Targeteering Weekend

Most of what I've been posting lately have been my couponing trips and maybe I need to tone it down a little and choose more interesting topics, but today's grocery trip was awesome and I just needed to share it. This will more than likely be the last couponing breakdown for the next couple of weeks so bare with me. I was so excited walking out of the store.

I had used up some of my mobile coupons so I decided to bring Philip along and use his (he went rather unwillingly) so that I could do this awesome deal. 

Terrible photo of me, but let's focus on what I bought. This week there is a mobile coupon for $10 off a $50 grocery purchase which I applied before all other coupons I mentioned here. This acts as a "percentage off" coupon, so you can use other Target coupons in addition to it. I mentioned to my hubby that I needed to reach $50 in grocery products so as soon as we walked into the store he disappeared for about 5 minutes and returned with several packages of meat, two gallons of milk (yuck) and Starburst Jelly Beans. That was ok because we had coupons for those lol. 

Here's the breakdown:

In case you're wondering how I get the mobile coupons, grab your smartphone and do this: 

Text the words SPRING, THANKS, EASTER, GROCERY, & RECIPE to 827438 (spelling out Target) and you'll receive a text after each with a link to Mobile Coupons. Use them wisely!!!
