Big Savings at Target!

I had a big trip at Target today.  There is a coupon out that gives you a $10 Target gift card when you spend $50 on grocery items.  I decided to go for this deal with a combination of coupon and non-coupon items, as well as two other gift card promotions.  After a long trip, I ended up with nearly $68 worth of stuff and spent only around $25. While this is only 63% savings, I used my gift cards towards a fancy new grown up vacuum, my first store bought ever! Very excited about that purchase!!

Since this trip was somewhat complicated, I will do a smaller breakdown below the photos.
