With things slowing down now that Christmas is nearly here, I decided to help fill the day with some posts to reminisce on coupon deals past. Isn’t that what the holidays are about…memories? Also, make sure you claim your FREE 3-pack of Olay Samples if you haven’t done so yet either. Finally, don’t forget about the FREE 8×10 Photo Enlargement ($3.99 value) at Walgreens.com through 12/25! Merry Christmas!
Remember our friend Monica? For about five years, she split the duties with me over at Couponaholic, but eventually she ditched the deal-hunting and went back to the regular workforce. She used to have some amazing trips. Below is one example. Back in July 2015, she headed to Target and loaded up on items and made OVER $12 PROFIT too. So…if you were wondering what couponing looked like in the good old days, this was it…all the time! The complete original write up is below, but keep in mind that the coupons listed below are (obviously) no longer available and Target policies have changed a lot since this great trip. Enjoy!
I had a great trip to Target today! I wasn’t expecting to find all of the goodies that I found in stock but I did.

I had a great trip to Target this evening! FYI – I already have my Checkout51 results back and I did receive the cashback for all the offers I submitted, including that nice Gold Bond moneymaker with a limit of two. FYI – I don’t remember the regular price on the 1893 drinks, but I know they are on sale. I decided to conservatively estimate their regular price at $1.49. Here’s what I bought, along with the coupons used:
I had a great trip to Target this evening! When I saw all the great deals posted on the site today, I knew I had to go see if I could find some deals. Even though the Coffee-Mate deal isn’t that great, I needed it and didn’t want to make another stop on the way home.
I had a GREAT trip to Target this morning. I was a little late getting out the door, but it was a stroke of luck! My mail arrived and I had a $25 Target Gift Card reward from Verizon’s loyalty program, so I didn’t even have to spend any money out of pocket today. Even better, while I was slacking off getting ready, we learned about the Proganix moneymaker deal.
I had a great trip to Target today! I love it when they have all the items on my list! I hope these Annie’s Soups are good, because I’m going to try them very soon! FYI – The Special K Chocolate Almond Chewy Nut Bars are outstanding! (I already tried those. In fact, they were so good I had two of them!)
I had a GREAT Target shopping trip today. My store was out of the Revlon Tweezers for the moneymaker with last week’s newspaper coupon and I only found one Zantac Duo Fusion, but I can’t complain. Here’s what I bought, along with the coupons used:
I had a great trip to Target today! I managed to catch some Swiffer Dusters on an end cap and they had restocked the Wet Jet Liquid Refills. I also found a lonely Swiffer Dry Refill too. The Pedigree deal worked as planned, plus I decided to spring for some decent deals on Ro*Tel Tomatoes, Manwich and SpaghettiOs.
I had another fantastic Target trip on Monday morning. I picked up more Swiffer products and those yummy looking Pillsbury Pumpkin Cookie Dough with Cream Cheese Chips! Here’s what I bought, along with the coupons used:
I ran out to Target IMMEDIATELY after I posted the Swiffer deals. Amazingly, my store was stocked in a HUGE way. I didn’t even dent their supply of Duster Kits and Wet Jet Refills. I’m going to break these items down into groups of three so you can get an idea of what the deals look like that way.
