Target plans to cut prices on thousands of consumer basics this summer, from diapers to milk, as inflation cuts into household budgets and more Americans pay closer attention to their spending.
The price cuts, already applied to 1,500 items, will eventually include 5,000 food, drink and essential household goods. Target and other retailers are increasingly catering to customers who are struggling with higher prices for groceries, though inflation has begun to cool. Many of them have switched to private label brands sold by Target and others big retailers, which are typically less expensive than well-known brands.
Target launched one such collection in January called Dealworthy which includes nearly 400 basic items, ranging from clothing to electronics, that can cost less than $1, with most items under $10.
Last week, McDonald’s said that it was planning to introduce a $5 meal deal in the U.S. next month to counter slowing sales and customer frustration with higher prices. Walmart posted strong quarterly sales last week driven by a influx of customers, including households with incomes of more than $100,000, looking for bargains.
Price cut doesn’t mean cheap. Target is basically Walmart products at Walgreens prices.
They used to sell Tim Tams, but ever since they stopped there hasn’t really been a reason to shop there.
Idk man, Walgreens prices were ridiculous when I tried to go in there last. A half gallon of Milk was something like $8 which would cost less than $4 where I live at Target or Walmart last I knew. They may have jacked the prices up on that day because it was Christmas though. The Christian neighborly thing to do… Use overt greed on food items on a religious holiday to milk the populous out of their last dimes trying to feed their families.
I’ve found over the past few years that target often beats the prices of walmart on household goods and toiletries. Canning supplies were the first thing I noticed.
Nah, target has some great shit for cheap. Especially furniture. Their cheap furniture is better than the IKEA/Wayland cheap shit by a long shot. Save with kitchen ware, lots of mid stuff for cheap.
