Everyone is in such a rush on Prime Day that they forget to partake in the event's best money-saving hack: Stocking up on boring essentials that they'd have to buy anyway.

If you missed Prime Day deals on household items like laundry supplies or toilet paper, grab 'em at Target this week, and you'll get a free $10 gift card. The deal is open to Target Circle members (which is free to join) through July 26, and you'll need to buy three eligible items to unlock the gift card.

But you're bound to find stuff you need; there are eight pages of items participating in the promo, including several appearances from names like Tide, Charmin, Bounty, Hefty, Kleenex, and Seventh Generation. You could even get into the Plastic Free July spirit and try some products from ECOS with plastic-free packaging, like dissolvable laundry detergent sheets.

If you're not a Target Circle member yet, why not? Unlike Amazon Prime, it's free to join. And Target offers clutch promos like this pretty much every week. Sometimes it's gift card deals like these, and sometimes it's direct coupons on a variety of items. Just check the app before you go to the store or start an online order.
