Six ways to save at Target every time you shop – from deal days to no-tax weekends

TARGET offers an incredible amount of deals.

While some shoppers don't mind an afternoon spent browsing, other experts have shared their top tips for saving without wasting too much time.

The advice comes from shopping experts at The Real Deal and consumer reviews alike.

And their tips are timely.

Big box stores have more distractions than ever before.

Some Target locations even come with Starbucks, Apple demos, and nail salons.

With a little strategy, you can locate what you need, for the price you're after, within the time available to you.

Below are six tips The Sun has rounded out.

1. Deal days

Try to visit on deal days.

According to The Real Deal, they usually coincide with Amazon Prime Day.

Last year’s deal days happened in June and October.

On these days, shoppers can save up to 50% on electronics, clothing, and home decor.

2. No-tax weekends

Most states offer tax-free shopping weekends to boost sales.

The timing varies by state, but several hold these weekends over the summer.

Back-to-school is an especially popular time.

The Real Deal has a guide on when your state's tax-free weekend will take place. 

3. Use the raincheck policy

Through Target's raincheck policy, shoppers can get today's sale price for the next 30-45 days.

The exact time window varies by state.

While the price will be available for roughly a month, the company website says they, "can't guarantee product availability or hold merchandise."

4. Check prices as you shop

No doubt bargain hunters already do this, but Amazon's PriceCheck app helps you figure out whether you're getting the best deal.

According to CNET: "Amazon's free price-checking app lets you look up almost any item to compare the store's price with that of other retailers."

There are multiple ways shoppers can price check.

They can:

• Scan the product's barcode
• Snap a picture of it
• Speak the products name "Siri" style
• Type in the name

Once shoppers have taken one of these steps, the app shows prices from both online and offline retailers.

5. Know the store hot spots

Reddit user DealerMcDiscount says you can find the best items in three places at every store.

The three hot spots are:

• Displays at the end of each aisle (sometimes called end caps)
• Checkout areas
• Back walls

6. Don't forget to price match

According to Target's price match guarantee, they will match the price if you buy a qualifying item at Target and then find the identical item for less at:

• Target.com
• Select online competitors
• In Target’s or competitor’s local print ad

Price matches may be requested the at time of purchase or within 14 days after purchase. 

The full list of online competitors is available online.
