I loved Target so so so much! I wish we still had it in Canada :( I found my favourite bag there! Along with great shirts and shoes. They always had such pretty home decor items and good selection of everything. Apparently Canadian Target sucks compared to US Targets but I loved our local Target. I was so sad when it closed forever .
Unfortunately Target Canada is gone now, it was so short lived. My mom, my sister and I loved shopping there because the atmosphere was so nice. The store is big so you don't feel like you are bumping into other shoppers. They had so much great selection and the Christmas stuff was amazing! I have no idea why people didn't shop there, but I found the prices to be great and the merchandise,
A lot of people are disappointed with Target Canada because it doesn't live up to the american stores. I can't compare since I haven't been to one in the US, but since it came to Victoria BC I have saved soo much money!
Sure, they don't follow the SCOP that's because they would go broke.... but use it to your advantage. If the item rings up at a different price from the shelf price, they still will give it for the price posted.
Another annoying fact is that most of their sales are not advertised in their flyers. You have to physically wander the store to get great deals, but it's worth it!. They often decide they want to clear out a product or section and mark things down up to 75% off!
Last week they had a temporary price cut on cheese (all varieties) and I bought $174.00 worth of cheese for $50.00!!! I have cheese for the next year! (It freezes well) They also have a lot of clearance items such as cereal, canned goods, frozen goods that they spontaneously mark way down. IE: cereal regularly priced at $3.99 down to $1.19.
On top of all the great sales, their Market Pantry brand often matches Wallmart prices sometimes cheaper, I buy many of my staples from there.
Target also has coupons on every receipt with purchase, which is great for stacking with manufacturer coupons and in-store sales.
One last comment...take advantage of rainchecks since they don't stock their shelves well, it 's worth it in the end:)
On the whole, there are a lot of negative things people don't like about Target Canada, but the good far outweighs the bad, you just have to work it to your advantage!
Happy shopping everyone!!:)
I am a Canadian obviously. I was rather excited when the Target opened up here in my city. I was not enthusiastic when I saw the prices though. The staff was not all that welcoming and I could get some of the products cheaper at my local Walmart. My overall experience was not a positive one.
