My Weekly Target Shopping Trip (Spent $15, Saved $54 + Earned $10 Gift Cards)

by Christy on March 14, 2013 in Shopping Trips

It was another great week for shopping at Target!   I spent $15.26 (before tax) for $69.19 worth of items.   Plus, I earned $10 in gift cards.

I found some great clearance deals and I took advantage of the Unilever gift card promo. So many people have been reporting that the Buy One Get One FREE coupons have been taking off of the full value of the coupon and not the actual price of the product, and the same happened to me (I can’t guarantee the same will happen for everyone).

  • Suave shampoo coupon took off $5.00
  • Degree/Clear coupon took off $6.99

Here are how the deals worked for me:

Up & Up Ibuprofen (24 ct) $ .99 ~ Buy 2
$2/2 ShopKick mobile coupon
Final Price = 2 FREE

(4) Suave Professionals Keratin Shampoo or Conditioner $3.49
(1) $1/1 Target printable coupon (no longer available)
(2) Buy One Get One FREE coupon from 3/10 Red Plum insert (regional) -$5.00
Pay = $2.96
Get $5 Target gift card when you buy 4
Final Price = FREE ($2.04 overage)
**Can’t guarantee your coupons will take $5 off, see match-up HERE

(2) Men’s Clear Scalp Therapy Shampoo or Conditioner $4.99
(2) Degree Twin-Pack Deodorant $3.99 

(2) FREE Clear Men Scalp Therapy when you buy any Degree coupon from 3/10 Red Plum insert -$6.99
Pay = $3.98
Get $5 Target gift card when you buy 4
Final Price = FREE ($1.02 overage
**Can’t guarantee your coupons will take $6.99 off, see match-up HERE

Nivea for Men Post Shave Balm $5.54
$2/1 Target printable coupon
$2/1 Nivea for Men facial care printable coupon
Final Price = $ 1.54 each

Maybelline Baby Lips $2.99
$1/1 Target printable coupon
$1/1 printable coupon
Final Price = $ .99 each

Heinz Ketchup $1.99
$2/1 Target printable coupon (no longer available)
Final Price = FREE

Here are the clearance items I picked up:

Melissa & Doug Rainbow Caterpillar $2.98 (70% off)

Sally Hansen Nail Strips $2.10 (70% off)
$3/1 printable coupon (no longer available)
Final Price = FREE ($ .90 overage)
**Target does not usually offer overage, they usually adjust coupon down.

Lip Smackers Dazzle Dust Blush $1.10 (70% off)

Avengers Masks/Coloring Book $1.04 (70% off)

If you factor in the $10 in gift cards I got back, it’s as if everything cost me only $5.26. Major score!!

My suave coupon took off 5.00 too ! But, I didn’t get my 5.00 gift card. Thanks for your match ups. You can see my trip I saved 57.00 http://www.bargainfun.net/2013/03/target-trip-saved-5729.html
