I'm a regular Target shopper, so I know a good deal when I see one — and these are the best. (Target)(Target)
Target Circle Week is here — for two more days at least. The mega sale kicked off on Sunday and runs through Saturday, July 12, and you can save on home goods, fashion, tech and more, both in stores and online. There's only one caveat: The sale is exclusive to Target Circle members. But don't worry. It's not that exclusive — anyone can become a Target Circle member, and it's free and easy to sign up.
So, what's on sale? Here are the highlights:
40% off Casaluna and Threshold bedding
Up to 40% off electronics and gaming
30% off tees, tanks and dresses for all
30% off select backpacks and school supplies
Buy two, get one free on books, movies and music
Buy one, get one 50% off select grocery items including ice cream, coffee, tea, cereal, frozen meals and more
Of course, you might have noticed the sale overlaps with Amazon Prime Day. Prime Day ends on Friday, though, so if you're not a Prime member or you missed out on any deals, there's one extra day for you to save at Target.
Additionally, you should know that Target has a paid version of its membership that gives shoppers free same-day delivery from multiple retailers via Shipt, which really comes in handy for ordering groceries and other household essentials. It's called Target Circle 360 and it costs $99 per year, but if you're a student or a teacher, you can get half off now through Sept. 13.
Now, in addition to being a shopping writer, I'm an avid Target shopper (and a paying 360 member). I know what's a good deal at Target and what's not. I've combed through the site to nix any fluff and made this list of only the best savings, so take a look at my top Target Circle Week deals to grab right now.
Vera Bradley for 75% off? Snag this bag fast. The duffel is great for overnight or weekend trips, and it's on sale in a range of colors (like this cute pepper print) and a few neutrals.
The inside is spacious, and it has a zipper closure. If you want to place it on top of your suitcase at the airport, the outside has a convenient trolley sleeve.
Wake up to fresh coffee or espresso with this easy-to-use countertop hero, our best-tested Nespresso machine of the year. One button brews up to four different cup sizes of java. Once it's done, it automatically disposes of the pod by sliding it into an attached container, which you can empty once it's full (it holds up to 10 used capsules).
This unit, made in collaboration with Joanna Gaines' Target brand, Hearth & Hand with Magnolia, is extra pretty — we love the creamy color and softly rounded edges.
This bestseller is 60% off right now. If that isn't enough of a deal, keep in mind that it's also a multitasker. With the lid on, it's a coffee table by day; take the cover off and this baby offers warmth and ambience after the sun sets.
The fire is powered by a small propane tank and external controls adjust the flame height and intensity. It comes with lava rocks for added nighttime drama and a cover for when the party's over.
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."
A highly rated Dyson for just $250? Um, yes please! This is the lowest price we're seeing (even when compared to Amazon), and it comes with a 2-year warranty and lifetime Dyson customer support for peace of mind.
These AirPods came out in September 2024, and while they look like the original AirPods, they have a few more functions. First of all, they offer personalized spatial audio with dynamic head tracking, so your tunes sound great no matter how you move. They also offer up to 30 hours of battery life with the included charging case. And, of course, they have thousands of five-star ratings, thanks to their clear, rich sound quality and convenient cord-free design that makes them easy to use and connect to any of your other Apple devices.
"Just bought the Apple AirPods 4 today and the sound quality is great compared to my previous AirPods 2nd generation," said a shopper. "I like that the stems of the AirPods 4 are shorter than my AirPods 2nd generation too."
This baby launched in March 2024, and it can turn frozen food into a hot, crispy meal fast. Of course, in addition to air-frying, it can roast, reheat and dehydrate foods. And with a 5-quart basket that's big enough to roast a whole chicken or cook a 1.5-pound bag of fries. You may never turn your oven on again (OK, or at least for a while).
Now's your chance to grab some Beats Studio Pros for over 50% off. They're wireless, noise-cancelling and offer up to 40 hours of battery life. Score them on sale in four neutral colors, including Sandstone (shown here), Black, Deep Brown and Navy.
These headphones go on sale from time to time, but you'll rarely catch them for less than this. If you have any road trips or long flights coming up, you'll be thankful when you're trying to sleep on the plane — or when your backseat passengers won't stop bickering.
This tomato red maxi (it also comes in black and a blue paisley print) will wow everyone at any upcoming barbecues or any summer weddings you've already got penciled in. Can you really go wrong with a $25 outfit that'll get that much use, especially when most dresses are so darn expensive?
The black is mostly sold out, but who cares when this wowza-red was recently restocked? And be sure to check out some of our other favorite flattering summer dresses while you're browsing.
Play your tunes at the beach or by the pool with this wireless speaker. It's from Beats, so you know the sound quality is gonna be good. It's also water-resistant (not waterproof, but still nice) and offers up to 24 hours of battery life on a full charge.
Bonus: If you're someone whose phone is constantly dying, and you want to keep the jams going, you can connect your device to the speaker with a USB-C cable to charge it back up.
These towels, a personal fave, are so soft and fluffy that they feel like towels you might find at a luxury spa. Modal is a semi-synthetic form of rayon (or viscose) made from beech tree pulp that's often used in pajamas, underwear and bed sheets because it's incredibly soft. It's also stretchy, breathable, durable, fade-resistant and super-absorbent, which makes it especially great in a bath towel.
I especially love the size — these towels are a generous 65 by 33 inches. They come in seven fade-resistant colors. I purchased white, and I only wash them with white towels and sheets, so I can't comment on fading. However, they wash well, with no shrinking or pilling.
A lot of people are switching from traditional grills to griddles. If you're thinking of making the leap, consider this Blackstone beauty while it's nearly 30% off. It's propane-powered, has a 28-inch cast-iron surface that can handle big batches for a crowd, and it's easy to clean. While you may not get the flame-grilled char of a traditional grill, some research suggests that could be a good thing for your health.
The surface has two independent heat zones to finesse your cooking. Accessory-wise, there are two side shelves for meal prep.
A good beach towel is big enough to cover your beach chair or wrap up in post-swim, but it also has to be soft and fluffy, absorbent and, of course, stylish. Show off seaside or at the pool with this reversible striped towel that comes in four colors, all for 40% off.
Made from 100% cotton terry, this towel is extra large (72 by 36 inches) and it has a loop for easy hanging.
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!"
You can use a stand mixer for just about anything, from mixing batter and kneading dough to shredding meat and mashing potatoes. If you don't have one yet or want to upgrade, grab this Target-exclusive KitchenAid mixer designed in collaboration with Joanna Gaines' Hearth & Hand with Magnolia line. It features a pretty linen stand and a 5-quart copper bowl.
When I asked Rory Halperin, our senior commerce editor for branded content, what the best thing she bought last month was, she told me it was this flowy frock. "There's nothing I love more than a comfy summer dress I can dress up or down," she says. "I bought a similar style last year at Target, so when I saw this one, I immediately snapped it up in every color (literally). The dress is soft and stretchy and super versatile — I can wear it to work with a cardigan and pair of sandals or throw on sneakers and wear it while running errands on a warm day. Bonus: It has pockets!" Extra bonus? It's on sale for a mere $15 (that's 40% off!).
Rugs are up to 40% off at Target, so this is a great time to refresh yours. This neutral rug fits into a lot of decor styles and it's made with durable polyester, so you can place it in high- or low-traffic areas.
Boost your step count from the comfort of the warm indoors with this walking pad, aka a treadmill that doesn't go over 3.8 mph. You can set it up in front of your TV to walk as you watch your favorite shows or slide it under your desk while you work from your computer. It's lightweight — 43 pounds — so it's easy to set up almost anywhere in your home.
"It's small and easy to move around," said a shopper. "I have been using it in the living room while watching TV and it took me a minute to get a hold of the balance, but it's been good since. It's not noisy at all and very easy to use."
