Tuesday Tune-Up 12/29

Went to Target on a couponing adventure. Scored a couple of good bargains. Still a greenhorn at this smart shopping business, to be sure.

3 Tide travel size - $.97 each

Used 3 $1/1 Tide coupons from 12/26 PG

Paid: $0*

2 bags of Christmas-y M&M's - $2.99 each

On clearance for 50% off - or around $1.50 each

Used $1/2 coupon from ???

Paid: $2 for 2

*Only 2 of my Tide coupons scanned and I didn't notice until after the transaction was complete and I did a check of my receipt as my "mentors" have instructed. I was too embarrassed to go back to the cashier or to Customer Service to do something about it, though. So I really ended up paying $1.00 for one of those Tides.

Total oop: $3.33

Average spent per item: $.67
