  1. My favorite bargains at Target are the $1.00 bins. They have some fun stuff. I have found wonderful scrapbook items for only a dollar many times.

  2. My favorite bargain is the Target brand formula. It runs around $11 for a large container, Spending $11 on anything may not see like a bargain. But I was spending over twice as much on the brand name stuff. So I feel l like I get two for the price of one. And lately $1 coupons have been printing at the bottom of my receipts. Very cool!

  3. My favorite bargain so far has been free batteries and .29 granola bars! 🙂

  4. I discovered your site a few weeks ago and check in daily. I pay special attention to your $40 weekly food plan and your CVS deals. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  5. My favorite Target bargain was the Ocean Spray juice, but I’m hoping to get some diapers soon :-)!

  6. I honestly love the cheap dog toys. $1 for a dog rope is just ridiculously cheap and they’re SO MUCH better than the $7 ones you’d get at chain pet stores.

    I also posted about this in my blog, cause I just found you recently and think this is awesome.

  7. I am a follower.

  8. My favorite Target bargain was halloween 75% off the dollar spot. I got the cutest little buckets that I use to store crafts.

  9. I was the original poster of this one on slickdeals, rmcd496. Check out my follow-up post #15

    With two of each Q you can buy 2 Kraft Mac & Cheese and 2 Velveeta Shells & Cheese at Target for $1.

    Kraft on sale $1 – $1 Q WYB Velveeta = 0

    Velveeta on sale for $1.50 – $1 Q = $0.50

    Therefore, when I bought 2 sets it ws only $1!

    Sale price at Target ends Saturday 2/21.

    This was HUGE for me as it was my 1st online Q find and posting on slickdeals and then I was able to match it with a T deal, bummer not more people picked it up when I posted it in the T thread. Oh, well! I scored 10 Kraft & 17 Velveeta deals in the last week, call me Compulsive!!!

  10. I LOVE Target period. This year my New Years Goal was to become a better shopper for my family. Before I couldn’t get OUT of that store without spending over $100. But now that I’m paying attention to coupons and sales I haven’t had a bill of over $100 yet!!! One of my most recent trips I had an almost $20 savings!!! Now I REALLY LOVE TARGET!!!

    I shop at a Super Target and if you are there at the right time you can find GREAT deals on meat!!! I bought organic boneless skinless Chicken Breasts for WAY cheaper than usual and just this week while browsing the meat section there were few things that had COUPONS attached to them….I got two packages of fancy, stuffed, yummy chicken breasts and EACH package had a $3 off coupon!!! YUM YUM! 🙂

  34. one frugal lady says:

    Just one favorite?!? Geez… well, I will have to think what was most recent then…. I got the ocean spray juice for free recently. I love strolling along the back end-caps at Target, I find all sorts of stuff, and combined with coupons, they are usually free. Ah, how I love Target! thanks!

  35. My favorite deal recently was the clearance toy sale after Christmas. I wouldn’t have gone to the toy dept. if I hadn’t seen your post on your blog about the sale. I was able to get my two daughters each a few birthday presents.
    And I always love the dollar spot. Always something cool there.

  36. Kathy Rambousek says:

    I always like to check some of those end of the aisle clearance shelves. There’s always something interesting in them.

    I love it when the target coupons match up wth my coupons so I can get some great stuff for free or almst free.

  42. Katie Williams says:

    My favorite Target bargain is looking through all the clearance stuff. Target has such cute decorations for around the house but sometimes they’re so expensive. But they clearance them out all the time and I love looking at the ends of the isles to see what I can find!

  43. Thanks for the opportunity! I just went to Target the other day and they had their Valentines merch on sale for 75% off, I got a long sleeve tee with a cute flower and butterfly design for me for $2!

  44. chulaleila says:

    I did a big Target trip for the first time since starting couponing. I got a bunch of Carnation Instant Breakfast, Ziploc bags, Lean Cuisines, a first aid kit and a bunch of other stuff. I saved over $20 with Qs. The cashier said, “Now that’s clippin’ coupons.” I was happy and DH was impressed!

  45. My fav Target so far have been the wipes (in 07) and the batteries! I am still using the wipes and I have more batteries than I will ever need!

  46. I am a follower, and also put a post about you on my blog.

  47. My favorite Target bargain was last year after summer I got a $99 grill for $25. Love that store!

  48. Christmas clearance is always fun–have gotten cheap wrapping paper, CDS, lights, candy, bows, etc. in the past.

  49. livingmyhappilyeverafter says:

    I like the recent 50 cent Broccli!

  50. I periodically check in on your blog, and I also on NBBC Coupon Board. I love Target and have been shopping there since I was 9 years old with my mom. My favorite is Target clearance. I also love that you can combine Target coupons with manufacturer’s coupons. It helps save so much money. I am planning to stock up on the Kellogg’s items this week, including the poptarts. WOOHOO!

  51. I blogged about the contest…that means I’ll definitely win, right?! 🙂

  53. Am a subscriber now too!

  54. I don’t have a favorite Target deal because Calhoun, Georgia does not have a Target. I have to live vicariously through my daughter’s great deals and others I read about. I love Melissa’s blogs about CVS and the other links that she gives. The feedback she gives concerning her blog when there is a question is great also.

    Way to go Melissa!

    Thank you for the giveaway!

    tanyab@paulbunyan.net

  62. Ben and Bethany says:

    My favorite bargain at target this year is the current Kashi deal. You use the $1 off target coupon on their site plus the $2 coupons that are either on their site or in my case came with a free sample (and was a book of 8 $2 off coupons) and it makes them .29c a box!

  63. My favorite Target deals are always the 75% off section…I stalk it so that when the items I want move over there, I snap them up! Thanks for the giveaway!

  64. vwestermeyer says:

    I love the dollar spot. Even better when it’s marked down. I had a girls evening for my family and made little bags filled with dollar spot things that I got at 75% off!

    Hi! I loved getting that Ocean Spray juice for just pennies! That was a lot of fun and a nice treat!
