If you need lots of diapers, now is the time to get them at Target.  They have a gift card promotion going on through 12/3rd.  When you buy three big packs of Huggies or Pampers, including Easy Ups (they are marked with special tags in the aisle at the store) you get a $10 gift card automatically at checkout.  Each big pack is $18 to $20.  In addition, if you spend $50 at Target through 12/3rd you can get a $10 gift card with this printable coupon.  

I combined both gift card offers today and bought 3 big packs of diapers at $18.99 each.  I also bought wipes and wipes refils for $8.78 total.  I usually make homemade baby wipes but I had really good coupons and I thought they would be nice for holiday traveling.  This adds up to $65.75.  

I used a Target coupon and a manufacturers coupon for each pack of diapers and wipes so I used 2 coupons for each item.  This is called stacking coupons.  I received a Target baby mailer the other day full of Target baby coupons so this was easy.  I saved $11.00 off the diapers and wipes with my coupons.  I spent $54.75 total after coupons and received $20 back in gift cards making the total only $34.75 for 3 big packs of diapers (big boxes) and around 300 wipes.  

You have to save your gift cards for your next transaction, but you can take your purchases to the car and come back in and shop for the rest of the items on your list with your gift cards.  That's what I did.  

Thanks Todd and Erin "That Went Well..." for the coupon link.

If you are expecting you should make a baby registry at Target - even if this is not your first pregnancy.  I recieved this Target Registry guide in the mail with the green coupon attached to it a few months ago (before the baby was born).  The green coupon can be redeemed for a $20 gift card if you make a registry.  Even if you are not anticipating a baby shower, make a simple registry online, print it and take it to the store with the coupon.  You will get a $20 gift card and a nice bag full of coupons and goodies.  You never know - someone might throw you a baby shower.  My babysitting co-op threw me and 4 other expecting Moms a group shower.  It was a lot of fun.

Print a $1.50/1 Aquafresh Training Toothpaste coupon. This coupon is good for toothpaste or a toothbrush.  This brand is available at Target or Walmart and will be pretty cheap with this coupon.  I hit the backspace button after printing and was able to print two unique coupons.

Thanks Money Saving Mom  

I found a huge collection of Gerber 2-pack pajama sets at Target yesterday marked down from $10.99 to $2.76 each.  I bought the boys all matching pj's and a couple extras for gifts.  There are lots of kid's clothes on clearance now so it's a good time to buy ahead.  These are in season, but I often buy out of season to save money.  This fall, I will buy t-shirts and shorts for my oldest for next summer in the next size up.  The younger boys will wear mostly hand- me-downs.  

I also saved a lot of money with coupons yesterday.  I always print the Target online coupons before heading to Target.  I stack Target coupons with manufacturers coupons and save even more by using 2 coupons for one item.  I saved $7.25 using Target coupons and $11.88 using manufacturer's coupons (many of these stacked to use on the same item) bringing my total coupon savings to $19.13.  I only bought items that we needed and use on a regular basis.  You have to be mindful when you start couponing to only buy things you need.  Don't buy it just because you have a coupon (unless it's free of course).  

Halloween Costumes are 75% off at Target.  I bought 2 Stars Wars costumes today for $5 each.  My boys can grow into them and use them for a future Halloween or play dress up.  There were still 2 rows of costumes and Halloween decor at my Target today.  There was still a huge section of Halloween candy at 50% off too.  I resisted and didn't buy anymore since we have two plastic pumpkins full of candy.
