What can $2.47 get me at Target?

I have found a new addiction. Freebie sites. The past few months I've been signing up for free samples and in the past week or so, I've discovered that coupons are just as good. Target accepts a manufacturer's coupon and a Target coupon for each item.

Last night, I perused one of my favorite sites and began my quest to download and coordinate coupons to get as much as I could for free or almost free. Here is what I got....

Sobe Lifewater....Target has a .50 off coupon for the water which is 1.00 this week making the water .50
2 8 packs of Juicy Juice....the Juice is 2.29 each, Redplum had a coupon for 1.00 off and I printed (2) 1.00 Target coupons making the grand total for the juice 1.58
2 cans of Chef Boyardee...Target has coupons for 1.00 off one can. You can print up to two coupons for each item from the Target coupons. The item was .99 each making the Chef Boyardee FREE
Con Agra has a coupon for 1.50 off of (4) listed items, including Chef Boyardee and Banquet meals. Since I only had 2 coupons for the Chef, I got 2 Banquet meals at .68 each with the 1.50 coupon they were FREE
Bic Pens are .99 each, Target has a coupon for 1.00 off making them FREE
Willy Wonka Bar...Redplum had a 1.00 off coupon and Target had a 1.00 off coupon. The candy bar was 1.97 with the coupons the bar was FREE
Bagel bites...2.24 for a package, Target had 1.00 off and Ore Ida had 1.00 off making them .24

My receipt lists my savings as 12.66. Pretty sweet deal if I do say so myself.

We also went to Staples and saved 5.00 by getting 2 -6 packs of highlighters, regular price of 2.00 for .25 each and 2 - storage boxes, regular price 1.00 for .25 each. Total at Staples was 1.07
