Target cutting prices on more than 2,000 items heading into the holiday season

Target is lowering prices on over 2,000 items across various categories to provide more discounts to customers as the holiday season approaches. They are focusing on food, beverages, everyday essentials, holiday gifts, and items for holiday preparation. The retail giant aims to offer exceptional value to help customers save money during the festive season. Examples of items with reduced prices include Crisco Vegetable Oil, LEGO Technic Car Model Set, and Bluey Fire Truck. Target also plans to reduce prices on a total of 10,000 items by the end of the year. This initiative comes after Walmart and Aldi announced discounted Thanksgiving meal offerings, with both Target and Walmart emphasizing store-brand products to provide more savings. Despite strong consumer spending, lower-income households are still facing financial difficulties, highlighting the importance of these price reductions. Target is also hiring 100,000 seasonal workers for the holidays.
