First off, let me just start with this: couponing at Target is awesome! Target allows triple and sometimes quadruplet stacking!! Making for some awesome deals to be had!
Here are some important links:
Target has their own coupons which can be found in numerous places:
- Newspaper inserts
- Target releases coupon books which can be found at the customer service desk. Not all stores have these though, if you don’t see them sitting out, ask an employee about the booklet.
- Target coupons can be printed from theirĀ website.
- They allow 2 prints PER device. No photocopying! Coupons don’t last long on the website so if you see one you like print right away!!
- More information on Target printable coupons availableĀ here.
- Text coupons!!! Text OFFERS to 827438. Text BABY for baby related coupons.
- OCCASIONALLY, Target coupons can be found from various coupon websites such as:Ā www.coupons.comĀ & www.redplum.com AND as hanging/peelie coupons on products IN store.
Target offers 2 types of coupons: regular coupons such as, $2/1 Glade product and THEN they offer THRESHOLD coupons, such as $10/40 purchase of Household products or a $10/30 purchase of Pet products.
- In the event that there is a threshold coupon available, Target allows the stacking of Target coupons. This is the quadruple stacking I was referring to in the beginning of the post. For example, let’s say there is a threshold coupon available for $10/40 purchase of Household products. I choose to purchase (4) Glade aerosols at $2.99, (4) Glade jar candles at $2.99, (4) Glade wax melts at $2.99 and (1) Airwick Scented oil 2 pack at $4.89 bringing my total to $40.77. The threshold coupon amount must be met BEFORE taxes. Other coupons have NO effect on it, however just be sure to have your cashier scan your threshold coupon FIRST. Then say you have (4) $2/3 Glade products Target coupons, you CAN use these!!
CARTWHEEL APP
- Offers a percentage off of a wide variety of products.
- It requires you to make an account, then you are able to see cartwheel offers.
- More information locatedĀ here.
Some terms to understand:
- STACKING: using a Target coupon and Manufacturer coupon.
- TRIPLE STACKING: using a Target coupon, a Cartwheel offer and a Manufacturer coupon. Amazing right!?
- QUADRUPLE STACKING: using a Target threshold coupon, Target coupon, a Cartwheel offer, and a Manufacturer coupon!!!
GIFT CARD Deals
- Variety of $5, $10, $20+ gift cards offered when purchasing 2+ select items.
- Gift cards can NOT be used on items in the same transaction. They CAN however be rolled into another transaction.
- When using coupons with a gift card promotion, the value of the coupon WILL be automatically adjusted down by the computer if it brings the subtotal lower than the gift card amount (hence no longer allowing moneymaker deals with gift card deals)
- There’s RUMOR that there’s a way to bypass this. Scan product, coupon, product, coupon, etc, etc and it supposedly doesn’t adjust the coupon down.
- Current Target Gift Card Promotions found here
Target REDcard
- Linked to your checking account as a debit card or apply for a credit card.
- Provides an additional 5% off of purchases online and in-store.

Now, after everything you’ve read here, you’re probably wondering, how much better can it get?.. Well, ladies and gents, it does!!
Here’s the breakdown of how coupons are applied to your transaction:
- Target threshold coupons
- Target coupons including mobile coupons
- Cartwheel offers
- Manufacturer coupons

If using a threshold coupon, this MUST be scanned FIRST so you meet the threshold amount to be purchased.
Otherwise, no matter which order your coupons are scanned, they will come off in the order listed above.
Now, wait for it…….
Target threshold coupons, Target coupons, Cartwheel offers, and REDcard savings REDUCE the taxable amount in your purchase!!
Yes, you read that correctly!!
Target REDcard savings is based on the subtotal amount of your transaction!
