The Target Edition Gutsy Finds is next up for the Favorite Gutsy Finds series.

Target is Life

Walmart was first because it’s so practical for much of the United States. 

But Target had to be next because Target is life. 

Dear target is especially important to me because it’s headquartered here in Minnesota. Did you know that? In fact, when I was in college, I started off as a Retail Merchandising major (<- looking back, what a joke for my life!) 

Anyways, the mentor I was assigned to was a head buyer at Target, so I spent several days with her, shadowing. It was actually fascinating. I belonged in a sort of business, just not a corporate setting like that.

I digress.

Overall, Target has a higher price point than Walmart. There are about 5,000 Walmart stores (this number includes Sam’s Clubs, though) and 1,800 Target stores in the United States. (source)

Due to this sheer volume alone, Walmart and Target had to be part of the Gutsy finds series.

Because remember, the goal is to help you and give access to Gutsy products no matter where you live. 

Note: You might live outside the United States. How I would read and navigate these in-store posts is to consider searching the product name via Amazon.com. You know, Amazon has everything 🙂

Target Gutsy Finds Notes

Here are some key notes from my shopping trip for the Target Edition Gutsy Finds.

1. Small store

   Everything found from this first Target shopping trip is from a small store. There are Super Target stores, in which I could find double (maybe even triple) the items. What’s on this list is likely to be found at any Walmart. (If you want the truth, the Target store featured in this post is my least favorite I’ve ever been to. And it’s ultra-small.)

2. Shorter list

   This list is shorter than the Walmart one. That’s because, like I mentioned, it’s a super small Target closest to me. That said, as I’m planning to do with Walmart and all other stores featured in this series, I will continue adding to it. Let’s be honest, I frequent Target stores nationwide as often as possible.

Target Digestive Aisle

This is what the Target digestive-focused aisle looks like.

It’s similar to the Walmart one, and there isn’t anything new in the Target digestive aisle that I’ve taken (that I didn’t take from the Walmart one).

In other words, just like Walmart, the “digestive-health aisle” isn’t actually healthy at all. Just band-aids.
