Target REDCard Rocks!

Over the weekend I put my Target REDCard/eBoxtops plan to the test.  I bought a bunch of stuff online at Target, selecting only items that we actually really need and use, and items that are available online.  I also checked that the price for the online items was the same as in the store.  The bottom line: I spent $57.69.  SEA gets $1.44.  That's 2.5% of my spending at Target going to the school!  I think its a win-win-win all around: I got my shopping done during a snowstorm, my kid gets new undershirts and socks, and the school gets a nice contribution!

Read on for a summary.
