How to Use Coupons at Target
Ever wonder where the Bullseye came from? In 1960, The Dayton Company wanted to introduce a “mass market discount store that caters to value oriented shoppers seeking a higher quality experience”. The, now famous, Bullseye logo was chosen because “as a marksmen’s goal is to hit the center bullseye, the new store would do much the same in terms of retail goods, services, commitment to the community, price, value and overall experience”.

4. Additional Ways to Save
Besides coupons and digital coupons, there are also rebate apps that can save you even more. Here are some of the apps available for Target:
Cartwheel by Target – Cartwheel is an app for your smartphone that allows you to add offers from hundreds of available products. Either present your smartphone with the Cartwheel barcode or your printed Cartwheel at checkout. Cartwheel deals even work when you stack them on top of coupons, sales and your REDcard discount.
Ibotta eCoupons – Ibotta is an app for your smartphone. You earn money by taking a quick poll, watch a short video or even just looking at a recipe. Each action will earn you more money once you purchase that item. Purchase the product as you normally would. Using coupons will not have any effect on your ibotta offers. If you like, you can even scan the products barcode through the Ibotta app to be sure you are purchasing the correct product. Once you have made your purchase, you simply take a photo of your receipt through the app. The amount of the coupon will be deposited into your Ibotta account.

Snap By Groupon is probably my favorite rebate app. The selections of products are great and you can purchase them at any store. Also, you can do the rebate multiple times which is a great feature for stocking up on products.
