During some of Target's hottest sales, like Target Circle Week or during the holiday season, they will offer Deal of the Day promotions. Many of these daily deals will only last for 24 hours. And some may even sell out before the deal period ends.

We saw the second Deal of the Day for 2024 during the July Target Circle Week. We can expect to see them again during the October Target Circle Week and continue through Christmas Eve (Dec. 24). Of course, you’ll need to have a Target Circle membership to access the Target Deal of the Day offers. And if you have a Circle Card, you'll save an extra 5%.

We’ll post every Deal of the Day right here, but you can also download The Krazy Coupon Lady app to stay on top of the best Target deals every single day.

Target's Deal of the Day promotion is offered multiple times a year.

Since 2015, Target has been running their Deal of the Day event. You'll see the Deal of the Day promotion in July and October during Target Circle Week, and as well throughout the holiday season. To access the deal, you'll need to be a Target Circle member. The deals only last 24 hours or until they sell out.

KCL predicts the next Target Deal of the Day will begin on Sunday, Oct. 6, 2024.

Target hasn’t officially announced the start date for the next Deal of the Day, but based on what they've done in recent years, we here at KCL predict that it’ll start Sunday, Oct. 6 (which should also be the start of the next Target Circle Week sale).

How did we make our prediction?

Target usually runs their Target Circle Week promotion around the same time as Amazon Prime Day. In 2023, Target held their October Target Circle Week the first week of October. If they repeat this same pattern, Target will have the Circle Week starting on Sunday, Oct. 6.

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

  • 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

How to Shop Target's Deal of the Day

1. A new Target daily deal drops every day at 2 a.m. CT.

Just like Target has done in the past, a new Target Deal of the Day goes live every morning at 2 a.m. CT. Some daily deals will sell out fast depending on the item and savings potential, so you may or may not want to set your alarm for the middle of the night.

If you’re interested in scoring the deal of the day, our best advice is to check the Target app or Target.com first thing when you wake up. Wait any longer and you might miss out!

2. Aim to save 30% – 70% with Target's Deal of the Day.

In the past, the average savings for Target’s Deal of the Day has been 50% off. However, we’ve seen discounts range anywhere from 30% to 70% off, depending on the item.

Don’t get totally thrown off if you’re not seeing deals for 70% off every day, though. Sometimes, a smaller discount is just as good if the item rarely goes on sale, or if it’s a bestselling item (like Apple products).

3. Get a price match if a competitor has a better deal within 14 days of your purchase.

The Target price matching policy is pretty awesome. For example, if you buy something at Target and find a lower price on Amazon within two weeks, you can visit Target Guest Services and show them the lower price. They’ll pay you back the difference.

Price matching is super helpful when it comes to Target’s Deal of the Day. Why? It takes the edge off some of the urgency. If there’s a hot item on sale for one day only, you can buy it without feeling totally locked in at that price. If you find a lower price a few days later, you can get a Target price match.

Keep in mind, Target will not price match Amazon Lightning Deals or other Prime-exclusive offers. Basically, if it requires an Amazon Prime login to get the offer, it’s not eligible for a price match.

4. Use your Target Circle Card for an extra 5% off the Deal of the Day.

Target’s Circle Card gives you 5% off almost everything at Target — even Black Friday sale prices, clearance items, and, most importantly, deals of the day.

You can sign up for a Target Circle Card credit or debit card, but I definitely recommend the debit card version. It connects to your checking account and works like a regular debit card but only works at Target. Plus, you’ll get free two-day shipping on all your orders.
