Target Shopping Trip 2/25/2015

I went past Target today so I decided to stop in for a few things.  The cashier accidentally missed one of my coupons which I caught while in the store and got my $0.50 back before I left but he also scanned one of my Target coupons twice and I did not realize it until after I got home and looked at my receipt a bit more closely.  I generally take a bit more time to calculate my totals in the store prior to checking out but I was in a bit of a hurry since I had Lily with me and she was getting hungry.

Rite Aid Shopping Trip 2/25/2015

Thankfully the weather has been a bit better this week and I have been able to go out to the store earlier in the week since I need to pack up to leave this weekend.  Lily has enjoyed getting out of the house as well, she loves shopping with me.

I had a $5 off $50 purchase coupon to use on one of my cards so I wanted to use that.  I was able to find the old First Aid bags with the peelies that rang up full price ($4.99) but someone had taken all the coupon booklets out of the First Aid bags!  Thankfully I brought the $3/3 Band Aid insert coupons with me just in case.

Target Shopping Trip 2/24/2015

I was not able to get a picture of my haul from Target, I left the bags of cat food in the car because I had enough to carry in since I had Lily with me.  Plus the cat food was not staying here, it had to be dropped off to my mom.  But this week at Target there is coupon in the weekly ad to receive $10 off a $40 purchase of pet food, treats, or cat litter.  You can also receive the coupon by texting the word PETS to 827438 which is Target's mobile coupon number.

Very simple transaction, only the Target coupon involved since I did not have coupons for anything else.  I just used the Friskies as fillers to get my total to $40 and my dad's cat will enjoy those.  I did not have any gift cards going into this transaction either to lower my out of pocket but did earn quite a few points on my Shopkick app while I was there.

Rite Aid Shopping Trip 2/22/2015

I forgot to pick up my Saving Star Friday Freebies yesterday so I made a quick trip today to pick up them up.  I was thinking of picking up a few more items but when I walked into the store a cashier I have had very bad experiences with was there.  Unfortunately they are the only store in this area that stays open until 10pm on a Sunday so I took my chances buying the last of the Nivea I had coupons for and thankfully the cashier did not throw a fit about my low out of pocket cost.

Rite Aid Shopping Trip 2/21/2015

Due to the weather not cooperating (reasons why I do not miss New York), I had to wait until Saturday again this week to do a majority of my shopping.  Some days the snow was not too bad but with the temperatures so low I did not want to risk taking little peanut out and getting sick again.

Thankfully I was able to find all the items I wanted to get but I had to do quite a few transactions to make it all work out properly and even then I messed up a bit at the end.  I went to three different stores, did eight transactions, and used four different cards.
