Want more deals? Visit CNN Underscored’s?Guide to Prime Day?for wall-to-wall coverage of the best discounts to be found during Amazon’s massive sale.
The best part about?Prime Day?is that Amazon isn’t the only retailer getting in on the savings action (the sale ends tonight!). I’ve been scouting the best products out there for nearly a decade, so I can attest to the fact that the Prime Day competitor sales have gotten quite robust over the years. Let’s just say that Amazon has some steep competition now.
Behind Amazon, I’d say Target is the retailer I’ve covered the most during my career — from deals to the store’s latest Magnolia home decor drops or designer fashion collabs — so I know what products from Target are worth spending your precious dollars on. While Target got ahead of the sale extravaganza with its Circle Week sale, which ended on July 13, the retailer decided to surprise us with a 2-Day Deals sale that kicked off yesterday and ends tonight! So, if you see something you like (at Target or Amazon!), make sure to add it to your cart before it’s too late.
Below, I’ve curated my favorite 40 deals to shop during Target’s 2-Day Deals event, including some of my favorite brands like Dyson, KitchenAid, Nespresso and Ninja. The rest of my team is also covering other stores offering unbeatable deals during Prime Day, so make sure to check in with us for the competing deals happening at a variety of other retailers that are actually worth shopping. Psst: I’m covering Walmar’s and Wayfair’s Prime Day-alternative sales too, so make sure to check those out.
