Direct answerAdd the item to cart, test pickup and shipping, then choose the path where the final price stays lowest at checkout.
Target price errors are usually won or lost in the cart. The product page can be noisy, but checkout tells you what the system is actually willing to process.
Start with pickup availability
If the item is available nearby, pickup can be faster than shipping. It also reduces the window where the order sits waiting to be reviewed.
Check shipping as a backup
Sometimes the glitch only works for shipping, especially with online-only promos. If pickup fails, shipping is worth testing before giving up.
Watch the final checkout price
Target may show a low product price, then change it after a promo, gift card offer, or fulfillment option is selected. The final review screen is the number that matters.
Do not over-stack unless it is clearly supported
Coupon stacking can be powerful, but too many conflicting discounts can break the cart. If the price is already excellent, keep the checkout path simple.
After ordering, watch the status
Confirmation is good. "Ready for pickup" or "shipped" is better. Once an item moves into fulfillment, the odds of it sticking usually improve.
