As the weather warms up, we’re excited to stock up on seasonal favorites at Target, like our favorite frozen dessert or cooling, nutritious beverages. And the retail and grocery chain just announced an incredible excuse to shop there even more this summer. Starting this week, Target is slashing prices on approximately 5,000 frequently shopped items.
“Consumers will enjoy savings on everyday items such as milk, meat, bread, soda, fresh fruit and vegetables, snacks, yogurt, peanut butter, coffee, diapers, paper towels, pet food and more,” the release from Target Corporation states. “These price reductions will collectively save consumers millions of dollars this summer.”
So, where to start? These are the five price drops you can shop that we’re most excited about, ranging from healthy snacks to pantry staples. Plus, we added a few of our top picks for the Memorial Day Weekend sale happening right now.
