This sale came at the perfect time. My dogs need food. I applied and got a Target Red card specifically so I can get 5% off my entire purchase. The bill will get paid off as soon as the amount posts. So, I don't care what the APR is. Cost breakdown below is before taxes.
Here's what I got:
Oscar Mayer Protein Packs reg $1.89 = $0.18 each used 50% off cartwheel plus $0.75 printable MQ, plus red card 5%.
Pedigree wet dog food $0.72 each = $0.51 each used B2G1 printable Q plus red card 5% savings
Pedigree dry dog food $11.99 each = $10.44 each. used $1/1 printable Q plus red card savings
Pedigree dog treats $3.39 each = $0.84 each. $2/1 target sale wyb 1 dog food per ad. plus $1/2 printable MQ plus red card savings
Up and Up diapers newborn packs $6.99 each = $1.79 each
Up and up diapers size 3 box $26.99 = $19.94
I used $15 off $40 of up and up product (target mobile or q in ad) plus 5% off cartwheel plus 5% off using red card. If I split the value between the 3 items, it was like getting $5 off each one.
Wheat bread $2.45 = $2.24 used cartwheel savings plus red card savings.
I also brought my own bags and got bag credits. $0.05 per bag.
Total before coupons, cartwheel and red card savings (tax included) $216.91
My out of pocket total = $145.32
That is a 33% savings.
I am now stocked up on dog food for the 2 rottweilers and our lhasa apso. They have enough treats to last them 2 months at least and I now have more diapers to add to our stock that we got at $0.14 a diaper. I picked up 2 newborn packs to put in my donation for giveaways at the Healthy and Hapai event next week saturday.
The pedigree wet food was cheaper than the current sale at longs for 99 cents a can.
As long as you use credit wisely (pay off before month end), it works to your benefit. If you use it with no intent to pay it off in 30 days, I don't recommend it. Because the savings won't mean anything if you carry a balance on the card.
With sales like this for things I need, Target could quickly become my favorite store to shop at. It's out of the way for me to shop there so the savings have to be hot for me to make the drive out.
