As I predicted in this article about Amazon Prime Day, other retailers are offering their own shopping holidays. At one point we had Wayfair Way Day and then Target joined the fray with Target Deal Days shopping holiday in October. Then in 2023 Target introduced Circle Week. And it’s only grown since then, especially with…
Twice a year, you can usually count on the Target Car Seat trade-in event. This is a great opportunity if you have an old car seat that you’d like to have recycled. Honestly, I can’t even remember what we did with our old car seats once my daughters grew out of them. We probably handed…
When you hear the phrase Target recycling, you may think about buying recycling bins and other supplies at Target. And you would be right–sort of. I mean, of course Target sells recycling bins and things made from recycled materials. However, what I’m referring to here is the recycling that you can do for free at…
Do you know the difference between Super Target vs Target stores? Turns out all of these iterations of Target are both different and the same. Yeah, I know that sounds oxymoronic. But stick with me as I explain the differences between Super Target vs Target. I learned so much in researching this article. What is…
It totally makes sense for Target to name its rewards and loyalty program Target Circle. Why? Think about the iconic Target logo. It is two red circles. I’ll be honest–at first I didn’t “get” the whole circle thing. But then I started researching this article–because people were asking me questions about what Target Circle is…
I was so excited to learn about Ulta Beauty at Target. That is, you’ll now find Ulta stores, if you will, inside Target locations. Talk about combining two of my favorite places to shop. No offense, Nordstrom and Costco. I still love you two, too. Ulta Beauty at Target locations This Ulta Beauty store within…
I never realized that there was a Target student discount until I heard about this promotion: between now and August 26, teachers and college students could get 20 percent off an entire shopping trip. Of course, you’ll need to sign up for Target Circle to get this discount. However, why wouldn’t you? Target Circle is…
When I first heard of the notion of a Target salvage store, I wondered if there were any near me. My research led me to Marden’s Surplus and Salvage in Maine. (We moved to Maine from Pennsylvania in mid-2023.) In case you didn’t know, a salvage store is where retailers send their excess inventory that…
In the past few years, Target has been focusing on smaller footprint stores called City Target. I recall how excited my mother in law was about the new Target that was opening in her West Side Manhattan, Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood. She lived in an assisted living facility on Tenth Avenue, just blocks from the Target…
I’ve written so much about Target that I just assumed readers knew how Target Drive Up works. However, then I started getting questions from people that told me the exact opposite. Some of those questions included: These are all very good questions. So, I knew it was time to write an article entirely devoted to…
Target Deal Days are back this October. And even though we haven’t gotten through Halloween yet (as I write this article), retailers definitely want you to be thinking about holiday shopping already. For example, recently we shopped at Costco. As soon as we walked into our local warehouse, I saw Christmas trees lined up next…
Before we sent our youngest off to college–and before she even graduated from high school–we decided to sign her up for the Target college dorm registry. Why? Well, one, we needed to buy supplies for her college dorm. And, two, if friends and family wanted an easy way to buy graduation gifts or going away…
Recently, we upgraded to a Peloton Bike Plus. This after purchasing our original Peloton in late 2016. Sure, we could keep two Peloton bikes. But if we only want to pay for one subscription, my husband and I could never ride together. That’s a quirk of the Peloton all-access model. If you own two of…
It’s harder to find makeup expiration dates than it is food expiration dates. However, that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t try. Because the truth is this: makeup can and does expire. And if you ignore certain rules about keeping cosmetics fresh and clean, you can end up with irritated skin or, worse, an infection. That’s…
More than eight years ago I first wrote about how to make clothes last longer. Our family was full on into our suddenly frugal years. We were cutting costs and trying to stretch our dollars further. It was around that time that I came to embrace this notion of getting value for the long term….

In 2017, when my daughter Annie was studying abroad in Ireland, we decided to book a Game of Thrones tour out of Belfast, Northern Ireland. At that time, the show was alive and well and broadcasting on HBO. Fast forward to today, and we all know that Game of Thrones is over. Also, HBO is…
