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.
