- Target is set to lower prices for a wide range of products for Memorial Day
- The company said to expect more discounts going into the summer months
Target will be lowering prices on at least 5,000 frequently bought products ranging from milk to diapers as the big-box retailer looks to win customers from Walmart.
High food prices and borrowing costs have made cash-crunched customers more conscious of their spending and instead look for cheaper products in stores and online, forcing retailers to lower prices to get more consumers to their stores.
Target also faces stiff competition from larger rival Walmart, which already offers products at lower prices, and last week signaled a resilient U.S. shopper, betting on easing inflationary concerns.
‘We know consumers are feeling pressured to make the most of their budget,’ said Rick Gomez, Target’s chief food, essentials and beauty officer.
Other key food items including meat, bread, fresh fruit and vegetables will be discounted going into Memorial Day weekend. Soda, various snacks and yogurts will also go down in price, Target said.
