- – Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why are the prices at my Target different from those listed on your site?

A: Target’s sale prices are typically nationwide with a few exclusions, like soda Regular prices vary regionally and sometimes even from store-to-store within the same area. Generally prices are reasonably close, but some may vary greatly.

Q: Target refused to accept my Internet coupon. Why?

A: Target’s nationwide coupon policy states that they do accept Internet coupons. If you have trouble with your local Target, contact headquarters or print their online coupon policy (available online) to show in-store during purchases.

Target may still refuse Intert coupons if they do not scan. If this becomes a problem, try printing your coupons in normal or best quality, instead of draft.

Q: Does Target offer rain checks? How do they work?

A: Target will issue rain checks on out-of-stock items, except gift card promotions. You can receive your rain check at customers service. Target rain checks expire 45 days after issue and are good on the item stated, unless otherwise noted.

Some rain checks are good on substitute items if you see the text “choose a substitute” at the bottom. With substitute item rain checks, you can select a similar, regular-priced item and get the same percent discount.

Sometimes, when an item is sold out, associates may place a tearpad or rain check notice where the item was on the shelf. Make sure to tear this tearpad slip off and take it to customer service to get your rain check. The tearpad slip is not a rain check!

Q: When does Target mark down products?

A: Target has a national markdown schedule. Watch the end caps of aisles for marked down, clearance, and discounted items. Mark downs take place every two weeks and items will continue to be marked down every two weeks until sold or reaches 75%. Target rarely marks non-holiday items lower than 75%.

Below is the full markdown schedule:

Monday: Electronics, Kids Clothing, & Stationary
Tuesday: Domestics, Women’s Clothing, Pets, & Grocery
Wednesday: Men’s Clothing, Toys, Health & Beauty, Lawn & Garden
Thursday: Housewares, Lingerie, Shoes, Sporting Goods, Movies, Music, Books, Decor, & Luggage

Friday: Auto, Cosmetics, Hardware, & Jewelry

Holiday are as follows (Christmas markdowns vary):

Post Holiday Day 1-3: 50%
Post Holiday Day 4-6: 75%

Post Holiday Day 7-8: 90%

Q: What if I find a damaged product in Target? Can I get a discount on it?

A: Cashiers are authorized to mark down items 10% if damage is obvious.

And don’t forget you can use these Target coupons at Publix too!
They stack nicely with man Q’s. So do the Whole Foods ones! That’s how I bought 16 boxes of Cascadian Farms Granola last week there for .50 cents each!

I just started on your website, but am having trouble finding the Target store coupons listed here. Do they limit the total number of prints or limit them by region?

Anne, can you give me an example? Target coupons change randomly. There’s really no rhyme or reason. One might be up there for 1 day, another for 30 days. So, it’s possible the coupon you are peaking at is gone. Also, some are in your insert, while others are on the Target page. They’re also on different pages for everyone, so I can’t really tell you which page they’re on. They move, oddly enough, and mix up. But, if you give me a few examples, maybe I can help you out!

Sure! I did notice that all the ones I was having trouble finding were from the “ongoing deals” page rather than the weekly deals, so they are probably just gone. But here are two examples:
$1/1 Band-Aid Bandages Target printable
$1/1 Crest Kid’s Toothpaste Target printable

But I had no idea that Target had printable store coupons from their website so that is great knowledge to have! :)
