The In's and Out's of Shopping at Target

With all the coupon policies changing now days, I have been getting quite a few emails and comments about Target. While someday in the future they may be changing their policy's, as far as I can tell right now they are still the same. Here is the IN's and OUT's of shopping at Target to help you get the most for your money.

Target is one of the best stores to shop at in my opinion. They have great customer service! They are always very helpful with any questions you may have, and my favorite is they are so easy to deal with when you have coupons. They are almost happy to take them. With that being said, if you should ever have a problem with anyone or anything at Target, let them know. ~ They want to hear from you and to make it right!

Target Customer Service: 1-800-440-0680

E-mail feedback to Target Corporate Headquarters]

Every few days Target releases new coupons. If you see one that you might use, print it then!!! Coupons sometimes go fast on Target.com so print it if you think you may use it! http://coupons.target.com/ I like to check the coupons every 3 days or so. Sometimes they release more coupons and you can pick up ones that you thought were gone. They are good for about a month from when you print them. One of the good coupons (among many) that they have is their clothing coupons. I find lots of items on their clearance that you can combine with their clothing coupons and get them for free. (Read my Target score here!) You can also get Target mobile coupons by texting COUPONS to 827438 (Target). - You can only one Target mobile coupon per transaction. (So lets say you have a mobile coupon for $1.00 off Bayer Aspirin and you want to buy 5. You will have to do 5 separate transactions to save the most.)
Targets Coupon policy is pretty simple.
They accept 2 kinds of coupons:

Valid Target-issued coupons

Manufacturer coupons

Target Policy allows 1 store coupon AND 1 manufacturer coupon to be used on the same product!

Coupon value will be reduced if exceeds the value of the item after discounts and coupons are applied (e.g. $1 coupons will be reduced to $0.99 when purchasing a $0.99 item).

Target does not give cash if the coupon value is greater than the cost of the item.

To save paper, Target coupons can be printed at the gift registry in-store. - I LOVE THIS ONE!!

Targets Price Match Policy is great also! Don't forget to have a copy of this in your binder as well!

Target will match the price of a competitor's advertisement if the advertisement is local and current and the product being matched is identical.

Target will adjust previous purchases within 7 days prior to the purchase.
Copies, photos, print outs, or anything other than the original advertisement will not be accepted during price matching.

Target coupons will be applied before price matching.

Any manufacturer coupons will be applied after price matching.

Extra Ways to Save Money:

You get $.05 off your bill for each reusable bag that you use at checkout.

Don't forget to look for Target's Gift Card promotions. These look like ~ Buy 2 of x items and get a $5.00 gift card back ~ most of the time they look like that. You can use those gift cards on your next checkout or save them up to use them all at once.

You can get a Target Credit Card and save 5% off of each transaction you have, including Starbucks in Target and the food court. ~ This is my favorite though! Target has came out with a Target Debit Card. It can only be used at Target but it pulls right from your checking account that you would more likely pay with anyways and by using your Target Debit Card, you save an extra 5% off your bill too! So when you have 75% off on clearance, with the debit card you now save 80%!! I love that!!

Target's Clearance is great! Be on the watch as they mark items down
Target has a national markdown schedule. Watch the end caps of aisles for marked down, clearance, and discounted items. Mark downs take place every two weeks and items will continue to be marked down every two weeks until sold or reaches 75%. Target rarely marks non-holiday items lower than 75%.
Below is the full markdown schedule:

Monday: Electronics, Kids Clothing, & Stationary
Tuesday: Domestics, Women's Clothing, Pets, & Grocery
Wednesday: Men's Clothing, Toys, Health & Beauty, Lawn & Garden
Thursday: Housewares, Lingerie, Shoes, Sporting Goods, Movies, Music, Books, Decor, & Luggage
Friday: Auto, Cosmetics, Hardware, & Jewelry

Holiday are as follows (Christmas markdowns vary):

Post Holiday Day 1-3: 50% off
Post Holiday Day 4-6: 75% off
Post Holiday Day 7-8: 90% off

Hope this all helps you to make your shopping at Target a bit easier. Please feel free to share it with your coupon buddies. Don't forget to print out the coupon policy, price match policy and this to keep in your binder! Good luck!!

Coupon Binder

How do you keep your coupons? Do you have a coupon binder? Do you keep them in a file?
Most couponers have a binder. This is how I have my binder separated out. I take my binder and coupons with me everywhere I go. If I see something on clearance then I can flip right to that section, grab my coupon and score a great sale. It saves so much time!
Check out my Coupon Binder Printables here! Feel free to share them!

Target Scores 9/15

Have I ever mentioned how much I love Target? Well let me tell you, this place has amazing deals. I know it is nothing new, and most of you know that. But week after week it thoroughly impresses me! Thank you Target for making my day!
So I headed to Target yesterday and I felt like a kid in a candy store. They had a week or so ago two coupons that I had printed. One was $5.00 off Mossimo apparel and the other was $5.00 off Medrona bottoms. So I headed to the clearance items....whoooo baby was I happy! I had my 13 year old daughter with me, who would love to shop every minute of her life if she could. So I told her the coupons we had and we started looking. She got all giddy, a whole rack of shorts for $4.48, so they were free with our $5.00 coupon. She grabbed a few pairs that she liked and we still had a few coupons so I called my sister-in-law...."Hey, I'm at Target. You want me to get you some free shorts?" Giddy laughing pause, "YEAH!!!" I love clothes shopping but it is so much funner when you get it for free!!

So here is a break down on what I was able to stock up on over 2 trips yesterday.


First Trip:
6 pairs of shorts - $4.48 each - $5.00 mossimo coupon = FREE
40 spiral notebooks - $.05 each (stock up for next years school) = $2.00
20 composition notebooks - $.10 each = $2.00
1 nap time mat - $2.38
5 Nivea body wash - $2.99 - $2.00 coupon and $1.00 target coupon = FREE
6 Ballpoint pens - $.99 each - $1.00/2 = $2.94
2 Packs of Skittles - $.69 - $1.00/2 = $.19 each
2 bottles of ReNu - $5.99 - $2.00 coupon and $1.00 target coupon = $1.99 each
Total = $15.75 with a savings of $70.56

Trip Two:
2 pairs of shorts - $4.48 - $5.00 = FREE
4 Aquafresh toothpaste - $.97-$1.00 = FREE
6 Cascade Complete - $.97-$1.00 = FREE
Total $.93 (tax - BUT this is the reason you watch your receipt, I didn't notice that they charged me $.30 for one pair of shorts, I don't know why but it should have only been $.63- watch your receipts!)

Pretty good for a total of 8 pairs of shorts and other things for under $17.00 total! Love it!
Have you had any good deals this week from Target? I would love to hear it!
Have a great weekend and let's hear your deals this week!!

Free Icee

Having an Icee brings me right back to being a kid! It was a treat but if we were really good, Mom would let us have an Icee! I remember I loved the cheery ones. Get a free one this Friday or any of the following dates (9/16, 9/23, 9/30 and 10/7/2011) just by headed over to AMC Theaters Facebook Page and "like" them.  FREE 20 oz ICEE coupon. Coupon valid for FRIDAY’S ONLY (9/16, 9/23, 9/30 and 10/7/2011)
Enjoy!!

Tacoma's Free Movie Night

I love to go and see movies in the park! They are so much fun. The kids have a blast, and most of the time it costs the family nothing (which its hard to find things like that anymore.) So if you live in or around Tacoma, then head on down to Tollefson Plaza with your chairs and blanket and of course your popcorn  and catch a free movie with you and your family. Check out more info here. Hope you get a chance to go and enjoy this!
