This is something that really doesn't happen too much these days. With inflation hitting hard just about everywhere, it's rare that you hear about the prices dropping on something. I am here for it.

Target stores have been undergoing many changes over the past few years. A few months ago, they rolled out (pun intended) a new cart design to make the shopping experience more seamless - and the new design is better for the environment!

Target also did something unprecedented earlier this year when they vowed to remove all cereals with synthetic colors by the end of May.
