Our Target store recently opened a grocery section, and I kinda like it. Since it's not as big as a chain grocery store, things are easy to find. Plus a lot of their stuff seems to be geared towards people who are single. I don't like some of the prices but they keep sending me coupons. I usually don't buy a lot on one trip so it's convenient. Sometimes I feel intimidated by the large grocery stores. Anyone else shop for groceries at Target?

I went last night, with $100, and only spent $60. I hope the prices stay that low. It is the kind of place that has a standard brand, then a gourmet house brand. I bought, apples, grapes, carrots, and lettuce. They all look good. Coffee was cheaper than Safeway and Walmart.

I buy specialty cheese and yogurt in the next town over already. Target will be my new go to for general groceries.

I shop Target for our organic premade foods (like Annies), breads, sodas, etc...I don't do much frozen or anything like that, but then, I don't do much frozen stuff anyway. I love Target, so I'm hardpressed to say anything negative about them. I do like the way the groceries are organized, and I like that there are multiple brand selections. The only thing I might add is not to fall in love with something--there are many times that I've gone back to buy something I've purchased for months to see it never return to the shelves.

If you send your husband there, he won't get lost. They had chicken nuggets there that were not Tyson!! YEa! That's really the only frozen prepared food I buy. They were ChEAP!
There is not a lot of ethnic food there, but around here, there are tons of ethnic grocery stores.

We do groceries mostly at Target now. DH insists. Walmart is just a little down the road and a couple of pennies cheaper; but, I think he likes the variety and atmosphere better, so it's worth it.
