Lee M-S: "Target has surprisingly good food prices, though not a huge selection. "
I was on the mainland a couple of times last year, all west coast, and ended up in Target stores in 3 different states. Virtually all the prices for the things we normally get at Target were virtually the same price as the prices in Hilo. We strictly buy dry goods, fruit juices, paper products, and frozen foods there, although not any instant type microwave meals since we cook from scratch for the most part. The meat and vegetable sections are not worth even walking through, but we hit them for the non perishables I listed once a month, the best deals on things like cereal and peanut butter are when EBT cards are renewed.
