Just want to give you all a heads up.  The word is that toys are on a 75% clearance at Target right now.

While you are there, you may also be able to snag some cheap movies with this  $2/1 DVD or $3/1 Blu-Ray coupon for any specially marked Movie Staycation movie.  I’ve read that many of these DVDs are only $5 each, making them $3 after coupon!

PLUS, if you purchase 6 DVDs or Blu-Rays, you can register them and receive a movie gift set for FREE!  Go here for more details.

I am almost considering making a run in spite of my strict ‘no shopping with children’ policy.  Hmmmm….

Let me know how your shopping trip goes!

degree-body-mistLast week, I was able to purchase Degree Body Mist at Target for only $.04.  I was pretty excited about that, until I discovered this deal at Saving with Shellie where you can actually make $1.96 by buying Degree deodorant and body mist!  Check it out:

Degree for Women Fine Fragrances Deodorant, $3.29
-Use $1.25/1 Degree coupon (RP 5/17) AND
-Use Buy Deodorant Get Body Mist Free coupon (RP 6/28) AND
-Use (2) $2/1 Target printable coupons HERE
Final Price = FREE Deodorant and Body Mist (+ $1.96 possible overage)

WOW!

Keep in mind that some Targets may not allow overage.  If not, you can ask if they will lower the value of the coupon, which is endorsed by Target’s corporate coupon policy.  You may want to print out a copy of Target’s coupon policy to take with you just in case.  You can find one here.
