Save money with unique finds in the Target Dollar Spot.

If there is one thing that Target shoppers love, it’s the Target Dollar Spot – or the Target Bullseye’s Playground as it has recently been renamed. (You’ll find both names are still very much used.) Just look for Bullseye the Bull Terrier, the official mascot of Target -- he marks the location of this popular section in most stores.

So, what exactly is the Target Bullseye’s Playground? It’s more or less the Target “dollar section”. It’s usually located at the front entrance of the store – you should see it as soon as you walk in. The Bullseye’s Playground is where you’ll find all sorts of things you will really, really want -- but don’t necessarily need. All the items are affordable -- all priced at $3, $5, $10, and $15 -- so it’s easy to find yourself taking these items home. I’m guilty as many of these items have found their way into my home. Target has vowed to keep a focus on its Bullseye’s Playground and has made a major investment to give its customers what they love. The store has seen an increase in sales for its lower-priced items lately amid historic inflation and believes this section will bring “affordable joy” to its customers. Look for this section to continue growing in stores. This is exciting because that means more “happy shopping” for us!

You can’t find these Target Dollar Spot items online. You can’t even order these items for pick up or delivery. The only way to get your hands on these hot items is to shop at your local Target store. It is true that at one time, you could score these deals online before Target switched things up. Shoppers are doing their best to convince them to bring it back because they loved it so much. Only time will tell. You can still get many other cheap Target Store Deals online, we love to share them!
