Bottom line

Sergii Target gift card

Some health and beauty products will always be needed in homes, and restocking those now will earn Circle Club members an additional $5 gift card toward future Target purchases. That's basically a free $5 for buying things you were already going to buy — what's not to like? 

Over 5,000 products are eligible for this promotion, so it's not in any way limited to our favorite picks. But if you added of our faves to your cart, you'd get that $5 gift card. It is limited to one promotion per Circle Club account. There are lots of other deals for the upcoming Circle Week, though, which kicks off on July 7. 

Any chance to shop smart should be seized, so don't miss your opportunity!
