Target Shopping List 4/11 – 4/17/10

Target’s weekly deals are hot this week, if you want to take advantage of their gift card promotions. Remember that you can buy products that generate a gift card, then go back into the store and either buy another set of those same products (if you have enough coupons and need them) or other items that will kick out a gift card. This is a way to lower what you spend out of pocket while you work to save money.

You’ll find all the on-going Target deals (and there are a ton of them) that have been mentioned in previous weeks on their own shopping list. It keeps things here from getting too cluttered up.

New to coupons at Target? You may want to take Target’s price matching policy and Target’s coupon policy with you to the store in case your cashier needs to see it for themselves. Check out the Target online coupons, sign up for Target coupons delivered to your mobile device and browse Target’s weekly ad online.
