Target has an awesome savings program called Cartwheel by Target which offers additional opportunities to save even more! You can get as much as an additional 50% off, occasionally even higher, on items at Target including grocery, health & beauty, baby, clothing and much more. The best part is that you can combine Cartwheel offers with your coupons! You are allowed one Cartwheel offer with one manufacturer’s coupon and one Target coupon, triple the savings!
Cartwheel can be accessed 2 ways. You can access Cartwheel from a computer, browse and add offers and then print out your barcode to use in store. Or… Cartwheel can be accessed in the Target App on mobile Devices. This will allow many other features of the App to be utilized like scanning barcodes on items to see if there are any cartwheel offers and more.
To get started from your desktop, just go HERE, or just download the Target app from Google Play or iTunes and create an account. Then, log in to your account and you’re ready to start saving!
Now simply browse thru the offers on the desktop or your phone and hit the plus sign to add anything that interests you. When you’re ready to purchase your items and your offers are in your cartwheel, you can either print your Cartwheel barcode from your desktop at home and bring it with you to the store, or you can pull up your Cartwheel your mobile device.
To print your barcode, just go to www.cartwheel.target.com and login, then click on “Checkout” on the left, and then select ‘Print my Barcode’ at the top of the screen. This barcode is always the same, no matter what you add or remove from your list. So you could always laminate your barcode to be able to use it again and again at checkout.
To check out with Cartwheel with your mobile device, just open up the Target app and tap on the wallet icon to bring up the barcode for your cashier to scan.
Here are a few more points to keep in mind when using Cartwheel offers…
- The Cartwheel discount is taken AFTER Target Coupons and BEFORE manufacturer coupons.
- An IDENTICAL Offer can be applied a maximum of FOUR times in a single Transaction.
- You can save on your entire Cartwheel list up to 6 times per day.
- If you would like to make sure an item qualifies for a cartwheel offer before you buy it, you can use the barcode feature in the app. Just tap on the barcode icon at the top of the main menu and scan your item. If there is a matching offer, it will come up and automatically be added to your list.
Woohoo! Here’s some great news for you! If you haven’t heard- Target has now made online Price Matching a permanent thing. 🙂 They are accepting price matches with Target.com, Amazon.com, Walmart.com, BestBuy.com, ToysRUs.com, and BabiesRUs.com. This also applies to previous purchases at Target within 7 days. If you find a lower online price at any of the above retailers within 7 days of your receipt, you will be refunded the difference.
This year, Target is offering customers several ways to shop and save money including in-store, online and with a mobile device. You can take advantage of their newly upgraded low price promise, shop for top toys with FREE shipping, get advance notice on Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals and more.
ONLINE PRICE MATCH: There’s been a couple of temporary improvements to Target’s Price Matching policy that have some nice perks. For starters- from now thru December 16th, Target will price match its online competitors, including Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Bestbuy.com, Toysrus.com and babiesrus.com. Customers will only need to show the online price for the item using their smartphone or ask customer service to look it up. Typical rules will apply (no B1G1, no % Off etc) and you should be able to price match within 7 days of your purchase. Also remember that manufacturer coupons can be used on items you are looking to price match, but Target coupons cannot be used.
HOLIDAY PRICE MATCH: Although online prices won’t be honored past 7 days of your receipt- there is also Holiday Price Match. This special holiday policy allows anything you buy in-store at Target now to be price-adjusted all the way up until December 24th. (excludes online price matches and Black Friday ads). You may have even noticed this advertised on page 11 of this week’s (10/28) Target ad.
FREE Wi-Fi AT TARGET: One of the ways the online price matching can get easier for those of you with poor phone reception in Target is FREE Wi-Fi now available at many stores. To connect to Target’s FREE Wi-Fi service, just check your phone’s settings for Wi-Fi. Your phone may be different, but for me, Wi-Fi has to be turned ON and then I select “Ask to Join Network”. Target will then prompt with a screen asking you to “Agree to Terms” before connecting you (scroll down to see “CONNECT” button.
FREE SHIPPING ON ALL TOP TOYS: Target is featuring 20 top toys this year that all ship FREE regardless of whether you have a REDcard or not. Aside from FREE shipping when ordering on Target.com, you can also check out these toys in the store. Just look for the signs that say “Top Toy and on each one there will be a QR code that can be scanned with the Target App on your mobile device. This way you can purchase the toy directly with the app and ship it for free to anyone, anywhere in the U.S. This is also convenient for those of you who find yourselves having to shop with your children most of the time. You will be able to shop for a gift without them even knowing you’ve done it. 🙂
BLACK FRIDAY ALERTS: You can also sign up to receive Special Text Alerts from Target for Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals, plus exclusive offers and weekly ad reminders all year long. Just text the word “DEALS” to 827438 (TARGET) or 
USUALLY we see the book put out in stores, and the ads for the weeks of 10/28 & 11/4 stated to look for these books in store. However, this year, according to a comment left on the Target Facebook Page, they will not be offeing this book in stores. But if you did not get the Target 2012 Toy Coupon Book in your 11-4 Newspaper or by mail- you can ask the cashier at checkout. Each cashier should have a scan sheet in order to apply the coupon to your purchase. This is what I have heard will happen this year since it looks like the toy books will notbe put out in stores this year. For more information on the coupons available this year- 
Watching the news last night I was pleasantly surprised to hear some pretty cool Target news! They announced that for the first time, they will match prices with select online competitors between Nov. 1st and Dec. 16th. Customers will only need to show the online price for the item using their smartphone or ask customer service to look it up. These online retailers include Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Bestbuy.com, Toysrus.com and babiesrus.com. Sounds very cool to me!
