Target Circle Week is the best time to shop Target deals, and no, we're not kidding. This twice-a-year savings event is when you can find the most Target Circle offers happening at once — online, in store, or via the app. You just have to be a member of the free program to claim the sale prices. And don't worry, we’ve got lots of reasons why you should sign up for Target Circle if you haven’t already.

Here's everything to know about Target Circle Week, including when it'll return, best deals we've seen, and more.

Download The Krazy Coupon Lady app and sign up for the Target Circle Week notifications in our brand new free Deal Planner. You can also set notifications for Target's Deal of the Day, so you'll get an alert every morning when these sales return.

Target Circle Week is a twice-a-year, one-week sale for members of Target's free loyalty program.

This is Target’s answer to Amazon Prime Day. For a week in July (and a week in October), members of Target Circle (which is free to join) get special access to discounts on all of Target’s store brands, plus some of their most popular national brands like Lenovo, Dyson, and Keurig. 

If you choose a paid Target Circle 360 subscription, you'll get same-day delivery with Shipt, with no delivery fees on orders of $35 or more. During Target Circle Week, you typically can sign up for a new Target Circle 360 subscription for just $49 for the first year (regularly $99).

KCL predicts that Target Circle Week will return July 6, 2025.

Target Circle Week — July 2025

We predict that we will see the week of savings return on Sunday, July 6, 2025. The sale will last seven days.

How did we make our prediction?

Target usually runs their Target Circle Week promotion around the same time as Amazon Prime Day, which is predicted for mid-July 2024.

Here are the past start dates of the Circle Week sale:

Sunday, Oct. 6, 2024 Sunday, July 7, 2024 Sunday, April 7, 2024 (this coincided with the launch of Target’s new Rewards program, so we're considering it a one-off sale) Sunday, Oct. 1, 2023 Sunday, July 9, 2023 Monday, July 11, 2022 Sunday, June 20, 2021

Target Circle Week deals include 30% off select Lego sets, 50% off kitchen appliances, and more.

During the July 2024 Target Circle Week sale, we saw deals on toys, clothing, back-to-school items, and more.

Here were the deals worth shopping during Target Circle Week in October 2024:

Target's Deal of the Day overlaps during Circle Week.

The Target Deal of the Day means 1-day deals exclusively for free Target Circle members. During Target Circle Week, a new deal drops every morning. Worried you'll miss it? Download the free Krazy Coupon Lady app and use our Deal Planner to set up notifications for Target's DOTD every morning when it returns.

Look for Target's toy coupon during Target Circle Week.

In October 2023, if you spent at least $50 on toys, you’d get $10 off. In October 2024 during Circle Week, you could spend $40 on select toys and save $10, or get $20 off $75. We are predicting a similar toy deal during July.

Get a free $15 Target gift card with a $50 Ulta at Target purchase.

You'll have the chance to save on Ulta Beauty at Target during Circle Week. If you spend $50 or more on eligible Ulta at Target purchases, you’ll get a $15 Target gift card.

In July 2024, there was a "spend $40 on Ulta, get a $10 gift card value" (increased from a $5 gift card offer).

KCL TIP: Link your Target Circle account and your Ulta Beauty account to double up on earnings. You’ll earn Ulta Rewards points on your purchase.

Target Circle members get a bonus reward to use on their purchases.

For example, I received a $15 reward on qualifying purchases of $120 or more in the Target app, but other KCL readers had a $15 reward on a $115 purchase or a $10 reward on $90 purchases.

To find your reward, tap on Target Circle offers in the Target app and scroll past the offers to see your Target Circle Bonus. And don’t forget to tap “Activate bonus” to take advantage of your reward.

Pay with your Target Circle Card for an extra 5% off all the limited-time deals.

Want to get an easy 5% off every purchase at Target, even on top of Circle offers, sale prices, and coupons? Choose from a Target Circle Card credit or debit card. I definitely recommend the debit card version. It connects to your checking account and works like a regular debit card, but it only works at Target.

Plus, you’ll get free 2-day shipping on all your orders with a Circle Card. Without the Circle Card, you'd need to spend at least $35 to get free 2-day shipping.

Get your Circle Week deals the same day with free Target pickup and Drive Up.

You can also grab your Circle Week haul on the same day with free Target pickup options. If you place an order online or in the app, you can use Target Drive Up (aka curbside) or pick up your items in the store.

Target doesn’t have a minimum order requirement for pickup orders, so if you’re not hitting that $35 free shipping threshold on Target.com, store pickup is a great (and speedy) way to save.

Ask for a price match within 14 days of your Target Circle Week purchase if you find a better deal.

Target won’t price match Amazon Lightning Deals or Amazon Fresh Exclusive offers, but they do price match Amazon Prime Day deals as long as those deals aren’t just for Prime members, along with regular Amazon deals. That means if you buy something at Target during Circle Week and then find a lower price on an Amazon deal the next week, you can ask for a Target price match equal to the lower Amazon price.
