How to Coupon at Target
They take all manufacture coupons and also have their own store coupons.
Store coupons can be found at target.com by clicking the "coupons" button on the right of the page.
From there you can pick out what coupons you'd like and print them. Each coupon can be printed twice.
There are often coupons for $ off of clothing brands. By matching theses coupons up with clothes on the clearance rack, you can get cheap or even free clothes!
Target coupons can also be stacked with manufacture coupons. That means if there is a Target coupon and a manufacture coupon for a product, such as Iams cat food, you can use both coupons on a single product.
If your looking to purchase a large amount of items using coupons at Target, (your extreme couponer you...) you can pre-order stock so you aren't clearing the shelves and can get all the items you need at once. However, your pre-coupon total on the pre-ordered items must be over $100 for one type of item (ex. just Scope mouthwash) or $500 total for multiple items (ex. scope mouthwash, Iams cat food, Pantene Shampoo, and ect).
Also, Target often has giftcard deals so if you buy a certain item or certain amount of items, you recieve a Target giftcard. This is one way Target can offer products to it's customers below the price that the manufacture allows. These deals often are offered on baby formula, video games, diapers, prescriptions, movies, and electronics.
If you have any problems using coupons at Target, contact the salaried manager of the store. If the manager does not solve the problem, call the corporate number. Target usually is extremely helpful to couponers. Just make sure you have names of those who you had problems with, UPC codes of the products, and the coupon information prior to calling. If you aren't helped correctly, call back to get another customer service employee. Some are better than others.

Big Changes Coming to JCPenney on Feb 1st
Starting February 1st, JCPenney is completely revamping their store. With a new ceo from Apple Inc, JCP is changing all their sales tactics.
Here are some changes that employees have heard of so far:
1. No more coupons except the 15% off from doing surveys.
2. No more one day sales or doorbusters.
3. No mailings sent out.
4. Instead of big sales they will have "everyday low prices"
5. They are attempting to bring in huge brands and want to be in competition with Abercrombie and Fitch, Sephora, and other high end stores.
6. There will no longer be a catalog.
7. Multiple stores are closing.
Will this be the end of the store we know and love?
Right now, they are clearancing out huge amounts for products in nearly every JCP store. So use your coupons and stock up now!
The sale is said to end January 31st and we will just have to wait and see what changes actually happen on the 1st.
