***Note***: When shopping at Target, try and use Target printable coupons along with manufacturer coupons. You can use both printed manufacturer coupons along with Target printable coupons, or both Target coupons from the Sunday inserts along with Manufacturer coupons from the Sunday inserts. Try and match up coupons that you have with the Target coupons. Then wait for items, such as this, to go on sale for an even better deal. Also, some stores are picky,(mine's not so bad), about using more than one Target coupon per transaction. Therefore, for instance, like this cereal, had I tried using 2 Target coupons in this same transaction, it may have beeped at me, not allowing me to use those coupons. Therefore, I recommend, just to break up your transactions as I did here. It's a pain, but it sure goes much smoother most of the time for us. Here's how I did tonight.
