons (they were 19¢ each after the Target coupon), and 6 packages of the Bare by Solo plates. I had free product coupons for the Jennie-O turkey and the DiGiorno. By the way, the Jennie-O ground turkey was on price cut down to $2.99 at my store, so by using the $5 coupon that was available a couple of months ago, I got $2 in overage on that. The only item I got without a coupon was the Tom’s of Maine deodorant, because that’s what I use and it was a decent price.
The great thing about this trip is that the only coupons from the newspaper inserts that I used were the ones for the 4 trial size Banana Boat Sunscreens! All other coupons were ones that I printed online, or that I received in the mail (from an offer that I signed up for online).
So how much would all of this have cost regularly? $299.44
How much did I pay for it? $64.62!
That’s a savings of 78%!!
Even though I didn’t have enough $1.50/1 manufacturer coupons for the Kashi cereal, I figured it was worth it to stock up since they were $1.08 a piece with just the Target coupons! Like I said, we love Kashi cereal. (And no, I don’t get paid to say that.)

I was at target today and tried to get the small ice cream cartons and they wouldn't accept the coupon. The cash register beeped and they said I didn't have the product. I pointed out that I DID have it and she said "it must be for the bigger cartons." I politely pointed out that the coupon doesn't specify a size. She seemed to not care, so I didn't purchase them.

On the Kashi Target coupons it says one per guest. Do they enforce that? Did you really have to go through the line 30 times?
[Reply]
Did you purchase everything in one transaction or multiple ones? I always worry that the cashier won't let me use several of the same Target coupon all in one transaction.
[Reply]
I was able to purchase everything in one transaction, but I am always more than willing to separate it all if they want me to.
When I go up to the cashier I say, "Hi! I have a WHOLE lot of coupons… do I need to separate all of this into separate tranactions?" And every single time they have said "Oh, that's ok, I can do it all in one."
In saying that, each time I am more than willing to separate it all… yes, do 30 transactions… if they say that I need to. But I've never had an instance where they have.

Suzette,
Your Target should have taken the coupon for the ice creams. I would recommend calling customer service while you are in line next time and they can get it straightened out. Customer service's number is: 1-800-440-0680

Did you have any problem with the coupons scanning? Neither my IPs nor the Target IPs scanned automatically and she had to put each coupon in manually. Although I didn't buy as much as you, I probably had 20 or more coupons.

Did you leave any cereal there for me.Lol!!!!good job.
[Reply]
I love it!!!

I just went a spent $10.06 and saved $34.11. I had to do a few trans, but it was well worth it! I might go back and get some more cereal since you can't beat B1G1! I LOVE TARGET DEALS!
