Target Know-How

There haven't been any deals screaming at me from the Target ads lately. I am an avid Target shopper, but since becoming a stay-at-home mom my trips are limited to "good deals only!!". That being said, I thought I would share a couple things that can make your Target trips a little more enjoyable (and less spendy).

1. Check the Target website for their store coupons. These coupons can be combined with manufacturer coupons (the ones you clip out of the paper or print off the internet from sites like coupons.com). As long as one coupon says "Manufacturer" and one coupon says "Target" on the top, go ahead and "stack" them together to get a great deal on everyday needs!

2. Sign up for Target Mobile Coupons. If you have a smartphone you can sign up your number here and you will get exclusive coupons about every 2 weeks. These coupons require text message and data usage (since you have to access the internet to get them), so make sure your plan has these features so you don't get charged for them. These coupons are "Target" coupons so you can stack them with manufacturer coupons. When you want to use them you just show the cashier your phone and they scan the barcode that appears at the top of the message.

3. Sign up for a Target RedCard. I am a big proponent of debt-free living and HATE credit cards, but Target just came out with a Debit RedCard. This card is linked directly to your checking account and works just like your debit card by withdrawing the money immediately. The benefit of using the RedCard is that you get 5% off ALL your purchases. This card can ONLY be used at Target.

And those are a few ways to get the most out of your trips to Target. Happy Shopping!

Country Bob's Giveaway

Who's up for a giveaway!?! Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce was nice enough to send me a big pile of coupons for a FREE bottle of their Regular or Spicy sauce to give away. They didn't ask for me to do a review, but I will tell you that we love this sauce at my house! Even my boys like it. It is good on just about any meat.

In our area, the sauce is available at Walmart and Woodman's. If you have a minute, look around their website. There are recipes and the story of how this Illinois based company got started. They are a great Christian company... in fact, each bottle says "Christ is our CEO"! They also have a very active Facebook page where they do frequent giveaways.

Fill out the form below to enter the giveaway. There will be TEN winners!! I will mail each winner two coupons for a FREE bottle. You can use them both yourself or give one to a friend! One entry per person. The giveaway starts now and will end at 10:00pm on May 17th.

Amazon Deal: Pampers Easy Ups

I just shared an Easy Up Training Pants deal on Facebook, but when I went to order I had a bit of trouble finding the boy's package that had the $1.50 coupon attached so I thought I'd link them directly:

                     OR
For the girls 2T/3T 108 count package for $18.80 

Here's the scoop: Sign up for Amazon Mom if you haven't already.  There will be $1.50 coupon on the page, just click on it to activate it. Choose "Subscribe and Save" and proceed to checkout. Your total will be $18.80 including shipping! Once you receive your order go back to your Amazon account and cancel any further shipments.

If you are interested move quickly... these Amazon deals have been known to disappear!

Thanks Common Sense with Money!!
