The only time I buy groceries at target is when I go there for something else and find a bag of chips they dont sell at the grocery store.
When almost everything is more expensive (and often smaller portions) people can't buy as much.
Not just groceries either; rent, vehicles, property taxes, insurance, fuel, everything.
Are they pulling back in general, or are they "just" pulling back from Target?
Has America finally found the cure to obesity? Low wages and inflation!
No, that's what made them obese in first place. Now it's the hunger formula.
Media: Recession didn't happen or it's over.
Media: Might be recession.
True. No one here is buying their groceries at Target.
Maybe one day this town will get a Target and I can continue not buying groceries from it.
Meanwhile, the Krogers and Walmarts seem to have plenty of people in them.
I always figured their grocery section would end up like their in-store pharmacy,, i e., no one would use it and it would end up a vestige of a failed business model.
It surprises me when I see people buy food from target since there are other stores with the same or similar quality items for cheaper. I don't think target has much value proposition from their own brands like Archer Farms (if that even is a target exclusive brand anymore).
If anyone sees this comment and shops at target for their groceries, would you mind explaining why?
I occasionally pick up food items from Target. It's less than a mile away, and if I am out of almond milk, I'll get it there rather than travel a longer distance. Sometimes I pick up a bottle of wine.
I've never done a full grocery shopping, however.
Maybe if they'd stop replacing all the name brand stuff with Target knockoffs that aren't as good, I'd actually do more shopping there. And you know, maybe if they didn't make everything a crummy, awkward, self checkout...
I'm spending plenty of money, just most of it is not going towards Target.
Somehow their checkout line has got the worst parts of Walmart and a Supermarket in one and I can't figure out exactly how they did that.
Shit costs too much
Target is overpriced and so are their groceries
I guess maybe school loans should have gotten cancelled.
