Have a great shopping trip at Target!

Remember you may not use all this stuff but if you can get something for free, buy it anyway and keep it in a box you set aside to donate to your local Food Bank or the Salvation Army. Somebody less fortunate can always benefit with your frugality!

At June 23, 2009 at 2:49 PM , Marina@EBMR said...: I guess Coupons.com reset. Made changes to the Crystal Light. There's a Bricks link from which you can print off two times. If you access to more than one computer, you can get upto 2 per comp.

At June 28, 2009 at 12:02 AM , Maria Lopez said...: This is a great list!!! Almost all of this iteams are not in my local target!! I have search and search both targets in my area are rather small and their food section even smaller. I have not found the Vaseline in the travel section for weeks now. I am planning to drive to Riverside, Ca for business and I am soooooo stopping at their super target to get this deals. Specially because I have a $5 GC from last weeks gillette deals. I have not found the irish spring double pack or soft soap in order to get the $5 GC I am really hoping to find it in super target :). Thank you for pitting this together as I will take advantage of it this upcoming week!
