Shopping Trip $1.44 oop

[Princess Amy]

Don't dive in just stand on the outside and reach in. I have gotten 20 inserts or more in the past. Thursday is the day to go.

They are in the Feb 2010 P&G insert. It has a mom and daughter ice skaters on the cover.

Where are you finding the small clinical deo adn body washes? I didn't see any while I was there today. Still trying to get the hang of this though. While I was at Walmart, they had clinical deo with all the other travel size stuff. Is that what it is? It was like .5 oz or something. I'm not sure what counts as trial size or not when I coupon says it excludes trial size. Help??

Hi Amy,
What size were the body wash for 1.79? were they the full size and/or is that the sale price? Doing more Target bargains tomorrow so I am getting prepaed! Thanks!

[noritaarf]

I haven't seen the smaller clinicals at Wal-Mart, so don't know about that. But at Target they are on a special display of $1.79 Gillette products, on the side of an end cap. Not necessarily the Gillette aisle end cap, you'll just have to look for them. They'll be in the HBA dept, but could be on the side of any random end cap.

[Princess Amy]

I think they are 8oz. They are not with the 12 oz. They are hanging on a display at the end of the isle.

[lookintosave]

Thanks for posting your deal! I got the body washes late last night at 21 & Yale. They still had about 12 left.

Hope this helps some one who is new. I'm a coupon coach too, if you need help saving. Request me at the store.

I'm new to all of this and am trying to make sure I understand it all in order to make the most of my couponing. Please tell me if I am understanding this correctly...

You bought 4 body washes (with 2-buy 2 coupons) and they took 2 of the same coupon? Up to now, I thought I could only buy one of a particular item at once and would have to make a return trip to purchase more of the same items with multiples copies of the same coupon. Example, I have 2 coupons for the Monopoly game at Target, so I could grab 2 of them at once and they'd take both coupons? I wouldn't have to make 2 separate trips? This would simplify my life in a HUGE way!

As long as you have a coupon for each item you buy....then you can use one coupon for each item. So for the monopoly games...if you buy 2 games then you can use 2 coupons. I know some of the internet coupons say "one per transaction" but that only means you can buy one item per coupon you have, meaning that if you had 5 monopoly coupons, then you could buy 5 games.

Hopefully this helps!

Wow...I can't tell you how happy I am to hear that! I just assumed that "one per transaction" meant I'd have to bring my husband along to purchase the 2nd one for me! Thanks so much for your help! This couponing thing gets better and better all the time!

I know what you mean. The wording on the coupons always through me too. You will get the hang of it!

If you get really brave...you can actually stack coupons at Target. Has anyone told you that?

Basically there are manufacturer's coupons and then Target puts out there "own" coupons. So if for example you had a manufacturer's coupon for Colgate toothpaste and a Target coupon for the exact same thing, then you can use both! Cool huh? You can go to the Target website and look and see what they have.
