This was a super hard post to write. Because it involved going to Target and saving money.
Have you heard of Cartwheel at Target?? It is a whole new spin on coupons: download the app on to your phone from the App Store or Google Play. Check which deals you want in everything from groceries-décor-pets-clothing-electronics-the café-younameit and when you go to checkout, show the cashier the barcode on your phone, he/she scans it and you save 5-40%! I.love.it.!!
What if you don’t have a smartphone? Or you have a Windows Phone (like me) No Cartwheel for me…yet. It is honestly my biggest complaint about my phone. I hear they are working on that. But, in the meantime, you can still play!
Here is how it works:
1. Sign in at Cartwheel: http://cartwheel.target.com/
2. Choose which deals you want – simply click on the item you want to save on:
3. Next, click on the barcode
4. Then it will give you a barcode you can print off or take on your phone to give to the cashier.
5. Go to Target, get your stuff. On this trip I needed cuties (we go through about 70 million in the winter) and the Cartwheel took an additional 10% off.
And a soap pump for the kitchen. The awesome thing about Cartwheel : the savings are on TOP of what may be on sale at the store, plus you can use printable store/manufacturer coupons on top of it PLUS you still get your 5% discount with your Redcard.
So, this Threshold soap pump(♥♥♥) was $9.99. It was on sale in the store, and then I had checked the 25% off any threshold item in my Cartwheel, so I got it for $6.74.
The nice cashier scanned my printout
OR your phone if you have one
Yesss. Super easy and painless.
You wouldn’t be interested in winning a $1,000 Target GiftCard®, would you?
Well, just in case you are, leave me a comment below and tell me what you think of Cartwheel. Have you heard of it? Do you use it? Love it?
Happy Cartwheeling-

I use it and I love it! I'm about to save $30 on a car seat today! Plus, it's really fun to do. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI had heard about Cartwheel but have not used it yet. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteI love Target and have the cartwheel app. Love to save money. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of this! I'm excited to try it out! Thanks, Melissa!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I use my red card and get the 5% but every little bit helps :)
ReplyDeleteI heard about cartwheel but thought you had to have a smart phone to use it. It's good to know that I can print off a paper. I am always looking to save money, especially at Target. Thanks, Melissa!
ReplyDeleteCartwheel sounds very cool! I am always looking for ways to save more $. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Target AND Cartwheel....
ReplyDeleteI've heard of it, but I've never used it. I don't have a smart phone, and I didn't know you could print off the paper to be scanned. Thanks for sharing...I'll start using it NOW!
ReplyDeleteLove cartwheel and target! Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI don't have the app but will definitely give it a try now. My closest Target is 45 minutes away so I don't shop there very frequently (not because I don't want to) but it might help me save some money when I plan a trip there.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of it but have not yet used it. I am very excited to start using it! :)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome :)
ReplyDeleteOhhhh....Fantastic giveaway!! I use Cartwheel all the time. It makes me feel better about all the time and money I spend at Target every week;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing about Cartwheel, I have heard about it and even downloaded the app but never checked it out. Will be using it now, sounds awesome and I love Target.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to trying this new money-saving method! Thanks!! :-)

Thanks for explaining - everyone's been talking about it - I just get nervous trying new things!! Thanks for the chance at the giveaway!! :)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter told me about this, but I thought I couldn't do it unless I had a smartphone. Thanks for sharing that we can print the barcode out and bring it to the register. Definitely going to try it!
ReplyDeleteUse it and LOVE it! My favorite part is that there are discounts on things I normally can't find any other coupons on - like cage-free eggs, fresh produce, etc. Thanks for the chance to win! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the first I've heard of it and it looks like something I'd totally use!
ReplyDeleteLorraine Ferguson - Sounds interesting. I haven't heard of this before. I think I might have to try it! Lorraine.ferguson@arkansasag.gov
ReplyDeleteI love Target and finally got their debit card. I'm wary of things that require my email and personal info, but it seems like Cartwheel is worth a try.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea it could be used without a smart phone! Now I will definatly use it! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting- I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteI have tried it once now. I just wish I had the smart phone to use instead of having to print at home. It sure was nice to save a little on things I was going to buy anyway!
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea! I always have my phone with me, so I wouldn't have to remember to look for or bring coupons. I'm going to check it out. :) Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of it, but it sounds great! Thanks!
ReplyDeletejennykartchner@gmail
I've not heard of this, thanks for opening my eyes!
ReplyDeleteI love Cartwheel! The best part is that I can use coupons even though I'm not a "coupon clipper". Nothing to remember to bring, I can browse coupons while I'm already in the store!
ReplyDeleteI love Cartwheel, I have saved a bundle this way. I especially like when they have random extra 40% off!
ReplyDeleteI adore Target and am going to download the Cartwheel app now! :)
ReplyDeleteI love it! I use it every time I go. I especially love that Target has free wifi so I can scan Cartwheel while I am in the store without using my data.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of it, but never really understood how it worked, thanks for breaking it down for me!
ReplyDeleteI have a few friends that have raved about this app. I recently downloaded it to my phone, but have yet to use it.
ReplyDeleteDownloading the app as we speak...
ReplyDeleteI love it!!! I currently have 5 badges and working on more :) every little bit of savings helps!!
ReplyDeleteI have heard of it, and I think I will be downloading it soon! I love Target!
ReplyDeletebrainiac512(at)yahoo(dot)com
This sounds so cool, maybe other stores will follow their lead!
ReplyDeleteThanks for introducing me to this app - I love Target!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of it, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI have it downloaded on my phone but i keep forgetting to use it.
ReplyDeleteTarget is the best! Love saving!
ReplyDeleteI will be trying out my Target Cartwheel later today...

ReplyDeleteI love Target, and this is cool! ebmusser@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI love target. I've heard of cartwheel but wasn't sure how it worked so thanks for the step by step tutorial:)
ReplyDeleteI have used it before, but need to get better about taking advantage of it more often.
ReplyDeleteI love Target, but I have never heard of Cartwheel. I can't wait to try it out.
ReplyDeleteI had heard of it, but never had anyone explain how it works before you did. It sounds great - I love a good deal!!
ReplyDeleteI do love Target. I did download Cartwheel but I haven't used it on day-to-day purchases, I have only looked when buying larger gifts. I need to rethink that.
ReplyDeleteDownloading the app now! Can't wait to try it out!
ReplyDeleteI love Target and the cartwheel app
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the target cartwheel. We have been using it at our house for several months and have saved tons of money. Especially since we basically live at Target.
ReplyDeletei think it is a great app to save time and money with; i have not used it but will try it out the next time i visit target.
ReplyDeleteI love target. Can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeletetweet-https://twitter.com/LuLu_Brown24/status/430376751684792320
ReplyDeleteI use and try to remember to look at what deals they have before I head into the store. Otherwise I forget!
ReplyDeleteHave heard lots of great things about Cartwheel but haven't downloaded it yet.
ReplyDeleteI just saved 25% off of Threshold bedding a few weeks ago- serious score! I love the cartwheel ap. My biggest problem is always remembering to reload coupons before I head to Target!
ReplyDeleteI'm just hearing about it now- thanks!
ReplyDeletehaha! I knew the first line of this post had to be sarcasm but it's Monday and for half a second I thought you were serious and worried that we could no longer be blog friends if you didn't like Target ;) I haven't tried Cartwheel yet but I'm stoked to give it a go!
ReplyDeleteJust downloaded the app - am excited to try it!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of it, but it sounds awesome! Will try it for sure. Thanks Melissa!
ReplyDeleteCartwheel...another genius reason I adore Target!
ReplyDeleteI have been using Target for a couple of months. I haven't saved a lot but every little bit helps, especially when you are paying for college!
ReplyDeleteOops...I've been using Cartwheel for a couple of months. I have Target on the brain!
DeleteI have heard of cartwheel and think it sounds really awesome. I don't have a smartphone though, so I'm hoping I'll be able to use it some other way. I love that you get discounts on top of a sale price!
ReplyDeleteI think it is a good thing although I have a windows phone also. Is this in addition to your Red Card 5% discount?
ReplyDeleteJoy -- yes! plus, you can also use it with their other printable coupons and manufacturer coupons. Awesome.
DeleteJust heard of it recently but didn't know what it was. Thanks for your great explanation, complete with visuals (which are very helpful!). And thanks for this giveaway!
ReplyDeleteTweet: https://twitter.com/rhbdesigns/status/430381490459791360
ReplyDeleteI think this is an awesome idea and so easy to use! No more clipping coupons!!! Yay Cartwheel! Yay Target!
ReplyDeleteYes! I love Cartwheel, especially being able to combine coupons and sales.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried the Cartwheel app but I love shopping at Target and I like to save money, so it sounds like a no-brainer to download it.
ReplyDeleteYes! I use Cartwheel and their weekly coupons.
ReplyDeleteI do use it and like it!
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of Cartwheel by Target but will start using asap!
ReplyDeleteHave wanted to try but my phone is really old and slow, was waiting for new phone but think I'll delted apps I don't use and try to load this one
ReplyDeleteI love cartwheel!
ReplyDeleteI do use it, but I wish my store had wifi so I could use my tablet to scan barcodes at the store. I don't have a smart phone so right now I am tied to my computer and it takes forever to look through all the items on cartwheel
ReplyDeleteCould you load your deals at home, then click on the barcode, leave it on your screen (or take a screenshot and save it to your pictures) and then just take your tablet to the store and they should be able to scan it without wifi. Let me know...
DeleteI just signed up the other day and found it overwhelming, but your description made it much more understandable and usable. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to win! I haven't heard of or used Cartwheel but now I'm going to check it out! rose_amyd@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI am certainly going to have to try this cartwheel thing out! We are frequent Target shoppers and I would LOVE to have a gift card like that! Ooo crossing my fingers!
ReplyDeleteraewangsgard(at)hotmail(dot)com
I have heard that it is great thank you for reminding me to look in to it.
ReplyDeleteI just heard about it and I think it sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteI've heard about cartwheel but have not used it yet.
ReplyDeleteI use cartwheel and I love it! Especially on beauty items. I get to try new stuff for cheaper! :)
ReplyDeleteI had not used it but now I think I will! cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I will definitely check out the app - I shop at Target at least once a week!
ReplyDeletei have the app and love it when i remember to actually use it when I go to Target (which is a lot!)
ReplyDeleteI find it beneficial. My only complaint is that I live too far from Target to use very often.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Cartwheel before! but I'm excited to use it!
ReplyDeleteI have the app, but I don't use it as much as I should! I need to get better about it! :) thanks for the giveaway offer!!!
ReplyDeleteI love using the cartwheel app on my phone! I've even saved extra money on clearance items!
ReplyDeleteKristina A janhanderatyahoodotcom
Use it and LOVE it! I've saved almost $70 on things I would have been buying anyway. I do wish Target could make the coupons they have available online for printing somehow digital so I could save paper AND have access to things in the store as I'm shopping. I could just look it up on my phone and then use it in store.
ReplyDeleteI just signed up myself. I don't have a smartphone, but I do have a tablet. And I saw that you can scan your barcode and see if their is a Cartwheel offer for it. I need a new soap dispenser and that's a great deal for a good looking pump. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of it, but I appreciate the heads up. And I don't have a fancy phone either, so I will use your tips.
ReplyDeleteI just downloaded it. Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeleteI haven't used it yet but it sounds good!
ReplyDeletemami2jcn at gmail dot com
Looks like something I will have to try out. lubrundage at comcast dot net
ReplyDeleteLove Cartwheel! Love Target!
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of this until today. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE cartwheel on my iphone!!! So convenient-no printing necessary and something in my cart always seems to match up with a coupon. :)
ReplyDeleteI love Target! I just got an iphone so I'll have to get the cartwheel app! Thanks for sharing! michellesnell@comcast.net
ReplyDeleteI am coming back from overseas for the summer and can't wait to shop at Target again! I actually just downloaded this app the other week on my phone, and am more then ready to use it :)
ReplyDeleteI always thought cartwheel was complicated, but you made it sound easy. Mcmtino@aol.com
ReplyDeleteI have the app and have used it a few times. But you have convinced me to be more diligent about checking for the discounts. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI keep on forgetting but need to start using Cartwheel.
ReplyDeleteI have the Target Cartwheel app and LOVE it. Being stay at home mom, we like to save in any area that we can. I have only had it for about six months, but have already saved almost $200! I combine our Target Redcard with it and save an additional 5% on every purchase. :)
ReplyDeleteI just downloaded the app (because of this post!) and am excited to use it! I love saving money! I would use my winnings to purchase some new furniture for my house and all those non necessities that are on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard of this, but I'm downloading it now. We are renovating a lake cottage, and I'm getting ready to spend a ton of money at Target!
ReplyDeletelove it
ReplyDeleteWow! Thanks for letting us know. Any time I can save money at Target . . .
ReplyDeleteJust downloaded the app last week...now I just need to remember to use it!
ReplyDeleteI get the Cartwheel emails but haven't used any discounts yet. I need to better plan my Target shopping trips so I can use the discounts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing how to do this. I get the emails, but didn't know what to do with the app. Thank you, I think I've got it now. Can't wait to use it.
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/smjudd8/status/430410952014446592
ReplyDeleteI use Cartwheel quite frequently. I wish the discounts were bigger, but even a little is nice.
ReplyDeleteI have not heard of Cartwheel until this post! I'm excited to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteChristine
I have always wondered what this Carwheel thing was...I even asked a cashier one day, and she didn't know. So, I'm so happy for this information...you explained it perfectly!! And it DOES sound easy!! Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard of Cartwheel but am going to check it out. Glad you can do it online. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of it. thanks for sharing. Can't wait to use it with my $1000 gift card :)
ReplyDeleteI love Cartwheel! I find its a great way to save up on things I'm already buying, and justifying a few things I wouldn't normally buy :)
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of Cartwheel before your post. Thanks! I can't wait to use it since I love shopping at Target!
ReplyDeleteI love Cartwheel!! Always use it now!
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of cartwheel! sometimes I feel under a rock if if was not for you! Plus I was looking for a soap pump just like the threshold one. Time to pay my local Target a visit! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI just used the Cartwheel app for the first time last week and saved 25% on Circo brand clothes for my children!
ReplyDelete<3 cartwheel and <3 target!
ReplyDeleteThanks for clearing this up, I thought it was more complicated then that!
ReplyDeleteI've heard of it, but having no cell phone (I know, crazy right?) I didn't think it applied to me. I'm so glad to hear I can still use it! Thanks for the great info and give away. I promise to use it when I spend the gift card (if I win) :)
ReplyDeleteI had complained that you had to have a Facebook account to use Cartwheel, and now you can use an email login. We use it at least once a week and absolutely love it!!!! If you're a frequent shopper to Target, you definitely need this!
ReplyDeleteI have been telling anyone and everyone that is within a 5 foot shot of me about Cartwheel. I am addicted to this app!
ReplyDeleteI just found out about cartwheel not too long ago. It's taking some getting use to, but I have already saved using it! It's just another reason to love Target!
ReplyDeleteI use Cartwheel regularly and love it!
ReplyDeleteUse it and love it! I just (finally) got a red card so that I could save even more!
ReplyDeleteI use it every time I shop at Target. Love it! I'd love to win the giveaway too!
ReplyDeleteDid not know about this. Just bought some Threshold items on Friday! Dang it.
ReplyDeleteLOVE THIS. Use it all of the time. Kristen- who posted above me- if you take your receipt to customer service and show them an active cartwheel coupon they should honor it...
ReplyDeleteI just downloaded the app a couple of weeks ago to save on diapers. A little over $3 off a box of diapers? Yes, please! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway! Love Target and Cartwheel!!
ReplyDeleteI haven't used it yet...but it sounds awesome!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard about it! But I'll be downloading the app to my phone immediately!! Thank you for the heads-up!
ReplyDeleteHow have I not heard about this yet? I love Target! Thanks so much!!
ReplyDelete--Mary in Tennessee
I love Cartwheel! I didn't download it at first because I didn't want to login with facebook, but once they added the email signin option-Yes!
ReplyDeleteI just used it for the first time this weekend. I couldn't believe they could scan straight from my phone! I had doubts that it would work, but of course it did!! :)
ReplyDeleteI am truly grateful that you gave the explanation of how to use Cartwheel. I've heard about it, but now I can actually use it! (That is, when they get the site all fixed up....it was down a few minutes ago when I tried it! ) Oh well....
ReplyDeleteI have not used it yet, but would like to try it
ReplyDeleteelena150980@yahoo.com
I adore Target and I'd love to use Cartwheel more often but since I don't have a target in my town (sob!) I wish I could use it online!
ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to sign up for cartwheel. I'll do it now.
ReplyDeleteWe've used it, and we really like it!

I never go to Target with out my Cartwheel ready and able...even then I have it out just in case I find a neccessary, but not needed buy! I love it!
ReplyDeleteLOVE Cartwheel! I've used the 40% off Threshold sheets for amazing king sheet sets less than $50!
ReplyDeleteI have just started using Cartwheel and I love it! I especially love that if the cashiers notice something that's on it, they ask me if I've downloaded it yet and will wait for me to do so if I haven't. I'm trying to remember to check before I go in the store now. Just got a swimsuit for 10% off!
ReplyDeleteI love Cartwheel!

ReplyDeleteI use it every time I go to Target. If you do have the app, you can use it to scan what you buy. If there's a Cartwheel deal for your item, it will bring it up and you can add it to your Cartwheel deal! I never leave without using Cartwheel and my Red card debit card! Love those extra savings!!
ReplyDeleteI love Cartwheel so much I've had to stop going to Target on my lunch break! :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds amazing! I can't wait to give it a whirl.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds awesome! I already use the redcard, which I love, so this is icing on the cake! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of Cartwheel and I don't have a smart phone. Maybe if I win the sweepstakes I could buy a smart phone and then use cartwheel!
ReplyDeleteI have never used this app because I wasn't sure how it worked - thanks for the explanation!
ReplyDeleteI haven't used the app but am excited for a few extra savings at Target! Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI've never tried it, but would love to try.
