How I got 2 100 oz bottles of All detergent for $1.48 plus tax

Now my intent here is not to become a coupon blog (yet anyway!) but I would like to share this deal with you. Several of you have asked how I do my couponing- it can be very tricky getting started- and this is an excellent (although rare) example.

Target has a deal going where you buy two 100-oz bottles of All for 7.99 each and you get a $5 Target card. Well, I had 2 All manufacturer's coupons (1 for $1 and 1 for $2 off; also called MFCs) then right before I went to the store I checked my booklet of Target coupons and found a $1.50 off All! Target's coupon policy lets you "stack" manufacturers coupons with their own coupons.

To make things even better, I had a $5 target gift card already from a previous deal similar to this one. So here is how it breaks down:

Two bottles of All @ 7.99 each = 15.98 - $2 MFC - $1 MFC - $1.50 target coupon - $5 previous gift card= $6.48. Then I got the $5 gift card, bringing my total to a grand $1.48. This detergent should last 2-3 months.

Such an exciting deal! Ben and I are getting on a very strict budget and deals like this make it much more exciting.
