Quick Trip to Target

My daughters have been bugging me all day to go to Target. I finally gave in and I'm glad that I did. My plan was to do the Kashi deal. Turns out they were all out of waffles. If you haven't heard about the Kashi waffle deal you can read about it here.

I was able to find another deal. Here's what I got:



The Goods:
3 Suave Lotions 2.89
1 Suave Shampoo .97
1 Suave Conditioner .97
Total: $10.61

Coupons Used:
3 $1.50/1 Target Q
1 $3/2 Suave MQ
1 $1/2 Suave MQ
1 $.50/1 Suave MQ
Total OOP: $1.61 + tax

That averages about $.32 per item. That's a good deal to me.

I dislike hate Wal-Mart

I hardly ever say that I "HATE" someone or something, but I can honestly say "I HATE WAL-MART". Wal-Mart used to be my one stop shopping spot, until today.

Strike #1:
- In June of this year, I spent 2 to 2 1/2 hours shopping (Super Wal-Mart) . I get tons of fantastic deals, only to be turned away because most of my coupons are interned printed. They say they will not accept them and that they are fraudulant. I write a e-mail to corporate and receive tons of apologies and they invite me back to shop with my internet printed coupons. Fine. I give them the benefit and start shopping there again.

Strike #2:
- This Sunday, My family and I stop in for a few groceries. We spend about a hour there. Again, more problems. They say that I can use only one coupon per like item. I'm free to purchase as many items that I have a coupon for, but in seperate transactions. Meaning, If I had 8 boxes of Yogos and 8 coupons, then I wounld have to do 8 seperate transactions. NEGATIVE. Keep your Yogos.

Strike #3:
- I make a quick run into Wal-Mart on my lunch break. Once again I'm turned away because of internet printed coupons. I'm accused once again of coupon fraud.

Three strikes and your out. I'm done. No more Wally World for me. This just took the cake. Wal-Mart definately has the lowest prices around, but their customer service sucks stinks.

Wal-Mart, GET IT TOGETHER!
But I didn't leave empty handed. Here's what I got:

2 Huggies Clean Team Wipes 1.64
4 Pencil Boxes .25

I think I had way to much fun at Wags today. The great part about is that I still have $19 in RR towards my next shopping trip. I can't wait!

I'm Baaaaaaaaak!

I know, I've been M.I.A. for a bit. Well, I'm back and I'm going to "TRY" my best to be a good blogger. Haha!

Things around here have been a little crazy. We are 3 weeks into the school year and football season has started. Since, school started up again I thought that all the madness would die down. Boy, was I wrong!

To Be Continued.....
