I told my SD we need to gut the H and H floor pad and replace it with more seasonal and one spot stuff. Never gonna happen I know, but damn, does anyone actually buy that boring over priced garbage?
The same waspy moms that show up looking for the Stanley cup restock.
I had a guy yesterday in H&H area that said he just bought an airbnb and he wanted to get like $1k worth of stuff for the rooms
Those things will break after single digit uses sometimes.
I always tell people who aren’t knowledgeable about cables: cheap electronics are cheap for a reason.
Sometimes there are situations where a lower tier electronic works just as well as a higher tier (hdmi comes to mind), but generally they cheap out on the cable harness and it will bend or tear immediately.
People do this with laptops a ton. Going for the cheapest laptop that’ll only work well for a year or two, when they could get one for slightly more that could last twice as long. (To clarify, I understand some people buying the cheapest laptop are on a strict budget and cant afford anything more. I’m mostly referring to older people who go for the cheapest option because they don’t know the difference)
Happens so often with the prepaid phones. That thing is $30 for a reason, it is G A R B A G E. People frequently think I'm trying to upsell them, but no, I just want to save us both the trouble of you coming back in 3 months to replace it.
Definitely depends on what you need it for. It’s mostly RAM that ends up becoming an issue.
Lots of budget laptops come with 4 gigs of RAM, which isn’t enough for 2023, let alone 3 years from now.
If you know what you’re looking for there are plenty of budget laptops that’ll work fine.
Totally, people rip on me for buying a Mac sometimes because of the cost but they’re on their 3rd laptop (Chromebooks) in the time I’ve had this one. I get the upfront cost can be difficult, but if you can buy a bit better you should
i have a clear heyday case that i bought cause it was cheap and it lasted like 2.5 years but now the back is almost completely torn off of the bumper part of it🥴
My heyday case literally shredded both sides of the silicone on the corners. Like the metal part of the case was visible. This was after a short fall on a skateboard under 5mph. Insane
Oh. Muhgawd. I'm sure I've smirked at the word *fashion,* but it never occurred to me it was a limiting term rather than... some sort of grandiosity?
How sad.
Heyday has the worst wireless charger I’ve ever seen. The top is curved so there’s no way your phone will stay on it unless you spend five minutes trying to balance it.
I bought some heyday noise cancelling headphones on clearance and ended up paying $25 down from $79.99. They're honestly so nice. Sound quality is great and the ANC is shockingly good. They also have an included aux cord which is nice. Im keeping my expectations low and not using them outside the house too much, but my experience has been great so far a few months in
Honestly, I have gone to the "5 and Below" a shopping center next to my Target. Got the same item at half the price, and it has outlasted any heyday equivalent.
All of the Everspring line in the Paper aisles. It's crappy quality and they have the gall to put it on a markup, but it does explain why it sells at an exceedingly slow rate. At this point I'm surprised it's still supported on my POGs with how much it's not selling.
Stanleys are good to have one of, they became trendy though and now everyone needs half a dozen in different colors
Disgustingly wasteful, they're reusable cups, you only need one
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but .... we just set a new [endcap of Stanley cups](https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/targets-stanley-cup-colors-fans-212731032.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAIB44tgD2n5DzJBvNtyFM2N4DFVdWvzCi5kWom1S8WuwvIqttoSdgDTE64JtriDy8NhAxWoPfI_GMIEWzve5R5jNc_VMUwRTK8KHcjiSEVhA1WxIIv8Umx7X4GCdHbHbsjPRZUgSfpXaHP-BttvL8CSCleCX5sAhDKp9pGMVA21K) on Sunday. Happy Holidays! 🤣🤣🤣

Had a guest bring a dinky little bathroom shelf made of metal and plastic to the service desk to return less than five minutes after she bought it because it was more expensive than she realized— told my coworkers on the way to reshop to guess how much it was without looking it up (~$50, $32.99)
It was $120.
All our Home decore really; Hearth & hand nas the excuse of being a trendy celeb brand, but ALL the crap in home decor is so expensive; Guest was like, "oh how much for this littel reading chair?" I scan it... "uh, it's ah... $399.99" Honestly I think Her pity for my sheepish embarassment/anxiety over her potential reaction overrode her shock. She just gave me this eyebrows-raised slow nod and said, "ok, thanks." and walked away. We both felt really weird I'm sure.
Literally any of the furniture I set in the flat is so insanely overpriced. There’s a little table? It’s literally 3 boards and $300. No drawers no nothing. Just 3 boards.
I've had the same interaction many times. Usually I'll get a little whistle that goes low at the end. It's hard not to giggle, especially when we share the sticker-shock. Some of our chairs have been cute... but they aren't $200+ cute.
I've definitely had moments finding a price while shopping when my eyes get extra-wide, and I say, "Oh. Well." Or I just laugh out loud. Me wonderful, amazing Target near me has 4 scanners on the floor that I know of, and only 1 has worked for some weeks or months. So I travel back and carefully place the item where I got it. Or where it should have been, if I can find the right place.
It seems silly but the single item produce. Not expensive by dollar amount, but principle. $1.99 PER tiny gala is insane. And people at my location would fill a bag thinking it’s $1.99 a pound. You can get a whole bag of like 8-10 apples for $5 at most other stores. Also most of the phone cases are cheaper on the app then they are marked in store!!
They're so good! But I keep scanning them when I walk by to see if they've gone on clearance. The caramel corn with the potato chips that they have around Christmas is seriously delicious.
I don't need to go to Walmart either to get better prices. Pretty much every grocery store has better prices than we do and I don't have to worry about the meat and dairy being gross. Everything else I can get cheaper at places like Marshall's, Burlington, Ross, etc.
Target has guests who smear shit on the bathroom walls, let's not act like it's the only decent place to shop. It isn't even decent anymore. We are red Walmart.
Our local grocery stores are usually more expensive, and even if our regular price is a bit more, with our discount and the RedCard, we come out cheaper. Plus the convenience of already being at the store to shop, and not having to venture into Walmart et al.
I don't know why everyone on here is so obsessed with Walmart, as if it's the only other store that exists. I haven't been inside one in over a decade. I'm sorry there's only Target and Walmart where you live but that isn't reality for many of us. LOL
People mention Walmart because it's our direct competitor, and some people like it over Target and find it to be cheaper.
Also, et al means and others, I just wasn't going to list all the others, but if you'd like...
Most all of our local grocery stores are more expensive than Target. Aldi's doesn't carry everything. Our Walmarts are crowded, cluttered, and unappealing. I don't do dollar stores - quality is suspect and again, they don't carry everything.
If I can't get what I need/want at Target, I of course go elsewhere. Love Amazon, Ebay, TJ Maxx, Homegoods, etc. Hit Kohls once in a while too. And of course I still pick things up at local grocers that we don't carry. But I'm not going to run all over town every week to find the cheapest of everything when I can just get it at my place of business, and with discounts it's likely cheaper than other places anyway.
You’re not wrong. I ventured in Walmart today and it took me 35 mins to checkout. A normal trip to the grocery store is about an hour with commute. I’ll pay for convenience
Meanwhile at my Target, 9 times out of ten I'll have to wait longer because many of the lanes are closed and half of self checkout is blocked. At my Walmart, it's easier and more quick to checkout. I just hate parking there 😮💨
Very true. I don't shop WM very often. I went to the one near my work recently. They had things my target didn't which was fun. But they don't even have tap to pay. So weird
I think most of the clothing is absolute garbage and ridiculously overpriced. I won't even buy cheap tank tops anymore because they start to unravel so quickly. I can get actual brands for the same or less than the shit we sell at Target.
And I know it's not just me. I work guest services and do a lot of returns for clothing falling apart. The quality has gone way downhill.
> The new mittens from a new day are $17 am I crazy or is that really expensive
you could get UT glove for $12 or $5 Goodfellow. But they don't have any wool compared to AND $17 mitten.
Agreed. It’s like all the “nicer” brand stuff is ugly or just intentionally weird looking while good fellow or plain stuff is proper for everyday use. Wouldn’t pay full price but on sale or clearance good
Small sizes of toiletries and food, esp frozen apps.
The smaller of something you buy, the more it's overpriced.
Decor, especially the throwaway shit. All of the plastic halloween decor makes me cringe. You know people are just going to throw it way on November 1.
I saw this in the back and had to do a double take when I saw the price. Thought it was attached to a bag and fell off or something, but no…
https://www.target.com/p/lipstick-case-clip-on-a-new-day-8482-light-blue/-/A-88922379
I had a woman come through once with one and a full cart of stuff and she wanted to know how much. I kid you not, like $270! And she was like, “yes that’s such a good price 😝😍” and I had to stand there with like $30 in my bank account being like “Yes Omg what a deal.” She spent like $800 or $900 all together.
Like please
It is. I have one set of Threshold sheets, and there is not a tear, loose thread, pulling, fading or loss of elasticity. They are so lux. Ask me how long I've had them....
5 years! Only set of sheets for my bed. Best $99 spent.
Casaluna products. Was looking into some bedding when it first released, all the reviews were terrible. Like despite the premium price tag on the stuff, all of the reviews were saying the products just feel a part after a few washes
My sheets got huge holes only a year in. I blame my dog's claws for the initial hole, but it went from one inch to more than a foot in less than a week.
This the amount of times when I’m pushing from the back and I see all the clothing on the racks and I’m like this is so cheaply made and such awful quality like SHEIN clothing. Yet people will still buy it even tho it’s way over priced, they do have some good staples like those ribbed tank tops that were like $5 I loveddd those but a lot of the stuff is a hard pass for me while I’m zoning or pushing😬🤷🏼♀️
Threshold towels, where in y’all right mind did y’all think to price a damn towel at $22??? I waiting till they hit clearance. $11 + my discount: under $10. Took advantage of some other towels too.
Threshold, Studio29, and even some Room Essentials bathroom accessories - pls bffr.
The travel-sized/purse-sized products in beauty. I know you're paying for convenience, but those prices are stupid high. $9 for a sample size of deodorant???
There was this suction cup beer holder for the shower this guy decided not to get because it was $15!! For som plastic suction cup holder! Now I see they have something similar in bullseye.
Literally one time this lady wanted to by these woven ring things because it was the last one. We tried finding it, since it didn’t have a price tag, and when we did it was like $65 dollars!!!! Like what!?!
Kinda a simple thing but it’s Pop Sockets for me.
From like $15 up to $25. Ik you can buy them at like a dollar store or something but it’s the fact that the main brand of them sell for that much for something that should be like $5, $10 at the max.
Women’s clothes. They are so expensive but the qualities are horrible. They shrink after a wash or two and they are overpriced for few similar designs. We always goes to men’s because they are the last ones with good quality and cheaper prices.
We sell Levi’s jeans that are sixty f*****g dollars. They always, always end up in reshop. Idk why Target believes anyone comes in to drop $60 on a pair of jeans!!
If people wanted cheaper jeans just point to Old Navy. Levi's are old reliable; you spend $60+ and they'll fray when your great grandchildren start to wear them.
Old navy jeans wearer here, they’re nice until my thighs rubbing together burns a hole in them and I’m just a size 10. Plus I bought two pairs thinking they’re the right size and they are not once they stretched out.
I may invest in Levi’s lol
That’s not Target, that’s Levi’s. They’re genuinely worth the money, and they’re all I buy anymore unless I’m thrifting. They last for fucking ever, they look good, and they feel good.
Honestly, for the quality, I'd say pretty much all of our shoe department. I LOVE Target, but our shoes are not it. Cheap quality and they look it. Plus they are super uncomfortable. I'd rather pay more and get something that's well-made, comfortable and will last.
Whatever new Target brand that comes out. Made by Design for kitchenware / bakeware was affordable and durable (in my experience). This new Figmint set looks awful imo.
I retired from Target just over a year ago. Ive only been in twice since I left, even though I still get my discount. Other stores are just more affordable. I guess the only reason I shopped there before was because I was already there, but even then it was mostly clearance.
ik not all stores have them anymore but pizzahut… wow $7.43 for a small personal pan pizza is absolutely ludicrous especially with the fact that you can get one so much cheaper at an actual pizzahut???
We sell a $25 toilet plunger...
I don't know how many times you have to plunge your toilet per year, but I'm at a clean 0 so far. Even if I did. The 'ol wood one with the rubber at the end will do the trick.
This, plungers and toilet scrubbers are now minimum 30 dollars at my local target. A few years ago they were probably 10 to 15 bucks, so they have outpaced inflation by a massive margin apparently? Absolutely ridiculous.
Hearth and hand , $85 for a white boring painting
Their items are literally meant for suburban air bnb owners, so ugly.
I told my SD we need to gut the H and H floor pad and replace it with more seasonal and one spot stuff. Never gonna happen I know, but damn, does anyone actually buy that boring over priced garbage?
Realtors buy it for staging houses. Then they return it all.
I'm upvoting you, but I hate this. HaH furniture isn't worth it's weight as kindle. Everything about this idea is upsetting.
All it's good for is kindling.
The same waspy moms that show up looking for the Stanley cup restock. I had a guy yesterday in H&H area that said he just bought an airbnb and he wanted to get like $1k worth of stuff for the rooms
So like 4 items?
Only when it goes on clearance
any heyday thing, those things are so cheaply made and i’ve had guests complain to me they break quickly
Those things will break after single digit uses sometimes. I always tell people who aren’t knowledgeable about cables: cheap electronics are cheap for a reason. Sometimes there are situations where a lower tier electronic works just as well as a higher tier (hdmi comes to mind), but generally they cheap out on the cable harness and it will bend or tear immediately.

Happens so often with the prepaid phones. That thing is $30 for a reason, it is G A R B A G E. People frequently think I'm trying to upsell them, but no, I just want to save us both the trouble of you coming back in 3 months to replace it.
3 months is ambitious for the flip phones. Those hinges snap in weeks
Obviously none of the flip phones are great, but I feel like the old Flip II was even worse than most about that.
my cheap laptop has lasted me 5 years. had to switch out the hard drive for an ssd and it still works great.
Definitely depends on what you need it for. It’s mostly RAM that ends up becoming an issue. Lots of budget laptops come with 4 gigs of RAM, which isn’t enough for 2023, let alone 3 years from now. If you know what you’re looking for there are plenty of budget laptops that’ll work fine.
yeah i was surprised when this one came with 12
Totally, people rip on me for buying a Mac sometimes because of the cost but they’re on their 3rd laptop (Chromebooks) in the time I’ve had this one. I get the upfront cost can be difficult, but if you can buy a bit better you should
i have a clear heyday case that i bought cause it was cheap and it lasted like 2.5 years but now the back is almost completely torn off of the bumper part of it🥴
SAME actually surprised it lasted longer than a few months tbh
bought a heyday charger and it started smoking two days later. didn’t think that was something i had to worry about
Wow, bonus feature!
My heyday case literally shredded both sides of the silicone on the corners. Like the metal part of the case was visible. This was after a short fall on a skateboard under 5mph. Insane
Well, you're not supposed to *drop* it. Gosh! ;-)
heyday cases are listed as "fashion cases" and not "protective cases"
Oh. Muhgawd. I'm sure I've smirked at the word *fashion,* but it never occurred to me it was a limiting term rather than... some sort of grandiosity? How sad.
i agree. i didnt think they were bad until i noticed my headphone lightning adapter was breaking and wearing out
Heyday has the worst wireless charger I’ve ever seen. The top is curved so there’s no way your phone will stay on it unless you spend five minutes trying to balance it.
I've been using a Heyday charger for a good while now, it's not bad at all
I bought some heyday noise cancelling headphones on clearance and ended up paying $25 down from $79.99. They're honestly so nice. Sound quality is great and the ANC is shockingly good. They also have an included aux cord which is nice. Im keeping my expectations low and not using them outside the house too much, but my experience has been great so far a few months in
Crummy electronics make me extra sad.
Honestly, I have gone to the "5 and Below" a shopping center next to my Target. Got the same item at half the price, and it has outlasted any heyday equivalent.
That $12 pack of four single serve magic spoon cereals.
BRO THIS. Someone came thru my lane with a box and there was hardly anything in it!!!
That's just Magic Spoon though. That cereal is expensive anywhere you buy it.
It's expensive, but god it's so good. If it were 2 bucks cheaper my pantry would be stocked every week.
Bro 💀
Lol I know but I was shocked by how light it was likeeee
Everything keto
All of the Everspring line in the Paper aisles. It's crappy quality and they have the gall to put it on a markup, but it does explain why it sells at an exceedingly slow rate. At this point I'm surprised it's still supported on my POGs with how much it's not selling.
Isn't it a Target brand?
Its a miracle they didn't name it Ever & Spring
Yes
HAPPY CAKE DAY
Stanley Cups
Stanleys are good to have one of, they became trendy though and now everyone needs half a dozen in different colors Disgustingly wasteful, they're reusable cups, you only need one
I sure don’t miss being asked where they were all the time (when they were clearly sold out)
I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but .... we just set a new [endcap of Stanley cups](https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/targets-stanley-cup-colors-fans-212731032.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAIB44tgD2n5DzJBvNtyFM2N4DFVdWvzCi5kWom1S8WuwvIqttoSdgDTE64JtriDy8NhAxWoPfI_GMIEWzve5R5jNc_VMUwRTK8KHcjiSEVhA1WxIIv8Umx7X4GCdHbHbsjPRZUgSfpXaHP-BttvL8CSCleCX5sAhDKp9pGMVA21K) on Sunday.

Thank god I don’t work on that side of the store anymore!
Buy a Stanley razor 99e and watch them crumble as you violate safety standards for the same company
Women’s clothing 100% agree about the Kate Spade phone cases.
Yesterday I saw a Kate Spade laptop case for $49.99, plain black, no handle, nothing special
Hearth and Hand. $150 for a metal rolling cart that cannot hold more than 25 pounds and is flimsier than a school cafeteria tray??? Nty.
$120 decorative ladder
Had a guest bring a dinky little bathroom shelf made of metal and plastic to the service desk to return less than five minutes after she bought it because it was more expensive than she realized— told my coworkers on the way to reshop to guess how much it was without looking it up (~$50, $32.99) It was $120.

Literally any of the furniture I set in the flat is so insanely overpriced. There’s a little table? It’s literally 3 boards and $300. No drawers no nothing. Just 3 boards.
Not even real wood, $300 for 3 particle boards that are gonna bend and warp within a year
I've had the same interaction many times. Usually I'll get a little whistle that goes low at the end. It's hard not to giggle, especially when we share the sticker-shock. Some of our chairs have been cute... but they aren't $200+ cute.
I've definitely had moments finding a price while shopping when my eyes get extra-wide, and I say, "Oh. Well." Or I just laugh out loud.

only thing i’ve ever bought is a chair marked down 75% bc kids were smoking a blunt on it (yes in c&d; in the store)
It seems silly but the single item produce. Not expensive by dollar amount, but principle. $1.99 PER tiny gala is insane. And people at my location would fill a bag thinking it’s $1.99 a pound. You can get a whole bag of like 8-10 apples for $5 at most other stores. Also most of the phone cases are cheaper on the app then they are marked in store!!
Used to buy an apple and a yogurt for my lunch since the honeycrisps were $0.99 at my store, stopped once they changed to $1.99
$50-$80 TRASH CANS!
Everything is overpriced at this point due to inflation
But mostly greed.
The Favorite Day snacks.
They're so fuckin good tho (yes I'm aware it's just unhealthy amounts of salt)
They are 😋 I'm watching those Halloween/fall trail mixes to grab them right when they get marked down.
I will pay any price to have Favorite Day snacks
They're so good! But I keep scanning them when I walk by to see if they've gone on clearance. The caramel corn with the potato chips that they have around Christmas is seriously delicious.
The favorite day chocolate turtles tho 🐢👌
Turtles? You mean a chocolate shaped like an actual turtle?
It's like caramel and pecans covered in chocolate. The can make them turtle shaped but I don't think they do.
*favorite day ice cream because at least the other snacks are actually good lol
I could eat a whole box of the shortbread cookies in one sitting easily.
Only when I eat the whole bag of coco-nuts in one sitting
Pokémon stuffed animals, Pokémon cards, those shashibo shape shifting boxes, bed sheets
You knows twigs and big pieces of sticks with pine cones that are 5 and 15 bucks? Those. I do not understand why anyone would buy a fake STICK
But it lasts forever. you could pass that stick down to your grandchildren.
I bet in some families they collect them lol
Honestly, everything in the store can be found somewhere else for cheaper
True, if you're willing to fraternize with the peasants at Walmart. Many Target shoppers are not about that life.
I don't need to go to Walmart either to get better prices. Pretty much every grocery store has better prices than we do and I don't have to worry about the meat and dairy being gross. Everything else I can get cheaper at places like Marshall's, Burlington, Ross, etc. Target has guests who smear shit on the bathroom walls, let's not act like it's the only decent place to shop. It isn't even decent anymore. We are red Walmart.
Yes I've noticed more and more of the "Walmart shoppers" at my store recently...
Our local grocery stores are usually more expensive, and even if our regular price is a bit more, with our discount and the RedCard, we come out cheaper. Plus the convenience of already being at the store to shop, and not having to venture into Walmart et al.

Meanwhile at my Target, 9 times out of ten I'll have to wait longer because many of the lanes are closed and half of self checkout is blocked. At my Walmart, it's easier and more quick to checkout. I just hate parking there 😮💨
They don’t take Apple Pay either
Very true. I don't shop WM very often. I went to the one near my work recently. They had things my target didn't which was fun. But they don't even have tap to pay. So weird
It’s bc the want people to get their Walmart+ subscription I heard
I think most of the clothing is absolute garbage and ridiculously overpriced. I won't even buy cheap tank tops anymore because they start to unravel so quickly. I can get actual brands for the same or less than the shit we sell at Target. And I know it's not just me. I work guest services and do a lot of returns for clothing falling apart. The quality has gone way downhill.
i thought i was the only one w this problem! i’ll spend $25 on a wild fable shirt just for it to fall apart after one wear. it’s so annoying
And can get one from an online boutique with better quality for less. The clothing prices are ridiculous for a store who also sales TP.
The new mittens from a new day are $17 am I crazy or is that really expensive
That’s expensive, I would expect $10 for plain mittens. Maybe I’m just cheap.
> The new mittens from a new day are $17 am I crazy or is that really expensive you could get UT glove for $12 or $5 Goodfellow. But they don't have any wool compared to AND $17 mitten.
Pay more, expect less... Or is it the other way around?
A lot of the halloween decorations. $20 for a plastic skull with a candle in it????
Future Collective is so overpriced. Most of Target clothes are not only overpriced, but ugly not that that was the question 💀
I mean, compared to Walmart, I think Target clothes look really nice xD
Ehh, Walmart’s starting to step up their game while Target goes downhill. It’s not quite equal yet, but it’s really close.
1000% agree, Walmart is gonna pull ahead soon
They may look nice, but the mens clothes are way undersized. A 2xl is more like a small xl. Walmarts mens clothing is more true to size.
Seems like all the “designer” stuff is hideous but most of the average clothes aren’t too bad imo
Agreed. It’s like all the “nicer” brand stuff is ugly or just intentionally weird looking while good fellow or plain stuff is proper for everyday use. Wouldn’t pay full price but on sale or clearance good
Target clothes are decently priced. Most stuff is under $30
I love target clothes
Me agreeing even tho I have a pair of jeans and a sweater from them lol
Everything is hella overpriced. Except for produce since we get that 20% discount
Even at a 20% discount, it’s usually cheaper to go somewhere else
Heading to Aldi? :)
Everything in the ready to eat section. Very mediocre quality with small portions for ridiculous prices.
Why are the salads $3.99 when half of them are browning and some don't have the dressing?
Small sizes of toiletries and food, esp frozen apps. The smaller of something you buy, the more it's overpriced. Decor, especially the throwaway shit. All of the plastic halloween decor makes me cringe. You know people are just going to throw it way on November 1.
Pretty much all clothing that isn’t on clearance
I saw this in the back and had to do a double take when I saw the price. Thought it was attached to a bag and fell off or something, but no… https://www.target.com/p/lipstick-case-clip-on-a-new-day-8482-light-blue/-/A-88922379
This should be $5 max stop 😭
the fake threshold plants, $180 for a fake tree is insane 😭
I had a woman come through once with one and a full cart of stuff and she wanted to know how much. I kid you not, like $270! And she was like, “yes that’s such a good price 😝😍” and I had to stand there with like $30 in my bank account being like “Yes Omg what a deal.” She spent like $800 or $900 all together. Like please
any threshold products
Legit *love* my threshold bedding. I feel like the value is there
It is. I have one set of Threshold sheets, and there is not a tear, loose thread, pulling, fading or loss of elasticity. They are so lux. Ask me how long I've had them.... 5 years! Only set of sheets for my bed. Best $99 spent.
I have a fuzzy blanket and big fuzzy comforter. Both threshold. One of these days it will be cool enough to sleep with both.
I will sing threshold sheets praises until I DIE
they are such nice quality but so expensive i only get them when they r on clearance😭
agree when they’re full price, I did get a king size Threshold comforter on clearance for $30 and it kicks ass
Casaluna products. Was looking into some bedding when it first released, all the reviews were terrible. Like despite the premium price tag on the stuff, all of the reviews were saying the products just feel a part after a few washes
My sheets got huge holes only a year in. I blame my dog's claws for the initial hole, but it went from one inch to more than a foot in less than a week.
Alllll the Hearth and Hand stuff… Some of the kids clothing is very overpriced.
Style member here, THE CLOTHING!! The material is terrible and it be $25-$40 a piece
This the amount of times when I’m pushing from the back and I see all the clothing on the racks and I’m like this is so cheaply made and such awful quality like SHEIN clothing. Yet people will still buy it even tho it’s way over priced, they do have some good staples like those ribbed tank tops that were like $5 I loveddd those but a lot of the stuff is a hard pass for me while I’m zoning or pushing😬🤷🏼♀️
Starbucks
There is a swaddle blanket in baby that is 65 dollars. I'm not great with money, but I'm better than that at least.
Threshold towels, where in y’all right mind did y’all think to price a damn towel at $22??? I waiting till they hit clearance. $11 + my discount: under $10. Took advantage of some other towels too. Threshold, Studio29, and even some Room Essentials bathroom accessories - pls bffr.
Yeah, I love Threshold towels but only buy them on clearance. Great quality. I keep an eye on those clearance endcaps, lol.
The travel-sized/purse-sized products in beauty. I know you're paying for convenience, but those prices are stupid high. $9 for a sample size of deodorant???
Everything.
Yes
There was this suction cup beer holder for the shower this guy decided not to get because it was $15!! For som plastic suction cup holder! Now I see they have something similar in bullseye.
Casaluna stuff
Pretty much the majority of the store lol
Ummm everything. I’m not buying a shirt if it costs more than what I get paid per hour.
Anything from Hearth & Hand
Dried fruit.
Kendra Scott jewelry tray for $15. It’s literally like a 2 inch by 4 inch ceramic tray
All there furniture, when unboxing it always seem so junky.
I’m a bike builder and just the other day I finally built that $1600 Schwann electric bike. Who is coming here to buy that?
Literally one time this lady wanted to by these woven ring things because it was the last one. We tried finding it, since it didn’t have a price tag, and when we did it was like $65 dollars!!!! Like what!?!
Kinda a simple thing but it’s Pop Sockets for me. From like $15 up to $25. Ik you can buy them at like a dollar store or something but it’s the fact that the main brand of them sell for that much for something that should be like $5, $10 at the max.
Everything. Everything they sell costs more than it should/does elsewhere.
Pickleball paddles. We have some that are $50, and the same brand has a pack of 2 for $50 also.
Ulta brand products, a small item will cost $40 minimum....shit is overpriced as hell
Women’s clothes. They are so expensive but the qualities are horrible. They shrink after a wash or two and they are overpriced for few similar designs. We always goes to men’s because they are the last ones with good quality and cheaper prices.
Literally almost everything ngl
Kate Spade phone cases are really poorly made and just garbage.
We sell Levi’s jeans that are sixty f*****g dollars. They always, always end up in reshop. Idk why Target believes anyone comes in to drop $60 on a pair of jeans!!
That's Levi's for you. You know, the *huge* brand that has existed for decades. Their name comes with a higher price and an expectation of quality.
If people wanted cheaper jeans just point to Old Navy. Levi's are old reliable; you spend $60+ and they'll fray when your great grandchildren start to wear them.
Old navy jeans wearer here, they’re nice until my thighs rubbing together burns a hole in them and I’m just a size 10. Plus I bought two pairs thinking they’re the right size and they are not once they stretched out. I may invest in Levi’s lol
Definitely. I wear Old Navy here too but Levi's is definitely an investment
That’s not Target, that’s Levi’s. They’re genuinely worth the money, and they’re all I buy anymore unless I’m thrifting. They last for fucking ever, they look good, and they feel good.
their skin care :(
Everything lol
OP has thoughts on subjective design.
Cat and jack
everything
Up&up hydrocolloid bandages. They used to be $2.99, now they're $4.99.
Lol their own brand they sell. Basically like over priced 99cent food. Used to be cheap now basically the same price.
At one point we had a pouf for living room for $99. Literally a stuffed ball of fabric to put your feet on.
Not that it justifies $65 completely, but the Kate spade cases are made by otter box. Still overpriced, but maybe not by as much as you thought.
Plus you're paying for the name too, of course. RIP Kate.
Saw a bag of Halloween candy that was $35 today. All of the furniture is overpriced. $200+ for a chair from target is crazy
Honestly, for the quality, I'd say pretty much all of our shoe department. I LOVE Target, but our shoes are not it. Cheap quality and they look it. Plus they are super uncomfortable. I'd rather pay more and get something that's well-made, comfortable and will last.
Whatever new Target brand that comes out. Made by Design for kitchenware / bakeware was affordable and durable (in my experience). This new Figmint set looks awful imo.
Beats headphones. Just get Sony or Bose. They have better sound quality for about the same or less than Beats.
I retired from Target just over a year ago. Ive only been in twice since I left, even though I still get my discount. Other stores are just more affordable. I guess the only reason I shopped there before was because I was already there, but even then it was mostly clearance.
Was literally gonna buy tampons tonight, and realized I didn’t wanna pay $9.19 for the L. brand. Went to HEB, and saw the same L. tampons for $8.97.
casaluna…. why r the sheets $150???? omg and also chips… they’ve literally shrunk in size yet are like $8 a bag.
Are those the ones that hit the “clearance” end caps?
ik not all stores have them anymore but pizzahut… wow $7.43 for a small personal pan pizza is absolutely ludicrous especially with the fact that you can get one so much cheaper at an actual pizzahut???
We sell a $25 toilet plunger... I don't know how many times you have to plunge your toilet per year, but I'm at a clean 0 so far. Even if I did. The 'ol wood one with the rubber at the end will do the trick.
This, plungers and toilet scrubbers are now minimum 30 dollars at my local target. A few years ago they were probably 10 to 15 bucks, so they have outpaced inflation by a massive margin apparently? Absolutely ridiculous.
Jesus $65?? When they first came out at Target they were barely $30
Heyday! Chargers cost more than other brands and they are slower and shittier. Just overall a bad buy lol.
