Target Coupon run....with Keith!

Thursday Keith and I got a babysitter and went to dinner. What a nice, quiet meal! After I took Keith couponing with me for the first time. This was my biggest couponing trip yet!! My mom in VA and my grandparents in TX have been sending me their coupons, so I had a few more of each, so that has been really nice! I had to do 5 transactions! 4 of them were my planned out coupon ones and the last was a few items that Keith found on clearance....and diapers!! Here is what I got! This price next to it is what I paid after coupons!



12 cans of tomato soup $.31 each
4 packs of 24 ct zantac $1.59 instead of $7.59
4 packs of paper towels ALL FREE
4 bottles of hand soap(this is kinda funny...I wanted to buy dish soap, but was so excited when I found the hand soap on clearance, that I forgot that I NEEDED the dish soap! So now we have a lot of hand soap and still need dish soap!) $.54 each
4 bottles of Tide HE-$3.99 each
8 boxes of skinny cow chocolate candies $.75
4 bottles of shave cream  ALL FREE
5 packs of 7 pens ALL FREE
6 boxes of mac and cheese $.33 each
2 bottles of lysol toilet cleaner $1.47 each-I had a coupon on my phone that I completely forgot to give her which would have made this $.97 each! Oh well, I can use another coupon with the phone coupon another time!
4 packs of 35 cough drops $.39 each
4 star wars action figures $3.94 each

I was very happy with how this all worked out! It took a lot of planning, and I made a spreadsheet with my transactions to help me keep it all straight. When I shopped, I took 4 reusable bags with me and kept everything separate in my cart. It really made checkout simple.

Oh, and what Keith found (sorry, so picture!)

$23 kids sleeping bag for $5.98
$40 2 person tent for $12.48
$20 air mattress for $8.68
