My Shopping Trip: Target

The links in the post below may be affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

After dropping off Bogo to get his haircut, I ran into Target to try out the Q-tips deal I posted earlier. 

You know, I have a love/hate relationship with Target.  It’s mostly love but their registers drive me crazy.  Fortunately, when I did this deal, the gift card was triggered right away so I didn’t have to deal with that.   This time I had one coupon that didn’t come off all the way so it looks like I should have had more items in my cart to cover the difference of the gift card credit.  If you remember, when you have a gift card deal the register appears to deduct the $5 Gift Card on the reciept although they don’t actually take off the $5.  It becomes an imaginary credit. My total was going to fall below that imaginary credit (not including tax), so my last coupon only took off $0.04.  Had I had more in my cart to cover the difference, I would have had the whole $0.60 come off.

You confused yet?  I know I always am reading Target receipts 🙂

Here is how my transaction went:

4 Gold Peak Tea $1.02
4 Q-tips 375 ct $2.69
-(4)$1/1 Gold Peak Tea (I’m not sure if this is still available)
-(4)$1/1 Q-tips Target Coupon
-(4)$0.60/1 Q-tips manufacturer coupon
Total should have been: $4.44 but the last coupon deducted $0.04 to make it $5
Tax: $0.41
Total came to $5.41
Received a $5 Target Gift Card

Final Price for all was $0.41 which was tax.  Pretty sweet as I need Q-tips!
