Bagged & Tagged

Check this out.  I bought a new FoodSaver for $14.88

$84.99 - Target in-store price and with tax, $90.09.
$76.49 - Target online price.

Only when I got to the store, I didn't know it would be higher.  So I asked for a price adjustment and bam, I got it.

Hot dog.

But wait, it gets better.

$84.99 -- Before Tax
-$8.50 -- Price Adjustment
-----
$76.49
-$10.00 -- Manufacture Coupon
-----
$66.49
-$10.00 -- Target Coupon (my Target allows stacking)
-----
$56.49
+$3.39 -- Taxed
-----
$59.88
-$5.00 -- Promotional Target Gift Card
Given after buying on-sale, and couponed garbage bags.
-----
$54.88
-$40.00 -- Promotional Visa Gift Card
Tim received when he bought his printer and ink, at Staples.
-----
$14.88 -- Total OOP (out of pocket), expense.
Total savings with real in-store price - $75.21

How 'bout them apples?  Not too shabby.  Now, if I really wanted a zero out of pocket purchase, I could have bought more garbage bags, but given I was out of garbage bag coupons, it wasn't the logical choice.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have several pounds of 59 cent per pound chicken, that needs bagged and tagged. 

Cheers and boogie boogie.

    Savannah: That's weird, I left a comment on your blog, asking you what happened to your sisters blog - and then I got emailed a weird email about not being able to delivery my comment.

    Hope all is okay with you two.

    Can't decide which is more mind-blowing - the finale of Fringe I just watched or your mathematical prestidigitation?

    Lurker: Loved the little barrels on your blog. So cute. Good luck with the battle between you and Miss Anne. I hear she may defect to the Land of Ray.

    Carol: I bet we'd have fun.

    Flea: That is a hard word for me to pronounce. One of my prep buddies calls it green magic.

    Rayolla: Word on the street is that Miss Anne is defecting to your world. My goodness, I missed so much when I was gone.

    Stacking all of those discounts reminds me of a crazy game of Magic: the Gathering when your opponent lights you up with a bewildering combo that leaves you lifeless and ruined. Way to go! Ivy 1, Target 0!

    You are my kind of shopper Whisk. I also get more excited over how much I saved on a purchase than the actual item itself!!

    I wish I could find stores in my area that allowed stacking coupons.

    Woo-woo to your new foodsaver!

    Mo D: Howdy Hello. I'm just as happy about the product, as the price. I'm a kitchen worker. Love all useful toys, and the things I can make with them.

    So much fun :-)

    Do you have a Walgreens?
