I’ve been covering Target Deal Days for over two years – you don’t want to miss these early deals

Target Circle Deal Days is almost here, offering discounts across categories like home, kitchen, bedding and more, from October 6 to 7. With that said, there are already early deals worth shopping on the site. While these deals are open to the public, access to deals from the official sale will require a Target Circle membership, which is free, or a Target Circle 360 membership, which costs $99 a year.I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a commerce editor for NBC Selected, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. Below, I rounded up the best early deals ahead of fall Target Circle Deal Days, which is happening at the same time as Prime Big Deal Days. All of the deals are highly rated and at least 20 percent off. I’ll frequently update this list with newly added deals throughout Target’s event.Selected.Our top picksBest bedding dealLearn moreBest kitchen dealLearn moreWant more from NBC Selected?
