Target trip 3/31...and my BIG announcement!

So I had no intentions of going out today, but forgot about an appointment that I had booked. So excited that I did though had such an awesome day couponing (and I hope you will too). My destination happened to be right beside a Target so of course you KNOW I just had to swing in. Well, there was a little bit of planning involved. Purex Complete Crystals were on sale reportedly for $2.99. I called ahead to make sure, and got SO excited when they said YES! I bought some a few weeks ago at Walgreens and they are awesome and smell so good (highly recommend), and have been saving my coupons up for this perfect sale (I believe they are on price cut until 4/17). I then asked the manager how many they had in stock he said they had "plenty" (I knew I wanted 10). When I told him I wanted 10 he said, "Oh well, I'll pull a case for you from the back." Yeah, for a awesome manager. One aspect that is important on this transition to "extreme couponer" is being respectful of clearing shelves and keeping enough stock out there for the normal shoppers. So yes, I advocate "special ordering" or calling ahead for items you know you will be stockpiling. I also went searching through my binder and didn't realize that a lot of great coupons were expiring today :(
Here is my trip:
