TARGET has promised to slash prices on merchandise a second time this holiday season.
With Halloween only days away and Black Friday not long after, shoppers nationwide are searching for the best deals.

The retail giant is answering that desire with continued reductions on more than 2,000 items, “including food and beverages, everyday essentials, holiday gifts and items to prep the home for the holidays,” per a Tuesday press release.
Customers can expect significant savings on everything they need for holiday preparations, especially Christmas.
There are also sales on everyday items needed as it gets cooler during the winter months.
Target noted that bath towels, beauty products, beverages, board games, cookies, cold medicine, cough medicine, frozen vegetables, ice cream, snacks, toilet paper, and more could feature cost reductions.
It also emphasized that the reductions are on top of its “everyday low prices,” which it routinely makes changes to depending on the market.
Discounts on over 5,000 items were previously announced in May for summer, which Target said saved shoppers “millions of dollars” this year already.
That mark was surpassed soon afterward for a total of 8,000 price cuts on merchandise in 2024.
With the additional 2,000, that brings the total to a whopping 10,000 items at Target with price reductions.
FUNDS FOR FAMILY
Rick Gomez, executive vice president and chief commercial officer at Target, emphasized that the retailer’s discounts are part of its mission to help families celebrate “without compromise.”
“We know families are excited to celebrate the holidays, so Target is committed to helping them find joy without compromise — with great products across our assortment at even lower prices,” Gomez said in Tuesday’s release.
“From meal prep and gifting to everyday needs, Target’s offering the kind of exceptional value that’ll make it even easier for everyone to save money as they embrace the magic of the season.”
Parents looking to get their children some popular toys can also do so with what Target calls its “largest holiday assortment ever” this year.
Over half of the selection is under $20, with $5 and $10 options from top brands that can fit most shoppers’ budgets.
Most stores and the Target website and mobile application already have deals going on right now for toys.

The LEGO Technic 2022 Ford GT Model Car Set is only $95.99 after an original listing of $119.99.

A Bluey Fire Truck is also $19.99, down from $24.99.
Kitchen items, pet essentials, and cold and flu relief also feature similar discounts.
While the reductions on thousands of products will likely appeal to many Americans, an ex-Target executive has warned that consumers are “running out of money” this year.
“They’re increasingly stressed by inflation and the exhaustion of their pandemic-era savings,” Gerald Storch, former Vice Chairman at Target, told Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo in a recent conversation.
Storch added that the current economic conditions could make it a “weak Christmas” for retailers like Target.
