Get Bag Credits at Target!!

by | | 0 Comments

I love using my own bags and I almost always bring them with me when I go to Target.  I was very happy to receive an email from Kristi at More Than Cents telling me that Target is now giving you bag credits when you bring your own bags!!  You will receive a $.05 credit for any bag you use of your own.  Another great way to bring down your total out of pocket (OOP).  It may not seem like much but overtime it adds up. Thanks Kristi!

I'm always looking for a bargain, even for back to school cloths.  My girls are growing so fast I refuse to pay a lot for their cloths, but I do like to get them some really cute stuff.  I was shopping today and walked into a store that will remain nameless that has the absolute cutest cloths for girls but way too expensize so I walked right back out.
