Target’s Early Black Friday Sale Is Officially On
Target is getting a head start on holiday shopping season. The retailer kicked off its early Black Friday sale on Thursday, Nov. 6, running through Saturday, Nov. 8, with savings of up to 50% on hundreds of items across home, tech, fashion, and beauty.
The early three-day event gives shoppers a sneak peek at some of the best holiday discounts before Target’s main Black Friday and Cyber Monday sale begins on Nov. 27.
To get early access to these deals, shoppers can sign up for Target Circle, the retailer’s free membership program that offers exclusive sales, personalized discounts, and an annual birthday reward. Membership can be activated online at Target.com or through the Target app.
Whether you’re checking gifts off your list or treating yourself before the rush, here’s everything to know about this week’s sale — plus five standout deals you can shop right now.
1. Shark Navigator Lift-Away Vacuum — 40% Off
If a cleaner home is at the top of your holiday wishlist, Target’s deal on the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Upright Vacuum is one of the best early bargains. Regularly priced at $199.99, it’s now available for $119.99 during the sale.
The powerful suction and detachable canister make it easy to clean carpets, hardwood floors, and upholstery. It also features a HEPA filter to trap dust and allergens — ideal for pet owners or anyone looking to refresh their space before holiday guests arrive.
2. Beats Studio Pro Wireless Headphones — 43% Off
Music lovers and tech enthusiasts can score the Beats Studio Pro wireless headphones for $199.99 (down from $349.99). These over-ear headphones deliver studio-quality sound with active noise cancellation and up to 40 hours of battery life.
Available in several sleek colors, they make a perfect holiday gift — or a personal upgrade for commuters, students, and remote workers.
3. KitchenAid Artisan 10-Speed Stand Mixer — 30% Off
The KitchenAid Artisan 10-Speed Stand Mixer, one of the most sought-after countertop appliances for bakers and home cooks alike, is on sale for $349.99, down from its regular price of $499.99 — a 30% discount as part of Target’s early Black Friday event.
This 5-quart mixer features a powerful 325-watt motor and ten adjustable speeds, making it versatile enough for everything from whipping egg whites to kneading dense bread dough. Its durable stainless steel bowl and tilt-head design make cleanup and ingredient mixing simple, while the range of over 20 available attachments — including pasta rollers and food grinders — transform it into an all-in-one culinary workhorse.
4. Costway 3-Piece Patio Set — 58% Off
Even if it’s chilly outside, now’s the time to snag outdoor furniture at a discount. The Costway 3-Piece Patio Conversation Set — normally $189.99 — is marked down to $79.99.
The set includes two cozy chairs and a small glass-top table, ideal for patios, balconies, or small decks. Reviewers praise its durability and comfort, making it a great off-season buy before spring price hikes hit.
5. Ninja Foodi 8-qt DualZone Air Fryer — 40% Off
Target has marked down the Ninja Foodi 8-qt Original DualZone 2-Basket Air Fryer to $119.99, down from its regular price of $199.99.
This dual-basket air fryer is ideal for families or anyone looking to meal-prep efficiently: it features two independent cooking zones, allowing you to cook separate foods simultaneously (say, chicken in one basket and roasted veggies in the other) without flavor crossover. It offers multiple cooking functions — air fry, roast, dehydrate, bake — and the 8-quart capacity means it’s generous enough to feed five or more people.
What to Expect Later This Month
Target’s full Black Friday 2025 sale officially begins online on Thursday, Nov. 27, and in stores Friday, Nov. 28, with extended deals continuing through Cyber Week, ending Tuesday, Dec. 2.
While the retailer hasn’t released its complete sale lineup, shoppers can expect significant discounts on top brands like Apple, Dyson, Lego, Levi’s, and Nintendo — plus markdowns on TVs, small appliances, and popular holiday toys.
Target is also expected to reintroduce its Holiday Price Match Guarantee, which allows customers to request a price adjustment if an item they bought early drops in price before Christmas.
