If you know me at all, I shop for what I need when I need it. I'm not a "garage saler", nor am I a "couponer". I typically do not think about saving money until it's too late, and I just NEED the product. My goal for the spring/summer is to start being a savvy shopper!
Today I made progress towards my goal. I downloaded the Target app yesterday and noticed that it lists the sales/clearances for the week. I went through and "clipped" all the products that we typically use/eat. Today, Tony and I went shopping! My mom and brother took the little one to make it a little easier. We filled a shopping cart FULL of things we use on a regular basis or groceries we needed.
As we were checking out, I noticed the sign for the Target Red Card. You save 5% every time you shop using it. Well...I am a frequent Target shopper, so I was intrigued. Come to find out they have a Debit Red Card now. The money comes directly from our checking account. No need to worry about credit interest rates...SO, we enrolled.
To sum up our shopping experience:
Received $10 in gift cards for certain purchases made
Saved $8.09 from using the Red Card
Saved $34.23 from shopping sale/clearance priced items
TOTAL SAVINGS on products we needed to begin with: $52.32!!!
Next stop: Hy Vee and Fareway advertisements and Stewartville City Wide Garage Sale Weekend!
I also love the free shipping from target.com with your red card!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a good Garage Sale time. It's hit or miss. But when you hit, it's a jackpot! It's addictive. Maya and I will head out on the bike today to check out what St.Peter has.
ReplyDeleteThe nice thing about the Target Red Card is that you save 5% right off the bat. You don't have to build it up to a certain level before you can cash it in!
