Smart Shopping: Unlocking Senior Savings at Target
Target does not offer a standard “Senior Discount Day” like some grocery chains (e.g., Ross or fancy boutiques), but they offer tools that are arguably more powerful if used correctly.
The Target Circle Program
This is a free loyalty program (no credit card required) that is essential for retirees. It automatically applies deals and earns you 1% cash back on every purchase to use on future trips.
The CVS Pharmacy Integration
Remember, the pharmacy inside Target is CVS. This is a huge advantage.
- Earn ExtraBucks: You can earn CVS ExtraCare rewards on your prescription fills.
- One-Stop Convenience: Filling prescriptions while shopping for the items above reduces your total number of trips, saving gas and energy.
- Vaccine Rewards: In previous years, CVS at Target has offered $5 off $20 shopping coupons just for getting your spring vaccines (like Shingles or Tdap) at the pharmacy. Ask the pharmacist if any current coupons are available for 2026.
