Use the Target Cartwheel app

Cartwheel is Target’s social coupon app. Simply download the Target app, log in, and present the coupons you want to use to the cashier when you check out. The great thing about Cartwheel is that you can use the coupons with Target and manufacturer coupons for an even better discount. Also, coupons through the app can be used up to four times. So if you buy four of discounted bottles of shampoo, money can be taken off each bottle. Don’t miss out on these 50 insider secrets to save big bucks at all of your favorite stores!

Target is one of the retailers that lets you double dip your coupons. You can use Target coupons, manufacturer coupons, and Cartwheel coupons all on the same item. If you’re lucky, you may be able to get the product for free, or even at a profit. Or try stealing these money-saving habits from bargain shoppers.

Price match items

Target also lets you price match items that sell for a lower price at select retailers. If you find an item in the store for less at target.com, amazon.com, walmart.com, bestbuy.com, toysrus.com, babiesrus.com, or a competitor’s local printed ad, you can bring your receipt in with proof of the lower price and they will give you the difference. Something to note, it has to be within seven days of the purchase date. Here are the shopping tips you never knew you needed to save tons of money at Costco.
