Here are the details of my shopping trip to Target today.  I prepared quite a bit for this trip looking for thinkgs I needed at home and items that when combined offered Target Gift Cards.  
I combined Target printable coupons with manufacturer coupons.  I also purchased items from my ibotta app shopping list.  Here is the summary of my trip.  I saved 58% and I have $20 in Target Gift Cards for my next trip!!

So, I decided that I would try out some extreme couponing yesterday after reviewing the Dollar Tree coupon matchups on www.thekrazycouponlady.com.  It didn't turn out as well as I had expected.  Here is what I was planning to get:

1: Multi-Grain Cheerios Peanut Butter, $1.00 , regular price


Or $1.00/3 – General Mills Cereal – (coupons.com)

Final Price: $0.67 each if you buy 3 (They did not have this product in stock)

2: A&D Cream, 1.5 oz $1.00, regular price


Use $1.00/1 – A & D Product – (bricks.coupons.com)

Final Price: Free (They did not have this product in stock)

3: Air Wick Candle, 3.25 oz $1.00, regular price

Use $2.00/2 Air Wick Candles, excludes Color Changing from SS 10/28 (exp 11/25)

Final Price: Free (They did not have this product in stock)

4: Efferdent, 16 ct $1.00, regular price

Even though I only was able to find two of these products in stock, I was still able to walk out of the store without paying anything for either item.  I plan to go to my other Dollar Tree tomorrow to see if they have any of the items that I couldn't find at the other store in stock.
