9/7 Target and Walmart shopping trip

Walmart:

Spic n Span all purpose cleaner
-Used $1.00/2 printable
Paid:  .47 each bottle (I bought 2)

Target:
26 oz. pasta sauce (target brand)
Whole wheat spaghetti noodles
-Used $1.00/wyb both the sauce and the noodles
Paid:  .50 each

I also bought an additional pasta sauce--they are on sale for $1.00 right now.  I'm making spaghetti for dinner, which means that this meal costs a total of $2.00 total because I got the ground beef for free a while back using overage from another coupon.  Not bad for a complete dinner for 4 people!

Once upon a child and 9/6 Target shopping trip

So, I dropped off a small basket of old clothes to sell at once upon a child and they accepted about half the stuff (It was mostly stuff the baby has outgrown...I kept a lot of Leila's smaller clothes so Lilliana can wear it next year).  Anyways, they offered $39.00 store credit or $32.00 cash.  I took the cash since I saw nothing in there that I was interested in, and I was really in need for some new school (dress) shoes for Leila.  But, I was happy that I got to get rid of some old clothes and I made some cash for some new shoes!  

After once upon a child I went to Target, and here's what I bought today:

Girls circo dress shoes:
I bought 2 pair (black and pink)
They were marked at $9.99, but rung up only $8.00!!

Simply juice (single serve):
I bought 2 orange and 1 lemonade
-Used $1.00/1 printables


They rung up .74, so they ended up being free!

Overall, a good shopping day since I got what I needed and spent no money!
