    Thank you for this!! This week we’re putting together care packages for soldiers in honor of Memorial Day, and sadly, one of the most requested items among our female soldiers overseas is tampons. Time to go shopping!! 🙂

    Great shopping trip! 🙂

    Does Target give cash back for the difference if there is an over payment after coupons and payment with the gift card?

    • Tisha :) says

      Yes, I do it about every two weeks when I do our shopping. I just put the shopping separator bar on the conveyor counter between my two separate purchases and let them know when my first batch reaches them that the two batches are mine that I am paying separately for.

      I also bring in my own re-usable bags for 5 cents off each bag I use; not a lot of savings but it adds up. Our re-usable bags are various sizes but mostly on the small size so that they aren’t overloaded to be heavy to carry but more manageable. 🙂

    • Gretchen says

      Yes, they are usually fine with me doing that. I just tell them how many transactions I’m doing and I’ve never had any issue.

    Awesome score. Both the Targets I go to have been out of the 3.99 playtex products since the first deal came out on them.:( Nice deal on the palmolive though. That is definitely my favorite hand dish soap.
