Stack Those Coupons!

It's been very busy with back-to-school season. While I had to take a few moments away from blogging to help my new middle schooler get adjusted, I have not taken a break from couponing! While on a family vacation, I was able to get 8 bottle of Nivea shower gel TOTALLY FREE!!!!

But this post is about shopping at Target. Not sure if you know, but Target has three kinds of coupons that you can use...

1. If you sign up thru Target.com, every few weeks, Target will send you coupons straight to your cell phone. This is very convenient because as long as you have your cell phone with you (which most of us don't leave home without).

2. & 3. Also on Target.com, you are able to print Target coupons and manufacturers coupons. While you can only use one manufacturers coupon or one store coupon on one item, you can use one store coupon and one manufacturers coupon on one product to get extra savings.

Case in point, a friend of mine worked this deal last night... She needed diapers for her daughter. She had two manufacturers coupons for $2 off Huggies diaper of any size. I had two Target store coupons $3 off coupon any Huggies diapers. Target had a jumbo pack of diapers on sale for $19.XX. Her first thought was to get the jumbo for $19 and use one of my coupons to take $3 off giving her a total of $16. Once we looked closer, she was able to buy two of the smaller packages which were $9.49 a piece. Then once she used both the manufacturers coupon and the store coupon for $4.49 total for each package. So she paid $9 and got around the same amount of diapers as if she would have bought the jumbo pack!

PS, sometimes the Sunday paper has Target coupons as well.
