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 just saw the grocery prices at a Target for the first time in years recently and was horrified at how bad they were. I'm sure it's regional, but it was nearly double my grocery store on some items and the selection was terrible.
That was my experience 10 years ago.
Not according to lots of other people posting here.
Selection is bad, price is meh. If you have the red card for the extra 5% it helps balance things out some. I go because it's convenient where I live, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy groceries there.
My target has mostly the exact same brands as the Kroger next to it, completely lacks the international/Asian grocery aisle the Kroger has, and charges about 50% more for everything except beer, on average. Even when Target is busy, there's maybe ever like three people in the grocery section.
