Target: Price Matching and Coupons

Price matching is a great way to save money at Walmart and Target!  Both these big box stores will match local competitor advertised prices.  Familiarize yourself with the policy so you will understand all the details!  By being able to price match your local competitor stores' ads and using coupons, you can save even more at these discount retailers.

Below is information on price matching at Target per their policy published on their corporate website.

Can I use coupons when price matching?

A guest can use coupons when price matching per Target's normal coupon policy. When the guests presents a coupon(s), these steps will be followed:

Manufacturer Coupons:
Manufacturer coupons will be applied after the price match is made.

Target Coupons:
Target coupons will be applied before the price match is made. If the competitor price is still lower than the price after the Target coupon has been deducted, the ad match can be adjusted to match the competitor's price.

Combining both a Target and Manufacturer Coupons:
The Target coupon will be applied before the price match is made. If the competitor price is still lower than the price after the Target coupon has been deducted, the ad match can be adjusted to match the competitor's price. Once the price match is made the manufacturer coupon will be applied.

Reminder: We accept one manufacturer coupon and one Target coupon for the same item unless either coupon prohibits it.

Target does not ad match a competitors coupon-required offers.

What do you mean by local retail competitors?

This refers to retail stores located within the same market area as a particular Target store. Examples of a market area can be a city, a metropolitan area or a specific rural region.

How does price matching work?

If you find an item in a competitor's printed ad that is priced lower than it is at your Target store, we will match the price. The competitor's ad must be local and current, and the product must be the identical item, brand name, quantity and model number. Target.com is excluded from our price matching policy. Competitor catalogs can also be ad matched as long as the catalog displays a valid date and meets all other qualifications.

What if I've already made the purchase at Target?

No problem. Within seven days of purchase, bring your Target receipt and the competitor 's current printed ad. We will reimburse the savings to you.

What qualifies as proof of a competitor's advertisement?

Please show us the entire printed advertisement. Photos, photocopies, or mobile phone versions of the ad cannot be accepted as verification of competitive pricing.

What does 'identical store item' mean?

The program covers items with the identical brand name, size, weight, quantity and model number of the item at Target stores. We reserve the right to verify a competitor's advertised price and the availability of the product.

What about online price matching?

All online pricing, including Target.com, is excluded from our price matching policy, as well as online retail promotions or products advertised on another company's web or mobile sites.

Other price matching exclusions include:

• Online prices, including Target.com
• Promotions or products advertised on another company's web or mobile sites, even those advertising in-store prices.
• Timed events (e.g., early bird, door busters)
• Items advertised as limited time/limited supply/limited quantity
• Membership club or loyalty programs (e.g. prices that require a club or loyalty card)
• Coupon-required or giftcard offers
• Prices advertised only as a percent off or $ off
• Competitor's free product, buy one, get one, bundled offers, or special purchases
• Mobile coupons
• Sales tax promotions
• Damaged product or opened packaging
• Clearance or closeout items
• Mail in offers or instant rebates
• Product services (warranties, assembly, etc.)
• Going-out-of-business liquidations
• Special financing
• Used or previously owned items
• Display merchandise
• Pricing or typographical errors
• Owned brands (i.e., Home, Merona, Circo, Market Pantry and Archer Farms)
• Non-branded items (e.g. produce not marketed under a specific brand name)

• Expired Ads

Target 6.11.12

Here is a snapshot of my Target deals from June 11.

Target ~ Paid $15.68 ~ Saved $31.64 ~ 25 items at avg of $0.63 each! 

I did get my 10-cent discount for bringing my own 2 bags.

I'm a little annoyed with Target right now. I should have paid closer attention, but I was distracted. 
I should have only paid about $10.70 but my $2/1 Target Mobile Coupon did not appear on my receipt even though the register seemed to accept it when the cashier scanned it. Also, 2 of the Lunchables rang up at the wrong price and I am pretty sure the children's toothpaste rang up about 50-cents higher than marked on the shelf! And I had to remind the cashier twice to scan the bag discount.

I am going to Target today with a friend of mine so I hope to straighten this out. I hate overpaying for anything! Have you ever had Target issues like this?

Elly Pasour, one of my dear couponing friends asked how I got this deal and I promised to share the coupon matchups so she could try to get some of these same items.  Below are the details!
