Target Sets Dates for Circle Week 2025, Promises 2024 Prices on Select Items
Yet another Prime Day sale.
Amazon recently revealed the dates of its annual Prime Day sale and now all of the other retailers have started piling on. Alongside a Walmart announcement this morning, Target has joined the fray with official dates for its 2025 Circle Week sale.
Target Circle Week is an annual sales event that the retailer has held consistently around the same time as Prime Day over the last few years. This year the discounts will be starting on July 6 and will run through July 12. That runs over the Amazon Prime Day sale, which will start on July 8 and end before Circle Week on July 11.
Circle Week is available to all shoppers with a Target Circle membership, which is free to sign up for. The paid version of the subscription, Target Circle 360, will grant members access to the sale a day early on July 5.
What to Expect From Target Circle Week 2025
Alongside the Circle Week announcement, Target has also offered up a the promise of 2024 prices on certain back-to-school items. These are things like crayons, colored pencils, notebooks, and folders that will all be less than $20. However, those are the only products the recent press releases has confirmed for the sale. To get an idea of what deals to expect outside of basic school supplies, we have to look at the best discounts from Circle Week 2024 to start making guesses. Target already has a Circle Week landing page set up, but it is currently only offering early deals on various grocery essentials. Last year, Target revealed a preview of Circle Week deals about a week before the actual event. The list of discounts focused heavily on popular brands like LEGO, Dyson, and Keurig with discounts up to 50% on select items. It also had discounts on summer clothing, home decor, and skincare brands that are only available at Target. In addition to the ongoing deals during the event, Target will usually do a Deal of the Day during the sale. This is usually where you'll find the biggest savings, so even if you don't plan on shopping the broader sale, it's worth checking back daily to see what new price drop the retailer has on offer. Due to its intentional proximity to Amazon Prime Day, the question of which store to shop is completely valid. In terms of overall discounts, Amazon usually has its competitors beat on most big ticket items. This list includes things like Apple products, TVs, headphones, and video games. However, Target will usually offer exclusive discounts on brands that Amazon just doesn't have. So in most cases, Amazon is the better sale to shop, but if you're looking for something only at Target it's not really a competition. Target will also likely price match a lot of deals Amazon offers during its own sale, so you'll likely want to wait to shop the Circle Week discounts until Prime Day officially kicks off on July 8. If you don't have an Amazon Prime membership, taking advantage of these auxiliary sales can be a great way to save money without the need for a paid monthly subscription.Should you shop at Amazon instead?
