!! BARGAIN !!

I feel great about my bargain. No wonder everyone tells about their bargains on their blogs. Now I want to do the same. Only one problem, the deal is over. It ended tonight and I would have shared sooner except I didn't get my bargain until 30 minutes before the store was closing for the evening and I wasn't sure how well it would work.


My thankfulness goes out to my dear friend Suzanne and http://www.moneysavingmom.com/.

I went to Target with 8 printed coupons in my pocket for $3 off of any 2 Huggies products. I had my Dad with me in case I needed him to do some purchasing as well, because I wasn't sure how they would handle that many coupons. I ended up not needing my Dad and was able to use 7 at one time and then found the 8th coupon that I didn't realize I had and went back and purchased 2 more. I couldn't believe they let me use them all at once and... in the same transaction.

What I got:

16 tubs of 72 ct. Huggies Wipes. They are originally $2.39 a piece at Target. Paying the original amount would have been $38.24. Then I saved $24 with my 8 - $3 coupons and only paid $14.24. Wow!

Now if you know me at all I did my math before I purchased. I wasn't concerned about what I paid out of pocket, but I wanted the most for money. So, I did the per wipe division with the large packets of 208 ct and then travel size of 34 ct and came up with the difference that the tubs were the actual better deal per wipe - costing $0.012361 per wipe :)

(p.s. I think I have enough wipes for a while :)
