I hate people who clear shelves!HATE HATE HATE going to the store 1 hour after opening and seeing empty shelves!!!

Sooooo.........I hit Target yesterday and found this Promotional box of Crest. It had a 4oz tube of Tooth Paste, and a Small Box of White Strips. I bought one using coupons and got it for free. I get to the car and see inside the box has coupons so I open it and the coupon says
$7 off anyone crest 3d white.
No, off of a Box ,or no white strips mentioned. So I look at the box and the Toothpaste is the 3d Whitening one. They are $2.99 which makes $4.01 overage. I notice the Boxes of 2 secret deodorants and a body spray have some coupons too.I bought 6 boxes of em because there were clearanced to $3 a set and I had coupons making them $4 for all of them. Those coupons are $3 off any Olay Face Cleanser. Their trials/travel say face and body bar. $2.07 Overage. Plus there is another $1/1 Bar Soap, again no exclusions.

I went back inside and bought another 2 more boxes using the 1 $7 coupon and opened it and took the coupons again , and repeated buying 4 , then repeated and bought 8 , then repeated and bought 10 boxes and used the overage to buy
2 HUGE things of Charmin Toilet Paper
2 packs of energizer Batteries
1 huge thing of trashbags
The few things I can not get for free or cheap basically. I also got
12 Bars of Olay ,
3 bags of Gummy snacks, (had to add them as I was under the amount needed)
10 packs of Trident Gum, "Clearanced"
20 Bottles of wishbone salad dressing , "Clearanced" $.68- $1/2 Q
2 Shick Intuition razors, "Clearanced"
8 bonus packs of Dove men care deodorant, "Clearanced"
6 boxes of benadryl topical pens,
20 small samples of various items.
2 tubes of carmex
2 betty crocker brownie mixes "Clearanced"
5 boxes of assorted "Clearanced" cereals

I paid $11.16 (tax) and got back a $5 Gift card on the Charmin.I drove home smiling the whole way, the charmin will last us a couple months alone! And everything but the Gummies I had a coupon FOR!!

I got home and started laying it all out, and was Like, OMG I CLEARED THE SHELVES!!!! Kymberly you didnt! You bad bad woman!

I cleared the shelves of Crest Bonus boxes that had the white strips and certain toothpaste bonus packs. I did leave the 3d white with scope though??? Does that make it not count? Oh and I cleared the clearance end cap too.

I wonder if I donated it all if It would make me feel better? 25 boxes won't even last me 3 months!!! We have 8 people in the family and a 5 year old who likes to paint the tile with it. And come winter the Hubby's hours go from 50 a week to 10 a week, we live off my stock pile!

Omg couponing is making me crazy!
Whats worse is those last 10 boxes I bought, they all had another $7/1 coupon inside!! They are burning a hole in my pocket!

My thought on this is....if you are going to be able to use everything that you purchased within a reasonable timeframe (say 6 months), then you did good. But if you bought it just to have a pretty stockpile and it's going to go to waste, then you should have left some for others. Only you can make that call.

In the case of a MM I'll buy up what I can, as long as I don't draw attention to myself - as in, different registers, different visits etc.
Whether I use it or not, there's always someone who will appreciate the stuff I don't need
You did awesome!!

[wookin]

Super awesome job. I love it when I come across a deal that I found myself. Sounds like your family needs/will need this stuff soon so you done good girl. Don't go second guessing yourself. If you didn't take it someone else would have.

[thorrocks1]

nice find!!! You did awesome!

[tacatcon]

Don't worry about it! You're using the stuff for your family.

Question on the Crest 3d white coupon-it has no other information? Just says "Crest 3D white"? I don't want to have people running to Target to find the coupon if it's really only for a certain product. Can you look at one of the other ones you got and let me know? Thank you!! :)

I think you did a great job! Don't second guess yourself or feel bad.

I totally agree

Nice job though

It always feel good when you find a great deal. Super exciting.

[Wolfsnaps]

Tooth paste will not go to waste. I don't see it being an issue.....UNLESS....you make a habit of it. Then, maybe. But enjoy. You did good. Im jealous. LOL

well sometimes we have to clear a shelf and thats just how it is...I mean even if you need two boxes of something and it the last two and you take them then you cleared a shelf coupon or no coupons. I have done this and I also have took the last 10 of something at one time for my coupons were expireing or the sale was ending. I dont run around doing all the time but it dose happen. I will do it again I am sure.
