Target, My Favorite Store!

 

I knew this picture I took of the Target near my in-laws would come in handy! As you know I drop my son and spouse off every week at the in-laws so that I can shop Target, my favorite store, unencumbered!

So,wasn’t I thrilled, when I got the blog email to come to a Target event, to hear about their latest and greatest. This weeks visit was all about food. Yum!

Target® provides guests with a wide variety of quality items for meal preparation including cooking staples, premium meats, gourmet dining options and desserts. Target’s exclusive food brands – Archer Farms^®, Market Pantry^®, Sutton & Dodge^TM Steakhouse Quality Angus Beef and Wine Cube^® – offer guests high-quality food products at an affordable cost. Not all items are available at all stores.

Archer Farms

Archer Farms is a premium, affordable brand, offering a wide array of delicious foods including premium groceries, fine cooking ingredients, organic food choices, baked goods, frozen pizzas and appetizers. Archer Farms delivers on Target’s “Expect More. Pay Less.” brand promise – high quality, innovative products at an affordable price. The line currently includes more than 1,600 products.

Market Pantry

Market Pantry offers the quality of a national food brand at the fraction of the price – 10 to 30 percent lower than national brand equivalent products. Families on a budget can easily and inexpensively stock their kitchens with more than 1,900 Market Pantry product offerings, including food staples such as cheese, milk, eggs, flour and sugar, as well as snack and meal options, including fruit snacks, cereal and seafood.

Firstly, I was shocked once again by how Target has managed to address the changing needs of our society and is able to cover all the bases. If you remember my last post, I was thrilled to see that they were carrying the new food fad of the moment, Quinoa. I thought only health food stores carried this super grain, I was happy to see Target was selling it, as I knew then it wold be far more affordable here than at a health food, over-priced, store. And it is a great food item that is not a fad, just a great addition to our diet.

This trip I learned that Target’s house brand pizza and gelato are actually made in Italy. Who would have thought that Target could keep its prices so low and be importing these delicious foods?

Overall Target has been expanding its food section and, with all of us looking for the most affordable prices without losing quality, I am happy to see the increased choices at Target. The expanded food aisle has food options from all over the world, even Bento boxes to fill for sending your kids to school with!

Disclosure: I received a picnic basket of goodies for attending the event. All opinions are always 100% honest and my own.

I do also want to mention that my son and I both won an item from the art collection at Target called “Kid Made Modern.” We met Todd Oldham, the creator of the line for Target, at an earlier event. I wanted to show what we won as my son, the artist, was thrilled, the stuff in this collection is “awesome” as he puts it!
