Just recently I was in need of some furniture for my new apartment. I needed a nice tv stand and a new desk, and when I went to target.com I realized they had a sale 15%off anything over $125, but then you can combine it with the 10% AAA members receive online you get 25% off in total. Plus if the item has free shipping that is roughly another $35 off the total price. So for a Tv Stand priced at 129.99 + 35 shipping = 170+ with tax, but with discounts only cost 102.36 with free shipping. Happy Shopping!!!!!

"If" the item has free shipping???

10% off then 15% off does not equal 25% off. Why don't people get this? You can't add percentages like that.

Say an item is $100. You first get 10% off (order does not matter), so the price is $100 - $10 = $90, then another 15% off that $90 which is $90 - $13.50 = $76.50. So you're paying $76.50 for the originally $100 item that is not 25% off but 23.5% off.

Think of it this way: if you had two 50% off coupons, you wouldn't get the item for free (50% + 50% = 100%), but you would get the $100 item for: $100 - 50% = $100 - $50... $50 - 50% = $50 - $25 = $25. So, two 50% off coupons gets you a 75% discount, not 100%.

since you're a new member, I'll give you one thumbs up for sharing that AAA members get 10% off. I've been a member for 30+ years and I didn't know that (or maybe I just forgot about it). I would not have known if you did not post.

I'll give you another thumbs up if you can tell us how members can access the discount. Is it through a link from AAA or coupon code?

I just bought something and got the 25% off. Using the code a few posts up or maybe it was another thread. Plus 4% e b a t e. I am loyal to FW and always check here first Just a note, was also thinking of buying a bed set for $300 but it added $120 to my shipping! Same item at WalMart has about $40 shipping. By the way, the free shipping and prob 15% ends tomorrow. My guess is prices may be lower after the sale ends.

Mathematically you are correct. But Target actually combined the 10 and 15 and gave me 25%.

Subtotal of Items: $329.99
Shipping & Handling: $37.39
Promotion Applied: -$82.50
Free Shipping: -$37.39
-----------
Total before tax: $247.49
Estimated Tax: $20.73
-----------
Total for this Order: $268.22

$82.50 is 25% of $330.
By the way I am a math teacher - not joking... Maybe their web programmers need a math lesson
