Our Target Trip – Great Deals on Meats and Produce PLUS More!Our Target Trip – Great Deals on Meats and Produce PLUS More!

We had a great trip to Target yesterday! As you may have noted from earlier posts, the kids and I were out most of the day shopping, eating and playing!

Well, we had a trip to Target that was great.  First, the awesome Scrubbing Bubbles were wiped out! Those hot ones go quick from all of you coupon shoppers 😉

Anyway, 2 things that we love about Target – the meat quality is superb and they have many natural meat selections and the second it that the produce quality is superb as well! They also have a nice price tag that goes with the natural and quality factor.  However, nearly every time we can find our favorite natural meats marked down and sometimes awesome produce selections also marked down!! We love to find those treasures and that was pretty much what the majority of this shopping trip was!!

So, without the awesome Scrubbing Bubbles – we still had a great trip as we got those high quality items cheap.

Here’s the picture:

Grocery Summary: Shelf price of the above trip was $114.84, with $88.07 of it in meats and produce. Then used $16.32 in coupons and saved $49.18 in mark downs. Plus I had a $10 Target gift card from a previous trip that I got for FREE so this makes for a total of $75.50 in total discounts = final spent was $39.34! Saved 65%. Not bad at all with nearly all of it being organic and all natural meats and produce!

We also hit the clothing rack and I am going to show these separate as they come out of our $60 a month clothing budget.

Here’s a picture of what we bought:

I was so excited as they had absolutely adorable girls dresses on clearance for our baby girl to wear now.  Plus bought 2 complete outfits for our son for next year!

The total of all of these clothes was $109.94. The clearances prices brought them to $30.65. I then used the Target coupon for $5 off $30 clothing purchase which brought the new total down to $25.65!!! A savings of 77% off! I love the blue and purple flower dress – it is soooo cute.  Our 5 and 6 year old girls fell in love with the fluffy pink dress (so she can be just like a princess of course!). So now the baby is decked out in summer dresses for CHEAP! Yay!
