Maybe Target isn't Completely Useless

I am not a huge fan of Target stores.  However, I "shop" there every once in a while because it is the closest store to me (Wal-Mart is another mile or so down the road - and I have the weird notion that if I want to buy something I should force myself to walk there). 


Well, what did I confirm on my latest trip to Target?  Target price matches Amazon.com (at least on advertised items).  That means that I can now get Amazon prices and pay with cash (I prefer cash purchases) and get it that day.


So what do you need to know? 
- Many Target stores have free Wi-Fi
- They want you to have a mobile device to confirm the price (especially if it is Amazon, Best Buy, Wal-Mart. com).  
A mini tablet, tablet, or if you are a weirdo (like at least 65% of the population) a smart phone works.     
- Find the customer service desk (that is where they do it)


So, hop on their Wi-Fi (or use your mobile data plan), pull up the price and show it to them, get a better price than the Target advertised one (since Target's advertised prices usually kind of suck).
