Goodbye Walmart...Hello Target!


Price before coupons: 52.94
Final Cost 25.65
I paid out of pocket 5.65


I have discovered Target. I have always liked Target but felt they were too expensive but as I shop there more and more I find they beat Walmart's prices. It's Hip to Save always has the best line up for Target deals. I know this was late telling you about my deals but I wanted to show you it can be done! She will have another great list starting tomorrow. And some of these deals are still not over. I am sorry if I don't have complete links or dates for coupons. I clip all my coupons and don't always know which week they came from. Here's how I did it:

Digiorno Flatbread Melts

Pharmacy gift cards
Last week in Target's ad they had a coupon if you transferred a prescription they would give you a $10 gift card. I transferred 2 prescriptions. That took $20 off my total.

As the grocery shopper for a family of eight I was an avid Walmart shopper. Despite others boycotting Walmart I had to shop there because they were the lowest price in town.

We are a big family trying to live on one income and I have to do what works for my family. Being that I am a price sluth I am not blind to the fact that Walmart is raising their low prices. They do have prices here and there that are lower than other stores but they're not beating everyone's price in town anymore. Target I have found is becoming my new discount store.
