Top five ways to save at Target

Target is one of the largest discount retailers in North America with nearly $73 billion in revenue in 2014.

It's a go-to store for weekly items and with the help of our friends at Ultimatecoupons.com, there are some ways to maximize your savings. Here are the top 5 ways to save at Target:

1) Get Free Gift Cards: Look for items throughout the store with free gift card signs. The weekly flyer for the week of August 17, 2015 lists a free $5 Target Gift Card with the purchase of any ten Capri Sun 10-pack pouches or Kraft Foods 7.25 oz original macaroni and cheese.

2) Price Match Guarantee: If you find an item at a Target store, then find an identical item for less within a week at Target or with a competitor, Target will match the price.

3) Understand The Weekly Markdown Schedule:

Monday: Electronics, accessories, kids clothing, books, baby, and stationery.

Tuesday: Domestics, women's clothing, pets, food items.

Wednesday: Men's clothing, health and beauty, lawn and garden.

Thursday: Housewares, lingerie, shoes, toys, sporting goods, decor, luggage.

Friday: Auto, cosmetics, hardware, jewelry.

4) Shop The End Caps: Shelves that appear at the end of each isle are where most clearance items are found. Price tags ending in $0.06 or $0.08 will be marked down again. Price tags ending in $0.04 are final clearance.

5) Compare in store vs. online prices: Prices online and in-store are not always the same. If it's lower in online, shoppers can ask for a price match.
