Target Trip


I was so mad at myself yesterday. You will see why later. I got all of this at Target for $7.76. My receipt says I saved $29.78. The great thing about it is, The Goonies movie alone was $7.50. (I just had to have this movie. It is my favorite movie from my childhood and every time I try to find it when it's on sale, it's always sold out. Had to have it!) So I pretty much got the rest for free.

Here's how I did it:
-The Goonies $7.50
-2 Cheerios (Big Brother's favorite) $2.50 each, but I had a Target coupon for $1 off 2 and a manufacturer coupon for $1 off 2. I only paid $1.50 for each box.
-2 Healthy Choice meals $2.04 each and had 2 $2 coupons. I only paid $.04 each.
-10 Crystal Lights (the girls love these) on clearance for $.68 each. I had 5 coupons for $2 off 2. I actually got overage on these and made $.32 on each pack for an extra $3.20 taken off my order.

I was pretty happy knowing I just paid for the movie and my overage even paid for some of the tax on it. I was happy until we walked outside and I realized I had a $5 Target gift card I got from buying toilet paper a while back. I forgot to use it! I was so mad at myself! I could have bought all of this for only $2.76 out of my pocket. You may think I'm insane for looking at it like that. I'm pretty sure my husband thinks I'm a little nutty for getting mad over saving money. I was just mad that I could have saved even more money. This is such a game to me so maybe I am a little insane.

It'll be alright though, because I'm going to watch The Goonies! I love Chunk!
