Summer is still going strong, but the start of a new school year is coming before you know it. To get a head start on back-to-school shopping, Target is kicking off its back-to-school deals early, with even more on the horizon.
But if you’re not ready to exit your summer mode just yet, find out when your state’s tax-free holiday is planned and wait to shop until then because it’ll be a deal bonanza at Target and other retailers for back-to-school merch. Don’t forget your 3% cash back for your online Target purchases through August 8th.
Whether you’re heading off to college, heading back to the office, gearing up to teach little ones, or getting ready to send them off on their first day of school, Target has what you need to prep for success this school year.

8 Ways To Save on Back-to-School at Target
1. Download the Target App
If you’re looking to save at Target, downloading the Target app is a must. This is the central savings hub for Target and its primary way of communicating sales and exclusive app-only savings to customers. The app is free and links to your digital wallet for convenient shopping.
2. Join the Target Circle Rewards Program
Target Circle is a free rewards program that lets you earn 1% of the total purchase price every time you shop online and in-store. Then you can use the rewards you earn toward future purchases. Target Circle also rewards shoppers with a 5% birthday discount and access to Target Circle member-only deals and offers all year.
3. Get a Target Circle Teacher Appreciation Discount
Target gives back to those who selflessly give so much by offering a 20% teacher discount on one qualifying purchase until Aug. 24th when you verify your status with Target Circle. The discount is available for:
- Teachers, staff and faculty employed at K-12 schools.
- Teachers, staff and faculty employed at colleges and universities.
- Daycare center and early childhood education teachers.
- Home-school teachers.
4. Get a Target Circle College Student Appreciation Discount
If you’re a college student, you get a 20% discount on one qualifying purchase until Sept. 28. Just verify your student status with Target Circle and voilà, you’ll have your Target discount.
5. Sign Up for a Target RedCard
Target has two versions of its RedCard: a traditional credit card and a debit card. The first option means you’re applying for a credit card with a credit check and specific qualifications.
Meanwhile, the second option is using your existing debit or checking account. Your RedCard links to your bank account and functions as a debit-only card. This is a great option for those who would like to avoid more credit cards but would still like the 5% discount on every purchase — in-store and online — and many other perks.
6. Check Target’s Weekly Ad
Unlike retailers like Hobby Lobby with predictable sale cycles, Target likes to mix it up and keep you on your toes. Besides checking your Target Circle offers, look over the weekly ad for additional sales and seasonal savings events online every Sunday. You can sign up to receive Target’s weekly ad or you can browse in-app or on Target’s website.
7. Get the RetailMeNot Deal Finder Extension
RetailMeNot’s Deal Finder is the easiest way to save at not only Target but with every online retailer with eligible promo codes and online coupons. Just download and install the free browser extension and activate the code at checkout to have eligible coupons automatically applied to your cart. Deal Finder also lets you earn cash back for your online purchases.
