Target Shopping 4/12

So I've been hoping to finally purchase FREE Purex Crystals Fabric Softener at Target. I live in an area where we have two very large Super Targets along with several other regular Targets within a descent driving distance. However, since the Purex Crystals were lowered in price from $4.99 to $2.99 it seems as though Target can not keep enough in stock. I got lucky last week and was able to find two bottles on the shelf, but thankfully today Target had restocked and I was able to buy six bottles without clearing the shelves.

So here is my purchase for this - there weren't a ton of great deals, but I was able to find a few things worth my trip.



(6) Bottles of Purex Crystals Fabric Softener
                Regular Price $4.99
           New Lower Price $2.99
 Coupons $2 off Manufacturers & $1 off Target Web
                Final Price - FREE

(17) Circo Infant Socks - Yes I bought more - they aren't moving off the shelves and who wouldn't like socks added to any baby gift I happen to send. ;)
            Regular Price - $1
      Coupon $1 off Target Web
           Final Price - FREE

(1) Up and Up Facial Wipes
        Regular Price $3.29
            No Coupon :(

(1) 5lb Box of Clementines
      Regular Price $5.99
         Sale Price $4.99
Coupons $1 off Manufacturer & $1 off Target Printable from the register
     Final Price - $2.99


                                                       Total should have been - $60.72
                                                           Actual amount paid - $9.92



A new thing that I am going to start doing is also breaking down the total per item so in this case I purchased 25 items total (17 socks, 6 fabric softener, 1 box clementines, & 1 facial wipes) so the total breakdown per item including tax would be .40 cents. I really like being able to see the break down per item because this just proves how much money you can save with coupons. Even if I purchased 25 items at a Dollar store I would still end up spending between $14.04 and $27 depending on if the items were small like candy bars that are 2 for $1 or they were actual $1 items including taxes.

Check back tomorrow for a breakdown on an awesome Publix trip I made for a total of $4.56 including over 25 items with a price per item of .18 cents!!!
