I haven't written in a while but, I did make a short Target trip and managed to score some awesome deals! They had some great clearance on detergent and toothpaste making the tide and gain (great boxes!) detergent 2.54 and toothpaste (crest w/samples of white strips!!) 1.54) I got two of each and also received a 5.00 gift card for purchasing 5 glade candles on sale for 2.50. I couldn't help paying almost full price for those but, they last the whole holiday season and make the house smell great!...

Total 67.57 - w/coupons and sales 46.84!
