Winter can be especially hard on seniors, but with a quick trip to Target for a few strategically chosen items, retirees can ride out the cold months in comfort and security.
The following items, all of which are currently on sale, can help them lower their bills, keep cozy and prepare for emergencies ahead of winter 2025.
Alien Seal Weatherstripping Tape
- Price: $19.99 (reg. $39.99)
The Department of Energy recommends weatherstripping as a cheap and easy DIY way to save money on utilities by eliminating drafts and reducing thermal transfer around windows, doors and other gap-prone areas. This is especially important for retirees facing rising utility bills in the expensive winter months.
Target currently has a highly rated three-pack of transparent Alien Tape weatherstripping for half off of its regular price.
Zafro Electric Space Heater
- Price: $24.99 (reg. $54.00)
Target slashed the price of a small, safe and portable ceramic heating fan from Zafro by 54%. The space heater, which has an adjustable thermostat and overheat protection, provides an economical solution for keeping smaller rooms cozy, and an emergency backup in case of a winter utility outage.
Honeywell Humidifier
- Price: $$39.99 (reg. $46.99)
Winter is the season of dry air, and a humidifier can improve breathing and help with sleep. Target reduced the price of a Honeywell warm-mist humidifier by 15%. Complete with an essential oil cup, it holds a full gallon of water for 24 hours of runtime. No filter is required, it has an auto shut-off feature and runs quietly for hassle-free hydration.
Justin Case Auto Emergency Kid
- Price: $29.99 ($31.99)
Winter is hard on vehicles, and cold-weather breakdowns can be especially dangerous for older drivers. The Justin Case auto emergency survival kit contains important supplies like jumper cables, a first-aid kit, a headlamp flashlight and a tow strap, as well as camping essentials and winter-specific items like a blanket and poncho.
