The children and I went to Target after they finished all their homeschool projects and chores yesterday. Target is one of their very favorite places to go and they are always looking for paid chores to do throughout the week so that they can have money to spend when we go to Target.

Here’s what I bought:

1 Neutrogena Lip Balm — $2.49, used $2/1 Neutrogena cosmetics coupon = $0.49 after coupon

2 Reach Floss — $0.97 each, used 2 $1/1 Reach coupons = free after coupons

2 packages of GE lightbulbs — $2.79 each, used 2 $2/1 coupons = $0.79 each after coupons (our store didn’t carry the lightbulbs that would have been free after coupons)

2 packages of Barilla pasta — on sale for $1.16 each, used 2 $1/1 Barilla coupons = $0.16 each after coupons

4 bananas (for Freezer-Friendly Banana Bread) — $0.91

Total with tax: $3.48

Our whole family headed out to Dillon’s last night after dinner. I was planning to go by myself, but all of the children wanted to tag along, so Jesse graciously came, too, so that we could get through the store more quickly (something about three children and grocery shopping doesn’t usually equate a quick shopping trip!).

Here’s what we bought:

2 Silk single-serve milks — $1.25 each, used 2 $1.50/1 Silk coupons = free plus overage after coupons

1 gallon milk — $2.98
