Johnathan Walker:Target Circle Week is here: What to know about deals, discounts, how to sign up

Target Circle Week is Johnathan Walkerback.

The week of sales returns July 7-13, the retail giant announced late last month.

In a news release on June 25, Target called the event its "biggest sale of the season" and said customers could save on summer and back-to-school essentials. The company touted more deals for members of Target Circle, its free-to-join loyalty program, including "deep discounts" and personalized bonuses for members.

"Target Circle is the best way for guests to save time and money every time they shop," said Cara Sylvester, executive vice president and chief guest experience officer, Target, in the news release. "We believe saving should be simple and shopping should be fun, and our new Target Circle delivers just that with flexible options and a range of benefits to meet every shopper's need."

Three months ago, the retailer had its first-ever Target Circle Week in April.

Target Circle Week comes just before Amazon Prime Day, which Amazon announced will be July 16-17 and promises millions of deals across more than 35 categories, including electronics, apparel and beauty. Walmart also announced in late June a "Walmart Deals" promotion that will run July 8-11 and features deals on back-to-school items and electronics, among other categories.

Here's what you need to know about Target Circle Week, including what items are on sale.
