The Target Memorial Day Sale is one of the best times of the year to grab summer essentials on the cheap — think swimwear, apparel, ground beef, and more. You’ll even spot a few solid toy deals during the event, with some marked as much as 50% off. And here’s where things get good: Your Circle Card discount stacks right on top of sale prices, and Target Circle offers can turn a decent deal into a total steal.
And like many other retailers (Amazon's Memorial Day sale is already live), Target kicked things off early, with Target's Memorial Day sale starting on Sunday, May 18 online and in-stores. Looking ahead, Target stores WILL be open on Memorial Day 2025 (Monday, May 26) during regular hours, if you plan on shopping that day.
