Ahead of Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale — which officially goes live on Oct. 11 — Target is hosting its second Deal Days event. The event, a response to Amazon’s second super sale of the year, runs through Oct. 8, offering savings on popular categories from tech and fitness equipment to skin care and home goods. And while Amazon’s second Prime Day-like event is only open to Prime members, everyone can access Target’s October Deal Days savings to help kick off early Black Friday deals ahead of the holiday shopping season.
SKIP AHEAD Target Deal Days sales | Alternative Prime Day sales at other retailers
This is Amazon’s first time hosting a second sale after Prime Day, and several retailers — like Target — are launching their own counter sales in response with equally noteworthy deals. Though Target’s sale will take place before Amazon’s mega sale, the retailer said shoppers can also expect discounted products in the months ahead — Target even extended its Holiday Price Match Guarantee this year to run from Oct. 6 to Dec. 24, which means purchases made starting today will qualify for a price adjustment if the Target price goes any lower during that time frame.
To help you make the most of the fleeting shopping holiday, we compiled some of the best deals and sales live on Target now. We also highlighted other notable current and upcoming counter sales from retailers like Bed Bath & Beyond and Walmart.
The best deals during Target Deal Days
Below, we’re sharing the best Target deals based on our previous coverage and reporting. To ensure the quality of each deal, we’re running deals through price trackers like CamelCamelCamel and Honey — each product is at its lowest price in at least three months
Apple Watch Aluminum Series 7
Lowest price ever
The Apple Watch Aluminum Series 7 offers both a built-in GPS system to track your runs or walks and cellular service so you can use it even when you're away from your phone.

The watch is also water-resistant up to 50 meters and boasts 20% more screen area on its Retina display than the Series 6 watch, Apple says. The Series 7 watch comes in two sizes — 41mm and 45mm — and five colors, including blue, green and gray.
