We’ve all gone to Target and walked out with a few more items than we planned to buy. It’s just one of those stores that feels like it always has something great to offer.

But wouldn’t it be great to get the inside scoop of what is actually a great buy at Target? What do the experts say are the best items to buy at Target? GOBankingRates talked to Rebecca Gramuglia, consumer expert at TopCashback.com, and searched top reviewed items to get the truth about what the best purchases at Target are.

Gramuglia recommends this mop just in time for spring cleaning season, especially since Target is offering a deal on it. “If you’re looking for a steaming mop,” she said, “Target is offering the Shark Professional Steam Pocket Mop for $89.99. Since Walmart is selling the same item for $109.99, Target is your best bet — saving you $20 on this home cleaning product.”

Not all springs are warm, so Gramuglia recommends picking up one of these outdoor heaters from Target. “The transition from winter to spring can sometimes get a little chilly,” Gramuglia said. “So, if you’re planning an outdoor event, consider investing in a NUU Garden Pyramid Gas Patio Heater from Target. Lowe’s sells the same item for $289.99.” One note: make sure you buy the heater online to get the lower price.
