Target said the special offer was 'a way of thanking' first responders for their hard work
A Target spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia: 'Target Australia is proud to recognise the extraordinary and valued contributions of the first responders within our community.
'We are incredibly grateful to all medical staff, health workers and firefighters who have demonstrated immense courage and dedication to serve, support and keep Australians safe during these tough times.'
Target's offer is only applicable in-store and excludes giftcards, charity bags and gaming consoles.

The Australian Retailers Association said: 'This event encourages retailers large and small to combine their efforts and thank first responders for their courage, commitment, and contribution.'
