  1. Kay Campbell

    I have a better idea! Don’t go to Target and act silly!

  2. mel

    It’s not a NEW policy.

  3. Erica

    What is the new policy? I am lost about what people are saying.

    • Just Me

      You can use the bathroom with which you gender identify.

  4. dontbsmallminded

    wow…just wow…

  5. x

    If you are uncomfortable using the restroom at Target, don’t. The whole issue is just plan STUPID. Political correctness run amok.

    • Abby

      😢 This attitude scares me.

      • Stacy

        I agree

    • Kathy

      The whole issue is stupid? I’m assuming you don’t have small children? The thought of a man walking into the restroom while my young daughters are in there is infuriating. Almost a million people have signed a petition boycotting Target… For good reason.

      • dontbsmallminded

        @kathy transgendered ppl have always been using the restrooms that they wanted…and up until recently u or most ppl didnt know and so didnt have a problem with it. But now all the crazys have come out with their horror stories and their imagination is running wild.Lets c how many ppl actually boycot target..the minute there is a good deal, you know all u guys are going to b back.

        • Kathy

          I am done with Target and will gladly pass up a deal there. I am sorry but I stand with and will answer to my maker… Not to mention it’s a safety concern as well. Just voicing my opinion as others have don’t here in support of the decision, which we are all entitled to.

          • Abby

            Thank you for standing up for what is right, Kathy. It’s not popular.

          • Faith

            I agree!

        • Abby

          It’s interesting that are telling us what we are going to do !?! You don’t even know us.

      • Casey

        Kathy: A man could have walked in to that bathroom anyway. A transgender person is not interested in your child. And if a man walked into the bathroom while I am in there with my 5 year old daughter, I would tell him he is in the wrong restroom. Do you spend that much time in the Target bathroom that this is a real issue for you?

        • Abby

          Um if a man walked in you wouldn’t be allowed to tell him he’s in the wrong bathroom. That’s the whole issue.

          • Casey

            Abby: A man transitioned or transitioning into a woman is no longer a man.

            • Abby

              And who are you to judge whether he is a “transitioning” man or a man dressed as a woman??? I’m confused how you would know that. Btw, a man dressed as a man can use the women’s restroom. You have no right to tell him to leave! Sad but true.

        • Abby

          So you really trust that a man dressed up as a woman doesn’t want to harm your children??

          • Casey

            I am not concerned about anyone harming my child in the Target bathroom. I don’t send a 5 year old in there alone. I am not afraid of anyone and I doubt men “dressed up as women” will be hanging out waiting for you.

            • Abby

              Time will tell. God help our country that no longer has any respect for morals.

      • Abby

        I know! People keep saying that we are just scared about the “what if” factor that can happen anywhere!
        It is no longer a “what if” situation when Target is specifically inviting and encouraging men to use the women’s restroom. History speaks. Study out cultures that have allowed this & you will find that the percentages of terrible things happening is drastically higher than a “what if” situation!
        It’s like saying I can’t let my children ride in a car because an accident MIGHT happen. But I use car seats, seat belts, air bags, traffic laws, no cell phone use – all as safeguards to protect them!!! If I just tossed them in the back seat and went 80 mph while texting, the percentage of the chance of an injury skyrockets!!

        • Grey

          Well, by all means, enlighten us, where are these facts and statistics from other cultures????

          • Abby

            An extremely good example to study would be Rome. Look at what happened to value of women and children and human life in general.

            • Grey

              What happened, give me some facts, site me some sources? Are you talking about medieval times?

            • Abby

              Yes Ancient Rome. Do some research & you will find plenty of accurate historical sources.

    • Diana

      What happened?

  6. Melissa Simpson

    It is about any man, predator or not having access to women and children in a private enclosed space away from the general public. We should protect our children and not support people putting them at greater risk for harm. I signed the boycott because no store or store’s saving or material things come before the safety of children.

    • Abby

      Very well said, Melissa.

    • Casey

      I don’t hang out in the Target bathroom. I spend zero time in there. This is a non issue that people are stirring up. They are fearmongering toward you.

      • Abby

        I don’t ever use the restroom. I will not support a store that endangers people. That is the issue.

        • Casey

          It’s a very sad thing that you feel you are in danger over this. The AFA just accomplished what they wanted to. I hope one day people realize that. Fearmongering is dangerous.

          • Ginger

            Right? The AFA is a Hate Group. These are the same people who, when a gunman walks into an elementary and kills a bunch of little kids, say that guns aren’t bad – Its Islams fault. I’m not making that up – read AFA’s blog – they are nut jobs. Its so hypocritical. All you people who will boycott Target because your Child’s safety is at risk in the bathroom are supporting a group who could care less if your child gets shot because gun control is unconstitutional. This is not an issue of safety. This is Hate, plain and simple. If you really really cared about safety, you would stop wasting your time hating Target and other groups, and focus your energy towards making sure mentally ill get healthcare they need to keep them from committing crimes. And FYI, transgender can use any bathroom they want in any store, because there is no Genital police checking ids at he bathroom door. Chances are you have used the restroom with a transgender person and didn’t even know it – there is no sign on their forehead that ids them. And if you think you are really good at judging a book by its cover, then stop saying you stand with Jesus on this one, because he didn’t judge or hate.

            • dontbsmallminded

              @ginger thank you..i dont know how to explain to ppl how they are being fooled…trying to demonize a set of ppl for their sexuality or their gender/religion is all these hate groups can come up with. And ppl fall for it EVERY TIME…that too in the name of Jesus.

            • Abby

              No demonizing a group of people. There is such a thing as right and wrong, contrary to popular belief, I know.

            • Abby

              “He didn’t judge”?
              For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son. John 5:22
              The Father … hath given him authority to execute judgment. John 5:26-27
              And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world. John 9:39
              For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:10

              God is a loving righteous God. Along with true love comes righteous justice.

    • Tracey

      Where can I find the boycott?

  7. Michele

    Isn’t this site about deals & coupons or did I just wonder into a chat room? I don’t think this is the appropriate venue for restroom discussion as the products are on the shelves not in the bathroom.

    • Casey

      You’re completely correct, Michele. It was only a matter of time before someone brought this up. When they do I will tell them how wrong they are, too.

    • Laura

      Thank you! I thought the same thing.

    • Matalier

      I was wondering why there were so many comments about cookies!

      • mel

        Me too lol

        • Princess

          Lol!!! I did also. I was thinking darn those must be some really special cookies.🤔

          • Miriam

            Lol!! Me too!! 😂😂

    • Randee

      I agree with you, I came to the comments to see of anyone had any additional deal information and came across a topic that has nothing to do with deals 🙁

  8. dontbsmallminded

    I have a question…what if there is a male pedophile interested in boys? Aren’t the boys still in danger? So you ppl so worried, should be with your children..thats all. Fear mongering is at an all time high this election cycle. However no harm in having a discussion…lets just keep it civil.

    • Casey

      You’re correct @dontbsmallminded. How many old Republican politicians have been busted being shady in bathrooms or with young boys, etc? The same people who fearmonger on mothers.

      • dontbsmallminded

        @Casey thats exactly what my husband was saying…we need to be more afraid of old white republican men than trans ppl…as far as i know no trans ppl have so far been caught attacking anyone in a restroom.

        • Abby

          Oh so this is more about politics than morals. Now I understand. This has nothing to do with Republican or Democrat, but rather right and wrong.
          That’s the thing, what is a “trans person”?? There is no evidence of ANYone ever changing genders naturally!!

          • dontbsmallminded

            Actually my comment was all about statistics…i don’t think there have been any instances of trans person attacking anyone in a bathroom…but i remember a few politicians from the party who advocate for ‘family values’ being caught there soliciting…hypocrisy much? Let me guess Abby, you also don’t believe anyone can be born homosexual right?

            • Abby

              Once again who is a “trans person”?
              There are hypocrites everywhere no matter where you are.
              You are correct, I believe God creates every life and makes them either male or female.

            • Abby

              No hypocrisy.
              Simple:
              1) God is the Creator of human life
              2) He created male and female. No in between.
              3) I want to protect my children from the degradation of morals in our society.
              I’m sorry, I have nothing to admit other than that.

            • Ginger

              That’s the definition of prejudice. You are saying because God didn’t create transgender, than those people are morally wrong and need to be ostracized so you can protect you children. You are prejudice. But instead of admitting it, you say it’s a safety issue, you are a hypocrit.

            • mel

              Abby.. What about Hermaphodites? They are born with both Male & Female parts. So if God didn’t create them, where did they come from? Anyway, I just came from Target. I had to tinkle, so instead of waiting til I got home, I decided to venture into the restroom. Guess what? Men weren’t lining up to take a peek.

              • Amy

                Me 2!

    • Kathy

      Not fear mongering here, where are we going to draw the line? Adam and Eve, male and female… people may try and identify as the opposite sex but on the inside they will always be what they were born to be regardless of how many surgeries they have or hormones they take. For the record, I do not believe that a woman trying to be a man or dressing like one should be allowed in a mens bathroom with little boys either.

      • Abby

        👍🏼

      • mel

        So the woman who’s trying to be a man, dresses like a man, should use the WOMAN’s restroom???? Isn’t this what this whole ordeal is about? so the “man” walks into the woman’s restroom and freaks all the women out? Ok then!

        • Abby

          We are asking target to create a single stall unisex bathroom for those who choose to be that way.

  9. Irene

    That’s awesome, thx Collin ( for the deals)

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      YW! 😉

  10. Dawn

    Collin, please help us who are interested in your wonderful deals that you work so hard to provide for us. I would never have heard about 90% of the deals you post on freebies, coupons, sales, etc. I for one, only want to read helpful comments about the deals you post. Lately, when a Target deal is posted, the comments turn ugly. This not the place to discuss Target’s bathroom policy. It’s wishful thinking I guess to ask people to refrain from the negative comments. I will just have to avoid clicking on the comment section when Target deals are posted. I am very disappointed in the courtesy of some to not follow Collin’s request to keep comments posted in a respectful manner. Thank you again Collin for all your time and efforts. 💗

    • Laura

      I second that. Thank you Collin.

    • Jessica

      Thank you Dawn! I totally agree! This is not the place to be discussing Targets new policy!

    • Barb

      Thank you and I totally agree. I don’t want to read opinions about Target’s bathroom policy while I was trying to add a comment about the cookies. FYI – When I went to my Super Target in Plano, TX today, they already is offering the $5 card WYB5 so I stocked up (again)! Thanks Collin for all your deals.

  11. Li

    I don’t trust anyone with my kids. Male or female. I stay with my kids in any restroom. Their is the family restroom…I wonder why they don’t just turn that one into the one open for all genders. This whole thing is scary, I’m a small person (105 lbs) I could easily be over powered. I will continue to avoid public bathrooms, like I always do.

    • Abby

      Yes! A unisex single bathroom would be the perfect compromise!

    • Nick

      Yeah because separate but equal has worked perfectly in the past… 😒

      • Karis

        Of course! Segregating an entire group of people for being different has always worked exceedingly well throughout history…

        *heavy sarcasm*

        • Faith

          Um, it is their choice, no one is forcing then to be unnatural.

  12. Jocelyn

    Target is a place to shop. I am simply their customer/guest. Target is free to set their price and policy. If i don’t like it’s price or policy, i have the choice not to shop or buy. However, it is not my peragatory to tell target how to set its price or policy. Just my 2c!

  13. Kimmy

    All this “boycotting” of target sure didn’t stop my target from being cleared of the oral b 4 pack toothbrushes or the Colgate mouthwash. Boycotters means more deals for me in the future ;))

    • couponmarsha27

      👌Same @ my target and I’m loving it!!

  14. Linda

    With all these news stories that link transgender people as criminals or use this incident to suggest that it will set precedence for future crimes such as men videotaping in the women’s restrooms and men attacking women, people forget that those crimes have been committed well before this incident occurred and may continue regardless of whether or not transgender people should be allowed to use the men’s or women’s restrooms. Criminals are criminals. Criminals should be punished according to the law. However, transgender does not automatically translate to criminal. Just because someone is transgender does not mean he/she is a criminal. People who use this incident as a gateway to commit crimes are purely criminal.

    Additionally, people forget that transgender is not just male-to-female. It is also female-to-male. If women are allowed to use the men’s restrooms, why shouldn’t men be allowed to use the women’s restrooms? Who cares if they are transgender or not? If you say that God made us who we are, then what makes you think that God didn’t make transgender or gay people the way they are? Blind faith is scary, whether be it religion, political beliefs, or any other inflexible beliefs.

  15. YODA

    Can someone create a separate post for Bathroom issue? This is a cookie deal…saving money NOT camping in the stinking bathroom.

  16. wendy

    I am a woman and I tested Target’s new bathroom policy out last Thursday. I was dressed like a woman, and I asked if I could use the men’s bathroom because I said ” I feel like a man today.” The manager said go ahead. It’s the gender you identify with. So the men that use the women’s bathroom don’t have to be dressed like a women. Therefore they don’t have to be transgender. They’re a lot of creeps out there, and this is just giving them an opportunity to prey on our children. Wait till some man exposes himself to some little girl and scares her for life.

    • Abby

      Woah!

  17. Geo

    For those of you who are against transgender-inclusive policies, your boycott should be a lot bigger than Target. You’ve got more than 400 companies to stop supporting, and in fact you won’t be able to read this message if your Internet is provided by AT&T, Comcast, or Time Warner. Realistically, you won’t be boycotting all those companies because you don’t even realize their policies. In fact, Target’s policy isn’t new; it was just overtly reiterated. The good news is your continued patronage of all the companies with transgender-inclusive policies will help foster a culture that accepts and respects transgendered people.

    • Geo

      Do you know the site you’re linking to? Taken directly from their “About Us” page: “This should go without saying, but everything on this website is purely for entertainment purposes. We are in no way affiliated, or trying to look like we are affiliated with any local news station”

      You should be ashamed.

    • W

      Fake story, stop spreading lies

    • Mel

      This story is false, and there are several other stories on Target’s FB visitor posts that aren’t current, they go back a year or so.

  18. Cat Graves

    Question regarding the deal: Can you rollover gift cards? Meaning, if I earn a $5 gift card, in another transaction can I use that $5 gift card for another gift card earning purchase?

  19. Kate

    My store has tags with this deal already and I believe the deal started a week or two weeks ago (I forgot the exact date on the tag)and ends on May 14. I was able to do this deal yesterday and got my $5 gift card.
