5 Target Items Retirees Need To Buy Before Summer Ends

Target is the place to go when you need a few things and want a few other things. If you are a retiree, you need to make your dollars stretch. With retirees’ fixed income and living expenses going up, finding ways to save money is almost a full-time job. With summer coming to a close, Target is the perfect place to do some end-of-season shopping.

Why is that? Not only because Target has everything you want and need to make your life post-career a pleasure but also because there are tons of discounts and sales now that the summer is ending and fall is about to begin.

Here are five Target items retirees need to buy before summer ends.

It’s always a good idea to take care of your lips, and when you shop at Target, you’ll be taking care of your wallet at the same time. For less than $5.00, you can get a four-count pack of Carmex lip balm tubes with three flavors: fresh cherry, strawberry and wintergreen. The pack is currently on sale from $4.49.

As the weather takes a turn and chapped or cracked lips start to occur, prepare yourself with SPF 15 broad spectrum sunscreen that is resistant to water for up to 80 minutes. Toss several in your cart while they are on clearance at Target right now.

Just because the warmer months are coming to a close does not mean that you can skip out on drinking water. With the Brita water pitcher, fully equipped with a standard water filter, you can make sure that you stay hydrated during the upcoming cooler months as well.

And now, when you shop at Target, you know that you are getting a great deal while also making sure that you get the best water out there — with Brita’s technology making your water taste better by filtering out copper, cadmium and mercury impurities for less than $20.00.

Chances are if you have grandkids, they are big fans of the Minions from the ‘Despicable Me’ franchise. Why not score some points with the youth while making sure that your feet are nice and toasty for the fall and winter ahead?

These Minion scuff slippers are secure, comfortable and tailored to fit men’s shoe sizes 7-12, but they can be unisex and worn by anyone. Target’s low price of $19.99 allows you some room in your budget to buy popcorn, snacks and drinks for the next time you are hosting a movie night at your house for all the little ones.

• Price: $21.00

Now is the time of the year to get ready for the chilly months ahead, which means pulling out all the extra bedding and layers for warmth when you are ready to hit the hay. Head on over to Target right now and pick up a new satin quilt from Room Essentials for the low price of $21.00 (originally $35.00).

Its machine-washable design ensures that you not only will get a great night’s sleep under this cover but won’t have to stress about when it comes time to give it a cleaning. And with fun designs and colors, you can add a little bit of life to any bedroom.

• Price: $56.99

When you shop at Target during these end-of-summer days, you will get a fantastic price on the Costway storage ottoman. For just $56.99, you get plenty of storage for books, clothes, toys, shoes and anything else that might be cluttering up your living space. And you’re getting a great deal, as the ottoman’s original price is $129.99.

And the best part is that it doubles as a bench or ottoman so that you can add it to any room in your house and not feel like you are taking up space, but rather organizing it functionally.
