Target: July 2

 As always, the majority of my coupons come from online sources (like target.com, walmart.com, coupons.com etc.) and from my 1 Sunday paper. Today I also had a bunch of coupons that printed out at the register at Target in previous trips. I was excited to get a few things we need (bandaids, dryer sheets and lactaid) today for really good prices and to add to my stock pile! 

Here's how I achieved 72% savings today - a final total of $9.98 out of pocket

**A few notes: Target's coupon policy states that they can adjust the price of a coupon down so that it does not exceed the value of the item. They do this mostly with Target coupons, but sometimes with manufacturer coupons. Always give them the Target coupons first, for the best chance at overage (even a penny here and there makes a difference). Deals like the free first aid pouch require a certain $ amount to be spent on the qualifying products - this is before coupons, so make sure you get the deal before handing over your coupons! There is a limit of 4 identical products per household per day, so stock up slowly. They also do not accept internet coupons for free items that have no purchase requirements.

Feel free to ask questions!

I didn't get a picture of this one, but I also tried Walgreens this week (and got really frustrated with their policies).
