New Target Catalina and Deal Idea



Our local Target just got a small grocery section, which is very exciting for me, because I used to do 90% of our grocery shopping at the SuperTarget we lived near in Texas. For their grand opening, they sent me a coupon good for a free dozen Market Pantry eggs, regularly priced 1.39. I stacked that with a .55/2 dozen eggs form Incredible Edible Egg NLA.

So, for 2 dozen eggs my total OOP was 84c. This worked because Target allows the use of 1 store coupon and 1 manufacturer's coupon per item.

This would have been great, but out popped a Catalina for $3/$25 grocery purchase. And I got another Target mailer with some great coupons for produce and a coupon for free Kraft Macaroni. The Catalina coupon was pretty vague, so I made sure to hand it to the cashier first. I didn't want to risk them interpreting it as "$25 after coupons!"

Here's how I worked the deal:

1 bag Fresh Express Spinach, sale priced $1.00
Used $1.00 any bagged salad Target Mailer
Final Price: Free

Kraft Shapes macaroni $1.19
Used Free any Kraft Shapes Target Mailer
Final Price: Free

2 Campbell's Slow Kettle Soups @ 2.99 ea
Used (2) 1.25/1 Manufacturer's coupon
Final Price: 3.48 for 2 (not the cheapest way to buy soup, but a very cheap 2 working lunches for the husband)

2 Celestial Seasonings tea @ 2.39 ea
Used $1/2 Manufacturer's coupon found in specially marked boxes of celestial Seasonings
Final Price: 3.78 for 2

3 lb. bagged apples 2.79
Used 1 off any bagged apples Target Mailer
Final Price: 1.79 or .59/lb!

4 Archer Farms frozen vegetables @ .89 ea
Used 1 off any 4 Archer Farms Frozen Veggies Target printable coupon
Final Price: 2.56 for 4

1 Gold Peak Tea single 1.49
Used 1 off 1 Gold Peak
Final Price: .49

1 6pk Honey Brown Beer 5.99

Final OOP: 15.39 (we paid tax on the beer)
