Oh lookie what came in the mail this week! It’s my free $10 Target gift card that I got for signing up with Ebates and making 1 $25 purchase that I was going to make anyways. I love getting free gift cards for buying things I was already planning to buy. If you haven’t gotten your $10 gift card (you choose from Target, Barnes & Noble, Home Depot, or Magazines.com), you can still sign up to get one. Details are here.

Now onto the shopping that I did with that gift card…..

We went to Target today and found a sweet deal on M&Ms. Some of the packs of Valentine’s Day M&Ms had Buy Two, Get One Free Target peelie stickers on them. They did not specify that you had to buy Valentine’s Day M&Ms in order to get the Valentine’s Day M&Ms free. I was REALLY glad I’d printed the $1/1 Pretzel M&Ms printable coupon right before we left!  Here’s how I got my M&Ms for $.93 per bag.

Buy 3 M&Ms (2 Pretzel, 1 Holiday) – $2.89 each
Use 2 $1/1 Pretzel M&Ms printable coupon
Use 1 $1/1 M&Ms coupon from February All You Magazine
Use Buy 2 Get 1 Free peelie Target  coupon
Final Price: $2.78 ($.93 each)

So we got all 3 bags for less than $1 each!! I think we’ll bake some Valentine’s Day M&M Cookies with our pink M&Ms.
