Target is dropping daily and weekly doorbusters ahead of its weeklong Black Friday sale

UPDATE: Nov. 13, 2024, 12:15 p.m. EST This story has been updated with new information about Target's Black Friday sale and early holiday deals.

After hosting a three-day Early Black Friday sale this month, Target has solidified its plans for the year-end shopping holiday. Its official Black Friday sale will run for a full week from Sunday, Nov. 24 to Saturday, Nov. 30, ushering in its "best planned prices of the season – and twice as many Black Friday weekend deals as last year."

The retailer quietly announced the dates and details of this event towards the bottom of a recent press release about its holiday hours. But the weeks ahead will involve a tad more fanfare.

For starters, Target has revived its "Deal of the Day" program through Dec. 24. These one-day doorbusters feature discounts of up to 50% off and exclusives for members of Target Circle, the retailer's free rewards program. Upcoming Deals of the Day apply to Fujifilm camera bundles (Nov. 14), the Tineco Go Flex stick vacuum (Nov. 15), beauty/personal care gift sets (Nov. 16), and the Roborock Qrevo Pro robot vacuum/mop (Nov. 17).

Target is also dropping batches of weeklong deals every Sunday in November in the lead-up to Black Friday. At the time of writing, the second wave was live with discounts on Christmas decor, select bedding, select board games, Disney apparel and toys, and select floor care (including some Dyson vacuums). Shoppers could also earn a free $15 Target gift card by spending at least $50 on Clorox cleaning supplies.

Target previously announced that Black Friday proper will coincide with its exclusive in-store launch of the official Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Book and Swift's The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology on CD and vinyl. Each item will be limited to four per guest. They'll be available online early in the morning on Saturday, Nov. 30 while supplies last.

Target has yet to confirm its plans for Cyber Monday.

Those who plan on perusing Target's seasonal deals should know that its Holiday Price Match Guarantee is now in effect. Under this policy, shoppers can request a price-match for anything bought there through Dec. 24 if it happens to get cheaper post-purchase. Target will also price-match Amazon and Walmart deals on certain items within 14 days of purchase, with certain restrictions.

Target's Black Friday hours

Target stores will open at 6 a.m. local time on Black Friday. They'll be closed on Thanksgiving Day, as they have been for years — that became a permanent company policy in 2021.
