My awesome Target trip:


I know this is alot to look at and I ended up getting most of the school supplies FREE, so here's a better shot of just the school supplies:

(The only things I paid for in this picture were the Purell @ .89 each & the spiral notebooks @ .17 each, all of the other things were FREE after coupons!!)

I also got 2 huge bags of Purina dog food (20 lbs. each) which I couldn't fit in the picture.  I did this in 2 transactions to be able to use my earned $5 giftcards from the first transaction in the second transaction.  I also had (2) $5 off of a $50 purchase peelies (see HERE & HERE) and wanted to use both.  I have no idea what one of the $5 giftcards I earned came from and neither did the cashier, so I'm guessing it must have been from the Olay, but that's just a guess.  I have to note, that our local Target (Victoria) DOES allow you to use a coupon on a free item as long as the coupon doesn't beep.  They also DO NOT adhere to the "limit one coupon or offer per guest" verbage that prints on Target coupons.  Here's what I did:
