So many ways to save

If you’re looking to kick off holiday shopping ASAP, Target Circle Week from Oct. 6-12 is a great start. Our popular seven-day event is back with big deals on picks to help with your holiday prep, fall favorites, everyday essentials and more. Plus, Target’s popular Deal of the Day is back too, with new one-day-only deals each day of Target Circle Week. One-day deals also return Nov. 1 and last through the rest of the season. The best part? It’s easy and free to join Target Circle and take advantage of these deals by signing up for a membership via the Target app or Target.com. And this is just the beginning — stay tuned for even more deals, plus everyday essentials at an incredible value all season long.
