Ahead of the Cyber Monday, which usually boasts huge online sales, Target.com saw record traffic and sales, which left behind the statistics of the previous year's Cyber Monday performance. Electronic items led from the front, the firm noted.

Families out for apparel and accessory shopping could do well to watch out. Target is luring customers with a 30 percent offer on items for the entire family and an additional 15 percent off in stores using cartwheel on Friday and Saturday. This comes as a part of the "10 Days of Deals" offer. Decorations could turn appealing on Sunday, when guests can get big discounts on this category.

Every item bought on Target.com on Sunday and Monday gets a 15 percent off, with the offer going live early Sunday morning.

Shoppers, be ready to loosen your purse strings. Target is indulging you with never-before offers, which look tough to beat or pass up on.
