We're halfway to the weekend (yay!), but that also means we're halfway through Target Circle Week (boo!). Target kicked off its major sale on Sunday and it runs through Saturday, March 29, so you have four more days to shop, including today. Have you checked it out yet? You can save up to 50% on spring fashion, outdoor furniture, home essentials and more.
However, one important detail: This sale is for Target Circle members only. Target Circle is the retailer's free-to-join membership program, and if you're not a member, it only takes five minutes to sign up. As a Target Circle member, you'll get access to exclusive sales (like this one) and bonus savings throughout the year. Basically, if you're a weekly Target shopper, it will save you plenty of money in the long run.
You may have heard of Target Circle Week before. The retailer started it a few years ago, essentially as the retailer's version of Amazon Prime Day. That means you can probably expect to see another event like this pop up in the summertime and around Black Friday. This time around, however, it seems Target Circle Week will rival Amazon's Spring Sale (which kicked off on March 25).
In addition to offering major markdowns across all shopping categories, Target will also bring back its Deal of the Day, offering extremely low prices on one to two items each day of the sale. As the name suggests, these deals will only last for 24 hours, so you'll want to snag them fast.
For the first time, Target is partnering with NBC's streaming platform, Peacock, and offering all Target Circle members a free three-month Peacock Premium membership. If you're a member, you'll have all week to take advantage of the deal and watch your favorite shows from NBC, Bravo, USA Network and more (even live sports!).
Now, you've heard of the free Target Circle membership, but Target Circle 360 membership is the big kahuna. This paid program offers members free same-day delivery from their local Target and free two-day shipping on orders over $35. It also grants you early access to Target Circle Week. As a Target Circle 360 member, you can access the deals one full day before everyone else, on March 22.
Not a 360 member but want to be? Target will be offering a deal on its paid membership too. Sign up between March 16 and March 29, and you'll get 50% off the annual membership fee. It's regularly $99 a year, so that will bring it down to $49.50 (or $4.13 per month).
Whether you're a free Target Circle member or a paid Target Circle 360 member, get ready to save. Take a look at some of the best popular and seasonal finds on Target's website and shop some of our favorite early markdowns below.
Your stained carpets and upholstery are no match for the Little Green Max. Bring couches, rugs, curtains and more back to that "fresh from the factory" feel. Just fill one of the tanks with a mix of water and cleaning solution, turn it on and use the hose to start scrubbing away stains and other messes. The dirty water goes into a separate detachable tank that you can easily dump out in the sink.
Now, you've probably seen another version of this machine — the traditional Little Green. The Max offers superior suction, comes with a pet hair tool, has a larger water tank (yet weighs about a pound less) and comes with the brand's Pet Pro cleaning formula.
One shopper explained: "This awesome Little Green Max machine is perfect for those moments you don't need to pull out the big rug cleaner. Easy to put together, fill and use within minutes. Easy to put away and stores without much of a footprint. The long cord is really convenient, easy to fill wide mouth on the tank, easy to use wand and great powerful suction for the messes."
Cuddle up in these soft, breathable and durable sheets while they're 25% off in a wide range of colors. They fit mattresses up to 18 inches thick, and each set comes with a flat sheet, fitted sheet and two pillowcases (one if you're ordering a twin or twin XL size). They're also wrinkle-, pill- and stain-resistant.
"We've purchased many different sizes and colors of [these]. Every time, they're a hit," said one buyer. "They wash and wear so well, they only get softer with time! Will continue to purchase these in the future!"
If you're sick of squinting to see your little television, it's time to splurge on a better TV. This 55-inch beauty from Vizio is 20% off. It comes equipped with all the streaming apps already built in and offers exceptional motion clarity — ideal for movies, sports and game lovers.
"This is our second Vizio smart TV purchase in 10 years. My husband and I wanted a newer model since our older model doesn't have the WatchFree + option," explained a Vizio loyalist. "Our older model still works great. We hope our newest model continues to work just as well for many years to come. The setup was easy and we have been enjoying movies on it."
If your Swiffer just isn't cutting it, this bestselling kid- and pet-safe steam mop can remove new and old stuck-on messes. Just turn it on, let it heat up and glide it over floors. It uses the power of steam to naturally clean and disinfect as its mop pads spin and scrub.
"Very thorough in cleaning, even the harder-to-reach places," said a shopper. "I appreciated the various settings for different flooring. I also liked that it is semi-automatic, lightweight and could somewhat self-propel — less work to get the job done!"
Need a new carry-on for spring break? This hardside suitcase has four spinner wheels, a front pocket to protect a laptop or tablet and plenty of room inside for a long weekend trip. It's 20% off in black, but also in chocolate brown and light blue if you don't want your bag to look like everybody else's.
Now, this bag is new to Target and comes from the retailer's own travel line, Open Story. We're surprised with it being a new release that they've already marked it down!
Homemade ice cream tastes better than anything you'll find in the frozen aisle at the grocery store. That's because, like most foods, the fresher it is, the better. Score the Ninja Creami while it's $30 off, but also get a free $20 Target gift card with your purchase to use towards another order.
Our tech editor, Rick Broida, put the Creami to the test and said, "There's a certain mad-scientist joy that comes from creating or discovering a delicious recipe. I think it's especially great for the health-minded, as it affords total control over your ingredients (unlike the pints you buy at the store)." Check out his full review for more.
Wake up to fresh coffee or espresso with Nespresso's VertuoPlus machine, which makes it super easy to brew. One button brews up to four different sizes of java. Once it's done, it automatically disposes of your pod by sliding it into an attached container, which you can empty once it's full (it holds up to 10 used capsules). This one, made in collaboration with Joanna Gaines' Target brand, Hearth & Hand with Magnolia, is extra pretty.
"If my mornings had a soundtrack, it would be the sweet hum of my Nespresso VertuoPlus working its magic," wrote a poetic reviewer. "This machine is pure wizardry — pop in a pod, press a button, and voilà! A rich, velvety cup of coffee or espresso appears, making me feel like I have my own personal barista (minus the awkward small talk). The crema? Heavenly. The ease of use? Foolproof. The design? So sleek in white, it's basically kitchen décor."
A T-shirt dress is a must-have for spring and summer. They're breathable, easy to dress up or down and just so comfy. Score this one for just $14 in a wide range of colors — you may even be tempted to get more than one.
"I liked this so much I bought it in two more colors! I’m 5’2, and it’s long but doesn’t touch the floor. Super comfortable and cute," said a customer.
