Best Ways to Save at Target
- Join Target Circle: This free loyalty program is essential for saving. You'll get access to exclusive, personalized deals, a birthday discount, and the ability to earn 1% back on most purchases to redeem on a future trip.
- Use the Target App: The Target app is a must-have for savvy shoppers. You can find and "clip" digital coupons and Target Circle offers, browse the weekly ad, and use the store map to locate items and check for clearance prices.
- Use a Target Circle Card (formerly RedCard): This debit or credit card gives you an automatic 5% off most purchases, both in-store and online, every single day. This is one of the most powerful and consistent ways to save at Target.
- Shop the Clearance Racks: Target's clearance sections, often found at the end caps of aisles, are a great place to find items at a significant discount. Look for the red tags, which indicate a markdown.
- Utilize the Price Match Policy: Target will match the price of an identical item if you find it for a lower price on Target.com or in a Target store's weekly ad. This policy also applies to a select list of online competitors and is valid for up to 14 days after your purchase.
