You probably know Groupon as the place to go and get amazing deals for about half of the regular price, right? But did you know they're also a great place to get coupons ? For example, you can look up Hello Fresh : We've been using HelloFresh for months. They deliver a box to our front porch every Monday with all of the ingredients we need to make home-cooked meals from scratch in about half an hour. We enjoy a variety of food . . . it's convenient . . . and honestly we save money over fast food and carry-out. If you use Groupon coupons , you can actually get $40 off your first box and $20 off the next one! Or you can find coupons for things you are already buying online - Target , Amazon , Ebay , or Walgreens . Before you buy anything else online, check out Groupon Coupons and see if you can save some more money. Save Save

Have you seen these in Target recently? My boys have repeatedly asked for them, and they have so many themes you will easily be able to make every child you're buying for this year happy... If you've been around little kids much you know two things they're big on - #1: Hanging things on their walls, even if it's stickers or hand-drawn pictures and #2: NOT being in the dark. 3DLightFX solves both of these issues and it's a reasonable price so it won't break your Christmas budget, either. You can get them at Target online for as low as $19.99 and on Amazon , as well.

So I bought two cart loads, spent less than $100 and saved more than $700 this morning at Target. Check out your local Target and see if they are at 90% off as well. Not only did I buy Halloween costumes ahead of time for next year, but I bought a stock of cookie and cake mixes at $.12 and $.16 each. I bought decorations - owl rug, owl cookie canister, glitter garland, pinecone lights, and more - that will work for any time of year. And I bought all of the pieces to do goodie bags for Halloween next year. This is my FAVORITE way to shop. LOL

I know, I know - I just disappeared with no explanation. I will get back to you on that.  But I did want to make sure you knew that NOW is the time to stock up for next Halloween! Went to Target this morning and costumes, decorations, etc. were at 70% off and candy was at 50% off. Watch carefully on the food, if your kids are like mine, they don't care one whit if they have granola bars, macaroni and cheese or fruit roll ups that are decorated like Halloween from now until Thanksgiving. Ha! But I also picked up several Funfetti cake mixes - you'll have to look closely, but some of them didn't expire until 2014 so for just a few cents I bought 2 cake mixes and 2 icings that I can use for next Halloween. CVS is also clearancing their Halloween stuff, but it's only at 50% off right now - and at the one store I stopped at, they had stuck it on an end cap.

Target has some great samples today - Starbucks K-cups, Garnier hair products and Shout Color Catcher. I got all of mine.

I just grabbed one of these Crane Nursery Humidifiers for $17.99 + tax shipped . We currently have three coughing, hacking, snuffly kids and only one humidifier. Even the cheap, generic humidifiers usually cost more than this . . . and these cute humidifiers are normally $39.99! This is a Target daily deal , so it ships for FREE. Use the code TGTHTT5Z at checkout to get an additional 10% off, as well.

Got a great insider tip today that toys are MEGA clearanced at Target. They'll go fast so run over now! I wish I could join you but I'm swamped with meetings and appointments today so find some bargains for me and come back and tell me what you found.

Our local Targets are  clearancing ...check yours!

Photo Credit: Totally Target I am hearing reports there are Targets that have gone to 90% off. Check yours and let me know. I haven't been able to make it over to our Target yet. I did make it to Mardel and it was 90% off. They didn't have a lot of stuff left, but I did pick up a few things. CVS stores are clearancing out at different times. I hit one that had everything Christmas at 75% off already - they had a BUNCH of toys, so I picked up a couple of those. But since then I've been in 2 or 3 more CVSes and they were all at 50% still. Just keep an eye out and you'll eventually hit some great deals. Let me know what you find. I have a huge stock, but I would love to pick up some extra bows, adhesive, boxes, maybe some gift tags. I'll let you know if I find anything else.

I have one boy who is a FANATIC about anything that involves color, art, paint, etc. He would have a cow with this item. Normally $29.99, the Crayola Glow Explosion Spin Magic is just $6.61 right now and with a $25 purchase it qualifies to ship for FREE!

You may know that Target has been having toys up to 75% off in their stores, but this is the first time I've seen them do a similar online toy clearance . Check it out now and see if there is anything worth buying and keeping for the next birthday or holiday celebration.

Target has this adorable Fisher Price Baby Bouncer on sale for $17.99 and because it's a Daily Deal it will ship for FREE too. Can't beat that!

Lots of great deals...make sure you check the dollar spot, clothes and toys as well.

Get two Degree Clinical Strength for the price of one after this gift card and sale.

  $25 for $25 Target Gift Card plus $50 Restaurant.com Credit If you are shopping at Target this holiday season, then this is an easy way to get $50 from Restaurant.com . Please remember that Restaurant.com “credit” is really just a discount on your meal. But we still buy and use them; I’m just not sure if it’s truly a $50 value as it seems to imply.

Playtex Spill-Proof cup  - $4.39 (Some stores vary a bit) Use $2/1 Playtex Spill-Proof Children’s Cup Target coupon AND use the $2/1 Playtex coupon (Coupon is emailed within a few hours of your registration) TOTAL: $.39 each! Thanks, Money Saving Mom !

This coupon is back! If you shop at Target , this is a coupon that will basically put money back in your pocket. If you need to buy a fairly high priced gift item, this coupon will make it $10 less right off the bat. But if you go to Target and spend $50 on things you don’t need, to get a $10 gift card . . . all you’ve accomplished is wasting $40!

Wow! What an awesome coupon . . . spend $50 at Target and get a $10 gift card . This is a legit coupon . You are printing directly from the Target website. Enjoy! Thanks TripleSmiles !
