Last time I was in a Target they literally had nothing for me to buy. Just aisles of useless merch. Ended up getting a drink because I was thirsty and that was it.
No Xbox games, old PS5/Switch games, horrible book section, no movies to speak of, no decent olive oil... Just a bad scene.
It's like they aren't competing with Walmart or Kroger anymore and are just trying to be a super sized 7-11.
It's worse than TEMU in there. Just a ton of cheap imports at enormous markups.
I found more to get at a Japanese dollar store that opened recently:

I mean, these places are just grocery stores at this point. That's all Target is for me.
If I bought games, I would just buy them digitally or order a physical copy if for whatever reason that's what I want.
Books? Free downloads at anna's archive.
Movies? Free streaming sites and 1337.
Olive oil...? Decent? Isn't it all kind of the same thing? Lol. But yeah, that's just a grocery item you can get anywhere else.
They are competing with Walmart and Kroger, as a grocery store. That said, it's not much of a competition because you can buy the same damn groceries at Walmart for cheaper than Target, always.
Not sure what you like consuming, but no, olive oil is not all the same. I've produced it several times.
Not all olive oil is the same. That's true for a lot of groceries.
Also some people enjoy owning movies they like or buying them to support them.
With your "order everything mindset" why but just order groceries too instead of going there?
Just feels like you took your life and wonder why everyone doesn't live that way lol
Hey man, you don't have to get defensive because someone pointed out a better, cheaper way of doing things. Just feels like you're insecure because you can't tolerate someone promoting how to get things for free.
We own what we torrent more than what we buy, because buying media usually involves some form of DRM.
Weird thing to point out, but I never mentioned going there in person. I actually do order my groceries. This makes me further believe that you are insecure and grasping at straws because I dared to mention how I get better deals than you.
You can start using your brain before your wallet at any time! But doing so would mean accepting that you've been getting taken advantage of up to that point, which I doubt you're prepared to do.
The thing is it's not better, better is subjective. For a person that likes to collect media is pirating movies better? The ego on display here is crazy.
I seemed to have triggered you because you think the way you do things is the best. It's not, sorry to break it to ya.
I get that dollars might be how you measure the value of every little thing, but to some people cost isn't the only factor. Some people are willing to spend $10 to own a movie they like. But you would call them dumb, and if they explained why you'd call them insecure. Your stance is transparent.
And your assuming that matters to everyone. It doesn't. Again you're assuming what people should value like it's some fact.
Yeah the rest of your comments keep going into personal attacks. Lots of name calling and assumptions, seems to be a pattern.
And you can start using yours any time. It's easy. Just imagine people who think differently than you and what they might want or value. It's called empathy.
Wow, so defensive. Either I agree with you or I'm being taken advantage of huh? Sounds like your ego is 90% of your personality.
You're way is not better. You just have too much who and pride to accept that others might value different things.
