It may seem counter-intuitive to spend extra money when shopping. But certain stores offer gift cards for buying a certain number of products. For instance, if you buy a double pack of toothpaste, it may be on sale for $4.99 each. But if you buy three packs, you are offered a free $5 gift card. Or if you purchase a bottle of detergent, it may be $11.99 each. But if you buy three bottles, you can get a $10 gift card. So it's almost like getting one free.
Target offers these kinds of promotions on varying products. It would be crazy to buy products you never use. But if it's something you use all the time, why not stock up and have the money to spend on your next trip.
I've said it before, but I feel I need to say it again...Don't be afraid to ASK if you're not sure about a price. It may not seem important to you and some people don't like to bother, but if there's an item you really want, it may become something worth trying.
I was looking in a clearance section of the store the other day, and I found a pair of yoga pants there. It was marked the original $36 with no discount tag. So I first thought they must be in the wrong section.
But I tried them on and they fit perfectly. So I wanted to at least ask about the price. It turned out they were in the right section and were 90% off. So they were a whopping $3.60!
Can't beat that! It's worth the effort to go to a price checker machine, the customer service desk or even the main checkout to find out what the current price of something is. If you don't ask, someone else will.
