In the Trial Size section of Target, I found Tide samples that do 1 load of wash for .97 each, I had a $1 off coupon that did NOT say no trial size, bought 4 of them.  (I don't use Tide, and the coups were getting ready to expire on 10/31, figured I get while the gettin was good)!  These trial size make nice additions for a college student or for a gift basket.  I also found in that same area...Colgate toothpaste a whole basket that was marked down to .99, (they were not samples, but in the sample area), I had coups for .50 off those, they are full size for .49 each.  I used my last Covergirl $8 off 2 face items...I bought 2 more Cheekers Blushers for $7.48, made .52 on those.  I now have 14 of them that I MADE a total of $3.64 on!  ha.  I found Glade candles marked down to $2.54 each, I had .50 off each one and a Target coupon for $1.50 off 2 candles, making them $1.24 each.  Last but certainly not least, I found Glade Limited Edition Fall Collection room sprays in Cashmere Woods marked down to $2.15 each, I had .55 off each one making them $1.65 each.  Oh, and Blue Bonnet Margarine for some baking I'm doing..... .87 a pound package.  Didn't have a coupon, but great price.
Sometimes it just pays....when you have the time...to walk around these stores with coupon books in tow....and take a look around.  Go through the trial size aisles, most stores have them now.  They mark down so much stuff....and you don't know unless you go look for bargains like I did today.  I am really thinking about making a section in my notebooks for coupons that do not have a limit on them....that do not say No Trial Sizes. That way it would go a little faster in your search.  
Okay, that is it for me for this week....I did not go grocery shopping this week and I don't intend to until the next ads come out next Thursday.  Have a great rest of the week...and remember, be savvy money savers always!  Love, RG
