Fantastic news for those of you that have been having various issues with coupons at Target. The Target corporate coupon policy is now available online!
Target Stores Coupon Policy
Coupons are a great way to save even more when shopping with us, and it’s easy to use them at our stores.
- Target accepts one manufacturer coupon and one Target coupon for the same item (unless prohibited)
- Super Target coupons can be used in any Target store if the store carries the item
- We gladly accept valid internet coupons
Because of the variety of coupons available to our guests, we do have some guidelines for how coupons can be redeemed at Target.
When accepting coupons, we use the following guidelines:
- We accept two kinds of coupons: Target-issued coupons and manufacturer-issued.
- We’ll accept one Target coupon and one manufacturer coupon for the same item, unless either coupon prohibits it.
- Coupon amount may be reduced if it exceeds the value of the item after other discounts or coupons are applied.
- We can’t give cash back if the face value of a coupon is greater than the purchase value of the item.
- We can’t accept coupons from other retailers, or coupons for products not carried in our stores.
- All valid coupons should be presented to the cashier while you’re checking out.
This policy clearly states the official stance on many of the issues that have been reported to me recently. I would encourage you to print a copy and keep it with your coupons to present at the register should you have any future issues.
Thanks, Krazy Coupon Lady!

My question is this – If you have a B1G1Free coupon and a $1.00 off those same 2 items coupon, should both coupons be able to be used at Target if you are purchasing 2 items? I know that Kroger and my Meijer don’t question it, but my local Target says that violates the 1 coupon per item rule. I have many complaints about the way they handle coupons there….valid coupons regularly don’t scan and they have to call managers over to OK them (the cashiers are unable/afraid to override). This happens every time I go and it makes me look like I’m trying to do something underhanded. In the scenario above, I’m wondering what the actual right of the matter is. Help!
Tara Kuczykowski
Stephanie, you could use a $1/1 coupon in conjunction with a B1G1 coupon but not a $1/2. As you mentioned, you can only use one manufacturer’s coupon per item. The B1G1 coupon attaches to one item, and the $1/1 attaches to one item. If you were to use a $1/2 coupon, that would mean that you’re using two coupons on one of the items. Does that make sense?
Melody
I have a question about Target’s coupon policy. Their policy states that they accept one manufacturer coupon and one Target coupon for the same item (unless prohibited). I am confused about the prohibited part. Some of my manufacturer coupons say limit one coupon per item purchased. Does that mean I can’t combine a Target coupon with it?
Autum
My target here in NH says that I can only use one specific Target coupon for an item per day per transaction. So if you’re have 4 fresh produce Target coupons, those are not allowed. This would mean you’d need to reserve the other 3 for the next time. Doesn’t seem so much fun with Target anymore.
Tara Kuczykowski
Sorry to hear that, Autumn. You might try another store if you have one nearby. That part of the policy is actually up to the store manager’s discretion, and many stores will let you use more than one like Target store coupon in a single transaction.
Audrey C.
I had a horrible experience at Target today and my couponing there normally goes very well.
I had a small assortment of items, and had Target Qs and matching manufacturer Qs for 3 of them. The cashier told me I could not use both a Target Q and a manufacturer Q on a single item because of fraud and the store coupon policy now prohibited it.
I explained I had been there earlier that week and done similar transactions with no problem. She called over a manager who told me I couldn’t do it because then I’d be getting an item for free and it wasn’t fair, and the registers themselves were not able to scan two Qs for one item and in such a case, the cashiers couldn’t override it. They both regarded me as if I was trying to game the system, and it was slightly humiliating.
So as not to hold up the line, I took back my coupons that didn’t scan and paid for the full total, but when I reviewed my receipt later I noticed that for one of my items (Clorox wipes), both the manufacturer Q AND the Target Q registered and took off the appropriate amount.
If it’s an individual store policy, I could understand that (but can they override corporate policy? None of my coupons prohibited a second coupon from being used on the same item) but the manager was clearly lying about the registers not being able to scan two coupons for one item because the Clorox wipes did scan both coupons without problem.
It will be a sad day for me if I have to cut Target out of my couponing deals.
Tara Kuczykowski
Oh, that is absolutely false, Audrey. I’d definitely get on the phone with Target’s customer service. Their policy is to accept one store coupon and one manufacturer’s coupon on an item. In fact, my store has signs posted at every checkout line indicating this. You can see a photo here: https://dealseekingmom.com/target-stacking-coupons-for-maximum-savings/
Audrey C.
Well, I fired off an email to corporate last night but I only got a form reply in response. I suppose I’ll be calling customer service after work. Disappointing.
Jennifer Edwards
I just went to target this evening and tried to buy 3 packs of huggies wipes for $1.99 each, and then use a manufacturer coupon for $2.50 off of the purchase of 3. The coupon only rang up for $1.99, and when I asked why, I was told that they could not give me more than the value of the item (i.e., $1.99) off. When I told them that didn’t make any sense since I was required to purchase all 3 in order to use the coupon, I got a very rude stare and complete silence. What gives?
Tara Kuczykowski
Sounds like you got a very uninformed cashier. :( Did you try going to the customer service desk?
Jennifer Edwards
The cashier actually called over the manager and that’s what the manager told me. I was tempted to just cancel the purchase all together, but it was still a good deal. It really doesn’t make any sense at all though, and the lady was obviously not in the mood to compromise. I was just wondering if anyone else has had that experience, since they don’t really specify anything in their coupon policy :(
catnapped
That’s actually a known problem with the programming of their system (where a “buy X, get $y off” coupon will only get the price of one of the items if it’s less than the coupon value), but it seems like they’re not taking much interest in fixing it as it’s STILL going on as of today (9/29)
Christine
The buy x get $ off problem is STILL going on. Went shopping today with $1 off 3 and it only wanted to give me .82 off b/c that was the cost of one item. Store manager was very rude saying “well your getting one of them for free so what does it matter”.
Leah
To the Target cashier:
If I have 30 bottles of trial size shampoo and 30 one dollar coupons, you are darn skippy that I’m going to get 30 dollars worth of free shampoo. It’s employees like you that cause me give stores other than yours, my business. Your store is reimbursed by the manufacturer for every penny of the coupons value. Target isn’t out anything. There is nothing more annoying than a nosy cashier who gets ticked because someone is getting something for free. Use your coupons and you could be a smart shopper, too!
ATargetCashier
If you go to Target to buy shampoo, why bother to buy 30 little bitty bottles when you could go across the aisle, but a bottle or two of regular shampoo (avg. size 12+ oz), pay for it and leave the store, freeing up your day to do more constructive things. Fraud by any other name is still “fraud.” Now admit it — you enjoy playing the “game,” so you spend your precious gasoline driving around town just so you can play that game — and make the cashier miserable in the process. Whee! What fun!
ATargetCashier
A legit question to ALL of YOU: What do all you ladies do with all those candles, perfurmed oils, teeny little boxes of cereal, etc. ad nauseum that you buy? Do you donate them to a local food pantry? Or do they languish on your shelves, after they fall behind the other stuff and are never eaten/used. Does the printer ink you use and the gasoline consumed to drive from store to store (oh, yes you do!) justify walking away with 30 cereal cups “free?” Do the math. Now admit it: You are playing a game, aren’t you? It is called “screw the establishment” — and you walk away feeling mighty proud of yourself. One other thing: A lot of you could use a basic course in the English language and correct spelling thereof. That could take up some of that spare time you spend “couponing.”
josie
I can’t speak for everyone, but I burn my candles and feed my kids the cereal. They’re just as happy to eat a single serving size I got for free rather than a box I bought for $4. When I can spend that $4 to stop and get ice cream or let them ride those little $.25 rides outside of stores. . . bonus. But sometimes that $4 is used to pay the gas bill or buy diapers.
I know couponing can seem tedious (and let’s face it, ladies, it really CAN be tedious sometimes) and one can certainly go overboard trying to accumulate free/cheap things. However, for many of us, all those free things we get allow us to free up money in our grocery budget so we can buy better quality food, spend less time working and more time with our kids, get some dental work done. I’ve definitely never been motivated to coupon by the thought of “screwing the establishment.” Quite the opposite, actually. I have stock in target and it took a precipitous nosedive in February of ’09. Fortunately, it’s made its way back up again.
Target doesn’t lose anything when I use a manufacturer coupon. They get reimbursed plus $.08. The relationship between manufacturers and retailers is symbiotic: Manufacturers sell more of a product because they put out a coupon. Retailers get consumers into their stores and sell products because a consumer was motivated to go out and shop because of that coupon. Everyone’s happy.
As some really helpful cashiers have mentioned above, individual target stores may have to depart from the corporate policy due to coupon fraud or to maintain stock of various items. And sometimes cashiers don’t have much training on coupon redemption, which is on Target, not them. That’s just how it is and, ideally, we’d all have some patience with each other.
Being a jerk isn’t something that’s specific to couponers or cashiers. It’s specific to people. A couponer who’s nasty to a cashier and tries to use coupons incorrectly, is probably nasty in general and steals her neighbor’s wifi. A cashier who accuses all couponers of trying to “screw the establishment” might be unpleasant in general, but may also have just had to deal with a lot of couponers who have happened to be jerks. Either way, best to mosey on over to another checkout lane.
Priscilla
I agree that buying a bunch of junk that you don’t need is a waste of time. I also don’t like psycho coupon people. However you sound like a jerk! You are a lazy bum who is so angry that anyone is making you do a little bit of extra work that you threadcrap all over this blog. Target should track your IP address (it’s pretty easy to trace someone via IP) and fire your lazy butt! You are just icky.
WalmartCashier
To ATargetCashier,
You are a complete embarassment to yourself, to the target company, and any person who has read what you’ve posted. I understand that it is difficult to serve others all day, but lets all face it here, you are in the service industry and since you probably don’t have a college degree that means you will continue to serve others… if you cannot handle being polite why don’t you go back to college(probably a business school) and work your way up to coporate so you can change the coupon policy yourself instead of treating others so maliciously. Guess what, all those trial size bottle add up to how much is in a giant bottle.
ATargetCashier
Deer Wallmart casheer: I must say you ar cumpleetly wrongg abut me. I werk at this jobb becuz thats all I coullld get in this economee. I notised that you have misspelled Target (that’s with a capitol “T”). I would also suggest that you re-read your diatribe (look that up in the dictionary) and see how many mistakes you have made. No, I don’t have A college degree; I have TWO BAs, I speak four languages and have traveled more than half-way around the world. Oh yes, I never went to business school because I was in regular college, but I continue to attend night school classes (just to keep me sharp!) You see — I’m 72 years young! Now, crawl back to Wal-Mart and lick your wounds. I’m telling you kid — you really ought to take English 101.
boon
To ATargetCashier,
All i can say it’s your english is worse than new esl student. You need to look at your last post and count how many time that u misspell. I guess you are still taking english classes at your night school.Aren’t you?
lol
ATargetCashier
No, actually it was a feeble attempt at humor. My English is quite unimpeachable; I also speak three other languages and spelling has always been my forte. While English was neither of my majors in college, I have always endeavored to do my best in my research by using proper English. I am appalled by the lack of good grammar and the sloppy presentation(s) seen in most of these blogs. When WalMart Cashier said those unkind (and untrue) things about me, I decided to take her to task. Now, are you satisfied? I shall refrain from further commerce with you and in the future, will endeavor to find a better use of my time. From a well-chastened TargetCashier who would never deign to use substitutions such as “lol” and “u” for “you.”
me
wow if i were UR i mean UR lol
Boss i would have you fired out the door NOW.IMMED……………DONT U JUST LUV MY SPELLING? bET IT REALLY ANNOYS YOU RIGHT NOW DUZZINIT?
Priscilla
Then maybe it’s the dementia that makes you so nasty.
Chelsea
When you’re losing an argument (A Target Cashier) insult someones spelling. Karma will get you eventually for being perpetually nasty.
Laurie
Wow, I don’t have a soapbox so I’ll keep this simple. Does anyone know what Target’s policy is regarding BOGO sales and coupons? Both Rite Aid and Walgreens, for example, state in their policies that up to 2 manufacturer’s coupons can be used for a buy one get one free promotion. I can’t find anything online about Target’s policy on the subject, and I lost over 9 minutes of my life calling Target Guest Relations in India this afternoon. The man was very difficult to understand and he didn’t even comprehend my question. He kept reading scripted responses to things I hadn’t even asked… but I digress. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Tami
I know for a fact you can use a manufacturer’s coupon (i.e. $1 off) and also use a BOGO at the same time. I do it everywhere, not just Target. Clearly it violates NO coupon policy. Yet, the elderly Target employee tonight refused to accept it for 2 different items I was buying and acted as if she is the one in the know while everyone else is clueless. I got tired of it and just used the BOGO rather than combine both. Ridiculous.
JackHandy
Wow. I had a Target experience I don’t ever want to replicate so I plan on not shopping there anymore. Here’s my story:
I went shopping at the Metro North store in Kansas City with my ten year old granddaughter and forgot to give the cashier my coupons when I checked out. My wife called the store and they told her to bring in the receipt and the coupons to the Customer Service counter and they would honor the coupons, so I was the one who went back to the store. A smartass young female cashier called in a manager (I doubt the main manager of the store) when I attempted to redeem the coupons at the CS desk later as was told I could. Because we shopped for double coupon items at the Target store every item on the receipt had a Target and a manufacturer coupon, neither of which was prohibited by the other and they were all legal unexpired coupons. The CS clerk immediately started treating me like I was a criminal and wanted to know why I purchased such a diverse list of products. My receipt totaled $136 and my coupons totaled $41. We are very smart shoppers and look for coupon deals only on products we use all the time, or would like to use if we could afford them normally. A different granddaughter of mine who is much older worked at Target before at the CS desk and gladly informed me that Target’s coupon policy is to honor coupons within 14 days of the original purchase date at the Customer Service counter if you present the original receipt, and that if you later return an item that you used a manufacturer coupon they must either return the coupon or the full price of the item not including the amount you paid with the coupon. Why the full price? Because Target will still mail the coupon off to the manufacturer and get paid!
That receipt scrutiny and the humiliation I endured for that 35 minute expedition to Target and cemented our decision not to ever shop there ever again! I’m wondering why they informed me on the phone I could still redeem my coupons and then treated me like a criminal when I brought them in. I demanded a contact number for the ill treatment they gave me, and keep in mind at no time was I flippant or rude to anyone. I called the Guest Relations number 800-303-0308 and started a formal complaint against the store. If anyone is interested I will let you know how it turns out, and I am more than anxious to publish the “actual” Target coupon policy including the result of my personal experience with being told many different conflicting ideologies regarding using coupons at Target.
donna
Does anyone know the policy on BOGO and using 2 coupons. Most all other stores say they take 2 coupons…had a issue today with one… Don’t see it on the policy either way…thanks
Jill
If a Target coupon says, “Limit one coupon per offer or transaction,” can that coupon still be stacked with an MFC?
gail
I was completely embaressed when my Target cashier closed their register (with customers inline) to call over a floor manager to review the coupons I wanted to use on my purchase. Yes, I had mulitples, 3 coupons of the same, 4 bogo of the same and 2 of another. My sister, mom and aunt save theirs for me as I am the only one in my family brave enough to venture out and actually try to use them! I was purchasing the exact products, not trying to use two coupons on one item or on the bogos, with these direct from the Sunday paper cut out coupons. I was told Target ONLY will let you use ONE COUPON of the same type per customer, per transaction. I was quite surprized to be told this and when I told the manager I had’nt had a prtoblem before, she told me the cashiers didn’t know what they were doing and the policy is the policy. I can’t seem to find that written any where. One coupon per one like item only? As I have four of one type, I must make four trips/transactions/purchases to use all four? Can anyone verify this for me? I always prefered Target over Walmart, but now not so much.
Target shopper
I have a kind weird question. Say I bought a face wash for 4.99 and gave a $2.00 coupon and changed my mind and wanted to return it. how would they return it? Would they just refund me 2.99 or the full 4.99 price?
Tara Kuczykowski
They will refund you the full price of the face wash.
However (and I’m not implying you’d do this but just for the sake of anyone else that might be reading this) doing so habitually and intentionally in order to try and make money on the coupons used would be fraudulent behavior and could be subject to prosecution.
Convinced
Coupon newbie, just came her to read Target’s policies, but my Target Coupons are now in the trash.
My thought is, Target needs to get themselves a blogger. I am certain if they had one, Mr. Bachelor(s) Degree would be looking for yet another job, Ms. Walmart cashier would be SO hired in his place! :) And the comments left throughout the rest of the year would have been about the improvements made.
My husband is a corporate guy (for another chain) …if he read these kinds of comments about his store, he would cry in his sleep.
LiRod
WOW!!!! I was so looking forward to shopping at Target with my coupons but I can’t say that I like what people have to say about it at all!! As far as the “Target Cashier” goes, if you don’t like your job then quite! Everything that you have blogged has been pure ignorance! It seems to me like your the one with too much time on your hands if your worried about what people are buy with or without coupons and the gas they use to get there! I could go so much further into what (more) I have to say about you but I don’t believe you deserve the time of day so good day to you and GOD BLESS YOU! God knows you need it!
Afraid of Target
After reading how Target Employees treat people using coupons I will never step foot in one…
Barbara Norris
Everyone needs to remember for every Bad complaint you see in regards to using coupons at Target there are probally 10 or 20 satisfied coupon users. People are quick to jump on the slam the store wagon when something bad happens however it’s not the same for when something good happens. I personally have never had any issues at Target using coupons.
Best thing to do is print your policy from the website before you go to the store and call the store and speak to the manager before you go or even when you arrive to find out that stores specific coupon policy as there are some places where it is individual store managers who make the choice … So save your time, your gas and embarrassment and anger by checking before you shop :-)
Mark in LA
I went to the Target in Pasadena today on Colorado Blvd. It is the first time I have encountered a limit of one coupon per transaction for items. I had two coupons for some boxed asian noodles and the cashier and supervisor said I could only use one coupon. On top of that, I had a coupons for Lysol Kitchen spray and Lysol Bathroom cleaner. They tried to tell me I could only use one coupon even though they were different products. It was all very confusing. After I complained “nicely” that it was not two coupons for the same product, the cashier spent a few minutes reading “kitchen” and “bathroom” and finally scanned the coupon. The computer took it so I’m not sure why all the extra effort to deny my $1.00.
BTW, men use coupons too! My mother taught me well.
Tara Kuczykowski
Good for you, Mark! And I don’t mean that sarcastically. My hubby will use coupons if I give him a list and the coupons, but I wish he would take some initiative.
I always love to hear from my male readers. I suspect that there are probably more out there than most would think, but they seem a little hesitant to comment, so thanks for taking the time!
Bluehawke
I have several things I have to point out to all of you:
1) Target has a very bad training program for it’s cashiers
2) Target has a little problem with the way it treats its cashiers (and employees in general)
3) Target does not always have informed Cashiers, Supervisors & Managers
4)Supervisors & Managers can (and do) interpret the policy wrong
Combine all three of these and you will and do have problems.
I have included a copy of the Target Coupon Policy below. You can find it on there web site

Just a quick question. I can see in the coupon policy that Target will gladly accept valid internet coupons. But is there any policy regarding whether or not the coupons have color? I tried to use an internet coupon today (which actually scanned sucessfully at the register), but then the cashier said they couldn’t take carbon copies (her words) of coupons and my coupon must be one because it didn’t have color on it. She called someone over, who didn’t identify himself, and he looked it over for some time and asked if I would still buy the item if they didn’t take the coupon, I said no, I wouldn’t. I didn’t get the item abd asked for my coupon back. I know that other stores policies state that they will accept internet coupons in color or B/W, but I don’t see anything one way or the other in the Target policy. Thank you.
1 HOT COUPONIN MAMA
I had the worst COUPONIN experience at Target today so I went in to see if this deal i found online was at my Target which was for the lunchables and mustard which of course it wasnt but i found some good deals on frenchs hot mustard for 89 cents and i had a 75 cent coupon cant beat that price so i got 3 i also had 3 bogo coupons for ceasers (dog food) 3 bogo coupons for wiskers (cat food) i had a coupon for secret for a 1 it didnt say a size so i grabed the trail size which was 97 cents a coupon for febrezze for a 1 and it didnt say the price so i got the trail size for 1.87 i got ivory soap that was 1.00 i had a coupon for a 1.00 and zest for a 1.00 and had a coupon for 1,00
when i got up to the cashier or should i say B**CH……she rang my stuff up took my coupons went through the screen for every item and started telling me i couldnt get the secret bcuz it was less than a dollar i began to explain to her that she could adjust the 3cents off n she said no and i asked to speak to a manger and she said she was the manger.So i said fine and told her to take it out. then she didnt wanna ring up my coupon for the mustard bcuz she said i could only use one bcuz it says one per purchase so i told her that that means one per bottle so she said she put them in. wen she totaled everything out i know something was wrong so i payed her and i looked at the recipt and of course she had alot of mistakes.
1. she charged me for the secret she said she took off
2. she didnt put n my 3 coupons for bogo of wiskers
3. she didnt ring up 1 of my mustard coupons
4 she didnt ring up my zest of dove coupon
so the csr gave me my money back told me sorry but agreed with the cashier bout the only 1 coupon per transaction and said this was only a cortesy and they wont do it again
Wendy Dahlberg
I have some awesome coupons for Johnson & Johnson ($3/2) for first aid that I am sending 30 to my mom in Joplin, MO ( I am in CA). I told her to go get the travel size first aid kits (.97) so she can donate them to the tornado victims in the shelters. I really hope they dont give her a hard time!!
Anon
The majority of the time when someone hands me a pile of coupons, a large amount of them do not apply to anything they purchased. If a notice pops up on the screen and says “not applicable” that means that coupon is not applicable for anything you have purchased. Am I going to adjust the price so you can use your coupon? No. You didn’t purchase the correct item.
For example, if you have a coupon for $1 off any Tide purchase but it clearly says “excludes travel size” you can NOT use the coupon. If the price of the travel size Tide is .68 and the coupon is $1 off, the coupon savings cannot be greater than the purchase price of the actual item. The store cannot owe you money. This is not just Target that does this, this is every company ever.
Another good point to make is BOGO coupons. If you live in a state where sales tax applies, you still pay sales tax on the free item.
Don’t fight with your cashier if they say they can’t accept the item. The computers are automated to accept every possible coupon. If it won’t accept it, it won’t accept it.
It’s not that hard. Read the coupons. Buy the appropriate item.
sharon
walmart will actually give you cash back.
not every coupon is automated in every computer.
Tina
As a former Target employee of 3 years I have to inform some you of a few things; 1 Cashier/Guest Service training is terrible. Most of the time the cashiers at the lanes are employees called off the floor to cover a break or if theres more than a few people in every line and we had 20 minutes of training to check people out. Never was I personally shown a couponing policy or any policy for that matter. My job was to hurry up get to the register and get people thru the line in as little time as possible. There was a reason for this though, some people have no patience and there are more people that complain on their “surveys” then say they had a good experience in any specific department.
As for the “Managers”, many of them, at my store specifically, were people that were hired right off the street with no prior retail experience when there were many people that had been in retail or with Target in particular for several years and were never offered a Lead position. This is why I went to school and now work in the medical field. 3 years of being passed up for a position I was more than qualified to do so they could hire someone else to be in charge of my department that “I” had to train to tell ME what to do in the future.
Not a good company to work for. The cashiers have the crap end of the deal also. They are yelled at, repremanded, even fired over the smallest things. Please treat your cashier with some compassion because if the mess up and give you something they shouldn’t have it will be found and they will be repremanded but on that note, if you do end up talking to a Manager and they are rude, 90% of the time they are uninformed and maybe just an AHOLE in real life!
Melissa
Target in our area has decided to limit one like coupon per transaction and one ‘transaction’ per customer lately – I tried to go to the link that you posted but it no longer goes to the coupon policy. :-(
anita
I went to Target yesterday. I wanted to use a 50cent coupon off of the Tide trial size pack. The coupon did not state a specific size nor did it excluse trial sizes. However, the cashier said they do not accept these on trial sizes and I stated that this coupon did not exclude the trial size so he called over a manager who honestly looked about 18 years old, and after a few minutes said they cold not accept the coupon. On some of the store sales you list on here I understand you apply your coupons to trial sizes. What should I do next? and dummy me left my store policies in the car!!! Help? Thanks
Tara Kuczykowski
The best thing to do in these kind of cases is to contact corporate. They can’t fix these discrepancies if they’re not aware of them.
Hope you get it resolved! They definitely should take them if they don’t exclude trial sizes on them.
Debra
I had an awkward experience at my local Target last week. I went in and bought strictly food items, non-taxable. I had one manufacturer’s coupon for $1 off one box of Cheerios, the only coupon I used. I have an EBT/Snap/foodstamp card i was using for this purchase,which I’ve used in various other stores with no amount owed at the end of my entire transaction. However, this particular time, when the cashier was done, she told me “Your total is $0.03.” I was like HUH? I didn’t buy anything taxable & I don’t see anything in their coupon policy stating they will tax or charge any fees coupons used at checkout.
Foolishly, I misplaced my receipt so I’m not really sure how it was worded on the receipt. I’m just glad I had a spare nickel in my purse! LOL
Anyone running into this issue with Target too?
