Don't get me wrong, I love Target. I just think that it's a tad overrated. Here are some of the reasons why I don't understand why everyone needs to go out of their way to talk about how obsessed they are with going to Target.
1. It's overpriced
You can't deny it. You can buy the exact same products you find at Target at Marshalls, T.J.Maxx, Walmart or even the dollar store for a fraction of the cost. Target ups their prices because they know their customers are willing to pay more for their name. Is it really worth it?
2. Their clothing quality is bad
Who has been personally victimized by a Target swimsuit or other clothing item breaking after wearing it once or twice? Yeah, they are cute, but so are clothes at Old Navy, Khols, Aerie, and more where you can find clothes at a cheaper (or the same) price with better quality. Their clothes ARE ADORABLE but they are over priced for the quality you are getting.
3. They don't have as many food options
I know that Target isn't a grocery store, but they lack some basic items! But with that being said, they have that one random coffee almond milk drink that my brother and I love because they carry the most random options.
4. You're going to see everyone and their mom
This is mainly at my local Target. I know so many people I went to high school with who work there. I've ran into so many parents (moms specifically). I rarely make it out without seeing someone I know.
5. You go for one thing and buy 10 things
Congratulations to Target's marketing department and whoever designs the floor plan, because they are doing great. This is mostly the fault of the shoppers, but I swear it's so much worse when we go to Target.
6. It's unoriginal
All of the adorable items you see at Target can probably be found at local shops near you that are giving back to your local community instead of a large corporation. There is nothing wrong with following trends or choosing for the cheaper options, but I recommend checking out local shops to check the prices before you give all your money to a company that really doesn't need it.
7. Their fresh produce isn't as fresh (especially for the cost)
My mom came home complaining that Target wanted $0.30-$0.50 PER BANANA which you can typically get for like $0.25 PER POUND.. and this high price isn't for the better quality, because it will be bad in a day or two. Target acts like they have all these healthy and fresh options, but all of their fruits and vegetables are a couple days away from going bad.
I understand that no one, including myself, is about to stop shopping at their beloved Target. But maybe all you Target lovers can think about these things before you go blow your paycheck at your next weekly Target run.
