Back To School on a Budget: Shop Clearance & Add Coupons ~ Spent $16, Saved $78

As much as I had to admit it, I know that the kids will be headed back to school in 5 weeks.  Am I ready for them to go back to school?  Absolutely not!  Do I know that I still have to purchase their clothes, shoes, and school supplies so that they are ready when school starts?  Absolutely!  That's why I've already been shopping summer  clearance and scoping out the best prices on the things they are going to need.

  

It is a nightmare to find jeans that actually fit my teenage son.  He has very long legs and has a slender build.  I'll have to say that I dislike shopping for his jeans almost as much as I hate shopping for mine!  So, when I find jeans that actually fit him the right way, I have to buy a couple pairs.  Yesterday, we found three pairs and they were all on clearance!

My Target Cartwheel Coupon Deals: 

Two pairs of grey jeans on clearance for $2.24 each (Reg. price $19.99)
Pair of blue jeans on clearance for $2.24 (Reg. price $19.99)
Pair of jean capris on clearance for $7.48 (Reg. price $14.99)
Merona 4 pack of white men's t-shirts on clearance for $7.98 (Reg. price $15.99)

– Subtotal $22.18
 – $4.45 Target Cartwheel Coupon ~ 20% off clearance clothes

– Subtotal after coupons $17.73

The jeans ended up being just $1.79 a pair!  Less than $2 for a brand new pair of jeans?  You can't beat that!  Especially when you're buying them for a growing teenager.  The capris for my daughter were only $5.98 and the t-shirts for my husband cost $6.38.

Tax $1.06
Total out of pocket $18.79
Total saved $77.72

Total spent at Target $18.79
Total saved at Target $77.72


Did you redeem any Target Cartwheel coupons this week?  If so, how much did you save?

    I need to try this Target Cartwheel app because there are just way too many sales that I'm missing out on! Jealous of your bargain hunting abilities!

    You did fantastic Bridget! I can so feel you on growing teenage boys, but I'm afraid my oldest is out of the kids section already. Awesome price on the jeans!

    Wow that's a great deal! I didn't even think about getting my son's clothes at Target, which is silly because that's where I buy mine! I need to head there this weekend.
