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.

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.
