I spent $100, but saved $52.

I am so awesome.

Here's why:

Yesterday we went to Target. I needed to get some toiletries and paper products that we had run out of. (Well, I have a list of all the toiletries, cleaning supplies, and paper products that we use. On this list, I have the best price that I've found and where I've found it. Most of the items on the list have their best prices at Target since J gets a 10% discount.) So anyways, off to Target we went. Before we went I looked at Target's weekly ad so I had a game plan! And it was an awesome game plan. I saved $52.08.

I saved $15 on Enfamil formula using formual checks. Goob isn't on formula yet, but we wanted to start stocking up since he will be in a few months.

I saved $7.32 on paper towels. Target had a special on Bounty. I usually spend $11 for 12 rolls and they were $7 for 12 rolls. We bought two packages.

I saved $10 on cereal. Target had a special to buy 4 boxes of Kellogg's cereal for $10. AND if you bought 4 boxes, you'd get a $5 Target Gift Card. So we bough 8 boxes of cereal, and got 2 $5 gift cards. (J loves cereal!)

I saved $6.92 on deoderant. They were packaged 3 deoderants for $4.99. Regular price would have been $6.72 for 3. So we took advantage and bought 2 3-packs for me and 2 3-packs for J.

I saved $.86 on face wash and astringent. They were just 10% off, but since every little bit helps, I stocked up.

Finally, we saved $10.84 with J's 10% discount.

In the car on the way home, J apologized for thinking I'm nuts for being a coupon fanatic and so frugal. Yay.
