I'm excited to be back again today co-hosting this link up with Becky and some other fabulous ladies! If you posted today as well, don't forget to link up with us below so we can see your awesome $10 hauls!
This month I did something different. I went to Target for one of my regular weekly (or bi-weekly or tri-weekly... you know how it goes!) trips to Target for things that I actually needed (and let's be honest, some things I didn't actually need) when I came across some things that would be perfect for $10 at Target. I didn't really have enough time to look around so I snagged the items then and figured I'd go back for more later. Well, I did just that, BUT now I don't have any receipts to show what I bought and how much it truly cost. So, for this month, we're going estimate.
I got these two items on my first trip. My first item was these notecards. The notecards were from the Dollar Spot and were just too cute to pass up. I mean, who wouldn't want to get a note with a cute little flamingo on the front in the mail? The second item was the Justin's peanut butter cups. I'd been seeing people rant and rave about these peanut butter cups for ages and I'd yet to try them. They are a bit pricey (being organic and all) so I hesitate to buy them regularly but I figured for my haul, I could splurge. They barely made it out of the store and into my car before I devoured them. They are SO GOOD.
I had so much fun shopping for myself and am excited to continue this link up! Now, link up and then hop around and check out how the rest of my co-hosts (and everyone else!) spent their $10!

Notecards : $1
Peanut Butter Cups : $1.99
On my second trip, I picked up a few more items. The first items were these brushes. On one of my previous hauls, I got some E.L.F. brushes and LOVE them. I decided to try a few more and so far... I love them just as much! The second two items are more Justin's items. I actually wanted more peanut butter cups since I loved them so much, but I couldn't find any so I opted for trying the hazelnut butter with pretzels. I love Nutella and thought they would be a healthier alternative. I did end up trying them and I have to say... I like Nutella better. I'm sure, in reality, both are equally bad for you, so I'll stick with the creamier option of Nutella. This one didn't have a bad taste or anything, but it was a little thicker than I'd like. The honey peanut butter I actually haven't tried yet. I have tried their regular almond butter and love it so I'm hoping this is good too since I always make myself a peanut butter and honey sandwich. Maybe this will help me skip a step and I can kill two birds with one stone with this package. I'll keep you posted!
Brush : $1
Brush : $1
Hazelnut Butter with Pretzels : $1.99
Honey Peanut Butter : $1.19
So, if you're keeping track...
Notecards : $1
Peanut Butter Cups : $1.99
Brush : $1
Brush : $1
Hazelnut Butter with Pretzels : $1.99
Honey Peanut Butter : $1.19
Total : $8.17
Somewhere in there you'd need to add 8% sales tax and subtract 5% for the Target Red Card... which, if you ask me, is just too much math to do on your own, so we'll estimate that I still had a good almost $2 I could have spent. So, as it turns out, I could have spent more! Oh well, I'd say this evens out some of my overage trips. Next month, I'll keep better track!
Great haul! I LOVE ELF brushes. I could use another smudge brush!
ReplyDeleteLove those notecards! And confession - I've never had any of the Justin's goodies.
ReplyDeleteI love those notecards! Every time I've gone to Target recently, they don't have any notecard packs in the dollar spot and I'm bummed. Those PB cups look great though! Must try them.
ReplyDeleteI picked up those flamingo note cards too - they are so fun!

I've been meaning to try Justin's stuff, they always have deals on Cartwheel for them but I never remember to grab some.
ReplyDeleteI love the notecards! And I love elf products by haven't tried their brushes. May have to next time!
ReplyDeleteYour estimation and explanation made me laugh! Love the note cards!! I've never had any of the Justin stuff. :/
ReplyDeleteThis is so fun!!! LOVE the notecards, I'm a pretty paper product addict!
ReplyDeleteI love the flamingo cards! So cute!
ReplyDeleteHow much fun... I love this challenge ;)
ReplyDeleteChelsea @ http://thewilliamsjourney1.blogspot.com
Yum, yum, Yum! Those peanut butter cups look SO good!
ReplyDeleteI for one would love a flamingo card! I also love Justin's products! We usually just eat the spreads straight from the pouch, no shame ;)
ReplyDeleteI think the Justin's has less sugar than the regular ol' nutella. I actually like it better. But I'm not really a nutella freak like others. Most others. Those pb cups though, yum. Minus the dark chocolate. Not a dark chocolate fan.
ReplyDeleteI love those flamingo cards! They are so, so cute! I love that you broke it up into several trips...more Target = Heck Ya! I would do the math for you, but I'll refrain...
ReplyDeleteLol, I love that you bought snacks. That's my kinda girl!
ReplyDeleteI'd have just bought a $9 bottle of wine and called it a day lol
I've never had any Justin's treats but I've heard good things, I'll have to try them. The makeup brushes are such a smart buy too--great idea!
ReplyDeleteTheoretically you could get like 8 brushes (depending on tax) and still be under!! I love those elf brushes!
ReplyDeleteXo, Evelina @ Fortunate House
You were WAY UNDER! You should go back and make up that $2!!
ReplyDeleteAlso. Your tax is only 8%?! I know ours is a little over 9%.
One of these days, I will do one of these. The Dollar Spot has really turned out to be one of my favorite spots ever! That's it, I'm setting a task & I will do this linkup next month! Now, I just gotta drive the half hour to the closest Target. :)
ReplyDeleteI seriously do not spend enough time in the Target dollar spot section. I never find stuff like this!
ReplyDelete$8.17...you can afford popcorn and a coke at snack bar. Do all Target's have that? Our Target has the best popcorn! You got some great stuff though!
ReplyDeleteI have been loving all the notecards in the dollar spot. And Justin's honey peanut butter is my absolute favorite!!!
ReplyDeleteI bought a bunch of notecards, too. So cute!
ReplyDeleteThose pb cups are amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Um, I need to pick up those notecards and try out your yummies. I see another trip to Target on the horizon (like it wouldn't have been anyways.hahaha).
ReplyDeleteI think I ALWAYS leave Target with a pack of cute little $1 notecards, my favorite!! Justin's stuff is always a good idea, mmmmmm!! :)
