5. Bulk Household Paper Goods (Target Circle Deals)
Inflation has hit the paper goods aisle hard. Toilet paper, paper towels, and facial tissues are non-negotiable expenses. While warehouse clubs are famous for bulk, Target is surprisingly competitive when you combine their bulk “Up&Up” packs with Target Circle rewards.
Smart seniors know that Target frequently runs a specific promotion: “Spend $50 on household essentials, get a $15 Target Gift Card.”
How to Maximize This Deal:
- Wait for the Offer: Check the Target Circle app weekly. This specific “Gift Card with Purchase” deal typically cycles every 4-6 weeks.
- Buy the “Giant” Rolls: The Up&Up “Make-A-Size” paper towels are comparable to Bounty in quality but cost roughly 20% less per sheet.
- Stack with 5% Off: If you use the Target Circle Card (formerly RedCard), you get an automatic 5% off on top of the gift card offer.
By timing your stock-up shop with this promotion, you effectively lower the unit price of these essentials to below-Walmart levels.
