Bath & Body Works Deal 17April2009
Although I typically don't indulge myself into the girly world of lotions and smells, I decided I'd give Bath & Body Works a try after getting a coupon in my email for a free 3oz signature collection lotion with any purchase.
The fine print did not say anything about a minimum purchase, so I could have bought anything in the store and still obtained a free signature collection lotion.
I left the store with a large-sized lotion, a small "preview" lotion (they have a new scent coming in may!), and the free 3oz lotion, for $12.49 after taxes.
In addition, I got 2 coupons in my bag when I left:
"Free Home Fragrance Item with any $10 purchase (up to $12.50 value)"
"Free Signature Collection Item of your choice (with any pre-assembled gift set purchase (up to $12.00 value)"
Target Experience #1 17April2009
I decided to give Target couponing a try. I've always found Target's prices to be pretty high compared to other places, but I found some coupons that I couldn't pass up.
What I got:
V8 V-Fusion ($2.99)
Axe Shower Gel - trial version ($0.97)
2 Easy Mac Cups ($0.92 each)
2 Teddy Grahams ($2.00 each)
2 Schick Quattro razors ($7.84 each)
2 bags Hershey's Bliss ($3.49 each)
2 Market Pantry fruit snacks ($1.52 each)
2 Gerber Graduates finger foods ($2.19 each)
2 Dry Idea deodorants ($2.00 each)
Coupons I had:
$3.00 off one Gerber Graduates Food Item
(2) $1.00 off one bag Hershey's Bliss chocolates
(2) $1.00 one bag Hershey's Bliss chocolates - Target store coupon
$1.00 off one box Teddy Grahams
$1.00 off two boxes Teddy Grahams - Target store coupon
(2) $1.00 off Market Pantry Fruit Snacks - Target store coupon
$2.00 off V8 VFusion Drink
$1.00 off two bowls Kraft Easy Mac - Target store coupon
(2) $2.00 off Dry Idea Roll-on Deodorant
$1.00 Axe shower gel
(2) $4.00 off Schick Quattro razor
(2) $2.00 off Schick Quattro razor - Target store coupon
Prices after coupons:
V8 V-Fusion ($0.99)
Axe Shower Gel - trial version (FREE)
2 Easy Mac Cups ($0.84)
2 Teddy Grahams ($2.00)
2 Schick Quattro razors ($3.68)
2 bags Hershey's Bliss ($2.98)
2 Market Pantry fruit snacks ($1.04)
2 Gerber Graduates finger foods ($1.38)
2 Dry Idea deodorants (FREE)
Before coupons, my total was $45.97 (I sneaked a look at the screen before the guy rang my coupons up!). After the coupons were processed, my total was $16.31 after taxes. I saved $29.66, which makes my savings percentage 64%. That's not bad, in my opinion, considering Target prices, and factoring in that it was my first attempt at Target couponing.
For those of you who are beginners to couponing and are following my blog, I was able to maximize savings by combining both target store coupons (printed off the internet) and manufacturer coupons (both printed off the internet and cut out of the newspaper). Although the general rule of thumb is to have the same number of items as coupons, this rule is broken when combining manufacturer coupons with store coupons.
I am very excited about the Schick Quattro razors because they both ended up only being $1.84 each. I desperately needed new cartridges for my current razor, but I've dropped it so much that the little graspy things that hold on the blades have nearly broken off. So, you can't beat a razor that comes with 3 extra blades for $1.84!
I'm also excited that the Dry Idea deodorant was "free" after coupons, as well as the Axe shower gel. Although Dry Idea is not a brand I've ever used, I'm willing to try anything for "free". Justin doesn't typically use Axe shower gel, but he'll try anything "free" as well.

Albertsons Trip 14April2009
My catalinas were expiring on April 15th and April 20th. I waited until the very last day of the sale's ad (they run Wednesday to Tuesday out here) to see if I wanted to use my catalinas for the next ad, or this one. I am very unimpressed with the upcoming sales ad, so I decided to use them for this week's one.
What I Got:
All Small & Mighty (on sale for $3.99 from $5.99)
2 blocks of Philly Cream Cheese (on sale for $1.00 from $1.50)
3 boxes of PopTarts (on sale for 3/$5.00 from $2.79 per box)
2 boxes General Mills Cocoa Puffs (on sale for $1.99 from $3.89)
4 boxes Betty Crocker potatoes (on sale for $1.00 from $2.29)
2 Lipton Knorr Pasta Sides (on sale for $1.00 from $1.99)
2 cups of mini cookies from Nabisco (on sale for $1.00 from $1.49)
1 water bottle
Coupons I Had:
$2.00 off one bottle of All Small & Mighty (internet printable only availible for a day following Celebrity Apprentice)
$1.00 off one Philly Cream Cheese
$0.75 off one Philly Cream Cheese
$1.00 off two boxes of Poptarts
(2) $0.75 off one box Cocoa Puff cereal
(2) STORE COUPONS for $0.30 off one box Cocoa Puff cereal
$0.40 off one box of Betty Crocker Au Gratin potatoes
(3) $0.25 off one box Betty Crocker potatoes
$0.75 off two Lipton Knorr Pasta/Rice sides
After-Coupon Prices:
All Small & Mighty $1.99
2 blocks of Philly Cream Cheese $0.253 boxes of PopTarts $4.00
2 boxes General Mills Cocoa Puffs $1.884 boxes Betty Crocker potatoes $2.852 Lipton Knorr Pasta Sides $3.25
Without coupons/preferred card savings, my total would have been $48.95. I only paid $4.33 out-of-pocket. That's a 91% savings!!! I used the $15.00 in catalinas I had, so I am officially out of catalinas.
Obviously, the Nabisco cookies were snacks for Aurora. I find it easier to do couponing in-stores with her if she has snacks. These little cups are perfect for my "coupon bag", and fit very nicely in the cupholders of her stroller or in the cupholders in carts.
The water bottle was for Justin - he is preparing to go out to sea, so I wanted him to have a newer water bottle, since this is about twice the size of his current one.
The coupons I am most excited about are the All Small&Mighty internet printable for $2.00 off - it's not too often you get a great brand like All for $1.99! And I am also extremely excited about my Philly Cream Cheese coupons - getting two blocks for $0.25 is AWESOME.
