Super Couponer

I did a few Target deals today. Actually I ended up going to 3 different Targets today, now that I think about it. I went first thing this morning (well 10 o'clock - if you consider that first thing!) with 2 kids in tow, a trip during nap time with no kids and then another run tonight before bedtime. I ended up with 20 boxes of fruit crisp, 12 Gilette Body Washes and 10 boxes of Claritin.

S has to take Claritin every day to help with his allergies. We have to pay out of pocket and it costs about $51 a month. I noticed this morning that the 10mg pill was on sale for a 10 count for $8. S takes 2 5 mg pills right now. I called the dr and they agreed 1 10mg should work. There was a $4 coupon in the paper last week so it's only $4 for a box that will last 1/3 of the month, meaning only $12 a month vs. $51 a month I was paying. I was able to get 10 boxes from 3 different Targets. Better yet is I was able to use some of the gift cards from the lotion deal last week and the fruit crisp deal this week so it was only $15 out of pocket for all 9 Claritins and the fruit crisps!!!!! I literally cried when I got back in the van, with relief because I was worried about having to pay for S's medicine next month. I was going to shut off the cable to help pay for his medicine and now it's not necessary. We have 3 months supply and enough rainchecks and coupons for another 3 months - woohoo!!
