Save Money With A Target Red Card

The links in this post contain affiliate links and I will receive a small commission if you make a purchase after clicking on my link.


One of my goals has always been to offer tips for others to save money. About a year and a half ago I stumbled on the Target Red Card. I had previously always stayed away because I thought it was just a credit card and I DID NOT want another credit card. Then I realized that you could tie your debit card to the red card. Earn the same benefits but not have a credit card. Why wouldn't you sign up.

So I did.

Here are some of the great benefits I enjoy:

  • 5% off every day
  • Free shipping at Target.com (no minimum purchase) - This is probably my favorite benefit. 
  • Extended returns -- 30 extra days
  • Up to 1% of purchases go to school of your choice

If you haven't signed up for a Target Red Card, you should today!

2015 Goals

I start each year by reflecting on the past year and setting new goals for the different areas of my life. I don't really like to call them resolutions. There really isn't anything that different from December 31st and January 1st other than that they come from two different calendar years. 

My goals for 2015:


  • Follow the Dave Ramsey Financial guidelines more closely. One of our long term goals is to be debt free. We are a long way from it but we are at least making baby steps.
  • Finally, finish my thesis and graduate with my Master's degree.
  • Be more focused on the here and now. I spend a lot of time planning but I want to make sure I don't miss anything that is happening now.
  • Be healthier. This included eating healthier and just living a healthier lifestyle all around. 
So there you have it...my big goals for 2015. What are your goals for the year?
