I was really dreading the loss of tax free shopping at amzn that happened a few days ago in my state...as we reliably have a monthly spend with them of 1.5k or so. We bought everything...even some foods and loved prices and prime. Well son wanted swap force...and we spoil him absurdly...so wanted to buy it for him now instead of Santa. Looked locally on phone as we were heading to stores and it was 75 everywhere...65 on amzn....but now with tax and 2 days. Went to tgt as I had 6 of those $10 cards from lego buys. Remembered someone mentioning price matching amzn at tgt....never price matched in my life but gave a shot. Went to customer service and asked for a price match to amzn. She asked how much it was there and I said 64. I started reaching for the iPhone, but she scanned the set, typed in 64 and rang it up. I asked if she needed to see the phone and she said no. I had it out anyways ans mentioned that it was 64.99 not 64 and she said it didn't matter? So.....I've heard mixed messages here.. some say they do it at register....they do not at mine. Some say they whip out ipads to check....not at mine. Register girl said to go to desk and have it on phone in case they want to see it. This was so easy....and with red card negating most of tax...and instant gratification.....tgt is going to put a hurt on amzn.
