Target allows you to "stack" coupons, which means you can use a printed Target coupon, a Manufacturer's coupon and their digital savings on the same item! If the item is on sale this can result in a very low price or even a free product. If you add the cash back sites we talked about in our earlier blog, you can save even more and sometimes make a profit when buying an item!
So how do you find these coupons and deals? There are three types of Target Coupons
Target has printable coupons that you can print from their website www.coupons.Target.com. You are allowed to print each coupons twice from your computer.
They also have digital coupons that are sent to your phone via text. You only have to show the barcode on your phone to the cashier in order to receive the savings. Sign up for digital target coupons at http://www.target.com/spot/mobile/landing.
The third option to save at Target is Cartwheel. Cartwheel is Target's new social coupon program.You can log on at https://cartwheel-secure.target.com and/or download the Cartwheel App at the Google Playstore/Apple store. Simply Choose the coupons you want and Cartwheel shares this with your Facebook friends. You have the option to print out a barcodeor use the app on your phone and show it when you check out.
Don't forget your manufacturer's coupons which are found in the Sunday newpaper insertsand online at Coupons.com, Smartsource.com and other coupons sites.
Sounds confusing, right? There is a very easy way to find all of these savings and organize them. I personally use SouthernSavers.com. You will find the Target page under the "National Stores" Tab. I like the fact that you can check off the items you want to purchase and print a shopping list with all the coupons so you don't forget any of them when at the checkout. Another great site is AllThingsTarget.com. These sites will tell you all the Target coupons available, all the manufacturers coupons available, and give you links to all printable coupons.
Let me give you an example of how these all work together. I visited my local Target last night and bought several items.
Dozen Eggs: Store cost $1.24 My cost $.20 Texted GRILL to Target (827438) for $.50 off and used Cartwheel for 5% off. Then scanned my receipt onto the Checkout51 app for a rebate of $.50.
Finish Dishwasher Detergent: Store Cost $3.99 My Cost $.99 $1.00 printable Target Coupon + $2.00 printable manufacturer's coupons at coupons.com.
California Kitchen Frozen Pizza: Store Cost $5.49 My Cost $.49 each All frozen Pizza's are buy one/get one free. Buy two, use $1.50/2 two printable Target Coupon + $1.50 California Kitchen Coupon
So now you have an idea how these all fit together to help you save and you have a couple of websites to help keep you organized.
You can save even more by using your Target Debit card for an additional 5% off your entire purchase. And remember, print your manufacturer's coupons from a "point site" such as Inbox Dollars or Mypoints and earn additional points/dollars for printing and using the coupons!
So happy savings at Target!
