Hat tip to DDG
Our Publix takes Target coupons as well. Combined with all the buy-one-get-one-frees, this makes for a good deal on groceries.
Nice catch — didn’t even know Target carried groceries. (though did see recent rumors of a merger with Kroger) That said, like with groceries at Kmart, when I started checking out grocery prices on line at Target, the few prices shown were outrageously high — whole foods/whole wallet class, w/o the class. (as in 40% higher and more on basic staples — say compared to Kroger or Walmart)
Even worse, I’d say 90% or more of the groceries appearing on the Target web site in full color didn’t come with the price! (but instead direct us to go in store to find out what the price was…. Harris-Teeter style.)
I did eventually find a target ad for my area — and it had a few pages of rather lame so-so prices, not enough to get us to go the extra 10 miles….. Target needs to put a whole lot more prices “out there” for potential shoppers to see, in advance, before going. A mere 20% promo for a $50 purchase of likely over-priced goods is a non-starter without more sense of the prices. (Even Walmart has figured out how to do this — to see on-line grocery prices. Am I missing something with Target? — Do I have to create an account to see on-line prices?).
PS: Any sort of merger between Kroger and Target would be catastrophic for Kroger. Cramer’s call is spot on — “fake news.”
Target is good on canned goods and snacks, as well as frozen stuff. Not so much on fresh food, and most have small sections anyway.
Target stores can charge different prices for the same thing depending on the store. That 5% REDcard discount at a more expensive Target doesn’t look so great when another Target store nearby sells the same item 15% less even without a REDcard. At least, that’s what I’ve found shopping for food at different Target stores in my neck of the woods.
Does this include alcohol?
Don’t think so?
Alcohol has worked in the past.
Yes, three 6-packs yesterday.
Can also use Apple pay in the target app to use with the chase freedom bonus if not already maxed out.
chase, google, samsung? or paypal for next quarter?
