Changing Gears! - Took my first trip to Target Canada this weekend! And I had to blog about it!
My First Target Canada Haul! ^^
I've been hearing a ton of mixed reviews regarding Target Canada - Seems many have been disappointed with pricing and they don't have a WOW factor when they shop there. Here are my thoughts about it!
Clearance Sales!
Ok, I decided that once Target opened - I would wait. Patiently wait until there were some great clearance sales! And I was NOT disappointed!
Here are the 2 great deals I got ;)
Got a pair of boxers for Hubby at $2.39 and also got myself a t-shirt for $2.40!!! - Now that is US Target Pricing in Canada!!!!!!!
Food Prices
This again was a hot topic as the flyers aren't showing off the super best deals every week but you know - you win some, you lose some. I found that the Market Pantry (Target Brand) is still quiet cheap! I picked up Oatmeal $1.74, Chocolate Pudding $1.02, and Up and Up wipes $1.49 for 35 wipes. I would tend to agree that Target food prices are higher but most grocery stores are the same.
Rain Checks
I tweeted a picture about this - they had the rain checks right at the items! Picture Here! Such a smart idea! Can't say I've seen this before!
Overall Impression
To be fair - I hit up 2 Target locations - I found the first location was a bit too small for everything (they didn't even have a shoe section?!?! Weird...) but the 2nd location was a much larger and better stocked location. I'd say they still seem to have a bit stocking issues (some empty shelves in places). But overall I really did enjoy going to Target - clean stores, smaller sections but they finally have Clearance Racks (which is what I hit up when i'm in Buffalo anyway!). I think it will take a bit longer but I will be hitting up once in a while for sure! Also tons of helpful staff around and I'd say the best part = .05 cent bag credit if you bring your own bags!!! Woohoo! Hope you check it out :)
