In today’s economy, every penny counts. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the price for everyday items has increased by 3.4% in the past year. If you’re looking to stretch your dollars further while still getting quality products, three retailers recently announced that they will be lowering prices on some of their items. 

Comparing prices among different stores is always a wise way to shop when you’re looking to spend less. But to save you time, we’re sharing what you need to know about which stores are cutting specific items you may want or need this year.

1. Target

The Target Corporation announced via a press release on May 20, 2024 that it will lower prices on around 5,000 frequently-shopped items in stores. This includes items like milk, meat, bread, soda, fresh fruit, vegetables, yogurt, coffee, paper towels, diapers and more.

Prices have already been reduced on 1,500 items and more adjustments are set to be made in the coming weeks. Target predicts that this massive price adjustment on several products will help customers save millions of dollars over the summer season alone.
