How To Save Money Each Time You Shop At Target
We are all guilty of having Target as our second home, always leaving with more than what we intended buying, am I right? Home decor is my guilty pleasure. Even if it's just to "window shop", I find myself convincing my helpless little brain (and heart) that I need that adorable geometric mirror or turquoise vase.
But besides the unnecessary things we spend our hard earned cash on, Target is deals when it comes to drug-store makeup, clothes and yummy snacks, which are necessary. So why not save a few bucks on already affordable purchases?
Not only does Target have it's own credit card, but you can also sign up for their debit card that links directly to your personal checking account. So no need to apply for more retailer's credit cards.
Right now, every time I shop with my debit REDcard, I am instantly saving 5% at checkout. Yeah, it's a small 5%, but hey, it adds up! AND not only that, but Target has the Cartwheel App, which gives you additional coupons on top of that 5% on certain items the day that you shop.
**Some restrictions apply. See REDcard benefits & program rules.
Shopping ain't fun without your coffee fix so If this all still seems too good to be true, the REDcard also gives you 5% off your purchase at their Starbuck's. Oh heeeey!
What's the Target Cartwheel App?
Whenever you are shopping at Target, log into your App and scan items you have in your physical cart to see if they quality for extra discounts that day. Or before your trip, log in and see what offers are going on that day to know what to look for ahead of time.
If you are like me growing up, my family was on top of the couponing game. That girl you see pushing the cart keeping count of the cut-out coupons while her mom races down the aisles. That was, and continues to be, me my entire life.
These screenshots were taken from my phone. I only started using the Cartwheel offers a couple months ago and have already saved $19.13. However, I've had the REDcard debit for a couple years now, so my savings have been even greater.
I hope you join too because there's really absolutely nothing to lose. You aren't paying any annual fees or anything like that. This is completely free! You're shopping already low prices at Target AND saving even more.
Being able to avoid the scissors and annoying paper coupons falling out of my pockets is a lifesaver. For reals. This app is so convenient. I simply click the Cartwheel offers I like and they are loaded to my account immediately. Once at checkout, I scan the barcode from my phone and the discounts are applied. Like that! PLUS, I get my extra 5% discount using my REDcard. WINNING! And you can too =D
