Use the Target app and Target Circle

Technology has made our lives easier in nearly every aspect, and shopping is no exception. If you're a Target shopper who hasn't downloaded the Target app yet, we're here to tell you to get on that ASAP—unless you hate saving time and money! The app is packed with great features that will simplify your shopping process and keep your wallet happy.

For starters, this is where you'll be able to use your Target Circle membership straight from your phone. Target Circle is Target's membership saving program (previously known as Cartwheel)—and yes, it's free, so there's really no reason not to use it.

When you use Target Circle to shop at Target, you get tons of money-saving perks, like 1% cash back on in-store and online purchases, personalized offers and discounts (up to 50% off!) tailored to your preferences, coupons for the things you love, and even 5% off on your birthday. Who doesn't want a little birthday gift from their favorite store? Count us in!

The Target app offers even more great features in addition to the perks of Target Circle. While it's the best way to keep track of all your Circle offers, discounts, promotions, and coupons, it also makes your shopping process simpler than ever.

For example, have you ever gone all the way to Target just to realize the one item you had planned on buying is out of stock? With the Target app, that issue is a thing of the past. That's because you'll be able to check the availability of items straight from your phone. Not only is this convenient, but it can also save you the money you may have spent on a more expensive alternate item—or any items you would have bought to justify your otherwise fruitless trip.

Plus, when you simply don't have the time to browse in the store (or don't trust your willpower to not stock up your cart with more than you intended on buying), you can use the Target app's Drive Up or Order Pickup features. The former will allow you to order items ahead and have them delivered straight to your car, while the latter will ensure an easy, breezy in-store pickup experience. Love it! Just think of how much cash you'll save when you're not tempted by all those other items on the shelf and you're able to get in and out with only the things you need.

So there you have it: If you're a regular Target shopper, you absolutely need to get your hands on the Target app. It's the best way to save time, money, and effort—all from the comfort of your own phone.
