Melissa's Great Target Shopping Trips!!

We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.

I have to share Melissa’s shopping trips this week because she is a girl after my own heart! She checked out the clearance racks and found an AMAZING deal and she planned a super shopping trip that saved her a TON of money.

Melissa found on the clearance shelf a Banzai Sidewinder Water Slide marked $40.06, org $79.99. The tag was a normal Target clearance one but had *online return* on it. The water slide actually has a retail price of $499.99 as found on Target.com. Wow!!

Here are all the separate transactions she did, she did separate transactions so she could use the gift cards she earned on her next purchase. Target won’t allow you to use any gift cards you earn at the time of purchase. This reduced her out of pocket cost.
