Target Tuesday

It's Target Tuesday! Did you get your cheap games last week? We got some! Classic Monopoly, Get Out of Jail Monopoly, Scrabble Slam!, and Pictureka! (with the flipping Penguin) all for just $22! I was very happy. Plus I still have coupons left over, so I'm going to go back this week for more. We love games at our house. :)

Alright, so let's see what we can get this week at Target...

If you treated these deals with the gift cards like you would with the rewards systems at a drugstore, you could help keep your OOP expense lower by doing several small transactions. For simplicity sake you could do this: start with the Quaker deal as your first transaction. Then buy the Gillette Venus razors and body wash, using the gift card from the Quaker deal to lower your OOP. Next up would be the Gillette Fusion transaction, using the card from the Venus deal. Finishing up with Healthy Choice using - you guessed it - the card from the Fusion deal. If you did it that way your ending OOP should be approx. $24 and you walk away with a $5 gift card (if you did all of these together you'd be looking at approx. $39 OOP and $20 in gift cards). So the outcome actually ends up being the same, the difference is really how much you want to spend out of your own pocket.

As always, if you don't recognize my acronyms, you can read them here.
And if you don't have these mfr coupons you can order from here and here.
