Frugal Fritzie

I stopped in at Target late today and didn’t find a whole lot that I was looking for, but I didn’t really expect to on late Sunday. Here’s what I did find:

• Papermate Pens (10 ct.) – $1.00, Used $1.00/1 store coupon HERE
• 3 Crystal Light (2 @ $1.97, 1 @$2.04), Used $1.00/1 Crystal Light Drink Mix coupon from the 6/12 SS insert, $1.00/2 tearpad coupon & Used $1.00/3 Target store coupon HERE (zipcode 78660)
• 4 Up&Up Hydrogen Peroxide – $0.64 ea., Used 4 $0.75/1 Up&Up First Aid Target store coupons (no longer available, the coupons auto-adjusted to $0.64)
• Final Cost $3.12

So, I haven’t done a whole lot of shopping since the tornado here in Joplin, but I’m slowly trying to get back into the groove of things and will begin posting my trips again on a regular basis. I didn’t start out with any Register Rewards today, so I did the following transactions in the order below to minimize my out of pocket cost:

Transaction #1:

• Bought 2 Oral-B Advantage Complete Toothbrushes – 2/$5.00, Used 2 $2.00/1 coupon from the 7/3 P&G insert (expires 7/31)

• Bought Wexford Folder $0.11
• Used $2.00 RR from previous transaction
• Final Cost $5.23 & got back $3.50 RR (This RR ends today 7/31, I had my doubts it would print so I didn’t post about it, but to my surprise it printed without any issues)

Another note: I also noticed today at Walmart that they are currently taking $0.10 off a gallon with their gift card. So I was able to get gas today for $3.43 a gallon instead of $3.59 at most places.
