MINNEAPOLIS — Target Corp. will lower the prices on about 5,000 frequently shopped items across its assortment. The retailer said Monday that it has already reduced prices on about 1,500 items, and has thousands more price cuts planned to take effect over the course of the summer. The price cuts — on such everyday items as milk, meat, bread, soda, fresh fruit and vegetables, snacks, yogurt, peanut butter, coffee, diapers, paper towels, pet food and more — will collectively save consumers millions of dollars this summer, according to the company.
“We know consumers are feeling pressured to make the most of their budget, and Target is here to help them save more,” said Rick Gomez, executive vice president and chief food, essentials, and beauty officer at Target. 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 who shop Target each week for their everyday needs.”
