Today was one of those days where everything seemed to go right. I had a great 9 mile run this morning, the weather was a bit warmer, the sun was out and most importantly, Target was FULLY STOCKED with the items I needed to score big time. Ha. If you read my post earlier this week (go Here) you will know I already tried to do this deal earlier in the week. However, Target didn’t have the necessary items needed for me to maximize my coupons and the Target weekly deal. **Before you read any further, please know this Target sale, ends today (Saturday, Feb 20th).** I spent $15.55 out of pocket on all of the items above. I saved $106.64, received $15 in Target Gift Cards to use next time, AND I will receive $15.00 from the Olay rebate. Yeah!! Target paid me $14.45 to take home over $106 worth of merchandise!
I broke down the items above into two transactions. I did the same transaction each time.

3 Venus Breeze Razors $20.97 (minus three $2.00/1 P&G coupons) 1 Gillette Fusion Razor $6.99 (minus one $4.00/1 P&G coupon) 3 Olay Body Wash $16.50 (minus three Free Olay Wash coupons wyb 1 Venus Razor) Total Spent after coupons: $15.55 Received three $5.00 Target Gift CardsTransaction Two

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
