Target back-to-school savings: Retailer offering more discounts for students, teachers
It's never too early to think about back-to-school shopping, especially if it means saving money.
Target announced Wednesday a variety of events for the back to school season the retailer said will provide up to 20% in discounts for college students and up to 15% for teachers.
"We know the back-to-school season signals an important milestone for millions of
families across the country – and we’re here to help by introducing even more ways for guests to save and find everything they need all in one convenient location," said Jill Sando, Target's executive vice president and chief merchandising officer, in a statement.
Among the deals, Target is offering a bigger discount to college students using its Target Circle rewards program. Students can get 20% off a one-time purchase any time between July 3 and Sept. 3. Last year, Target offered a 15% discount.
