The Best Last-Minute Deals During Target’s Prime Day Alternative Sale
If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may receive an affiliate commission.
Prime Day ends tonight, and we’ve rounded up the best last-minute deals and worthwhile deals you’ll actually want to buy. Amazon has some fierce competition for the best deals from Target, which is running its own two-day event. Like Prime Day, the best Target deals are slated to end today, July 17.
This sales event follows Target’s Circle Week savings event, which wrapped up last week. Many of the best deals from that event are still on sale now, in addition to new deals we’ve spotted. While Target’s Circle week discounts were exclusive to Circle members, many of those discounts are now open to all shoppers. That sets these deals apart from Prime Day, which is mostly reserved for Prime members. Plus, unlike Prime, Target’s Circle loyalty program is free to join.
When Does Target’s 2-Day Deals Event End?
Like Prime Day, the sale started on July 16 and ends on July 17. There are big savings on tech, home and kitchen, and summer gear, as well as deals of the day.
What Are the Best Target Deals?
We rounded up some of the best deals you can score at Target today, including on tech, home and kitchen, and more. Plus, since Target is something of a one-stop shop for back-to-college needs, we’ve rounded up the best dorm deals including sleeper sofas and dorm room appliances. Many of these deals are open to all shoppers, including those without a Target Circle membership (which, again, is free to join). You can shop more of the best Target deals at Target.com here.
