Example of how awesome coupon stacking is...

The Hunk got a wonderful little booklet of Target coupons. After clipping coupons out of three newspaper inserts last week, I have SO many coupons just waiting to be joined with a store coupon. Thankfully, I matched coupons today and many of the store coupons (SQ) The Hunk got matched wonderfully with the manufacturer coupons (MQ).

So off to Target I went today to stock up on household supplies. I saved ALMOST $30!!!

Ok, here's what went down. I learned a couple things from my first major couponing trip.

Diapers:

19.99

-2.00 catalina (this are the ones that print from the register)

-1.00 MQ

=17.99 (box of 86)

Glade cashmere woods air freshener (smells SO good)

$2.79

-1.00 SQ (is that the right abbreviation for store coupon?)

-1.00 MQ

=.78

Tide Stain Release

$5.99

-1.00 SQ

-.75 MQ
