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.)
