But I found a deal today that just struck my fancy as one to do over and over. Plus while I was there, Mom of the Deal and I picked up a couple ibotta rebates on things we will use to push towards those monthly bonuses. So we had two moneymakers and a couple regular shopping items.
Here are the deals we were going for:
This one I mentioned a couple weeks ago. The Cartwheel is still attached to my account, but I can't find the link for it anymore. I unfortunately only had one coupon left for this, which is why you'll only see it in one transaction.

This is the one that struck my fancy this morning and I decided to do over and over.

So, when I get to Target, I discover that at our location People magazine is $5.99 instead of $4.99. I run the numbers, see that it is still a profit and figure I'm there anyway, so why not. I have access to 5 computers at home so I had enough coupons for 10 transactions and rolled with it. (I dropped off stuff after each transaction and got more, trying to be considerate to other shoppers.
(Note, there is a limit of 6 Cartwheel transactions in a day. Mom of the Deal was with me and after her one transaction, let me borrow her Cartwheel for 3 of the transactions.)
