There is no place like Target. While shopping online doesn’t evoke the same frenzy as getting lost in Bullseye’s Playground, the Target Deal Days Sale still offers an exciting excuse to browse the virtual aisles. (As if any of us ever needed an excuse to go on a quick Target run.)
The sale will run through July 13, and while it may be a direct competitor to Amazon Prime Daythe vast majority of these deals no membership required to shop. Some deals are only available to Target Circle members, but the program is free to join—and joining is worth it if you shop at Target even semi-regularly.
The WIRED Gear team tests products all year round and manually sorts hundreds of thousands of deals to make these choices. Crossed out products are not in stock or no longer discounted. U.S Amazon Prime Day Coverage Page has the latest stories, and our Shopping Tips for Prime Day will help you avoid bad deals. You can also use a 1-year WIRED subscription for $5 ($25 off) here†
Updated July 12, 2022: We’ve updated prices and links throughout, and added several Nest products, Google Pixel phones, and the Pixel Buds A series.

This is not an uncommon sale on our choose a budget carpet cleaner, so you don’t have to rush to add it to your cart. But if you’re already in the market, we think you’ll like this one for minor stains (if you have a big old house that needs a thorough cleaning, maybe go for something bigger). It is light and easy to maneuver, and the trigger for dispensing the solution is located directly on the handle. There are also separate tanks for clean and dirty water that can be removed for rinsing. This one price is aligned with Amazon†
The larger Hoover SmartWash we like is also discounted by Target, although it is cheaper at Amazon straight away.
There is a lot of clothes and shoes for sale. The selection includes options for men, women and children. It’s not limited to just shirts and pants either – you can get deals on shoes and swimwear too. Prices are displayed on the product page.
While it’s not hard to find deals on food processors around shopping holidays, this model comes in a number of unique and beautiful colors. KitchenAid mixers are popular for a reason. They are great for baking and cooking in general. While this discount is good, it’s best to wait until Black Friday to buy it if you’re determined to get the lowest price possible (possibly $200-$250).
Nothing screams “college” like one of these bad boys. These kind of pillows are never real comfortable, but they are useful for homework, bedtime reading, and movie nights. This one has a fluffy lining for extra softness.
These types of clothes racks have become popular online in recent years. They are great for small apartments or bedrooms, especially if you have limited storage space. This rack has shelves on the side for shoes or storage bins – a feature hard to find in other similarly priced versions. Consider the Gen-Z cool points as an added bonus.
Health and beauty offers
There are much cheaper massage guns you can buy (and we like a lot of them), but the Pro is the best of the Theragun line. Theraguns (made by Therabody) are a bit like the Kleenex of the world of percussive devices. It’s the quietest of the brand’s devices and comes with five attachments for tenderizing different muscles.
The Mini is also discounted at $160 ($40 off), if you really want a Theragun but want to spend as little as possible. However, there are better options than the Mini. The triangular designs of the other Theraguns make them much more ergonomic. The Theragun Prime, which we have not tested, costs $250 ($50 off)†
We think most people would be fine with the Theragun Elite, athletes included, but this Pro is the beast of the lineup, radiating 60 pounds of power, while the Elite uses 40 pounds. It also has a rotating arm, making it even easier to get the attachments in the right place. If you have the money to spend, you’ll like it, but $500 is a hefty price tag on sale.
You can still enjoy some of Therabody’s technology without paying hundreds. This Wave Roller combines traditional foam rolling with the vibrations of a massage. It won’t tangle as efficiently, but you could pair it with a cheaper massage gun if you need it.
Smart Home Deals
The Google Nest audio has surprisingly good sound quality for a smart speaker. We like to tie two of them together for even better sound quality, and with this sale it’s easy to justify. The Nest Mini Smart Speaker is also on sale for $30 ($20 off)so you can get something with a smaller profile, or just add something to your Nest ecosystem.
A smart display is incredibly versatile, serving as a video player, as a way to communicate with others, or as a glorified digital frame if that’s your thing. The Nest Hub Max does all of those things really well, and while these often go on sale, we recommend that you only buy it when it’s discounted. If video chatting isn’t your thing, the Nest Hub (2nd generation) smart display retails for $55 ($45 off) — that’s $111 less than the Max for a smart screen that’s still great!
Google households looking to up their security game look no further: the Nest Cam is your best option. It works with Google Assistant, has 1080p with HDR and night vision, and even has a good, clear speaker and microphone. For a wired, indoor option, the Nest Cam (indoor, wired) costs $79 ($21 off)†
With the dog days of summer come gloomy, sometimes debilitating temperatures. The Nest thermostat can help keep your home cooler (while also saving you a little money) by learning your preferred settings and adjusting them accordingly. In addition, with smart temperature adjustments, you also help save the planet little by little with lower energy consumption.
Ding dong, the Nest (doorbell) is awesome! No really. This would probably be our top pick video doorbell camera if it wasn’t so expensive this is a great opportunity to get something better for a lot less. This is the lowest price it has ever been, at a third less than usual.
Not all TVs are smart, but luckily they don’t have to wish for a brain like the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz† You can just a Chromecast with Google TV, and voila! With the included remote control, you have all the benefits of a smart TV (Youtube, Netflix and other apps) at your fingertips.
Smartphone Deals
The Google Pixel 6 Pro got a rare WIRED score of 9/10 – a pretty big deal here. We absolutely loved the camera quality, with its Real Tone feature capturing different skin tones incredibly well. It also has a long-lasting battery, a smooth OLED display, and an amazingly fast refresh rate. If you don’t need all the features of the Pro, you can opt for the Google Pixel 6 Android smartphone (256GB), which is on sale for $599 ($100 off)†
