Target Cartwheel……$1000 Sweepstakes!

My love affair with Target goes way back.  I have always

been impressed with Target's well laid out, clean stores

and fabulous products.  You might even find

me at my local Target store multiple times

in one week….

The frequency of my Target visits hit record

highs when I lived in Minnesota.  Target's headquarters

are located in Minneapolis, thus, shopping at Target

was as common as lakes, hot dish, and snow in April!

I recently learned about a great new app called Cartwheel

by Target that is fun and easy to use and makes

savings on EVERYTHING you buy at Target

super easy.  

Now, admittedly, I am not a coupon clipping kind of

gal, however, I am always impressed when I catch

an episode of Extreme Couponing and some thrifty

gal buys lifetime supplies of grocery products and the store

gives HER money back!

When I have clipped coupons in the past, I inevitably

leave them at home or they end up living at the 

bottom of my purse until the coupon has expired.

With Cartwheel by Target you select the savings you want

from over 700 offers {coupons} in your Cartwheel App on your phone.

And even better -if you are a coupon clipping, maximum savings seeker, you can

coupon and discount stack.  This means that you are able to 

add additional savings with other Target discounts or coupons,

manufacturers' coupons or even your Target REDcard discount.

How does it work?

You download the Cartwheel app to your iPhone or Droid.

******

Login using your Facebook login.  Using your Facebook login

allows you to what offers your friends have on their Cartwheel

lists.  However, if you don't want your Cartwheel activity

to post on your Facebook page, you manage your preferences

in the app's privacy settings.  You can also add any offer to 

your list as 'private'.

******

After your account is set-up and ready to go you can 

browse various categories and select the products/offers

that you will be shopping for on your next 

Target visit……or if you are like me,

you discover offers/products that are just 

too good to not include on your shopping list!

When you first begin using Cartwheel you

are allowed 10 offer spots {coupons}.  You 

earn "badges" by reaching savings milestones

or interacting with Cartwheel.  The more "badges"

earned equals more offer spots earned.

Offers for savings are plentiful - just this weekend

my 11 year old daughter panicked on Sunday when

she realized she needed to bring a new pair of 

socks to school on Monday for a service project 

her Catholic school was doing.  Knowing I needed

to go to Target for some other items, I simply pulled

up my Cartwheel app on my phone and searched

"socks" and found that there was an offer for 15% off

all Xhilaration brand socks and tights.  I added that

offer to my Cartwheel and when I checked out I

simply pulled up the barcode on my phone that included

ALL my offers for many of the items I was 

purchasing and the cashier scanned it from my phone

and the savings were deducted from my total.

In addition to the savings on the socks, I saved 10% off 

Yoplait Greek yogurt, 10% off Up & Up sandwich bags,

5% off Kraft shredded cheese and 10% off a 

DiGiorno frozen pizza {just because I didn't feel like cooking}.
