Back To School Shopping At Target- 7/21

Filed under Back To School by Jennifer Billy on July 22, 2011 at 10:27 am {no comments}

I did some back to school shopping yesterday at Target. I was in a rush and did all the calculations in my head so I am surprised that I did as well as I did. Before tax my total came to $.02!

Here is the breakdown-

(2) Cottonelle Wipes- $2.24
(2) Kleenex- $.39
Papermate Pens- $1
Bic Ballpoint pens- $.50
Crayola markers- $.99
(2) RoseArt Glue Sticks- $.20
(2) Crayola Glue Sticks- $.40
(2) Crayola Crayons- $.40
(2) Scotch Magic Tape- $.50
Total- $10.75
Coupons used-
(2) Free Cottonelle Wipes- saved $4.48
$1.25/2 Cottonelle Wipes Target coupon
(2) $1 Papermate pens Target coupon
(2) $1 off Scotch Magic tape
(2) $.50 off Scotch magic tape Target coupon
Final Price- $.02 ($.51 with tax)

* I did make one mistake that turned out to be to my advantage. I was going to get two Papermate pens and use two $1 coupons, making them free. However I did grab a Bic instead. I honestly did not realize that I did this since I was in such a hurry and still gave my two Papermate coupons. The cashier also did not notice and let both coupons go through. This gave me an extra $.50 so my total should have been $.52. Still would not have been bad.
