Totally love Target!!!

As always I cut, searched, and gathered my coupons Saturday to be ready for the Sunday Madness. In all the craziness of getting everything situated I did not pay close enough attention to the coupons I laid aside for my weekly Target trip. So I included a picture of the goods and the receipt for the time being until I figure the coupon craziness out!! Sorry for the delay!!
