My "Target Day"!!!!

Usually once or twice a week I scour the internet and my own coupon box for coupons that match the deals at local stores in Edmond. My favorites are CVS, Homeland, Crest, Target and Walgreen's.

I compiled all my coupons this morning and decided today was my "Target Day."  Target allows you to use a manufacturers coupon as well as Target coupons you can print off their website. I usually prefer to do my bargain shopping when I don't have Jett with me because he has been known to start fussing and then its hard for me to truly focus on my coupon deals. I prayed as we entered the store that God would keep my baby content so I could focus on my plan! Jett couldn't have been any cuter- he played with his feet pretty much the whole time we were in the store. He let out a yelp near the end to remind me that we were past nap time so I quickly headed to the check-out.

I had put quite a bit of thought and preparation into this shopping trip and as I got to the check-out I got a little nervous and then excited! I was hoping and praying that my time spent pouring over coupons and then matching them up with the Target coupons had worked to my advantage as I had planned.

Before coupons, the total was $42.11
 
After coupons, I paid $3.29 out of my own pocket for all the items in this picture!!!

Yes, it does take some time and thought but how fun to get all this stuff for so darn cheap!! I have so much fun doing this! This is my own little ministry- I love donating bags and bags of stuff like this to people who need help!! What good is it in my closets? I can't stand hoarders!!
