Target typically releases previews of its big sales ahead of time, giving you the opportunity to plan your purchases strategically. This year, Target will also bring back its Deal of the Day, featuring 40 percent+ off select items from well-known brands like Sun Bum, Igloo, and Crocs.

– Use price comparison tools, like Paypal Honey and Google Shopping, to ensure you’re getting the best deal available.

Focus on High-Value Categories

Target Circle Deal Days presents an ideal opportunity to stock up on everyday essentials, prepare for back-to-school, and snag great gifts. But not all deals are created equal, so prioritize purchases that offer the biggest bang for your buck.

– Look for big-ticket items like electronics.

– Stock up for school and dorm supplies from brands like JanSport backpacks, Threshold bedding and writing tools from BIC and Sharpie.

– Keep an eye out for beauty and wellness discounts on your favorite brands.

– Shop for your favorite cleaning supplies and fashion basics.

Diligence is Key

Popular items tend to go fast during the sale, so shop early and act quickly when you see a deal you want, and don’t forget to keep an eye out for restocks and surprise flash deals that pop up throughout the week. With Circle Week discounts available in-store, on Target.com, and via the Target app, there are multiple ways to shop and secure your favorite items before they sell out.

– Set a reminder for the first day of the sale to snag the best deals as early as possible.

– Check the Deal of the Day items first thing each day for unique, limited-time offers that provide even more savings.

– Look for your favorite products online if your local Target store runs out of stock.

Stack Savings and Check for Extra Perks

One of the best features of Target Circle Week is the ability to stack discounts. You can use manufacturer coupons and gift card promotions alongside Target Circle deals throughout the sale. Plus, you can pay with a Target RedCard to get an extra 5 percent off!
