Target

The chain of Target stores tend to vary prices significantly from area to area.  When looking for store match-ups for this store, try to find a blogger that focuses on your area to avoid the possibility of showing up only to find higher prices.

The following facts and stats are current at the time of posting and accurate for the Greater Cincinnati Market.

  • DOUBLE MANUFACTURER COUPONS: Target does NOT offer double coupons. 
  • STORE COUPONS:  Target offers store coupons that can be stacked with manufacturer coupons!  GO HERE for these coupons.  These coupons (stacked with manufacturer coupons) are the best way to save when shopping Target!
  • MOBILE COUPONS: Target offers Mobile Coupons that are sent to you via test message.  When you are ready to use, simpy show your phone at checkout to get the savings!
  • PRINTABLE COUPONS:  Target accepts printable coupons.  (Please note these following printable tips are not Meijer specific).  Print your coupons from reliable sources.  For a list of reliable printable coupon site, please GO HERE.  Do not (ever) use coupons that pull up in MS Word or a similar program.  Stores do not put out coupons in this manner.  CENTS OFF is a great resource and HERE you will find a list of coupons that have been discovered as fraudulent.  If you suspect a coupon but it’s not listed, know that it simply may not be added yet.  Follow your gut instinct! 
  • RAINCHECKS:  Target offers rainchecks when items are out of stock (unless otherwise indicated).  Get these as they are your way to making sure you get your products and your savings!  This also buys you time to gather more coupons.  Target rainchecks can be obtained at the customer service desk (or at checkout) and are valid for one month from the date of issue.  When an item is a popular item, you may find hangtags that you should take with you to checkout for your raincheck.  This is a nice feature as it offers a way for your to remember!
  • MARK DOWNS:  Target tends to have AWESOME markdowns at the end of a season.  I especially love to shop here after Christmas when the markdowns start.  I LOAD UP every year!!! 
  • REUSABLE BAGS:  Target offers $0.05 off per reusable bag that you use when checking out.  Please note your bags can be from any store and of any style.  They do not have to be Target purchased bags.    

You can link to the store site, coupons, match-ups, store locator, store ads and so much more HERE.

Do you have to have a web-based phone to use the mobile coupons or is a texting phone sufficient?
