In fact, Target just announced the dates for its bi-annual Target Circle Week Sale, which it is now calling Target Circle Deal Days.

Target Circle Deal Days, which is exclusive to Target Circle and Target Circle 360 members, will have up to 65% off apparel, home decor, bedding, home appliances and more, including items from popular in-house brands like Threshold and staff-favorite ones like Dyson and Crocs.
