Back in the Swing–Some GREAT Target Deals

Shop For Mom + Get Free Shipping on $50 Purchase on Select Items

I have kind of a confession to make – before I had Weston (almost a year ago) I frequently shopped at Target and got incredible deals. It was a regular part of my routine along with the grocery store and CVS.

However, after I added a third child to the mess mix, I just stopped going anywhere unless it was at night or on the weekend. As you can imagine that cut down on my shopping time quite severely and I just stopped going to Target completely, except for the random purchase of a single full price item out of necessity.

Recently I received a gift card to Target and since there is a cruise on the horizon and this Momma has nothing appropriate that fits to wear, I ventured out to Target today with all three of the munchkins along.

Are you ready?

They were AWESOME!

And I found some great deals . . . but no clothes. I wasn’t good enough to pull that off. Guess that will have to be a solo trip some other time.

Here’s what I found:

1. Meat – lots of good cuts of meat with the $2 and $3 discount coupons stuck to them. The items were only $4 – $7 to begin with so that made them very cheap.

2. Classico Pasta Sauce – White sauce marked down to $2 a jar with coupons attached for buy 2 white sauces, get a red sauce for FREE. Also had a coupon for $1/2 Classico – so that was three jars of sauce for $3.

3. Toddler clothes – 75% off I picked up some lined navy pants in size 2T and 3T for Weston, just $1.75 each and an adorable striped, long-sleeved shirt for $1.50.

4. Target brand Pasta Sauce – On sale for $.97

5. Dannon Danimals Drinkable Yogurt Smoothies – $2.04 minus $1/1 coupons – $1.04

That’s about as far as I got before the natives were restless, but I was quite happy with it.

Have you found any incredible deals at Target recently that I should keep an eye out on my next trip?

    Our trips are always hurried when I really like to take my time. It hurts to walk now that i'm pregnant with my 6th, the kids always go crazy and i'm scrambling to find the coupons I need to use. I like my husband with me because I need the help and he's fun to shop with LOL. After all the coupons and discounts today it was a little under $50 when the total was over $100.. so not bad. Two boxes of diapers were the most of that.. glad that at least target had $1.50 off store coupons.
    I got a couple pair of jeans for $2.49 after a couple of $5 off coupons, cheap A&D ointment since target has $2 off coupons on their site, free lightbulbs, .15 cent cereal, free excedrin, free cake mix, cheap frozen veggies and salad dressing with more target coupons and several more items.

Not too long ago, I told you about my experience with Tropical Traditions organic coconut oil . Tropical Traditions was gracious enough to giveaway a bottle of that oil to one of the MelissaStuff readers. Recently, they offered to send me their palm shortening to try out. I love to bake so I was all about that offer. I was surprised when the “sample” arrived and it was a 1 gallon pail of shortening. I’m pretty sure that’s enough to make cookies for the next decade or so! Fair warning – when you go to use this for the first time, know that it will be difficult to get the lid off and if you aren’t particularly handy, you might want to have someone else around to help you. I didn’t and it took me about ten minutes, several different tools, and even breaking the tip off of an industrial file before I could get it. The shortening inside looks pretty normal, maybe a little less thick than standard shortening. I think it looks almost like mayonnaise. But it’s easy to scoop out and l...

Organic Detergent? {Giveaway}

-

So technically, I don’t think this detergent is actually organic, but it is non-toxic and environmentally safe. Can you say that for your detergent? This product was a surprise to me. I’m not picky about my detergent, but the only thing I do care about is how my detergent smells. Before I used Tropical Traditions Powdered Laundry Detergent I was concerned that it would have a chemical smell or worse the clothes would end up not smelling clean. But it smells GREAT without having any specific scent to it . . . it just smells clean . One thing that’s nice is it only takes 2 oz. to wash an entire load, so this fairly small container will do quite a number of loads – 40 to be exact. Right now, this size container is on sale for $16.99, but you can win it for FREE!

{EXPIRED} Giveaway: Make Your Own Soda (Cokes!)

-
Image
I have to admit that this review was one of the most FUN items we’ve done so far. My husband was actually more excited about trying it out than I was. Sodastream has an entire line of machines that allow you to make your own soda -  pop, cokes, whatever you make call it - at home. The process is super simple. We reviewed the Jet. It came in a large box. We took all of the pieces out and were able to start making drinks without washing or assembling anything. (We did rinse out the bottle just because I’m a nut like that.) There are two clear bottles to mix the drinks in, an O2 cylinder and the actual machine. You pop the O2 cylinder into the back of the machine. Then fill up one of the bottles with water to the fill line marked on the bottle. You push back on the button at the top of the front of the Sodastream machine which rocks out the Piece that the bottle screws on to. Once it is attached, you let go and the bottle returns to an upright position. You push the button...
