WHAT I WANT YOU TO KNOW SO YOU CAN DO THIS TOO

find target coupons here at organic grocery deals

i usually print the coupons using internet explorer instead of mozilla firefox. when i print with firefox, the coupons are usually too small

NOTES

this is a lot of money for me to spend in one transaction.

target has eggs for $1.09 this week, and cheese for $1.50. i stock up at these prices

the real deal for me - the reason i drove across town to target - is the tropicana orange juice. the price is $2.69, and i was able to combine the manufacturer coupon for $1.00 off 2 with the target coupon for $.50 off one. that made the price $1.69 each. this is "stock up" price for me. the oj is dated october 29, so 6 went in the freezer, 2 in the fridge. this will last for a while. the target coupons are good until nov. 7

i also stocked up on sugar in the raw. this is a product from maui. it is a "splurge" for us, but we keep it in the kitchen and enjoy it in our coffee each evening. Glen uses it in the morning, too, and i use honey unless we are out.

we were all out of laundry detergent except for a few sample sizes, because Glen Jr. moved into an apartment and i sent our arm & hammer with him, so the tide will hold us for little while as i look for a good deal
