Target CEO Brian Cornell says shoppers are pulling back, even on groceries, as they feel stressed about their budgets.
In an interview with CNBC’s Becky Quick that aired Thursday morning, he emphasized that the retailer has posted seven consecutive quarters of declining sales of discretionary items, such as apparel and toys, in terms of both dollars and units.
“But even in food and beverage categories, over the last few quarters, the units, the number of items they’re buying, has been declining,” he said in the interview.
I grocery shop with the app now. It costs $100/yr including delivery. I don’t have to step foot in the store and I can track my spending to the dollar so I’ve saved more than the app costs just by avoiding impulse purchases.
If I don’t like the produce they send, I reject it at the door and they replace it.
It’s pretty sweet for us and is saving a bunch of time and money.
It’s “set foot” goddammit, not “step foot.” I fucking hate that. Never do it again.
