Anyway, when I get a chance to make it to a Target, I have found out that I can save a considerable amount of money with very little effort. And in order to preserve marital harmony, I try to do that.
Target runs decent sales. They're not great. But they're not bad.
You can capitalize on these sales by using coupons. That's a fairly obvious trick to saving money. Target takes manufacturer's coupons and they often send out their own coupons in the mail.
However, what I didn't know up until recently was that you can use the manufacturer's coupons AND the Target coupon on the same item!
The other day, I noticed that my favorite brand of diapers (Huggies) was on sale, (and this is a brand that I don't buy often because they're regularly expensive). Then, I had a coupon from Target AND a coupon from the paper. Diapers that were regularly $10.49 for a jumbo pack were reduced to $6.49. I got a pack of premium diapers for close to the same price as the generic. Nice :) Also, you can apparently use Huggies coupons for any Huggies product, not just the product on the coupon. So don't toss those coupons for pull-ups even if your kid is nowhere near ready for them! Use it on diapers!
Cool, huh?
It makes me happy. The other day, I spent $22.50 and got the following items:
1 Jumbo pack of size 2 Huggies diapers
1 16 oz container of Mr. Bubbles
1 pack of Huggies shea butter wipes (we really needed a new case)
1 shirt for Bean
1 pink plastic pencil box for Bean's crayons
2 Huggies clean team wipes
1 box of band aids
1 pack of 5 notebooks
1 plastic big kid cup for Bean
4 decorative kids' plastic plates
Some people really get into the coupon game. I don't necessarily have the time to spend on getting too involved, but I like that I can save a considerable amount of money on the big things with very little effort.
And that? That works for me. Visit Rocks in My Dryer of more Works-For-Me-Wednesday tips.

I can't believe it. I threw away Huggies coupons for years (Pamper's Fan)! The kicker is I liked Huggies wipes better, and am just realizing I could have saved tons o money. Well. GREAT TIP! I never knew you could combine store & product coupons; that's fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThat's true with any store, not just Target. You can always use a store coupon and a manufacturer's coupon. I usually do this at the grocery store.
ReplyDeleteDidn't know about the Huggies coupons though. Thanks for the tip!
You might like this site. There is a Target link on the right. I spent so much time just looking around at all the deals. I'm not big into coupons, but I'm big into killing a couple hours at Target, so might as well save some money!
