It’s my go-to for clothing (please don’t judge my tastes), and I’m a fan of Market Pantry groceries and up & up personal care items.
Target’s prices are already reasonable, and the store frequently offers sales and coupons that a savvy saver can combine for extra value.
…If she knows where to look.
However, hunting down deals for the popular retailer can eat up time, at best. And be downright irritating, at worst.
That’s why deal aggregators are so handy. For Target bargains, one of the standout resources isTotally Target.
The independent site collects Target coupons, promotions, deals and money-saving tips to help you get “more Red for less green.”
Below are nine ways Totally Target helps you cut costs at Target.
1. Massive Coupon Repository
Rather than spending hours clipping and hunting coupons yourself, let Totally Target do the legwork.
Before you head out, search the site’s extensive coupon repository to locate discounts for items on your list.
For instance, a search for “cereal” returned 147 coupons. Narrowing that to “Special K” produced seven results, including printable coupons, online offers and Cartwheel (Circle) discounts.
2. Weekly Ad Options
Totally Target provides four formats for viewing deals from the store’s weekly ad:
- Ad scan: View an image of the same flyer shoppers see in-store.
- Coupon matchups: A list matching advertised sales with applicable coupons.
- Best deals of the week: Hand-picked highlights so you don’t have to comb through the whole ad.
- Blog post deals: Follow the blog’s “Weekly Ad” category for updated picks on top offers.
Pick whichever format suits you best!
3. Unadvertised Target Promotions
Discover many opportunities to earn free Target gift cards on TT’s page of Special Gift Card deals.
Keeping an eye on these offers is a clever way to accumulate significant savings over time.
The page also highlights unadvertised “special purchase” promotions where buying a specific item triggers a freebie.
4. Organized Rebate Listings
We always suggest checking your rebate apps before grocery shopping — Totally Target makes that easier.
The site compiles current rebates and sorts them by app — like Ibotta — and mail-in rebate options.
It even tracks Catalina offers — the coupons printed on receipts for use on future purchases. Totally Target identifies which buys typically trigger those coupons.
5. Price Drops Matched With Coupons
Long-term discounts and clearance markdowns don’t always show up in weekly ads.
You could overlook them unless you have time to comb the whole store for sale tags.
Totally Target maintains a running list of these long-term price cuts, and suggests coupons you can stack on top to save more.
6. More Stackable Offers
Totally Target curates a categorized list of the retailer’s best bargains on a page called “Cheap Finds.”
This is perfect to scan while you’re putting together your shopping list.
Items are organized by category — groceries, household, health & beauty, and more — making it simple to find deals on exactly what you need without wading through an entire ad.
7. Couponing Basics
If couponing seems daunting, Totally Target offers a straightforward beginner’s guide.
Read up on how to find and organize coupons, where to locate Target-specific savings, and common couponing terms. Skimming this guide first helps you decode the deals on the rest of the site.
8. In-Store Finds and Updates
Follow the Totally Target blog or its social channels for alerts about freshly discovered in-store discounts.
These posts are handy reminders of fleeting seasonal sales — like candy bargains after Easter or Valentine’s Day — that can disappear quickly.
9. Active Community
Via blog comments or the Facebook page, you can connect with fellow Target enthusiasts and share deals you stumble upon.
You can also subscribe to Totally Target by RSS or email to receive deal alerts as they’re posted.
