86 Coupons Later.....

That's right...I used 86 coupons in one transaction at Target today. Now I know that may be pushing the limit, but in my defense, the store was NOT busy, there were NO lines, and after my extremely long glucola test this morning, I really didn't feel like making multiple trips in and out of the store. (Thanks Ginny for not getting upset with me! (Ginny is the BEST, most patient cashier ever at my Target store!)) Anyway.....here is what my transaction looked like:
