I haven’t been to Target yet to see if their toy catalog is out yet, but I did find a link for their printable coupons online. There are some good deals to be had. The first one I noticed was the Hasbro games. There are a few TARGET coupons you can print (or cut if you have the actual printed catalog) and then you can print a couple of coupons from the HASBRO website to use together with the Target coupon.

Target is one of the wonderful stores that allows you to use a store coupon WITH a manfacturer coupon. So…. GOOD DEALS! I am sure there are more but that’s what I’ve found so far.

So you can use 1 of these (this is a sample, just for you to see):

AND 1 of these for the SAME item:

Target has the Connect 4×4 game on sale for $14.99 this week and you can use a $5 off coupon from Hasbro and get it for $9.99. It looks like a fun variation to the original game that we like!

Good deal if you are going to be shopping at World Market either today or tomorrow… if you spend $10 in store (which is easy to do at that store!) you can register your receipt online and get a free movie ticket through Fandango. I wouldn’t run out and shop there but if you happen to be in there anyway… checking out their Halloween/Fall clearance or something… might as well get in on this deal too. A free ticket to New Moon would be nice

If you are in Southwest Washington, you’d want to head out to the very East end of Mill Plain out there in Fisher’s Landing. If not, you can find a store near you by clicking here.

Add $21.50 (or more) of Clinique product to your cart. Your product of choice. I chose moisturizer that I needed anyway, but there are lots of options!

When you go through checkout, a few free items will be added to your cart automatically. I got a free pink ribbon charm, pink ribbon pin, and a healthy lifestyles guide.

Happy Shopping!

Found this coupon the other day and I had forgotten about it… but then saw it again over at Coupon Geek and it reminded me to print it out. It’s a pdf file, so there are no limits to how many coupons you can print. (These would make great stocking stuffers!) Just print fast before they take it down. Coupon Geek suggests using this Q in combination with the Walgreens Easy Saver coupon for $2 off a brush, so you’d have a total of $4 off one of their Ouchless line of brushes. I don’t know what those brushes retail for, but it sounds like a good deal! I also know that Walmart and Target have the ouchless headbands and ponytail holders Ashlyn loves to wear to basketball and she seems to lose them almost as fast as I buy them. I think they are right around $2.00 so this coupon would make them almost free!

McKenzie swept the sidewalk earlier today in hopes of earning some extra school clothes money. She does this often, she’ll get a wild hair and make this BIG list of different chores that she thinks is worth $5. She gets as far as the final chore on the list and is then bored and moves onto do something else.

After she did her sweeping, she heard some buzz around our neighborhood that there was a garage sale, on the next street over. There went her jump start on school clothes. She hit up Daddy for cash, and got $3.00. I tried to explain to her, not to buy anything that we don’t need that would end up just going back into a garage sale we would have later. I probably should have walked with her but I kind of wanted to see what she’d come up with.

She came back a little bit later with change that she was going to share with Bailey, by taking her for a return trip to the sale. So, Bailey comes running in and says she bought me something. She pulls out this white crocheted pot holder. Not something I think I’d use to grab ahold of a hot pan with, it’s really thin. But it’s pretty and someone obviously put some hard work into it. She tells me “I almost bought you a jammie dress”…. David thought that was funny! Oh my. Glad she decided against it! I’m not sure I could have made myself wear something like that, EVEN for her sweet little face. She also bought this rather large blanket… with cardinals and birdhouses on it.

I asked McKenzie what she’d bought… and she said “oh just some baskets”… and I kind of thought to myself, “sensible purchase” LOL. Then she goes and gets them and I couldn’t help but laugh a little. She was so proud of the deal she had gotten on them. The guy had them marked $2 each (no wonder why they were still there Sunday night of a 3 day garage sale!) and sold them to her $1 for both of them. She said “mommy, I got $3.00 off!” At least she was looking for a bargain! That’s my girl I was waiting for her to rattle off something about the percent of markdown that was LOL. It was cute, we got a good chuckle out of it.

Now what am I to do with this JUNK? The girls decided Great Grandma will like the pot holders (did I tell you, McKenzie got the matching one… they were in the FREE box she tells me), her favorite color is purple and Bailey says “they are her style” and Plain Grandma loves birdhouses, so she may get that blanket. Maybe Grandma Lisa needs a nice new basket. Mckenzie has plans for those though, she wants to put dirt and seeds in them. LOL. GIRLS! A deal is a deal only if it’s something you NEED! They’ve got some learning to do!

But I will say it was $3 of entertainment

This will come in handy for Summer parties! I got it in my email, but it looks like anyone can use it!

$5 off $25 at Party City

Expires 6/29/08.

* 5 Johnson & Johnson’s Soap Buddes (Regularly .97, with $1 off printable coupon = FREE)
* 5 Glade Wisp Flameless Candle Starter Kits (On sale for $5.99, $5 off printable coupon = .99)
* 1 Glade Scented Oil Refill (Not on sale, but free with coupon)

** My little plug for Glade products: I am addicted to smelly things, especially candles, air freshners, and the like. I love Glade products. I have been purchasing these for years and years. I love them, but they are expensive, so I do only purchase them on sale and with a good coupon. A few weeks ago, I took a moment to email the makers of Glade…. and I told them how much I like their products and they sent me a coupon for a free product. I used that today

The Glade Wisps are great for an air freshner for your car, bathroom, walk in closet, etc. The candles are a little goofy…. but, the wisp refills are over $2.50 alone, so getting the candle and a refill for .99 is a great deal, and it comes with 2 Energizer batteries (LOL). Plus, the technology on the warmer units themselves does get better over time and I was ready to replace the few Wisp holders I already have. It was $$ well spent

free mango Fruitista from Taco Bell. You can print out a couple of coupons from that site, they are GOOD!

I am not an expert at this, but I’m learning! I admit I mostly grab these ideas from other sites (I use lots, but two of my favorites are Money Saving Mom and Hot Coupon World). It really just takes only a little bit of my time and if it helps us save money and continue using products we may not be able to enjoy with the rising costs of groceries, then I’m willing to do it. And the thrill of a good deal IS pretty exciting

If you are interested in any of the deals at Target, they are good through Saturday (the Soap Buddies are reg. priced at .97, so you can get them any time for free with the printable coupons). If you are interested in the Albertsons deals, I’d go quickly… things were going fast there, but that sale is good through Tuesday

All Small & Mighty: $1.00 each at Albertsons (sale through 5/20)

All Small & Mighty is on sale this week at Albertsons (our Northwest region does anyway - double check your local store if you aren’t in the NW) for 5 for $15 and when you buy 5 of them, you get $5 off your total at checkout, so that makes them $2 a bottle. You can print unlimited (well, I printed 5, but I assume it’s unlimited coupons for $1 off here. That makes them $1 a bottle or $5 for 160 loads of wash! Woohoo! Great Deal!! Now if only I could talk myself into believing that little TINY cap full of detergent washes a super large load of laundry!
