Target fucking depresses the living shit out of me. The only reason I ever go is that I'm a school bus driver and for some reason half of the tips I get at Christmas and the end of the school year (why the fuck do people tip school bus drivers? I have no idea) are Target gift cards. It always has Kmart-at-the-end vibes with half-empty shelves and employees that look like they want to kill you. And I don't understand how they can maintain a grocery section at all - the selection is poor and everything costs twice as much as it does at normal grocery stores.

For some unknown reason, the stores all seem to have been inadequately constructed. The floor shakes at every multi-story Target I've ever been in.

I’ve actually found that Target groceries are cheaper overall than the major grocery store chains, even the shittiest ones. I live in a major U.S. city so ymmv. The only big chain that beats Target’s grocery prices is Walmart. But you have to psych yourself up to shop there because it’s always a hellscape and I’m usually too tired for all that.

Aldi’s/Lidl/Trader Joe’s are also always very economical but they have a limited selection of items.

I live in the Philly 'burbs and Target is wildly more expensive than the big supermarkets, which themselves are lot pricier than LiDL and Aldi. I can see where that might be different in a big city proper since things are generally so much more expensive there.
