Target Trip: $95.35 for $18.86

Target has the only style of jeans that seem to fit Emma, and since she seems intent lately on ripping out the knees of every pair of jeans she owns, we made a quick Target run yesterday. Here's what we ended up with. (Click the image to enlarge.)


Merchandise Value: $95.35
What I Spent: $18.86
Savings: $76.49 (80%)

I love shopping at Target, because they allow you to stack a manufacturer's coupon with a Target coupon. (If you're new, stack means to use two coupons for one item. You can do this if you have a manufacturer's coupon and a store-issued coupon.) Target offers their own printable coupons HERE. I know that they will be resetting the coupons soon, but hopefully you can still print the ones that I used for these deals.

Let me break down some of these great deals for you. I know that some of the printable coupons are no longer available, but I'm hoping that some of you printed them when they were available and still have them.
