Poptarts...

I went to Target the other day on my trial run shopping spree. While I was there I missed a HUGE deal. Well, maybe not huge to normal people, but to me, it was the worst miss ever.

Target had a 4/$9.00 deal on various products (Poptarts and Rice Krispy Treats, a couple others) and when you buy 4, you get a $5.00 Target giftcard. I had missed that in the sale paper and read about it in a forum after I'd already been to the nearest store, which is about 45 miles away. I wasn't about to pay $20.00 in gas to get Pop Tarts that cheap.

Today, a friend said she needed to go down and look for Scrappin' stuff for a big day we have planned for tomorrow. Her mom said she didn't want her driving down alone and suggested I ask to go with her. I was about to text her and ask and she texted ME asking if i wanted to ride with her! So of course, I went, hoping she'd swing into Target so I could pick this deal up.

I printed off a few Target coupons from afc and took them in hoping for the best.

I got 4 12 pack boxes of Pop Tarts for 9.00

I had 4 .50/1 Target coupons for Pop Tarts, bringing me down to 7.00 total.

I got a $5.00 giftcard for my purchase (which is being saved for Christmas shopping) bringing my grand OOP down to $2.00!!! I got FOUR boxes of Pop Tarts for 50 cents each!!!

I've been waiting to try a Target deal but I haven't been able to get down there for one, and when I missed this one the first time around, I was pretty bummed.
