Target and Ralphs Savings week ending Sept 18

Target: Lots of great deals this week combined with coupons. I spent more than I wanted to, but I need a lot of non-food items like shaving cream and soap. I usually go to Target once or twice a month. I never buy health/beauty items in a grocery store unless it's a really good sale and I have a coupon. The prices at Target are just so much lower. For example, Gillette Series shave gel is a $1 less at Target than compared to Ralphs. That's just the beginning.

Great Mex & Ralphs yogurt deal

I wanted to share the great deals I had so far this week. I live on Balboa Island (informative site done by Carolyn Carr) in Newport Beach, CA. After taking a 5-min ferry ride across to the Balboa Peninsula, there is a great little Mexican joint called Great Mex. Every Tuesday and Friday they have $1 tacos and drafts! Since J** was in town we decided to go. Basically you can order a chicken, carnitas or beef taco for a dollar with no coupon required. Also, the fish tacos are only $2, marked down from $4.

Even though the place is small with only about room for 25-30 people and we had to wait in line for about 20 min, it is totally worth it to eat here. we ended up taking order to go and at on the sea wall at the Balboa Pier. I come every few weeks or so and enjoy the flour tortillas, but you can get a crispy taco as well. Their prices overall are very decent as well. The burritos are about $4-6 depending on the type of meat.

Savings: We each ordered 3 for a savings of $6.00.

Last night J** needed some yogurt so we went to Ralphs. I already knew these would be on sale and I had coupons.
