Too great not to share... Free Fries at Target!

When I saw the coupon for the fries and onion rings at Target, I flew out the door to go get it and took advantage of the impromptu trip to grab more Glade and the Little Debbie cakes I was waiting to get.

This coupon is still available as I write this, but it could go fast so print it now if you want it.  Just a little while ago, a new $2.50 off 1 coupon for the Alexia fries (or onion rings, there's a few products available) was released.  Get it here HERE  (print two per computer)
Stack it with the $1 off 2 Target coupon from Target.com and do this deal

Target:
Buy 2 Alexia frozen products $2.78 each (may vary)
Use (2) $2.50 off 1 Alexia manufacturer's coupon
Use (1) $1 off 2 Target coupon
--------
44 cent Moneymaker!!!!
Get paid to shop at Target!
of course they don't give you money back so apply the overage to something else.

I also picked up the Glade for 99 cents each.
They are $5.99 at Target.  Use the $4 off 1 coupon HERE (print two per computer)
Get a $1 off one Target coupon at Target.com
Equals $5 off each one

The Little Debbies are on sale for $1.50 (I think it's just the Valentines ones).
Use the 75 cent coupon from the paper last Sunday
Equals 75 cents each!

Total I paid $4.56 (plus tax) for $24.94 worth of product for a savings of 82%!!!

Been a Long Time
in a mood.  click to hear the soundtrack for this post.
So... ummm ... yeah.
Kinda got in a funk and quit posting, though I was still actively couponing.  The time that has passed has taken me back to Arizona... I know... I know.  It's kind of like jumping from the frying pan into the fire - well maybe more like jumping from the deep freezer to the fire, but I digress.  Things just were not coming together and I had to make some tough choices.
It's better for me for now.  We'll see what the future holds.

So I decided that starting on my birthday I would begin posting again and sharing the deals I'm getting.  As a result, I have a zillion photos and bunch of great deals to share today.  Let's go!
Target is running some great deals right now.  Buy 10 Barilla, Old El Paso or Ragu selected items and get a $5 gift card.  With the prices around a buck and a quarter, that makes for some terrific bargains.  There's even some coupons floating around out there.  
The Jimmy Dean Delights cost 17cents after a $2 coupon from the paper.  I bought 20 more of these coupons from mycouponhunter.com when they were available.  They aren't bad, not as good as the Meat Lovers Breakfast Bowl, but not bad.  My son likes them.  
I had all sorts of coupons for Glade.  I like the purple Lavender thingy for my bedroom.  The Neutrogena face wipes cost me $1.33 after $1 manufacturer's coupons stacked with $1 Target coupons and a $5 gift card for buying three.  These are great for washing makeup off at the end of a workday.
CVS was running a deal on these Febreze for $3 and they gave you a $1 extrabux on each one.  Add in my $1 manny Qs and I paid $1 each for them.  I really like them in the car.  They didn't have my favorite dragonfruit one though.
They also had a great deal on the mascara.  I never really wore mascara until earlier this year.  So far, this is my favorite so when I saw that CVS was giving a $7 extrabux when you spend $10 on Physician's Formula cosmetics, I jumped on it.  Basically, I paid $2.99 for this and it's regularly $9.99 or more.
This was a Walgreen's trip from a week or so ago.  They have the Cascadian Farms cereal on sale for $1.99.  On Pillsbury.com you can find a $1.00 coupon for them making them 99 cents.  The Cheerios were also $1.99 and using a coupon from coupons.com I got them for $1.24.  
I love this Nice! brand water.  Until I replace my water dispenser (and make my tesla coil to ozoneate the water) I prefer the taste of this water.  I always grab a ton of it when it's on sale and right now it's $1.99, though I paid $2.49 when I made this trip.
The psoriasis treatment (for my daughter's excema - it works) was free and so was the Iron after register rewards for the cost.  I even made money on the Iron because I had a coupon that I made the initial purchase with.  
The tuna is 79 cents with and in-ad coupon (good on 4 items) plus I had a coupon for 50 cents that I forgot to use.
Chex, Combos and Bugles were all on sale for 99 cents and I had coupons for the Chex making these 39 cents.
Ohhhh, this was one of my favorites ever!
CVS was running a "buy $15 worth of selected items and get a $5 ecb" sale.  The Skippy was one of the items and they were 2 for $5.  I bought 6 and used some old ecbs and paid $4 for them making each jar around 66 cents.
The Tresemme was 2 for $7.  I had "buy the shampoo get the conditioner free" coupons which took off $6 at the register and paid $1.66 for both, 84 cents each.  CVS is also giving $2 off 2 Tresemme at the coupon machine which I would have used had my coupon not taken off so much.
The M&Ms are 4 for $12.  You get a $4 ecb when you buy 4 plus I had coupons for $1.50 off 2.  I wound up paying $1.25 each.  
This is some freebies I signed up for online.  I got several Atkins bars, a coupon for a free Atkins frozen meal, Airborne samples and some coupons.
This is yesterday at Target.  
M&Ms 3 for $8, manny Q for $1.50 off 2, Target Q for 1.50 off 2 (still available on Target.com) and I paid $1.66 each.
More Delights at 29 cents each (price went up from last time and this was the last of my coupons), Q-tips were 74 cents after manny Q and Target Q, yogurts were 40 cents with manny Q.
Okay here's my favorites... I am having a small SuperFiasco party (Disclaimer - the term "party" being used very liberally) and was looking for some deals on food.  I found $3 manufacturer coupons for the Hormel party trays and Target has some $3 coupons as well.  The regular price is $9.54 so with $6 off I paid $3.54 for both the ones I bought.  
The Hormel lunchmeat was $2.79, I had $1 manny Qs and then Target is running a deal... Buy 2 Hormel lunchmeats and get a King Hawaiian Sandwich rolls free.  They are running the same deal with Sargento cheese.  I got the meat, the cheese and the rolls for less than $8 and had more than enough to feed everyone.
Walgreens yesterday.  More Chex Mix this time for 74 cents each, more water at $1.99, tuna that I paid 29 cents for because I remembered to use my coupon this time and the peanuts were $2.50 each for my party*.
Walmart yesterday.
I had coupons for almost all of this.  Had to buy a new coffee pot for my party*.  I had coupons for all the Kikkoman sauces, bread crumbs and the SunBird seasoning mixes and paid nearly nothing for all of it.  The burritos were free with a $1 coupon from the paper, the rice bags (on top of Coke) were a pretty good deal with coupons, not to mention a needed item for my stockpile.  The cake was for my party*.
The Yellow Rice mixes were 20 cents each with a coupon.  The grapefruit juices were 48 cents with a $2 coupon.
Lastly, I ad matched the Coke to 4 for $9 from Albertson's when you spend $25 which I had before coupons.
OMG!!! Killer deal.  I went to Albertson's today and spent $20 on all this, saving $68!  
I paid 49 cents each for the plates, 67 cents for the cups and 25 cents for the Taco seasoning.
party*!  party*!  party*!
Walgreen's today
I can never pass up this Walgreen's sale.  They always have these for $5.  Right now in the Febuary coupon book they have $1 coupons, I also have 50 cent manny Qs making each pack $3.50.  
And lastly... CVS today
The detergent was on sale for $3, I hadn't planned on it but decided to try it at this price.
The Pepsi was $1.50 with a coupon deal of the day.
The Renu was $7.99 and CVS was giving a $5 ecb with it.  I also had $2.50 Qs so paid 49 cents each for these.  With what I have in my stockpile, I now have enough saline to get through 2 years and have paid under $4 for it.

And that's it for today.  
Til next time...
