Black Friday Target: Apple Watch effective prices start at $232 thanks to free Gift Cards and REDcard savings, more

Target has launched a selection of its Black Friday sales early, yielding season low prices on some of Apple’s hottest products when you take into account free gift cards and REDcard savings (extra 5%). The two biggies are:

Apple Watch Sport starts at $349 and comes with a free $100 Target Gift Card. Use your REDcard to save an additional 5% and your effective net cost is just $231.55. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen on new Apple Watches. Target will throw in the free gift card on any in-stock Apple Watch.

Also, Target is including a free $80 Gift Card with iPad Mini 2 (prices start at $269). Again, taking into account the free gift card and REDcard savings, your effective price is just $175.55 shipped.  Walmart still offers it for $199 outright if you don’t want to deal with the gift card.

Looking for a full-size Apple tablet? iPad Air starts at $399 but $100 Gift card, and 5% REDcard savings = $279.05 Shipped. iPad Air 2 starts at $499-$100 Gift Card = $399 -5% = $374.05.

Also as mentioned this weekend, Target marks down iPod Touch to $159 (40% off) in 16GB size and knocks off $60 off the price of the 64GB in all colors.
