Reader Shopping Trip: Target

The links in the post below may be affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

Reader Kelly had a great trip to Target.  She did three transactions and saved 96%!!!

I logged on to LRWC to get my Target matchups and found a few things that I knew I just “had” to get! Thanks to your list, I was able to make my trip smooth, easy and painless as I presented each of my items and each of my coupons to the cashier.

I had 11 Gillette coupons to use which required a bit more planning. I split the items into three separate transactions because the coupons for the Gillette had “limit 4 per transaction” in the fine print, and since we are all responsible, rule following couponers, I wanted to be sure that none of my coupons were being used fraudulently.

4 travel size Gillette shave gels: $0.97 each
2 Scotch scissors: $1.49 each
