I went into Target for only paper towels, I came out with much more.

Paper Towels
Not the best deal ever, but I needed paper towels.
Calculations:
$3.49 up&up paper towels
$0.50 Target coupon + 5% cartwheel coupon = $0.65 Off
$3.49 - $0.65 = $2.84

Then I saw that they had a sale going on for the cereal, and the hubby has been wanted some Crispex lately. The sale was buy 5 select boxes of cereal (which as far as I could tell was all of the cereal) and get a free $5 gift card.
Calculations:
3 boxes of Crispex at $2.99 ea = $8.97
1 box of Raisin Bran and 1 box of Reeses Puffs = $6.68
Subtotal = $15.65
$15.65 subtotal - $2 coupons - $5 gift card = $8.65
$8.65 total / 5 items = $1.73 each


Then I remembered that hubby wanted some ham and hoagies.

*I found Pepperidge Farm hoagies on sale for $2.39 from $2.99. Minus $0.50 coupon, the grand total for the hoagies was $1.89.

I used a coupon for the ham. Land o Frost priced at $3.99 - $0.55 coupon = $3.44 total.

*I had a coupon for a Lunchables Uploaded pack. Priced at $3.49 - $1 coupon = $2.49 total.

I had an ibotta coupon for an Evol burrito. $2 burrito - $1 ibotta coupon = $1 total.

Plus, I got a $0.10 discount for bringing in my own reusable bags.

On this shopping trip, I paid a total of $29.38 and saved a total of $14.14 or 34%. Mostly name brand, some off-brand. All stuff that we would've bought anyway.

*I forgot to use these two coupons! Oh no! Somehow they just stayed in my envelope. :( I've dealt with this once before, though. Fortunately, Target customer service is usually pretty good about redeeming coupons after-the-fact IF you don't make a habit out of it. If that doesn't work, I'll simply return those items and then re-buy them using my coupons. :)
