This morning on the news the big story was that Target is going to continue price matching online deals from other stores. Cool huh? Well, kinda….
See it is a great news story and good buzz for Target. However, that problem is that most of the employees have no idea that this is the policy, the rules are so restrictive that customers are not going to understand what they can and can’t price match AND Walmart is pretty much still going to beat the price everyday anyway.
Price matching Amazon is great, but that means I have to go to Target, hope they have it, deal with the cashiers and drag my kids around. Otherwise I can order it from my couch and have it in 2 days delivered to my front door.
Overall, if there is some really large expensive item that I find online and can’t wait to get, this *might* work out!

Just as angelic as she looks, this girl could easily raise a Village by herself, and all the children would grow up to be President.
Self proclaimed, she would be a webkinz dog. Because, "they're cute, and puppies are too. And they're sweet and they always get along with other puppies."
This mini-Martha Stewart can handle ANY craft you send her way. She isn't all bows and rainbows, she's got karate kid moves!
Not "Pick-Me-Up" like caffeine, she wants you to pick her up! AND NOW!
Anything that can be destroyed WILL be destroyed!
Practically Perfect in Every Way for now! Nicknamed "The Panda" she is rolly polly and lives by the motto, "the little one, is KING!"
The resident Labradoodle, Miller got his name because Mom won and got to name the baby! Need something chewed up? He'll take care of it. Especially if it's expensive..
I hate price matching at Target, they make u go to customer service and won’t price match cvs, Walgreen, randels, or Kroger because they require a card! It’s such a pain
I totally agree, we’re not asking for the perks that the cards offer..we just want to price match!
Target does not understand Target’s coupon policy. Each time I visit the 1960/Eldridge store? The coupon policy changes. I am purchasing cat food. Can’t tell you how they hassle me. It isn’t worth the effort to coupon shop at that store. Employees are just not informed . . . and down right hateful. Mind you, I do the same transaction week after week . . . and have just quit. Back to Walmart for this old gal. Bye bye Target.
I also have had TERRIBLE experiences every time I try and use even basic coupons at Target. The cashiers always have a reason why you can’t use the coupons and customer service is even worse. I avoid Target like the plague unless it is a deal I can’t pass up (like the starbucks coffee for $3.50 a bag a while back)!
