Nothing worse than preparing the best beach meal and it going warm while sitting on the beach. My current cooler needs to be replaced. So this week I am in search of Summertime essentials of which a cooler is one. I am doing my best to take full advantage of Target’s excellent prices by using coupons and the Target Cartwheel. In truth, I am late to the coupon game. Call me Ms. Notorious for clipping and losing the coupons or for leaving them in the car once I am at the store. It’s not because I have so much money that saving 5-10 percent does not matter to me. That is absurd. I am focused on savings to help fuel a lifestyle that places a premium on freedom, as in Paris for a month this Fall.
So I’ve downloaded the Target Cartwheel app, that I mentioned before, and am finding it’s an easier way to manage both my spending and the sales in a timely way.
There are a few other summer essentials that I have my eye on. I am going to try to win $50 at a Twitter Chat some of my friends are hosting.Maybe you might want to join me at a Twitter chat on Wednesday at 1pm where one of us could win a $50 Target card. I need new beach chairs, extra beach toys for my Seu and one of those cute beach chairs with the shade covers. What about you?
Meet me at the Tweet Chat.

Girl, my husband needs to read this. He is the one that packs the snacks for the summer trips!! LOL! He uses the cooler ALL the time!

Yes Bernetta, it is definitely time to get our “Cooler” on. If you are going to stay all day, you have got to have your snacks. Thank you for reading.

“I’m trying to live a life style that places a premium on freedom…” (!!!!!) I loved every piece of that gem! You should be able to find a great cooler this time of year at Target. Not sure if you have a RedCard but that can save you some additional money as well.
Patricia A Patton says
Mandi indeed freedom is everything beyond health. You caught that (smile). You can choose the other things like not working and going to the beach or working AT the beach. i don’t have a Red Card. I did but it was closed due to inactivity. Maybe I should reactivate. Thank ou for reading and commenting.

I know you can find a cooler at Target. I always seem to find good coupons on the mobile app and discounts with the Cartwheel app. Hope you find a good cooler so we’ll have to hang out on the beach.

Hey Yolo. Meet you at the Beach. Come on down and I am serious.
Anu Prestonia says
I love this article and I will check target for my beach gear. The one thing that I would like is something a beach friend had and that was a carrier with huge rubber wheels that allows you to roll everything easily across the sand to your destination spot. And it was bright orange. I wonder if Target has something like that? Getting across the sand with all my stuff is always my biggest challenge.
Patricia A Patton says
Wow. Thanks Anu. I know you are a beach lover and appreciate the value of a great cooler. Target does have something like that. I will let you know when it comes on sale. I will be watching.
