Those of you without kids don't know the bane of existence known as diaper shopping. They're expensive and the bigger your child gets, the less diapers come in a package, as if they were a drug that you've built up a tolerance against that requires more and more to get the same fix. A cruel injustice to parents everywhere. Thankfully, Target offered a sale where if you bought 3 jumbo packs of diapers for $8.99 you'd receive a $5 gift card. That's not a great deal, after all a "jumbo" pack of diapers only has about 50 diapers, which lasts about 10 days if you're lucky. But I went shopping with my mom who had a 10 percent off Target coupon. So 3 diapers for $27, minus $2.70 is $24.30 plus the $5 gift card. AND I had 3 coupons for $3 off each diaper pack, so my final price was $15.30 and a $5 gift card. Three retail forces converged upon each other made this the perfect storm.
However, Target being my kryptonite, I was completely unable to escape without buying more. I also found a cell phone charge station on clearance for $14, a Dr. Seuss book on sale for $3, the Muppets Take Manhattan on DVD for $5, and this shiny new mirror for $15. Oh Target Clearance, I am powerless against your wily ways!
That diaper deal is called a triple play in the coupon world!
