Target Swag

There are some pretty good coupons out right now, and some seriously killer sales. So here's another Target post for you!

I had a frugal-ing (is that a word?) fail the other day. As I posted on Facebook, Home Depot had Tide liquid detergent for almost 50% off! But by the time I got to the store at 12:30pm, they were sold out. I was pretty bummed. 

But on Friday I found out about another Tide deal going on at Target! They were advertising the 54-count Tide Pods with Fabreze in the scent Botanical Rain for $9.99 down from $17.99! On top of that, there was a $2 off one coupon for Tide Pods AND a $5 gift card offer when you purchased 2! I KNOW, RIGHT!? 

As soon as I got off work I went home to print the manufacturer coupons off and I headed to Target. But yet again, they were out of the size that was being promoted--meaning the deal was a no go. I ran into another lady looking for the same thing, and we were both super bummed. Turns out, she also had the Home Depot let down the day before. We had both checked online to see if the product was in stock prior to going to Target, which compounded our sadness. 

Thankfully, my new friend asked an employee what they could do for us in this situation. I mean, if their system had updated properly, she and I could have saved ourselves a trip to the store. And by the grace of the couponing gods, the employee said they would honor the deal for any size container as long as it was originally priced at $17.99! So we both ended up getting two containers of the 72-count for the advertised price of $9.99 each, plus the $2 off coupon and the $5 gift card! In the end, I paid $5.49 per container. Woohoo!

I also got some great deals on razors and a buy one get one free on my contact solution. When all of the savings were calculated, I ended up getting 2 large containers of Tide Pods, 4 packages of razors, and two bottle of contact solution for $43.99. I had a $25 gift card to use (Yay, Shopkick!) so I only ended up paying $18.99 on my Redcard.

Have I mentioned how much I love saving money?

Here is the moral of the story: always ask if they will honor the deal! Most stores want to ensure your happiness as a customer. You never know until you ask!
