Browsing the Target aisles has become a kind of pastime for some shoppers. Though it’s tempting to put everything in the cart, some items are better for your money than others. What are some items you definitely should pick up next time you’re at Target?
Here’s a look at the best buys from shopping experts.
Universal Thread Gingham Pattern Scarf
- Price: $10.00
Nothing says summer is here quite like a gingham print. Shirlene Tsang, the co-founder of OBJKTS Jewelry, said this red and white gingham bandana scarf is the perfect accent to any outfit (summer or otherwise), and at $10, it’s a great buy.
“It’s light and versatile and doesn’t feel seasonal, which makes it a great styling tool whether you’re tying it around your neck, your bag, or even your wrist. At ten dollars, it adds polish without looking like you tried too hard,” she said.
All in Motion Men’s Polo Shirt
- Price: $20.00
For men looking for a sharp shirt, Josh Neuman, the founder of Chummy Tees, recommended this jersey polo that comes in eight different colors.
“At $20, you get stretch, moisture-wicking fabric, and a polished look that works for golf, weekend errands, or even casual office wear. The split hem and collared neck give it structure, and it wears well across different builds, which is rare in this price range,” he said.
Universal Thread Women’s Pointelle Sweater Tank Top
- Price: $25.00
Neuman highlighted this summer-ready sweater tank top as a unique, affordable piece to add to your wardrobe.
“It’s the kind of piece that looks boutique without the markup. The cotton-blend fabric, scalloped hem, and button front detail give it just enough character to wear on its own or layer over a tee or dress. It is also breathable, which matters during warmer months, especially when you want something a little more styled than a basic tank,” he said.
Dermasuri Exfoliating Body Scrub Glove Scrubber
- Price: $14.99
An exfoliating glove removes dry skin to unveil a soft, healthy glow. This Dermasuri body scrub glove works without any soap, so it’s a one-stop shop for better, younger-looking skin.
“Especially if you wear jewelry, exfoliating helps with how pieces sit on the skin and how they look,” Tsang said. “For less than fifteen dollars, it’s the kind of upgrade that makes your whole skincare routine feel more luxurious.”
Billie All-Day Deodorant
- Price: $8.99
Smell good all day and spend less with this lavender milk scented deodorant from Billie. “For under nine dollars, it’s honestly one of the best smelling ones out there, and it has a texture that doesn’t compete with body lotion or perfume,” Tsang said. “It feels soft and fresh but still holds up during the day.”
A New Day Jewelry Organizer
- Price: $12.75
Rebekah Allen, the CEO and product marketing manager at Le Serey, a fine jewelry brand, really appreciated the practicality and size of the floral A New Day organizer for bringing jewelry on a trip.
“Just enough space to carry rings and earrings without them getting scratched or tangled … It’s the kind of thing that makes everyday organization easier without adding clutter,” she said.
