I was at Target tonight and they had a lot of toys on clearance. Almost all of them were marked 75% off. I got some Thomas things for Noah for Christmas and a couple of other presents.
For $16.98 after tax I got;
2 CARS giant floor coloring pads
2 Neville Thomas the Tank Engine dye cast train
1 Cranky the Crank + track and train get
2 Schleich lambs
1 Schleich Moose
Not as good as usual, but being there were no coupons not bad. Regular price would have been $67.92

Last day of the Month--what did I get?
I had some coupons that were expiring today so Noah and I went out to see what we could find. I headed to CVS with a page full of clearance and hidden deals plus the regular sale items for the week. Well, we ended up leaving with 2 rainchecks and nothing else. :(
I did run into Becky Weber and her neighbor, Stephanie as I was leaving. I was saying that I was heading to Target to use up my $5/3 Target coupon that expired today so Stephanie gave me two more. All total I now had three $5/3 and one $5/5 to work with.
This is what I ended up getting. I think I did pretty good for not having a plan when I talked through the door.
5 Johnson's Buddies $.94 -2 $2/2
1 9oz Johnson's baby soap $2.09
2 20oz Johnson's baby soap $2.79
1 14ct Johnson's pre-soaped washcloths $2.99
1 Neosporin $3.89 -$1/1
1 20ct Diego Bandaids $1.97 -$1/1 (Noah almost had a fit 4 times once we got home because he wanted one so bad.)
5 Stayfree $1.02 ( Just realized I only needed 14 products so I only needed to get 3 of these)
I think that my OOP after all the Target coupons was $.32. My reciept only shows tax for the amount of other products I purchased. I found some toys maked 75% off so I got a couple of Christmas presents. These aren't included in the grocery budget so they won't be added to the total.
I also went to Cub last night. Here is what I got on my last trip of the month.
20 Farmland sausage $1.50 -20 $1/1
5 HomeLife paper towels $.99, -5 $1/1
5 Bushel Boy life lettuce $1.79, -5 $2/1
1 YoBaby 6pk $3.64, -Free coupon
2 Marie Calendar 16oz pot pies $2.75
10 Chef Boyardee ravioli $1, -2 $.35/3
5 McCormick Mexican seasoning packets $.80 -2 $.25/2, -5/$3 Cub coupon
3 Peter Pan $1.66, -$1/1
-$2 OYNO coupon
Total OOP $26.50, received $10 OYNO coupon
Total Spent $26.82
Total spending for the month $85.81
Total left for the month $2.84 + $10 OYNO
So...all in all I am under budget again this month. I did have quite a lot of extra money to spend this month that's to the Planters Nuts overage. It made it easier to stock up on things like the sausage and ravioli.

All You Magazine
I don't think I have talked about it before but there is a magazine only sold at Walmart called "All You." It has a ton of coupons in it and is fairly cheap, $1.77. I usually only flip through it if I happen to be at Walmart, but today I bought three mags. They are the Aug 29, light purple issue.
Towards the back of the mag is a page with 5 "free when you buy" Kraft coupons. They are;
Free Wheat Thins up to $4.50
Free 16oz Kraft Dressing up to $3.20
Free Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs $4.51
Free Crystal light up to $4.50
Free Kraft Singles 12oz up to $4.00
There are the same as the tearpad coupons where you need to buy 3 products from the participating brands(excludes single serve). The brands are Kraft, Nabisco, and Oscar Mayer. Koolaid is made by Kraft. The best way to use these coupons is to buy 3 koolaid packets, being they are not single serve.
There is also a $1/1 Peter Pan coupon that can be used together with the buy $20 get $10 OYNO at Cub this week. By putting the two offers together you can get free peanut butter, plus a small overage for each coupon used.
Another coupon to use this week is the $1/2 Kid Cuisine. They are also part of the but $20 get $10 OYNO. After the coupon and the $10 print out the average out to $.61 each. This coupon and the Peter Pan are on a postcard sided insert in the middle of the magazine.
There are many other coupons you might be interested in. I just wanted to highlight the Free WYB and the ones to use at Cub this week.
