It was not that long ago that I did not have a loving relationship with my local Target. They hire very unfriendly cashiers who cannot read or understand coupons or their own companies coupon policy.
I don't try to do any Complicated scenarios at my local Target any more. I don't try to use coupons on trial sized packages, even if they are not excluded and i don't piggyback coupons most of the time. I don't stack coupons, especially if I am in a cashier's line and I haven't dealt with them before. It's pretty sad that I limit myself to only a handful of items because it is Not worth the aggravation.
My new love of Target began about 3 months ago. I applied for a Target Red Card Debit card. It links to your bank account. A nd works just like your ATM card does, EXCEPT.... You receive 5% off your purchase, just for using the card. Pretty sweet. That five percent really makes a diference.
Additionally when you fill 5 rX's at the. Pharmacy and pay with. Your red card, you receive a. Five percent Savings Certificate to be used all over the store. That's one shopping trip where you can use the certificate with your red card and save 10%, in addition to your coupons.
Today I hit up Target to pick up my rX and I had received a $10.00 gift certificate coupon for the new new rX I filled in the store. I also picked up more infant formula (the saga of breastfeeding and milk supplies is for a completely different post, lemme tell ya!), which was on sale for $32.00 and WYB 2, you receive a $10.00 gift card.
I had 2 $5.00 formula checks and 2 $2.00 Enfamil coupons, so I saved $14.00, plus I received a $10.00 gift card! After coupons and the gift card, I paid only $40.00 for approx. a months worth of formula!
My rX was $15.00, so after my gift card, it was only $5.00!!
I'll use the gift card to buy groceries, and to make sure I get. My 5% savings, I'll spend just a smidge over $20.00 and put the rest. On my target red card!
