Mini Coupon Trips 03/28/14!

Here is my mini couponing trip to Target for this week. A freebie and a close-to-freebie made it worth stopping in while I had planned to drive through town! Here's what I got this week and what I paid out of pocket after all sale price, coupons and electronic rebates!

1- Seventh Generation Dish Soap $3.19 - [10% off Cartwheel][$1 coupon][$1 target coupon][$1 iBotta rebate = FREE with +$.02 overage!

1 lb Strawberries $1.79 - [5% off cartwheel][$1 mobile coupon] = $.70!

4 Bananas $1.00 - [$.50 Checkout 51 rebate] = $.50 or $.12 per banana!

2- 6pk Angel Soft $6.58- [15% off cartwheel][two $.50 target coupon][two $.55 MF coupons] = $3.64 or $.30 per roll!

2- Up & Up Baby Wash  $3.34 - [10% off cartwheel][$2 target coupon] = $1.06 or $.53 each!

2- Up & Up Baby Lotion  $3.34 - [10% off cartwheel][$2 target coupon] = $1.06 or $.53 each!

Total retail $20.04 + tax

Total price paid $6.94 + tax

That's 65% savings!

I also did a quick run into CVS. I was super excited because there were big ECB deals and I still had $10 in ECB's leftover from a couple weeks before! One pack of diapers is included simply because we do intend on adding another babe to the family eventually and when diapers are super cheap I figure 'why not?!' I also jumped for joy when there was a $5/$25 coupon in my email the day prior to shopping! So that was like an extra 20% savings on top of the trip that was already planned!

2- Suave Body Wash $4/2 - [$1/2 coupon] = $3.00 or $1.50 each!

3- Suave Lotion $10.17 - [three $1.50 coupons] = $5.67 or $1.89 each!

1- CVS Paper Towel Roll $.79 - [$.79 CVS print coupon] = FREE!

1- Jumbo pk CVS Diapers $6.99

2- Clear Scalp Conditioner $8.98 - [two $2.50 coupons] = $3.98 or $1.99 each!

2- Dove Shampoo/Conditioner $9.98 - [two $1.50 coupons] = $6.98 or $3.49 each!

Total before tax and after coupons $26.62

ECBucks from previous trip $10.00

Store coupon $5 off $25 purchase.

Total paid OOP $16.42 with tax (savings of about 75% off retail!!) AND another $12.00 ECBucks to use next week! Planning to use that to knock a big chunk out of the Easter Candy budget!

My final mini stop was at Hy-Vee... now for this "couponing trip" I didn't coupon at all. This was a two day sale with a few rock bottom prices so I stopped in just to grab the allowed limits!

6 - Blue Bonnet Margarine $.58 each!

3 - Hunts Ketchup  $.69 each!

2 - 4lb bags Sugar  $.99 each!

10 - Van Camps Pork & Beans  $.29 each!

Saved about 60% without using a single coupon!

Sometimes the mini trips save the most!
