The retailer just announced that it will be lowering standard prices on about 5,000 frequently shopped products, from groceries to paper towels. Prices have already dropped on approximately 1,500 items, according to the release, with thousands of additional reductions set to roll out this summer.
As grocery prices have been on the rise nationwide, Target is reducing costs on everyday items like milk, meat, bread, fresh produce and more.
“Our teams work hard to deliver great value every day, and these new lower prices across thousands of items will add up to additional big savings for the millions of consumers that shop Target each week for their everyday needs," Target's executive vice president and chief food, essentials and beauty officer Rick Gomez said in the release.
