A money-saving tip if you shop Target online and have items shipped.

The price of the item can be different at different stores, and you can choose to order from any store in the country.

My protein shakes cost 22% less if I choose a Target in various other towns and states, rather than the Targets near my home.

Shipping time is the same, so obviously they're shipping from the facility closest to me that has the stock.

I just thought this was interesting enough to share.

(I haven't checked other websites to see if they're similar.)

online before Christmas and (I may have read it wrong) in the fine print it said if you have a problem and return the item they would only refund your payment with a Target gift card instead of $ back to the card you used for the purchase....

Often the first price goes up. On eBay I often see prices go up over the weekend. Usually I can get the same price if I bookmark the deal, but not always.

I only do it two or three times and then go with the cheapest.
