Prime Day is the No. 1 sale on our radar during July, but Target’s Circle Week looks to be a very close second. It runs through Saturday, July 13, and I’ve found excellent deals on everything from sundresses to best-in-class serums to pool toys. In addition to all the weeklong savings, there’s a rotating Deal of the Day. Target is also offering gift cards when you spend a certain amount in select categories. For example, if you spend $50 on home necessities like toilet paper and laundry soap, Target will send you a $15 gift card.
There is one small catch: You need to be a Target Circle member to shop. That just requires you to sign up with your email address (though I also recommend adding your phone number, as you can enter that at checkout when you shop in person to rack up points on your purchases). Don’t worry, it’s totally free!
Now, onto the deals. It’s no secret that the Strategist loves Target — we’ve written an entire guide to shopping the retailer here. I also reported on Circle Week last year, so I know what deals are truly good and how to find the best ones. Below, I’ve grouped the deals into categories, from clothing and beauty to tech and kids’ toys.
Best Clothing Deals
Hundreds of tees, tanks, shorts, and dresses are all 30 percent off, including the now-even-cheaper “perfect summer shirtdress,” according writer Diksha Basu.
Best Beauty & Personal-Care Deals
The deals on skin care are much better than they were last year. I found plenty of drugstore products from several of our best-in-class guides for 20 percent off, including dark-spot correctors, anti-aging serums, and sunscreens. And if you spend over $40 on select products from the Ulta aisle, Target will credit a $10 gift card to your account.
Best Bedding & Bath Deals
We love the bedding and bath linens from Target’s in-house lines, Threshold and Casaluna, which feel much more expensive than their price tags. (The $35 sheet set I’ve linked below is one of the most-purchased products by Strategist readers.) I’m also eyeing the dinosaur plushie that our sleep writer says is better than a weighted blanket.
Best Home Décor & Furniture Deals
I’m most excited about the home section, where lots of nice tchotchkes, storage solutions, and accent rugs are around 20 to 30 percent off. I’d suggest checking out all the cute décor from Magnolia, since it rarely goes on sale.
Best Kitchen Deals
There aren’t as many kitchen deals as I was expecting, but I am happy to see quite a few big-ticket appliances on sale. My top pick: a toaster oven/air fryer that’s very similar to one we recommended in our best-in-class air fryer guide, now only $100.
Best Tech Deals
If you’re looking for some discounted Apple products, you’re in luck. All of them are on sale. It’s also not a bad time to pick up some accessories like cords and chargers from Target’s in-house line Heyday, as everything is 30 percent off.
Best Kids’ Clothing & Accessories Deals
As in the adults’ section, kids’ clothing is 30 percent off. And for those who want to get back-to-school shopping done early this year, I also spotted quite a few cute backpacks on sale.
Best Baby Deals
The deals in the baby section are especially good. I found cute onesies from Carter’s, nursery furnishings and floating bath toys from the Strategist Baby Registry on sale.
Best Pet Deals
Now’s a good time to get some really inexpensive toys for your fluffy family members. If your pets already have plenty of toys, some necessities like shampoo and litter-box deodorizer are on sale too.
The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments, rolling luggage, pillows for side sleepers, natural anxiety remedies, and bath towels. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
