NEW YORK, Nov. 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — With the holiday shopping season upon us, Target is making scoring holiday savings easier than ever. Smart Shopping Expert, Trae Bodge, recently conducted a satellite media tour in partnership with Target and D S Simon media to share expert advice and gifting ideas with shoppers to help them get the biggest bang for their buck this holiday season.

The holiday shopping season at Target is underway, with the retailer offering exciting deals, everyday affordability and a touch of holiday magic, no matter how or when consumers want to shop.

Target’s popular Deal of the Day returns through December 24 with new one-day-only deals dropping every day for members of the retailer’s free-to-join Target Circle loyalty program, including gifts, home decor, tech and more.

Each week, Target will announce a new lineup of weeklong deals dropping every Sunday. On Fridays, Target’s Weekly Ad will preview the deals for the week ahead.

Target is also making Thanksgiving more affordable with a $20 Thanksgiving meal that serves four, and includes turkey, potatoes, stuffing and sides to make meal prep easy and budget-friendly.

Target recently reduced regular prices on more than 2,000 items, including food and beverages, everyday essentials, holiday gifts and items to prep the home for the holidays.
