My Target Trip 2/22

Target is having an awesome deal with their frozen food right now. This is a regional deal so check your ad to see if you have the gift card deal or the freezer bag deal. We have the gift card deal and the way it works is you buy ANY seven frozen products and you get a $5 gift card. Seriously anything frozen is included. Now normally I would do this and do small transactions and roll the gift cards, but we didn't do it that way today. I will go back on Friday or Saturday with the gift cards I got today and do it my way. :) Hubby was with so some extra items were added in. Another big shocker is I didn't have coupons for hardly anything I bought *gasp* :) Here's what I got:

1 Reese's Peanut Butter cups (dh) $2.99
1 Reese's Dark Peanut Butter cups (dh) $3.19
1 Slim Jim 2pk (dh) $1.54

Kroger Trip 2/9/11

Total Paid for items in picture: $8.40


Wow I have been really slacking. I plan on taking more time to keep this updated from now on. :) I went to Kroger yesterday for the last day of the Mega Sale. The way the Mega Sale works is you buy 10 participating items and you get $5 off your shopping trip. So it is like .50 off each item. You can do multiple deals in one order. The items below with the * next to the price are mega items and the .50 has already been removed from the price. I did three separate transactions. Here's what I got:

#1
2 Krutz Cookie Mixes $1.49* -(2) .50q's doubled = .49 ea
2 Kroger English muffins .69 (manager's special)
1 Thomas Bagel Thins $3.49 - free q = free
2 Frank's Red Hot Sauce $1.49* -(2) .50 q's doubled = .49
3 Hunts Tomatoes .47* - $1/3 manu q & $1/3 e q = -.59
3 Hormel Chili .79* - $1.50/3 q = .29 ea
2 Kettle Chips $1.49* - (2) $1 q's = .49 ea
2 Kraft 2% Cheese slices $1.49 - (2) .75 q's = .74 ea
4 Rotel Tomatoes .42* - (3) .30q's doubled & B3G1 Free = -1.46
2 Honest Fruit Punch .75 - (2) .50q's doubled = -.50
2 Kroger loaves of bread .39 (manager's special)

Total: $5.32
Total Savings: $38.20 or 87%

#2
2 Whisker Lickins Cat Treats .49* - $1/2 q = -.02
2 Axe Deodorant $2.99* - BOGO manu q & $2 eq = -2.50
2 Reach Access Flossers $1.00* - (2) .50 q's doubled & $1 eq = -1.00
2 Reach Toothbrushes $1.00 - (2) $1 q's = free
12 pumpkin votive candles .49* (this is price before mega after .50 disc they were .01 mm's each)
3 Suave Body Wash $1.67 - (2) .50 q's doubled, B2G1 free mq & $1 eq = .01
2 Oral B toothbrushes $2.50 - (2) $2.50 q's = free
3 Dove Deodorant $2.00 - (3) $2 manu q's & $2 eq = -2.00
1 Gillette Body Wash $2.50 - $2 manu q & $2 eq = -1.50
~Now I wasn't paying much attention on this trip, because I ended up with a total of -$2.15. So I added:
2 Reese's Fast Break Candy Bars .50 ea
1 Snickers .50
1 Lighter .90

Total: .39 (tax was $2.88!!! so it cut into the tax!)
Total Savings: $54.71 or 104% woohooo :)
