Our Target Shopping Trip Results With Coupon Matchups So That You Can Get the Deals Too!

We shared the results of the best Walmart shopping trip we’ve had in six years HERE – not because we had the lowest and best deals ever (even though it did include 19 FREE items!) but rather because we discovered a very special treat for our family that we haven’t been able to have in over 6 years.

Well, last week, we also hit Smiths (our Kroger store) and Target as well.  We’ve been wanting to share the results of our trip, but it has been a rough few days (since Friday of last week acutally!) and you can find out why here.

With that being said, we are sharing our trip now, and although it was last week that we did this, most of these deals are Temporary Price Cuts that last through 1/28/12 or 2/4/12 so you can still grab a number of the deals! Plus, this week, there have been TONS of new deals (so we may have to go again this week ;)) and we will share the new deals that popped up in another post hopefully this afternoon!
