Also bought 4 Suave Lotion Naturals $2.50, if you have 2 computers print 4 coupons
Making these $6 if you have 4 coupons. Buy 4 and get back $3 cat, $2 cat, and a $2 cat. Making this $1 MM. I only had 2 coupons so I paid $1 for 4 large containers of lotion.

Used my (3) $3 Cats I got last week from my Jewel run. So I ended up spending $3.50 after tax and got back $7 in Cats.

Tonight I went to Meijer and did a quick deal.

Starting to hate Target!

Maybe it is just the Target I went to but they are starting to get not very coupon friendly see here , but here is what I did.

The computer first only took off .97 for the shout wipes when they should have taken off .97 times 2! I talked to the cashier and she asked a manager the manager said this should not work because there is no picture of the product. I said the coupon clearly states off ANY! And she promptly accepted but she said in the future we cannot take these coupons for travel size items. Luckily I have lots of Target stores around me. I just won't be going to that one anymore :).

Thinking I may have to go do the cheese deal some more, I have 3 more $5 off coupons, and this catalina rolls!

Is it just me, or does it seem like Walgreens always has lots of free things after RR at the beginning of every month...last month it was like that too, let's see if the trend continues!
