Target 7/31/10

It feels like all I do is shop for groceries these days! With getting ready for back to school I am trying to collect all those things will we will so I don't have to make any emergencies trips the night before. But no matter how hard I try to prepare I know I will forget something big, who knows what it will be this year but it's inevitable. Here's what I picked up at Target:

Del Monte Fruit Cups 6 x $2.04 each, used 5 $1 off Target.com and $2 off 6 packs which I cannot seem to find again
Nature Valley Granola Bars $.64 x 3, on clearance, used $.75/2 and $.50 off 1 from newspaper (there is a coupon on Target.com too) I did not use the Target coupon or it would have been a money maker
Chef Boyardee $.97, used $1 off one at Target.com and $1.50/4 from Conagra http://www.childhungerendshere.com/Public/brands.html
Banquet Frozen Dinners $.68 each, used $1.50/4 and Free Pie with 2 from coupons.com

Littlest Savings

If you have a baby or one on the way it one of life's most amazing experiences... and one of the most expensive.  Here are a few resources I have used to help save some money on our newest family member:

Formula Savings

http://similac.com/

https://www.enfamil.com/app/iwp/ConsumerRegisterLoadConsentInfo.do

http://www.gerber.com/AllStages/Login/Default.aspx

http://www.brightbeginnings.com/ Call this number to request coupons (800) 410-9629 .  You have to specify the top three stores you shop at and you can make a request for coupons every month.
http://www.membersmarkformula.com/free_sample.aspx

Also, talk to your pediatrician about using formula.  Sometimes they have special coupons and rebate forms not available through other means.  Ask for samples and explain to them if you are having trouble affording the formula, especially if you need a super expensive specialty one. When my daughter was switched to a hypoallergenic formula the doctor arranged to have a case sent to me. Also, have the discussion with your doctor about how to use the different brands and if generic versions are all right for your child.  My doctor surprised me with my son by saying that since he had no feeding issues we were free to try the generic formulations as well as switch between brands depending on what I had coupons for.  For us as long as it was milk based I could use any brand or if we were using soy then we had to stick to soy based but didn't have to be brand loyal. My son didn't have any issues with changing but be sure to get the green light from your doctor first.  Check Ebay for formula rebate forms.  You can also buy formula checks from other people on Ebay but that gets into a grey area with couponing ethics.  You can combine your formula checks with manufacturer coupons.  For example, I buy a lot of Enfamil Toddler formula.  These are about  $17 at most stores.  I use a $5 manufacturer printable from coupons.com and then $10 worth of formula checks to get my price down to $2 a can. There is a coupon for $5 off a can of Enfamil on coupons.com right now.  And then keep an eye out for the catalina's that print when you buy formula.  I have had some print for $10 a can so these can be pretty valuable.  

Diapers 

http://www.huggies.com/en-US/promotions/coupons
http://www.pampers.com/en_US/potty-kit-request
While you are there be sure to sign up for the home mailing list and both Huggies and Pampers offer rewards programs.  So far I have received several packs of Huggies, swim diapers, music downloads and from Pampers a Deigo potty seat which will come in handy some day.
As far as buying diapers I typically buy at the drugstores when they have good sales.  In a cruch I have found that both Amazon and Diapers.com offer competitive pricing and fast delivery. Diapers.com offers new customers $10 off their first order and you can mail in your manufacturer coupons. Delivery is free with a $49 order and they have a great referral program.  If you use my referral code you will get an extra 15% off.
http://www.diapers.com/index.aspx      My Referral Code: SCRA7747


Other items:
http://www.blogger.com/goog_130446388

This month you can print coupons for $5/$25 on Gerber bedding, $1 off Onesies or Sleep N' Plays and $1 off gowns or Sleep 'n Plays.  Check the end caps at Target for these items.  They go on sale when the patterns change and you can get these items really inexpensively.

I must confess this deal is a little complicated.  The Kroger ad says go to Kroger.com to get $3 coupon. I searched everywhere and couldn't find it.  Then I went to P&G esaver (and there is a $3 off a 24 pack.  And if you already loaded these on your Safeway card you won't be able to use them at Kroger.  I'll let you know when I get it figured out....

Tree Top juice is 2 for $3 at King Soopers this week. 

Free Jiffy Recipe Book from All You

Click below for a free Jiffy Mix recipe book from All You magazine. I have contacted Jiffy Mix for coupons and they stated that they typically won't release manufacturer coupons because their products are already such a great value. And at about $.44 cents a box, I have to agree about the value part.

My husband was there at 5:15 this morning and said there was no chance of being one of the first 250 customers to get the gift card. He said there were people around the block and some had even brought chairs. He hasn't attended a lot of these freebie events with me and doesn't quite get how passionate about free stuff some of us are. I bet it was a lot of fun though...

I am pretty excited about the sale at Albertson's this week.  Typically I won't go to Albertson's unless there are incredible deals to be had because I feel like they have toyed with my emotions with offering double and triple coupons, then taking it away, then bringing it back.  How can a girl know what to expect?  Anyways, here you go.....

I will report back after I get some more prices and see if I can come up with a decent deal.  If you really need Tide, and are brave at heart, you can take the Albertson's ad to Target and get a price match.  Then it would be $5.99 less $1 Tide and $1 Target-Tide coupon which would make it $3.99 per bottle. If you are in need of diapers have Target price match the $17.99 per box from the Albertson's ad and use the $2 off Pampers box Target coupon and a $2 manufacturer to bring your box price to $13.99.  Luvs Jumbo packs are $6.99 at my store and there is a $2 off manufacturer and a $1 off Target to make them $3.99.

Free Joint Juice at Safeway

I found the single bottles for 88 cents last night.  I used the $1 off coupons from the site to get a few for free.

Target Trip


I went to Target to try some deals for you with the new coupons that are out.  Here's what I found:

Snyder's Pretzels $2.59 less Target $1 and MQ for $1= 59 cents
Similac on sale, 2 6 packs $6.29 each.  Had $2 MQ and found 55 cent peelies on product plus used $10 in formula checks from signing up on Similac.com
I just realized I was charged for something I left at the store so another trip to Target today.  Woo-hoo!
4X 3packs of toddler boys Hanes briefs- $1.48 each used 4 X $1 Hanes Target coupons
Chef Boyardee x 5 cans 99 cents each, used 4 x$1 off Target coupon plus peelie for 5th can free found on product
Bananas 46 cents per pound
Banquet frozen dinners 4 x 68 cents, used $1.50 off 4 IP coupon
Bagel bites x 2 $2.24 each, used 2 x Target $1 off and $1 off from manu. website
Sobe Water x 2, used 2 x50 cent Target coupons plus BOGO from game= FREE
Bic Pens x 3, 99 cents, used Target $1 off coupon=FREE
Bic Mechanical pencils, 8 pack $1.39 used $1 Target coupon
Eggos waffles x2-used $1/2 Target coupon and $1/2 coupon from this Sunday's paper
Tide sample pack 97 cents, used $1 off any manufacturer coupon
Child safety backpack $3.24 (from 12.99) 

Total was $25.64, used $10 in formula checks, $10 gift card received for filling a new prescription, gift card that had 20 cents remaining from last week and $4.56 borrowed from my daughter.  My goal was to only use the gift card and get everything for $10 but then the item I had them scan for price was on the receipt even though I said I didn't want it.  So I'll go today and get the money back and will have come in under $10 like I planned. The child safety backpack thing looks like something that will make my life easier even though it was an impulse purchase.  I was so stressed trying to remember everything when we went to the fair Saturday night.  This will help to keep his snacks and crayons in plus he will not be able to get too far away from me.
