It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The weather is starting to cool down, which means we’re nearly to the holiday season and the end of another year. But before we get ahead of ourselves, there’s still plenty to celebrate in the meantime. The best shopping events start in the next few weeks—sales like Target’s Circle Week are back and will be in full force beginning on October 1 and lasting until October 7. The sale runs before Amazon’s Second Prime Day, so you don’t have to shop two large deal events simultaneously. Ahead, learn everything you need to know about Target’s highly anticipated sale, which many are calling Target Prime Day.

When Is Target Circle Week 2023?

Get ready to save big from October 1 until October 7. This year, Target is blessing us with a full week to shop thousands of deals. Take advantage of markdowns on Halloween costumes and fall decor. And, if you need essentials like diapers or cleaning supplies, those will be on sale, too. There will even be special offers from Shipt, Ulta Beauty at Target, and Tripadvisor.

“Our guests have told us how much they love Target Circle Week, so we’re going big this October with savings across our assortment, new offers from partners, and deals that deliver on affordable joy,” Cara Sylvester, executive vice president and chief guest experience officer at Target, said in a press release. “Mark your calendars, Circle members, because this is the perfect time to save on your favorite items and discover new favorites, too. We can’t wait to celebrate with you online, in our stores, or through our industry-leading same-day services like Drive Up, Order Pickup, and same-day delivery with Shipt.”

But there’s just one catch. These deals are exclusively for Target Circle members. Not familiar with the program? It’s the retailer’s free-to-join loyalty program that earns you savings. If you need to join, it’s free, easy, and quick to register. So, what are you waiting for?

Does Target Price Match Amazon Prime Day Deals?

Target is dedicated to providing their consumers with the best shopping experience possible. That’s why if you find a better deal at another retailer, Target will price match it—even during Circle Week.

How Do You Sign Up for Target Circle?

Like we mentioned above, to shop Target Prime Day, you have to be a Target Circle member. But don’t worry if you’re not part of the crew yet. It’s easy to sign up, and the best part is It’s free. Here’s how it works: Head to Target’s page to join. After you register with your information, you’ll gain access to pages of deals, Target Circle partnerships, community support votes, a birthday gift (5 percent off one purchase, valid for 30 days), and one percent in earnings.
