How much can you buy with USD18?...Alot!

This is a trick learn in order to save money on diapers!! Most parents have been telling us how much is spent each month just on disposables...Lucky us, Target (supermarket) is offering some good deals on Pampers. And if you are slick to combine these discounts with other manufacturers coupons, you could save big $$...So, i took the advice of a friend (expert coupon collector) and spent this whole week collecting coupons and bidding them on Ebay....It's my first time doing such, and was getting a little nervous when i realized i was spending almost 25bucks just on coupons alone! (These coupons are actually free and can be collected from newspapers, but since i needed many, it's easier to bid them off Ebay, and boy were they HOT items) So, i was getting worried, What if my coupons didn't work at Target? What if i get caught using too many coupons for my purchase? What if they arrived late after the promotion ended? Anyway, we waited almost a whole week, for all of the coupons to arrive by mail, there were 5 different kinds, when we got all our bullets ready, we headed for Target.

My heart was beating really fast at the check-out, (the trick was to get a young naive cashier, who doesn't know much about coupons policy) and we were lucky. She scanned all the items in our cart, and the total came out to USD268. ( We bought 15pks diapers, 25pks wipes & baby toiletries) And then, slowly, i took out my coupons, and she took more than 60 coupons...guess how much the total was? USD 18 was it a Good Bargain!! I quickly paid her cash and left asap...Total savings after deduction of coupons bids = USD 225
