Its been awhile..But Im back ! ;-)

Its been almost three weeks since my last post but several things have come in my way. I first got sick , had flu like symptoms for over a week. I had stopped all of my yoga exercise routine and my nutrition suffered because I really cant eat when Im sick. I did not go out to adventure all grocery and pharmacy stores for deals. So I did not do my extreme couponing trip, like I usually do every week or two. It was for sure a long two and half weeks for me. I also had concern that I wouldn't be well enough to drive because I had to get my niece a birthday gift. I had gray clouds ;-( lol A friend of mine that I called for help, did me the favor of taking me to my doctors appointment and even took me to Target for my first outing in days lol I had to know what deals where out lol. Thanks again buddy ;-)

But now I'm slowly getting better, not as fast as I anticipated but I guess we experience a long flu sometime or another. lol So has soon has I had enough energy to go out shopping again, I did. ;-) I went to two local target stores and I walked through the isle for sales. I kept mental memory for the things I personally know I would purchase if I came back. So out the two stores, I chose my finale store. And had a very successful extreme shopping trip. First let me share the following steps I have taken to have a successful trip. Of course, checking the stores deals outside. Checking for online Target coupons and checking for any deals that may not be advertised in store but online. I than checked for manufacture coupons online and matched them to my Target ones. This is what you call stacking coupons, using manufacture and in-store coupons on one item. Double the savings lol Target fortunately had clothing coupons for men,woman and children this week.

For only 80 dollars ;-) I got two pairs of juniors denim jeans, three children clothing items,2 pack of caprise juice,office supplies,2 Gatorade's, 2 teddy graham boxes,two digiorno pizzas with bread sticks in each box, 2 TV dinners,4 puree baby food packs, gift bag, half gallon of milk, 4 red plums, 1 bottle of ketchup, children's white board and marker/eraser dollar section pack lol and for the grand finally ! A purse for 7 dollars priced originally for 30 dollars a week and a half ago at Target. Hurray ;-)



This week I was on a 100 dollar budget for my outing. So with 20 dollars left I treated my friend to Souplantaion with of course a buy one get one free breakfast meal and drinks included coupon. My friend and I plus my son ate for only 15 dollars at a buffet and originally without a coupon it would of cost 30 dollars plus tax. And with 5 dollars remaining...a number one at McDonald's was purchased lol nam nam yum lol Hurray what a successful trip in deed ;-)

Thanks for reading ;-)
