How To Shop Target On The Cheap.

He cracks me up. I thought his Doggy was possessed. All I heard was it repeating itself. I go to investigate, and he's helped himself to toys in the closet, even bite marks on the baby food. It's like he had it planned. and wanted the dogs to play together. Or, he's just greedy, and wanted one of each color!

I got those Fisher price dogs for $3.00 each last time Target had a huge toy sale right before Easter. They had released 50% off coupons, then I had a $5.00 off Manufacturer coupon that you can stack with a Target store coupons.

You should always check the coupons on Target.com, and check your stock of Manufacturer coupons.

Here is what a printed Target coupon resembles, and the reason why you can use it with a manufacturer.

You can also use a Target Cartwheel Coupon, and a Target Mobile Coupon with the Manuf, and Target Store Coupon.  Target has amazing deals when things are on sale, and you have all these ways to save.

Targets coupon policy is, You can use 1 of each on ONE item per shopping trip. But, if its a totally different item, you can do the same again, and stack a target, and manufacturer together. You can also print 2 per computer. So keep that in mind.

A manufacturer coupon will always say Manufacturer on it, along with expiration dates, and rules to use the coupon.

If the stores policy says you can stack a store, and manfaracturer coupon together, then its compeltely legit, but normally, most stores policy is Same # of items for # of coupons.

Free. Tax was paid by using my own bag, and swiping my RedCard.

My two trips with hubby last month.

This one I paid just .27 cents.

Another great perk for shopping at target is if you bring your own shopping bag, they will take .05 cent off your order. Also, if you sign up for the RedCard Debit (Its just a debit card linked to your actual bank account, and not the credit card, You could apply for the credit card too, but you really don't have to). The Redcard will give you 5% off your order, as long as you use the card as a form of payment.

Always check for CLEARANCE Items, Always! Sometimes you can get things for free, or even less than .10 cents with coupons.

.10 cents for the Method Cleaning Supplies.

I already have my stock pile for the year for things like air freshener, dish soap, health & beauty items. It is very possible to do without going all "extreme." I don't watch that show, and I am saddened that people are doing it for all the wrong reasons.

smiley360 Arm & Hammer Laundry

I received this full size bag of Arm & Hammer Crystal Burst Power Paks to review through Smiley360 for free. I really do not like doing laundry. To think about it, no one likes to do laundry. Let alone to take the time to measure things out. Sometimes even family members, or friends use too much or too little, and you have to wash a load all over again.

The packaging was easy to open, I just tore off the top slip, there's a ziplock at the top to keep the detergent fresh. Which I liked.

The smell itself isn't strong, just a fresh clean scent of baking soda.

I threw a Power Pak into the wash, it dissolved quickly as the water filled up, Added my clothes. And I could smell the clean laundry from the load in the hallway from just that one little pak.

I'm not one on overly flower, girly smells in my laundry soap, my perfume, and body sprays is a whole other story, I don't want the laundry soap smell to interfere with my perfume, so this is right up my alley, and I liked that it dissolved fast. And smelled as good as it did. Maybe they can come up with different smells, and have them in a sample size bag too, but other than that I really enjoyed using the Paks.

Usuage: Extremely easy.

Scent: Fresh OxiClean.

Would I buy?: Yes, I would.

Few Social Word Of Mouth Sites

These are the Social word of mouth sites I am part of, and enjoy reviewing free products either by coupons, rebates, or actual samples, and sometimes even full size through the mail for my opinion.

There are many different sites, and each site has its own rules, and what is expected of you to do for accepting a mission/campaign/whatever it may be called.

I upload videos of myself showing & talking about products on some sites like,

Expotv.com
BzzAgent.com
Smiley360.com
Crowdtap.com

These are just a few of my top favorites to participate in.

Sometimes just a picture is needed, and for you to write a review/report. Other times actual videos, and surveys too. I enjoy doing things like this. It's great to be taken outside of our comfort zones, and pushed into trying things we normally may never have tried.

BzzAgent GreenVics Filippo Berio® experience

Through BzzAgent.com, I was giving the opportunity to try Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I cook with Olive Oil, and Safflower Oil as is, but I had never tried Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Before receiving a bottle free in the mail. I was also giving $1.00 off coupons to pass out to family, and friends of my Moms Group.

Mambo Combo Play Tent; Something Cute for Ya'll

I bought Mambo Combo play tent for the baby to crawl in from Meijers, and he loves them.

I didn't realize how big the tent, and tunnels were until I put them together, they were simple to put together, just a few plastic pieces that snapped together w/strings int he middle.

The tunnels themselves can be put into little bags to store, then unvelcro and they spring back into full tunnel size.

Overall experience for the Mambo Combo playset: Complete fun for the whole family. He loves the tunnel, and we love getting on the floor to play with him.

Storage: When not in use the combo set comes with its own bags to put away, takes up no room once put back in the bags, and don't have to worry about lack of space anywhere.

Price: I paid for this out of pocket myself, it was on clearance for $19.99

Product Reviews

I'm starting to incorporate more Product Reviews & Giveaways for my Mom Group friends here in Ohio. Of course everyone is welcomed to discuss on every topic anyways, no matter what. This is going to be exciting, and fun. Video blogs, pictures, and reviews will be posted, as well. I can't wait! It's exciting when companies want everyday people, with children to try/review things. Sometimes even do giveaways too.
