Target's best sale of the year wasn't on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
This year it falls on Dec. 4 and Dec. 5 - this weekend - when Target gift cards are 10% off in stores and online.
That might not sound like much of a deal at first, but hear me out.

If you stock up on Target gift cards this weekend and then use them when you shop at the beloved retailer throughout the year, you will effectively save 10% on everything you buy at Target through the holidays and into the new year.
And if you use your 10%-off cards to buy something that's already on sale - say, 25% off - you will get it even cheaper than the sale price. You'll effectively pay three-fourths of the retail price - minus an additional 10%.
Of course, you can also give your discounted Target gift cards as presents. In fact, WalletHub has ranked them among the best gift cards to give for the holidays. Plus, the recipient won't know you bought the card on sale unless you divulge that.
