paid to shop

yep, did that today. target had a smoking deal on kellogs snack bars, cookies, and pop tarts. between the manufacturer coupons, the target coupons, and the kellogs rebate, i spent $20 (w/ a gift card), and got back $15 in gift cards, plus $10 for the rebate-yep, I made $5, and walked out w/ 6 huge things of poptarts (normally $3 each), 4 boxes of fudge striped cookies($3 each full priced), and 2 packages of kellogs snack bars (normally $3 each). oh, and i found a stash of $1 off per one item of kellogs snack bars, so going back tomorrow to get them (and using the gift cards i got today to buy them, and will still get $5 gift cards in return for purchasing those items, so when all is said and done, the snacks are free!). just when our snack supply was getting low, it gets refilled, for free!
