Target shoppers often end up buying more than they plan. The so-called “ Target Effect” sometimes has customers walking into the store for just a single item, then leaving with dozens more. Thankfully, Target makes saving money as easy as it makes spending it.

Through Target’s website, shoppers can find coupons and clearance deals that can be used online or in stores, including coupons found through the Target app or manufacturers. Knowing when to shop is equally as important as checking for coupons — Target marks down different departments on different days, and has its best sales after certain holidays.

Here are some other tips for saving money at Target:

Some Target shoppers have noted that the store marks down different departments on different days.

Popsugar reported that the markdowns can vary store to store, though a Target spokesperson said that the retailer does not follow a consistent schedule.

If an item you bought in the past 14 days goes on sale, Target will refund you the difference between the purchase price and the new sale price.

Make sure you check online to see if anything you recently purchased goes on sale.

Target will price match if you bring proof of a lower price from a select online competitor.

If you see a competitor’s local print ad for a lower price, or see a select competitor has a lower price online, bring it to Target in the next 14 days and you’ll be sure to get the best price.

The best clearance deals are usually on the wall-facing end caps.

Make sure to check the ends of the aisles to see what’s on sale.

Clearance items are typically marked down from 15% or 30%, then to 50%, and finally to 70%.

The percentage off will be written in the right-hand corner of the price tag.
