Target sales follow a fairly reliable pattern, which means with a little planning on future purchases, you can stretch your money further. If you’re willing to wait for the right time to pounce, Target generally has good sales throughout the year. Follow this Groupon Coupons' guide to see how syncing your shopping habits with seasonal Target sales can save you big.

Mid July: Target Circle Week
Target's answer to Prime Day, Target Circle Week has sales of 30% across the store. Save on everything from clothing and electronics to home goods and groceries.
Late July & August: Back to School Sales
