My first coupon deal

This week, Target has a sale on their Gillette Razors. Buy 2 at $9.44 each, get a $10 gift card. Sunday's ads had some coupons! There was a $2 off a Venus razor, and a $4 off a Fusion razor. Also on May 18th, there were more coupons for $2 off a venus (I got my mom's coupons so I had two).

Here's how it worked out:

Transaction one:
1 venus razor: $9.44
1 $2/off coupon -$2.00
1 fusion razor: $9.44
1 $4/off coupon -$4.00
total out of pocket$12.88+tax+ $10 gift card. Like spending $2.88+tax!

Transaction two:
2 Venus razors: $18.88
2 $2/off coupons -$4.00
Total OOP: $14.88+tax+$10 gift card

Since this was my first coupon deal, I didn't know how I'd receive the gift cards. I thought I might have to go to customer service to get it. if I had known I got it right there, i would have put the first $10 card into the second transaction. Instead, I spent $28.92 (that's with tax) and now have $20 in gift cards to use!

Good thing my munchkin can always use more diapers!
