Target has a great Kashi deal this week. If you have signed up for Vocalpoint and happen to have gotten the Kashi Honey Sunshine cereal coupons, your deal will look like this:

Promotion: Buy 5 get $5 gift card back

Kashi Items: Buy 5, Get $5 Gift Card Back- Includes the following at $2.88 each:
.
Heart to Heart Cereal, Go Lean Crunch cereal, Honey Sunshine Cereal
Frozen Entrees
TLC Bars- granola and cereal
TLC Cookies (cookies were priced at $2.54 at my store)
.
Use $1.50/2 any cereal HERE
Use $1.50/1 Kashi Honey Sunshine HERE

If you are a Vocalpoint member and have those Kashi Honey Sunshine coupons from a little while back, now is the time to use them. There was even a coupon for a FREE box, which will make your deal even sweeter!
There also may be peelies on the front of Go Lean cereal boxes for $1 off crackers, cereal or cookies which you could use instead of getting all cereal. Since I have cereal coming out of every crevice in my kitchen, I think I'll use some of those alternative product coupons.

While you're there, pick up some Softsoap Nutriserum body wash:
Softsoap Nutri Serum Body Wash $2.99
Use $1/1 HERE
Use $1/1 Target coupon from 9/13 SS (Smartsource insert)
Final Price: $.99

Also, there is a 3.50 Target q when you purchase an Ensembles handsoap AND a refill (9/13 SS). Pair it with a 3.00 man q. from 8/30 SS and you can score a free handsoap AND a refill, or possibly turn it into a moneymaker, depending on the prices in your Target store.

I will be going to Target this afternoon (after my lemon cheesecake with gingersnap crust comes out of the oven) and will post how my deals went as well as pictures on how I did :)

Target Aquafresh Iso Active toothpaste

If you are a Northern Californian like me, our CVS' didn't include the awesome Aquafresh or Sensodyne Iso Active toothpaste deal like the rest of the country's CVS' did. Well, we can cash in our coupons and get Aquafresh's IsoActive Toothpaste for 1.49 using the 1.00 IP coupon here and the Target printable 1.00/Aquafresh coupon here. This week it's on sale for 3.49, so using the store and man. q's for 1.00 each makes the toothpaste just 1.49 which isn't free, but it's still a pretty good deal, especially if you're picky about toothpaste!

Deal of the Day: Cheap Rimmel Mascara

If you've been collecting your Sunday coupon inserts over the past few months, go get your 8/23 Red Plum insert and cut out the coupon for $2/1 Rimmel beauty product. At Target the mascara is about 2.29-2.79 for their mascara. Using the $2/1 coupon, you can get some mascara for .29-.59!! And, while you're at Target, you might want to do the Fiber One deal of the week: Buy 5 Fiber One products (certain ones are part of the deal) and get a 5.00 gift card. There are several places you can get Fiber One coupons from. I have a few from a home mailer coupon book I got. Go to Hotcouponworld.com's database and type in Fiber One to find out different sources of their coupons and make your deal even sweeter!

Free Bare Naked granola

Get a free sample of Bare Naked cereal or granola here. I love their granola because it's all natural with no preservatives or artificial flavors. My little one loves to munch on it as a snack, too!

Free Secret Deodorant from Vocalpoint

Vocalpoint is giving away free Secret Clinical Strength deodorant to their members. If it's a full size product, it's a great score as this is usually 5.00+ at the store. If it's a trial size, I like to put them in my travel dopp kit. If you are a member, click here to request your free sample. All you have to agree to do is review the product! You've heard me talk about Vocalpoint many times. If you haven't signed up for it yet, now's a great time :)
Thanks Charlene!

My favorite blogs

I LOVE Saving!
I love blogging on here about my savings and now that I've started keeping a total of my monthly expenses I plan on posting how much I've saved at the end of each month. I wish I could say that I find all these great deals on my own, but I don't. I browse my favorite blogs to find great deals, sales, freebies, and bargains. That's the beauty of the couponing world, you find some deals, you share some deals, and EVERYONE saves money! A lot of these women blog from home as their full-time job and can invest a lot more time in posting about their savings than I can. So if you want to find out more about couponing, living frugally, shopping smart, or just want to see what the fuss is all about with couponing, you can check out my favorite blogs on the right hand side and clicking on the button.
Happy Saving!!!!
