UPDATE: I wanted to re-post this Target coupon tip because I was SO HAPPY when I discovered it! No more wasting ink to print and have it NOT be a Target coupon!

I was so excited when I saw this post on Hip2Save!  I tried to research and find the answer before to no avail!  Have you ever been so frustrated to find a Target coupon online, only to print it and it’s a manufacturer coupon or vice versa?  Well here’s how you can tell what type of coupon it is BEFORE you print it!

1. Go to the Target coupon site and right-click on any Coupon image.

2. Depending on your browser, you’ll look for the following text:

• Firefox: “View Image” text and a new tab or window will open up with the image in your browser.
• Chrome: “Copy Image URL” then you will need to paste that image URL into a new web browser.
• Internet Explorer: “Properties” then a window will pop up showing you the image URL.

3. Look at the html coding at the top of your browser. You will see a long string of text for the image source.  Look closely at the link and you’ll notice that if a coupon is a Target store coupon, it will say “target” in the text.

4, If the coupon is a manufacturer’s coupon, it will look like one of the above pictures and have either the word “manufact” in the HTML OR you may also see the particular manufacturer name in the link instead, like “files.cncdn.co/partners/norelco/….” as seen above.
