Target is running a deal, buy 5 Quaker products, receive a $5 Target Gift Card.  Someone in corprate (bless their hearts!) decided to include the Quaker Brown Sugar single serves in the deal.  These are priced at $1.02 apiece this week.  So, they work out to $.02 apiece.  I stopped by the Target near John&#8217;s work.  I found 3 on the shelf and went to inquire about more.  The store emplyees were more than happy to work with me.  They asked me how many I wanted.  I sheepishly asked for 20.  They came back with two cases of 12.  With one of the ones from the shelf, that makes for 25.  I always go to Target with a $5 gift card, for just such a time as this.  The sweet clerk rang up 5 separate transactions, rolling the gift cards.  I love it when a plan comes together.  Below is a scan of all 5 receipts, as well as a close up of one.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/johnpedroza.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/rcptsweb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-590\" title=\"rcptsweb\" src=\"http:\/\/johnpedroza.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/rcptsweb-300x212.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" \/><\/a>c<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/johnpedroza.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/zoomrctweb.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-591\" title=\"zoomrctweb\" src=\"http:\/\/johnpedroza.com\/blog1\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/zoomrctweb-300x233.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"233\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>In a related note, AJ has added a new word to his ever growing vocabulary: hood.
