So, I just wanted to mention that our Target here in Joplin has been updating its store the last couple of months to include Fresh Grocery products such as Fresh Produce, yay! And that is such great news, because we definitely need all the grocery shopping options we can get. And apparently Springfield has been undergoing the same transformation, so yay for Springfield too! 🙂 Our Joplin Target has had a big part of the grocery portion of the store blocked off so they could get it ready and the selection has been pretty sparse (and don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining, totally expected when a store is undergoing a transformation as big as this), so I am VERY excited to see the finished results.
And a head’s up! I got my mail earlier today and I got a flyer from Target saying “Meet Your Refreshed Target, It’s Fresh, It’s Ready Sunday, March 25” and to get a preview of the store, to go to Target’s site and check it out. And here’s the fun part, the flyer had a peelie coupon attached for a FREE Loaf of Market Pantry Sandwich Bread. No purchase necessary, good 3/25-4/2/12, maximum value $2.99. So, Joplin residents, keep your eye out for this flyer in your mailbox for your free loaf of bread. 🙂
Thanks for the update… I hadn’t been in Target in months!
Nettie, I stopped going to Target too for awhile there since it’s on the other side of Joplin for me, but I’ve slowly getting back into my weekly trips there. While I don’t always find what I’m looking for (I guess since we’ve only got one Target in town, the “hot” items or best deals get wiped out off the shelf pretty quickly), I’ve been happy with the savings of what I have found in stock. 🙂 They’re one of the few stores in this area that offer store coupons on a regular basis & I love the extra savings that offers.
I was excited when my Springfield Target finally got done with the remodel to add fresh items but I was let down by the prices when they did open. $.24 per banana? The meat is really high also. I guess I won’t be shopping there for my produce or other grocery items. 🙁
Marie, I noticed the $0.24 bananas at the Target here too in Joplin :shock:, but I’m hoping they’ll have some nice sales. I know in the past Target has issued store coupons you can print for produce, so hopefully they’ll do that again too because that will make for some really nice deals.
