[22]
shop or behind you in line or online if
[25]
you're shopping on target com I was
[27]
gonna wear a red shirt today but I
[28]
figured that targets probably not gonna
[30]

[53]
not to buy at Walmart right now all
[55]
available on Matt's daily deals.com so
[57]
when we're shopping at Target you may
[59]
have your own schedule but saving secret
[61]
number one is know that target follows
[63]
one of the most rigid markdown schedules
[66]
of any retailer it's not like someone
[68]
just goes through the aisle deciding
[70]
what they're going to markdown or Target
[72]
takes a look at what hasn't sold online
[73]
they follow a very regimented clearance
[76]
schedule and it's as follows
[77]
on Mondays target marks down their
[79]
electronics accessories kid clothing
[81]
books baby items and stationery Tuesday
[85]
they marked down any of the domestics
[87]
women clothing pet products as well as
[89]
food items throughout the store and then
[92]
on Wednesday well it's all about home
[94]
furnishings clothing health beauty
[98]
products and diapers are marked down
[101]
separately keep in mind the baby items
[103]
as a whole or on Monday but the diapers
[106]
are dropped in price on Wednesday that
[109]
leads to some confusion Thursdays we
[112]
generally see markdowns on lingerie
[114]
Sporting Goods luggage deals or on
[116]
Thursday as well and Friday the best
[119]
clearance deals are generally auto
[121]
Hardware and jewelry that means if you
[124]
are shopping on the weekend you're not
[126]
actually picking a great data shop
[128]
you're getting the leftovers from all of
[130]
those respective days so for example if
[132]
the electronics are marked down
[133]
Monday and you're shopping on the
[135]
weekend you're getting the worst of the
[137]
leftover from that category before
[139]
target returns to add more items to its
[143]
new clearance set of deals on the Monday
[144]
Sunday would probably be the worst day
[146]
of the week for that respective category
[147]
so keep that in mind work with that
[149]
calendar savings the secret number two
[151]
is I'm going to show you the most
[152]
important number on the tag and it's the
[154]
number in the top right hand corner not
[156]
the price why is this so important well
[158]
if you look at all of the things that
[159]
people have circled this number
[161]
represents the markdown of the specific
[164]
product that you're looking at this tag
[166]
right here that has a 50 is letting you
[167]
know that your item has been marked down
[169]
by 50%
[170]
this one is letting you know that your
[171]
product has been marked down by 70% and
[174]
you may say well who cares why does that
[178]
matter I don't need to do math it's a
[180]
markdown and the advice I'm dispensing
[182]
is many of the items are supposed to be
[185]
reduced to a specific price but there
[187]
are many arithmetic errors target may
[190]
intend to mark an item down by 70% and
[193]
based on that price that you see in the
[195]
top right hand corner of your tag that's
[196]
supposed to be a 70% markdown but if you
[199]
look at the before and the after price
[200]
they don't always correlate target's not
[202]
trying to deceive you they're not trying
[204]
to do anything wrong there's just a lot
[206]
of mathematical errors that are passed
[208]
along to the consumers sometimes the
[210]
list price is wrong from the
[211]
manufacturer that MSRP but regardless
[214]
watch out for that number on the top
[216]
right hand corner of the tag those are
[218]
the ones that you need to pay attention
[220]
to the next trick I'm going to show you
[223]
is saving secret number three and this
[225]
is about a numbers game of a different
[227]
type just because everything on
[228]
clearance or markdown has a specific
[231]
reduction how do you know if you're
[232]
actually getting the lowest best price
[234]
that target has to offer let's take a
[237]
look at their web pricing just as an
[238]
example generally any item that ends in
[241]
zero zero is full price so if you see a
[244]
product that ends in zero zero or ninety
[248]
nine you are generally paying full price
[250]
for the product now you might say to
[252]
yourself well that doesn't make sense
[253]
when I go online and I shop I see plenty
[255]
of items that show up as $19.99 or
[258]
and in a zero and they are on sale what
[261]
I'm trying to tell you is yeah they're
[263]
reduced but they're not clearance deals
[265]
so keep in mind that if you are trying
[268]
to shop clearance there's a whole deal
[269]
section which can still have you paying
[271]
full price at Target it's not solely the
[274]
deals we want its the clearance section
[276]
and those clearance deals that we need
[278]
to know about so here's where the rest
[279]
of the numbers come into play prices
[282]
that end in eight eight nine eight four
[284]
eight two four or four are all clearance
[288]
items items that end in four nine and
[291]
four four are generally final clearance
[295]
products so if you see something like a
[297]
four nine or a four four those are
[299]
generally clearance products you're
[301]
going to find many different target
[303]
blogs and target vlogs and target
[305]
YouTube videos that give you slightly
[308]
different information and I've tried to
[309]
figure out how is this possible is this
[311]
information outdated are different
[312]
communities seeing different reductions
[314]
I spoke into some different target
[316]
employees I've telephone different
[317]
stores and the answer is that this is an
[319]
updated set of numbers that I'm in
[321]
parting with you right now it can change
[323]
but based on everything that happened
[324]
and the communities over the course of
[326]
the last couple of months a lot of those
[328]
pricing structures that we see are being
[330]
adjusted people are now generally always
[332]
looking for a deal and always looking
[334]
for a sale so things are going to be
[335]
permanently reduced but not always on
[337]
clearance so that's what you need to
[338]
know when it comes to those markdowns
[340]
also keep in mind and this is
[341]
information that I just received from
[343]
former employee the best clearance deals
[346]
are in the electronics toy clothing
[348]
shoes and home goods sections for this
[351]
upcoming season so that's where you're
[352]
going to find some great deals as you're
[354]
saving secret number for saving secret
[357]
number five beyond the refurbished and
[360]
the used and the clearance there's
[362]
something else that target marks down
[365]
regularly in their stores and it's
[367]
called a repackaged deal so I've just
[369]
again tried to pull up some repackaged
[371]
items I haven't purchased one recently
[372]
but you look this is an example of a
[374]
repackaged tag this says repackaged
[377]
right here and these are all deals that
[379]
are generally exclusive to a specific
[381]
store and some of the best reductions
[383]
you will see in that specific place how
[386]
do these exist why do these exist
[388]
sometimes items are dented
[391]
they're being moved within the store
[393]
itself and sometimes there's been an
[395]
issue in the distribution with the truck
[397]
sometimes packages are removed in bad
[398]
weather something stains or smears with
[400]
rain there spills there's things that
[403]
get marked up significantly while the
[405]
item inside is in no way affected so
[407]
target will repackage a lot of these
[409]
items or sometimes adjust the packaging
[412]
I've actually seen tape used in a couple
[414]
of occasions of all some type of glue
[416]
but for a lot of the deals you're going
[418]
to find it is well worth it so look for
[420]
that yellow or sometimes red repackage
[422]
tag is saving secret number five saving
[425]
secret number six and I'll go more in
[427]
depth tied to this when the holidays
[430]
approach target follows a completely
[433]
different discount schedule after
[436]
Christmas and the holidays so in the
[438]
days that follow Christmas rather than
[440]
marking down specific items from
[441]
specific categories like we saw in that
[443]
days of the week tip that I was giving
[445]
you earlier on target simply takes a
[447]
full percentage off each day so the day
[449]
after Christmas our markdowns begin at
[452]
50% then all of the categories that are
[454]
being reduced see a 75% collective
[457]
reduction and it goes all the way from
[460]
75% generally to 90% by day three and
[464]
day five what does that matter to you
[466]
well if you see something that has the
[468]
90 percent markdown on it that's
[469]
generally the lowest a product will ever
[472]
be sold for at Target so that is savings
[474]
secret number six savings secret number
[477]
seven is don't worry about getting a
[479]
circular everything you can find is on
[481]
line complete with coupons if you go to
[483]
a specific URL which I'll be happy to
[485]
share with you on my website if I'm
[486]
moving too quickly for you you're not
[488]
only going to find all of the weekly ads
[489]
there but target will also include
[491]
coupons so if you don't want to do the
[494]
coupon clip you can add these on to your
[496]
cell phone screen or your smartphone
[497]
screen you can do a quick screen grab
[499]
and target will accept the coupons keep
[502]
in mind that when you are searching
[503]
through a catalog the reductions and the
[505]
sales are good but every once in a while
[507]
if you look very carefully you're going
[508]
to find actual coupons that have a
[511]
barcode so you have two ways to
[513]
implement this you can actually find
[515]
this in the target app and apply it to
[517]
your smartphone or you can take a screen
[519]
grab target will accept manufacturer
[521]
coupons and in some cases they will
[523]
accept coupons from
[525]
predators savings secret number eight
[528]
don't feel overly pressured to get the
[532]
target red card yes you're gonna save 5%
[534]
more every day and so online but if you
[536]
look there are restrictions not every
[539]
product gets the discount and with how
[541]
many products are reduced you're often
[544]
going to find Walmart or Amazon going
[548]
within 5% of that deal or final sale
[550]
item that you see at Target so appeal to
[554]
the customer service department for a
[555]
price match often you're going to find
[558]
if that price is cheaper at Walmart but
[560]
you simply prefer to give target the
[561]
business they will reduce it 5% more and
[564]
you don't need to worry about a credit
[566]
card application if that's not something
[568]
you can do right now
[569]
savings secret number nine you can get a
[572]
raincheck on awesome deals that have
[575]
sold out in a specific store this
[577]
doesn't always work for Black Friday or
[579]
Cyber Monday but we'll look at those as
[580]
isolated times let's say there's an
[582]
amazing holiday deal on the Nintendo
[586]
switch and you're so excited you've
[588]
waited you go this is where you're gonna
[589]
spend your money and then you find out
[590]
that specific product is not available
[592]
in the store but that huge Nintendo
[595]
switch sale of 30% to offer whatever it
[598]
is and the next day well here's the good
[602]
thing almost every Target store I spoke
[605]
to will honor its deal beyond the
[607]
deadline for rain check items which
[610]
means if the product is not available in
[612]
the store they will still give it to you
[614]
as soon as in stock and available at
[616]
that deal price that's great for non
[618]
Black Friday and Cyber Monday exclusive
[620]
TV discounts and gaming and all sorts of
[623]
deals that you may not be able to pass
[625]
up right now especially if times are
[626]
tough as they are for all of us I'm
[628]
assuming in some way get that rain check
[631]
and don't feel pressured to be at that
[633]
exact store nor should you worry about
[634]
driving all over the city to find
[636]
another target that has that specific
[638]
product in stock and finally saving
[641]
secret number 10 you can save yourself a
[644]
whole lot of time browsing and searching
[647]
for deals on target.com if you simply
[650]
know what word to enter to get the
[652]
discount started type in the word
[654]
clearance to the search bar at the top
[656]
of target calm and
[658]
immediately launches at every single
[660]
deal for its respective category of
[663]
clearance so rather than just going to
[665]
the clearance section at the top of the
[667]
page rather than just looking through
[669]
the home section and hoping to find
[670]
something on sale you never need to pay
[672]
full price shoes as an example one of my
[674]
least favorite categories in life you
[676]
just simply go to the shoe section all
[678]
of a sudden everything there is already
[680]
on sale if you are looking to find home
[683]
clearance section products as an example
[685]
not only do you get a whole home section
[687]
on clearance but you can further narrow
[689]
it down
[690]
for example bedding which a lot of
[692]
people are buying right now everything
[694]
here would be at its lowest price
[695]
including these pillowcase sets for as
[698]
low as three dollars and forty nine
[700]
cents you do not need to spend all of
[702]
your precious time going through
[703]
circulars and ads and trying to find the
[707]
best price if you are shopping on
[709]
target.com with that quick trick so I
[711]
hope all of these tricks added up save
[713]
you a lot of money I hope your money
[714]
stays where it belongs and that's in
[716]
your pocket and if there are other
[718]
stores where you're looking for saving
[719]

[721]
bit less obvious but might help gear you
