Target -- Venus bonus pkg for $5.64!

I totally didn't plan on hitting Target last night. I was ready to spend the night in and perhaps count my stockpile (picture a dragon counting her gold!). However, my husband's hair clippers DIED! He needed a haircut BADLY, so, off I run to the store to try and buy a replacement. I just knew I was going to pay *shudder* retail.

I don't know how some of the other couponers do it. You never seem to hear about the OMGihavetobuythattodaycauseineedit store runs. It just has to happen sometimes... maybe that's just not a cool thing to post. Well, I'm here to share that life happens even to couponers! Although I was on a mission, I did scope out stuff and find a couple of deals!

You don't have to worry that I'm gonna start posting EVERY shopping trip I make. That would be like going up to a complete stranger in the store and telling him/her the color of your underwear. Yikes! That would be just WAY too weird.

Total OOP $50.48 ($54.38)
*choke* *gasp*

only saving grace is I had a $5 rebate mastercard from the swiffer promo earlier this year - used it!


I did buy two different hair trimmers -- forgot my cell at home (pffft!) so I couldn't ask my hubby's opinion. At least I've created another opportunity to visit Target when I return one of the trimmers. *sigh* Total OOP will drop by ~$10.

So, what is such a BIG deal?! Holy cow! Check this out:

Venus Embrace package $7.64
Satin Care shave gel + Embrace razor w/ refill cartridge + Olay body wash
$2/1 MQ PG 6/7
Final Price $5.64

(whoot! there were 34 sets/pkgs when I left the store last night on an end cap)


Satin Care shave gel 7 oz $1.79
B1G1 free MQ
Final price $0.90

(if you stocked up on the Wags sale for shaving gel earlier this year...kudos to you! I totally got aced on that deal and was never able to find any)


The rest of the stuff is me looking for a different facial astringent. I love Biore but there aren't any coupons for it. I contacted the company & they won't be doing any coupons because the redemption of them doesn't make it worth their while. So, I'm gonna try a different product which I hope will have coupons.

Of course, I had to get the doggie treats! Jeez! Wasn't that a "must have" thing too? My doggies sure think so! LOL!

So, I'm putting my stuff in the car, and I'm thinking my new facial astringent sure smells strong. I didn't remember it being that stinky in the store. So, I peer in the bag by the meager parking lot lights -- reach in slowly for the bottle -- and SURE enough -- one of the bottles had spilled all over the stuff I just bought! Urrrgh! I grabbed some paper towels I keep in the car and shoved some in the bag. So, that bottle's price per ounce is just a tinsy bit off now!

The receipt got a few battle scars along the way.
