Target Deal Days is currently underway, with a get-’em-while-they’re-here slew of bargains only available until Oct. 8 (that’s Saturday, people). The early Black Friday pricing lasts just three days and features home goods, appliances, tech and more for up to 60% off, making it a great time to round out your kitchen for holiday entertaining, pick up some gifts or indulge in a cool new accent for the house.

If gray’s not your thing, there’s a 30% off, 7-quart round cocotte in a soft white and way more to choose from too.

Dyson’s stick vac gets fine particles out of the cracks between hardwood planks as well as from upholstery threads with a ton of power and great maneuverability.
