Target and Harris Teeter Shopping Trip 7/28

Today after an unsuccessful trip to the Pirate singing guy who didn't show this morning, we took a trip to Target to get some stuff on my list and a few things for Dylan.  I got three of the Comet Stainless Steel Cleaners which were $1.99 at my store so using the store coupon and the manufacturer coupon, they were free.  There were two different kinds of cleaners but the gel cleaner was way more money so I got this powder cleaner because it was free.  The cashier called over the manager to examine the coupons and she questioned the product because it was different than the picture.  I pointed at the words and repeated them while pointing at the container that both said stainless steel cleaner and she accepted them.

Little man is now the proud new owner of some Chuggington train sets that were on the toy clearance (and a Thomas board game)!!  I love the toy clearance because I can get tons of things and spend very little money- kind of my favorite thing to do.  Total spent $39.64 (but I don't count that into the grocery budget since it was all toys that I spent the money on).  Even better news is that he loves the trains because they talk to each other and he will have tons of enjoyment from them.

Then we stopped at Harris Teeter to get some of my evic specials!!  First, the turkey for my husband's sandwiches which were on sale for $2.97 less a $1 coupon (normally $4.99).  Then, we grabbed the whole grain white bread for $0.97 (normally $1.69).  Lastly, we grabbed the Domino's sugar which was supposed to be 4 lbs and it was 5 lbs!!!  I was super excited when I realized that they were going to give it to me for the sale price of $1.97 (normally $4.65).

I added this to my monthly total and I am currently at my lowest monthly total since I started tracking my spending.  I was supposed to go to CVS and do a big grocery shopping trip today but it didn't happen.  I am going to see if I can make it over tonight to CVS to see if there is anything left for this weeks sale :(  I still have $10 ECBs to spend wisely so I will figure out how to best use them to get the most stuff!!
