Target Shopping Trip! Spent $5.67. Original Retail: $73.31! 93% Savings!

Every Sunday, I print coupons from Coupons .com and from the Target Website (www.Target.com/coupons) to ensure that I don't miss out on great deals. There isn't a true definition of reasoning for which coupons you should print but I do suggest that if an item in on sale, would you buy it if you had a coupon for it? Chances are you would kick yourself in the butt for not printing the coupons if you did come across a great deal on your favorite items! I started to print my coupons in black and white to reduce the use of the color ink.
Suave Naturals Hair Care on sale for 2 for $5. I used two $1.50 store coupons and two $1.50 printable manufacturer coupons, making this FREE with a $1 overage. I also used Cartwheel for 10% off, which gave me more overage of $1 extra ($.25 off each bottle) FREE with total overage of $2. Print two $1.50 coupon HERE
 
Herbal Essence on sale for 2 for $5. I got 4 bottles total and use two $3 off 2 manufacturer coupons, making it $2 for 2 bottles or $1 each. I also used Cartwheel of 10% off so it came down to $.75 each.

I printed the $5 off 2 Almay (no size exclusions) and used it on the travel size Almay Makeup Remover. Bought two at $1.47 each.
Deal Scenerio: $1.47+$1.47=$2.94-$5cpn= $2.06 overage.
Overage will vary by store but in most cases it is allowed. No cash back will be given. It is recommended that you add filler items to your purchase to utilize the overage. If you have an  overage and no filler items, the cashier will adjust the coupons to give the transaction a zero balance. So it is wise to add staple items such as bread, eggs and milk to your order rather than to lose that extra funds that you are eligible for. (There's rarely any coupons for those staple items so
 this is a great way to cut the cost down on it.)

 Nivea for $1.97 and used the $5 off 2 Nivea from the 3/16 Smartsource insert.
Bought two---> $1.97+$1.97=$3.94-$5 cpn= $1.06 overage X 4=$4.24 overage
I bought a total of 8 bottles - used 4 coupons. In the Target coupon policy,  they only allow 4 like coupons per transaction per day.

I got 4 bottles. Buy 3, get 1 for a $1. I used three $1 manufacturer coupons and one $2 off 3 items store coupon.
Deal Scenerio: $2.49+$2.49+$2.49+$2.49=$9.96-$1.49 off the 4th bottle (making it a $1)=$8.47-$3 (three $1 cpn)=$5.47-$2(store cpn)=$3.47 for 4 bottles. I did this offer twice but I had different coupons with the same deal amount. So I paid a total of $6.94 for 8 bottles or $.87 a bottle!
 Original price:$3.49 each!

GUD on clearance for $3.24. I sued the $1.50 printable manufacturer coupon, making it $1.74 each. I bought a shampoo and a conditioner for a total of $3.84. Original price was $6.49 each! Print two $1.50 coupon HERE!
