It's no secret that Target is filled with everyday essentials and fun home items that are often hard to resist. It's easy to walk out of the store carrying bags of items you didn't intend to buy in the first place.
If you're looking to stretch your Target budget (while still indulging in some retail therapy), consider these 10 incredible deals you can nab at the store for under $40.

Get a protection plan on all your appliances
Did you know if your air conditioner stops working, your homeowner’s insurance won’t cover it? Same with plumbing, electrical issues, appliances, and more.
Whether or not you’re a new homeowner, a home warranty from Choice Home Warranty could pick up the slack where insurance falls short and protect you against surprise expenses. If a covered system in your home breaks, you can call their hotline 24/7 to get it repaired.
For a limited time, you can get your first month free with a Single Payment home warranty plan.
