Murpath, thank you very much. Unfortunately I probably wouldn't buy any of those things. :-( But nice to see it laid out. Makes my mind work a little easier. Freesalsa, I might be more inclined to do the Starbucks. Do you have to buy 3 to get a $5 GC? Seems a little high to me but will look into it more. Is Curel deal (whatever that was - MM wasn't it?) over? I think I also saw a coupon for cheap pajamas. I can buy pajamas all day long. I love me some pajamas. I can't see target Qs on work computer so have to wait until I'm home to see if anything meshes. Curel: I THINK (cuz I've only heard about it here) the deal is buy 2 Curel lotion (any size) and get a $5 Target GC. The 3.5 oz. tubes are reported to be $2.99 and there is a $2/1 MC in the 12/4 SS. Buy two for $6, pay $1.98 (after using 2 $2/1 MCs) and get a $5 GC. If you can cobble together $50 worth of "stuff" at Target, there is a coupon to get an additional $10 GC when you spend $50. I doubt I'll be able to do that as I'd need (10) tubes of Curel to even get me to the $30 mark, but with some dog/cat treats thrown in I might get close.

Money Maker AlertTarget has the Ice Mountain Sparkling Water Liters on sale for $0.69 this week and there is a $1.00 off coupon on the liters. I did it last night and they took the $1.00 off no questions. And since I work there I also got my discount on the price before coupons. Love it! Were the $1/1 hangtag coupons right on the product at your store?

I work at Target sometimes as a front end supervisor, and I would allow you to do the deal. The cashiers are supposed to scan all coupons no matter what and if the register flags it then look to make sure that you got the right items. Very rarely do I question people unless I know they are known for misusing coupons. Toughgirl - what state are you in? if you are remotely near me i may make special visits to your store! at my targets, it's a hit or miss. some cashiers don't care & will scan & manually enter everything. but some will read every coupon & search every bag to make sure you bought exactly what the q is for before even trying to scan. if you have a lot of q's & a lot of stuff it can be very daunting. I'm at a store in Eastern Nebraska. May make for a very long road trip. We have a very specific coupon policy, which is pretty much what I told you, but there are a lot of cashiers who want to be robocops and try and "catch" people trying to cheat the system. I don't work this way, as I use coupons very regularly. Maybe once these highschoolers get out on their own, they will understand the importance of coupons.

I hope the $10/50 Q is still available when I get home. I have to buy the boy some stuff this weekend and it should be easy to get to $50 unfortunately. go to myfrugaladventures, look under her store tab for target, th look thru her target deals for the $10GC WYB $50 link, you won't find it digging thru all the target website coupons.. I happen to think the women's pj's are a good deal w/ the target coupon for $3 off, too.

I typed in coupons.com and only got the list of coupons associated with CVS and it wasn't there. PUUUULEEEZE!! ETA: I found another set of coupons but it's not there. Maybe I just need the right zip code.

Ok, just got back from target. The beggin' strips $1/2 MC was in the 10/30 RP. There have also been multiple peelies. The friskies cat treats were cheap or free with the MC and target q. Also, the maybelline "baby lips" lip gloss is free too. There is a $2/1 Target q and a $1/1 IP. They were out of the 6 oz. curel for 2.99, but they did have a 3.something oz cuticle cream that was 3.59 and the right size for the MC, so still free after $5 gift card. I did pretty good, except I messed up my second transaction, because the cupcake maker was not the one that the target q was for, and I was already in line. I thought I could switch up some stuff and have 2 $50 transactions, but the second was about $6 short, so, in an effort to not hold up the long line, we just grabbed 2 sodas and 2 candy bars. Not the best use, but, the best I could do at the time. My first transaction was $40.xx and I got a $10 GC and 2 $5 GC's. Second transaction was only $26.xx after Q's and prior GC's and I still got a $10 GC and 2 $5 GC's back. I'll try to post my transactions from memory, but my second transaction was mainly gifts so probably not helpful to most.

9/11 insert also had the Beggin' Strips MC. The HCW database has been acting funky lately. I just searched, found it, then it just disappeared. You could search Purina too, since they make them. HTH

Regular price, but coupons, GC, rebate for GC, then cups for bags. It just keeps giving! It's still a good deal even if you don't buy $50 total.

That's what I was looking for. I think I can get there by getting stuff the boy needs. But I would rather get there by buying stuff with coupons like the Curel or pajama deal.

Nope, I bought 6 bags of Starbucks coffee, which gave me 2 $5 GC's, then 4 Curel, which gave 2 $5 GC's.

Target Deal I have some good news for you guys and bad news for me. The good news is that the Purina Kitty Treats stack beautifully to lower OOP for getting to $50. Another piece of good news is that my Target had TEN of the Curel; the bad news is that at my store they were $3.59/ea. (darn CA high cost of living ). But the good news is I have a nice stockpile of lotion (which we needed) and I still made a profit. Anyway, here's what I ended up doing. All coupons went through easy breazy and they let me use multiples of the Target Qs in one transaction. 35.90 (10) Curel Lotion 5.68 (4) Friskies Crispies 5.68 (4) Friskies Party Mix 10.00 (4) Beggin' Strips 1.26 Sales Tax 58.51 Subtotal - 20.00 (10) $2/1 Curel (12/4 SS) - 5.68 (4) BOGO Friskies Cat Treat (9/Something SS) - 2.84 (2) BOGO Friskies Party Mix/Get Friskies Party Mix (Target Q) - 3.00 (2) $1.50/2 Purina / Friskies Cat Treat MCs (12/4 SS) - 4.00 (1) $4/4 Beggin Strips (12/4 SS) - 4.00 (4) $1/1 Beggin Strips (Target Q) - .10 (2) Cloth Bags 18.89 OOP --> (5) $5 Target GCs (Curel) / (1) $10 Target GC ($10/$50) Profit of $16.11 I am no longer a Target-GC-deal virgin!! ;D Yep, this is my first one. I HATE, HATE, HATE OOP, but we REALLY needed the lotion and I didn't figure I was going to get a better deal somewhere else (wait....CVS will have a killer deal ). Anyway, I'm hoping to use a couple of them for after Christmas deals and save the rest to roll. The thing I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY like is that they don't expire so I can wait patiently for another killer deal - even if it's 6 months from now. ;D ETA: As crummy of a deal as it was (for me) in terms of OOP, the lady behind me applauded.

Then, off to CVS for me. I had to use the last of my SPAM coupons, ya know!! 9.85 (5) Spam @ $1.97/ea. (Raincheck) - 2.75 (5) $.55/1 Spam IPs (3 just received from Mrs. Hot Tamale) - 7.00 EBs (from BF on new card) .10 OOP I just want to let you gals know that if you request a coupon and no one responds the first time (for whatever reason), post your request a second time - AND BEG!! You guys thoughtfully sent me 23 SPAM coupons and I thank you.

If any of you have a fragrance on your gift buying list, ULTA has a pretty decent deal of free shipping, free luxury robe with $30 fragrance, and 3 free samples with your purchase. All the codes and links are on their site.

DH took me out for tempura and sashimi tonight. YUM!! The restaurant is in the same shopping center as Nob Hill, so I popped in to stockpile me some S&W beans. I used (4) cans of kidney beans when I make homemade chili and black beans in my Southwestern Chicken and Rice, so (22) cans later I'm pretty well stocked on beans. I had enough coupons to buy 26 cans, but didn't really think I needed the (4) extra. I went to the self scanner cuz I wanted to snag me a few extra plastic bags (they'll no longer be free after the first of the year here). Anyway, the slot where you deposit your coupons was pretty full so the guy had to come over and help me. Finally, he said, "How many coupons do you have?" I said, "I bought 22 cans and I have 13 $.50/2 coupons - a couple extras." He said, "That's okay, I'll take 'em." So I got 22 cans @ $.59/can after Qs. Geez, I remember when they were $.39/can - regular price.

Thanks Leanna! Ruby - the M&Ms will be on sale at Meijer again next week. And Kraft cheese will be $1.66 each. Looks like this is the new low price for Kraft cheese Huggies Santa Diapers $3 @ BRU www.savingaddiction.com/?p=20089 Pubbler: I did the flour, sugar and M&M's deal at Meijer tonight. The baking M&M's were $2.50 each. I used 2 M&M Q and a $2.00 catalina and paid $10.18 and got the $10.00 catalina to buy 1 case Diet Pepsi, 3 Snapware cereal containers, 1 loaf of bread, 2 Nabisco saltines, 1 mushrooms and 1 Reynolds wrap. I spent a total of $12.65 and saved $26.50. I'm keeping 1 Snapware and giving the other 2 as gifts with Christmas treats. CVS: I did a few quick little deals to get some raincheck items and spent $1.95 and saved $19.86. I started out with $.99 ECB on DH's card. I got Crest toothpaste, the little size, 2 Jiff (raincheck), 2 Mentos (raincheck), 1 single Mentos, 6 greeting cards and candy canes. The CRT machine gave out $1.00/2 American Greeting cards and I already had a $2.00 IPQ so that was pure profit of $3.00. I also got a CRT for 1 bottle of Mentos when you buy 1 larger bottle. I have $3.27 on DH's card and I did another greeting card deal on another card for a $3.00 ECB. I didn't think there would be any Jif left, so that caught me by surprise. I hadn't been to CVS lately, and the red machine spit out a bunch of coupons. Constanz: How does the Heidi Klum perfume smell? Does Rite Aid have testers? Dollar General: On their website is a $5.00/25.00 coupon for tomorrow, December 10.

Great job at target dancin. Question though: I thought they limited to 4 like. Or is that only p&g because of the wording on the q?

Geez, I didn't even think to see if there was a quantity restriction on the Curel Q. It isn't P&G though. I guess I'd better start looking for that. I got REALLY lucky cuz I called in advance to see if they had stock of the Curel and they did (they had zero on Wednesday) . The gal held them for me at the service desk until I could drive across town to get them. I was pretty sure they'd have some combination of the pet treats that I could use to then get to $50.

rubyslippers- I didn't smell the Heidi Klum yet. They may have testers with their regular perfume display, but I didn't check. I tried to get a second set yesterday cuz I remembered I had 2 November All You, but the 2 stores I went to didn't have any more of the 15.99 sets. All of the perfume sets are really limited quantity and selling fast. Oh well...

NON-CVS SHOPPERS - AGAIN
HOUND ALERT: $7/1 Centrum ProNutrients (12/11 SS)
This is also part of a Buy $30 / Get a $10 GC at CVS (starting tomorrow). I use Centrum daily and this deal would be a great way to close out a couple of my EB cards and get a CVS $10 GC instead. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
ETA: I forgot to mention that these are not multi-vitamins.
