Best Target Memorial Day Sale Deals

Plenty of things are on sale, and you can shop all deals here. These deals are our editors’ favorites, whether because they’re super fun, or super practical, super discounted (or all of the above). Tip: Most sales are open to everyone, but others are exclusive to Target Circle members.

Up to 50% Off Sun Squad

Sun Squad is Target’s line of pool party and outdoor fun essentials. This line is affordable already, but 50% off doesn’t hurt for getting your summer started. For Memorial Day, everything from beach balls, to bubble solution, to chalk, to yard games is marked down.

Up to 40% Off Women’s Dresses and Skirts

When the heat kicks in, there’s nothing easier—or cooler—than throwing on a flowy dress or skirt. Target always nails it with styles that look way more expensive than they are, and with the Hello Summer sale, the deals are so good you’ll have every excuse to stock your closet.

20% Off Treats, 40% Off Soda, BOGO 20% Off Ground Beef & More

Through May 26, get Favorite Day treats for 20% off; two bags of Frito-Lay party-size chips for $9; 40% off when you buy three 12-pack sodas with Target Circle; and plenty more deals for your backyard party and cooler. S’more essentials (graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate) are on sale as well.

Up to 63% Off Portable Mini Grills

Whether you plan to camp this summer or plan to enjoy the outdoors from your tiny patio, a small table-top grill can give you the summer joy of a cookout in a petite package. Target is offering up to 50% off grills (but we found a Costway Heavy Duty Cast Iron Tabletop Grill marked 63% off) and accessories, and its deals really shine on the small grills, which can easily be taken along for your next beach day or enjoyed on your own balcony. If you prefer a larger grill, those are on sale as well.

Up to 50% Off Fire Pits Galore

Fire pits really bring a party together, and Target’s Memorial Day sale offers savings on large fire pits, as well as little table-top ones. A fire pit can make a party more affordable by making the food more affordable. Just supply some sausages, grill-able veggies and s’more ingredients, and your guests will be thrilled. Some fire pits have removable inserts so that they can double as a drink holder AND a fire pit.

Up to 30% Off Outdoor Lighting

Don’t have the budget to totally revamp your patio? Fun outdoor lighting (unique string lights, lanterns and solar lights) is an affordable way to up the ambiance without spending much.

43% Off Folding Adirondack Chairs

Durable and decorative, Adirondack chairs are great for fire pit and poolside lounging. Target has one of the better deals we’re seeing on Adirondack chairs this Memorial Day, thanks to this deal, which brings the chairs down to under $70.
