Target & Old Navy Shopping Trips: FREE waste basket & toothbrush holder!

I’ve got a couple of fun shopping trips to share with you guys. I’m especially excited about my Target trip. Just take a look at what I got for ONLY $0.28!

That’s right. Only $0.28! The bathroom waste basket and the toothbrush holder were absolutely FREE using a $10 coupon on Target’s website at the moment. And I only ended up paying $0.14 each for the Up & Up Liners also using a couple of coupons off of Target’s website for feminine care products. Here’s a breakdown:

$9.99 Waste Basket
-$10.00 Target Bathroom Furnishings Coupon (NO beeps)
=FREE

$9.99 Toothbrush Holder
-$9.99 Target Bathroom Furnishings Coupon (this coupon beeped but right away the cashier and supervisor agreed that is was a bathroom furnishing & adjusted the coupon and put it through – yay!)
=FREE

$0.89 Up & Up Liners
-$0.75 Target Feminine Care Product coupon
=$0.14

Besides these deals, I also found Annie’s natural snack bunnies on sale for $1.99 for the kids. I picked up some boxes of those because I never find them below that price. Sorry I didn’t get a picture of those.

Overall, though, it was a great trip! I haven’t gotten deals as good as these in a long time.

Onto the next store. We also went to Old Navy today to use a Groupon that was available a few weeks ago. I and hundreds of thousands of other happy people picked up a Groupon for $20 at Old Navy that only cost $10. So we essentially paid $10 for $20 worth of merchandise at Old Navy. I thought this was a good deal.

For me, though, it didn’t end up being as good of a deal as I thought because I thought Old Navy’s prices were a little high compared to what I normally pay shopping Kohl’s clearance racks for the kids. And even Old Navy’s clearance was a disappointment. I suppose I’m just used to the nice clearance prices that  Kohl’s offers. I actually feel like I’m getting a great deal there. Anyway, here’s what I picked up.

$0.47 Tootsie Roll lunch box

$7.99 Boy’s Hat

$5.00 Girl’s yellow Shirt

$6.00 Boy’s orange Shirt

$1.00 Sweet Tarts  (filler)

After my Groupon, I paid $1.22 out of pocket. Not bad, but technically I paid $11.22 for everything because of the $10 that I initially paid for the Groupon. I guess this experience turned out okay, but I think I’m going to stick to Kohl’s in the future. If fact, I have a $10 Kohl’s gift card headed my way from MyPoints! I can’t wait to use it in conjunction with one of the coupons that Kohl’s frequently puts out.
