Target is ending 'price matching' with Amazon and WalMart

Target is ending a price matching policy that for 12 years allowed customers to request a price match if they found an identical item with a lower cost at competitors Amazon or Walmart.

The policy enabled a price match if shoppers could provide proof of the lower price within 14 days of their purchase. The product had to be identical in brand name, size, weight, color and model number, and had to be sold and fulfilled by Amazon or Walmart, according to the Target policy.

After July 28, customers will only be able to request a price match for products sold at either Target or Target.com, not competitors Amazon and Walmart, according to a Target spokesperson. The company said that it's ending price matching for products sold by the two rival retailers because "guests overwhelmingly price match Target and not other retailers."

Target introduced its competitor price match policy in 2013. At the time, former Target CEO and president Gregg Steinhafel said the policy provided "unbeatable value."

Other retailers that have price matching policies include Best Buy and Home Depot. Walmart also has a price matching policy, although it's for Walmart.com, not competitors.

Target's decision to end its price matching policy comes as the retailer is struggling to boost sales and store traffic. In its most recent earnings report released in May, the company reported a nearly 3% decline in sales during the first quarter compared to the same time last year.

At the time, Target CEO Brian Cornell said the retailer was navigating an "exceptionally challenging environment," citing declining consumer confidence and uncertainty around tariffs as some of the headwinds.

Other retailers are also facing challenges as consumers pull back on spending. The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index, which tracks Americans' sentiment toward business and labor market conditions, fell 5.4 points in June, a sign consumers may be more cautious about the state of the economy.

Target feels pointless. It’s nicer inside but the prices aren’t good. Their grocery section is actually worse than Walmarts. The produce is horrid. Their beauty section is good and maybe their tacky home products are still popular with fraus.

And their 'original price' is marked way up, so when they 'mark it down' it's actually the suggested retail price from the manufacturer, which is the price sold every day in it's comeptitors.

Next time you're in TJMAxx, Marshall's or HomeGoods (all owned by TJX Co), take a look at their 'store policy signs' hanging up behind the cash-out, and carefully read their definition of 'original price' on their merchandise (it basically say they mark up to mark down).

Target pricing was almost never spectacular.

Clearance at Target was a joke. Very small price drops (sometimes only 10 or 20 cents) and fairly often you'd see an item where the clearance price was actually ***higher*** than the original.

Target was also very popular with black people in urban areas, R33. That demographic plus the gays were two groups they could count on to avoid Wal-Mart and its icky cultural associations, but then Target stupidly cut DEI and eliminated Pride merchandise to suck up to Trump and lost both groups in the process. They can rot now.

[quote]Have they all moved to Amazon?

Other retailers exist. Everything Target sells can be sourced elsewhere, and 98% of what Amazon sells is the same. Hit CVS, Lowes, a discount retailer like Marshalls or Ross, and any basic grocery store, and you'll find it all pretty easily. We all lived that way once and we can do it again. I am. It's great to get out of the house, avoid delivery fees and streets clogged with amazon drivers, and stick it to some nasty companies in the process.

Give it time, their dramatic reversal of fortunes is only 6 months old. They've lost a huge segment of market share since their foolish decisions about diversity. Those customers are not coming back any time soon, likely never. Regular people are furious at corporations capitulating to Trump and they're looking for any opportunity to hit back with their spending habits.

Target is Enemy #1 in this regard for many. They're just too easy to avoid. For former customers like me who saw the store as a retailer that "got" them and their tastes, this felt like a betrayal. We won't be back. They're just a dumb big box store selling junk no one really needs and that can be bought anywhere. No thank you. I'm happy to drive a little further and pay a few cents more if it screws a shitty corp that bows down to Trump.

The empty Target stores, the monthly drop in their stock, etc., is because the black community has given them a big FUCK YOU for killing their DEI initiatives and bending the knee to Whatshisface. The black community has largely stopped shopping there, and it’s hurting them to the point that they’ve been reaching out to various leaders in the black community (including Al Sharpton) to try and get back some of their AA clientele.

Amazon stopped price-matching competitors years ago and it's true that Target mostly price-matched itself (due to discrepancies between its in-store and online prices), so I wouldn't read too much into this particular move. Target's on the ropes for other reasons but pricing's more dynamic now at all the big stores as a result of easy comparison-shopping online.

The quality at Target has noticeably gone down hill the past 10 years - maybe it's just me who sees that, but no one else seems to mention it.

But yeah - the stores look poorly run - shelves aren't stocked, they're getting messy. The products look overprice for the quality.

Shame - I used to love the store but they kept cutting and cutting and cutting. The shitification and race to the bottom to increase profits short-term.

It’s really gone downhill in the past 7 or 8 years.

I moved 9 years ago and bought a lot of basics at Target. I liked the products and felt like I got good deals.

Now, you can’t even get a decent kitchen towel there. They’re terrible quality and very over- priced. Other than toiletries, I can’t think of anything they offer at a decent price.

It doesn’t matter, though, because I wouldn’t shop there anyway because of their DEI copout.

A couple of years ago, I noticed they didn’t have Halloween decorations out in mid-September. I don’t know if they ever got around to putting them out, but you’d think they would make a killing on basic seasonal items. But it seemed like they couldn’t be bothered to even stock the shelves.

I remember when Target 'suddenly' became the store 'to go to' and did a heavy expansion in my area : about 30 years ago. That's when Oprah was plugging the store every chance she had on her "Oprah" show, and called it "Tar-jay". She would film 'shopping trips' to the store with Gail, and show all the 'bargains' she bought (really pushing their 'work clothes for women').

This was decades before every single talk show was 'pushing daily deals' and every celebrity was endorsing something. This was way before the internet, online shopping, and camera phones. Other stores were still around, not just Target, Kohl's (not in my area at the time) and WalMart.

So I always wondered what the deal was between Oprah and Target back then. It certainly preceded what we have now.

I also remember when Donna Summer was performing in concert in the early 80s, she had her sisters singing back up for her. At one point, Summer would leave the stage to change costumes, and her two sisters would 'entertain' the audience with light banter between the two of them, discussing 'wardrobe changes' when you're a diva like Donna. They used to rattle on about the designer duds she got to wore, and the stage clothes they wore - all from their special designer "Pen-yay'. Of course, no one knew what they were talking about and they would clarify: " You know who we mean...J C Pen-yay" because 'we're not divas' (to which the audience would roar with laughter).

While Target's obviously bleeding customers, it's doubtful they're losing significant ground to Michaels. As you note, their inventories (and purposes) are quite different. There's only so much of interest at Michaels for the free-spending, Starbucks-swilling soccer moms who clip electronic coupons to save $2 on Method cleaners while dropping $80 every three months on overpriced Magnolia-branded seasonal decor.

I hate that the only non-mail-order pharmacy I can buy my meds is CVS and that the only location within reasonable driving distance is in a Target. I won't spend a penny there after their DEI bullshit and subsequent Pride merchandise fiascoes. I used to drop at least $50 outside of my prescriptions. Like everyone else, I just go to Costco instead. Unfortunately, the pharmacy at Costco isn't really a pharmacy; they don't actually fill any prescriptions in the stores as it's all done at a central facility and shipped to the stores packaged and ready to go, and they won't handle anything outside of the most common drugs.

FAFO, Target.

They're being boycotted by everyone. It started about two years ago when they sold kids clothes inspired by Pride month. Conservatives went ballistic. Some posted videos of themselves vandalizing the Pride displays. The religious zealots called for a boycott.

Then, this year, Target announced that it was cutting back its DEI program. I went to a nearby store a couple months ago. The store was located in a busy strip mall in a community where the population is 64% black and 22% Latino. I only saw five other shoppers there. It was a ghost town. It was a Sunday afternoon.

Maybe they thought that getting rid of DEI would win back the conservatives but it didn't. They are unforgiving, and some influencers have announced they won't return until Target formally apologizes for its Pride 2023 merchandise displays.

So now, neither conservatives or liberals will shop there.

R76 this isn't anything new. NYC has several Target Boutique stores. The one in Hell's Kitchen is very popular especially after Rite AIDS and Walgreens closed in that neighborhood after the pandemic.

R77 One, two three . . .5 Target Boutique stores in NYC

After construction and COVID-related delays, Target has officially opened three new small-format stores on the Upper West Side, Hell’s Kitchen, and Staten Island. The store at 61st and Broadway at Columbus Circle was first announced two years ago and was planned to open

in 2019. Likewise, the store on 10th Avenue and 45th Street was first announced four years ago and was also planned to open in 2019. The store in the North Shore section of Staten Island is only delayed by six months.

With these new locations, Target has 25 total stores, 13 of which are small-formats across NYC – with nine total stores across Manhattan, eight of which are small-format. There are 12 future stores planned for the city–the Upper East Side (86th and Lexington), Upper West Side (98th and Columbus), Harlem (on West 125th Street), Washington Heights, Times Square, Union Square, Gravesend, Prospect Park South, East Flatbush, Astoria, Jackson Heights, and Jamaica.

Overall, Target closing down their 'mammoth stores' and replacing them in other areas with 'boutique' stores ( a fraction of the size of the closed store) can hardly be considered 'replacing' the closed stores (IMO).

R85: Aimed at children? I recall the controversy when Target had pride merch for kids (T-shirts saying "my first Pride" and "Trans rights are human rights" in toddler sizes) they did not have chest binders [italic]for children[.[/italic] There was no deception there — the Pride collection included chest binders and packing underwear specifically labeled and marketed as adult attire — but in a quick google search I found redditors complaining images sometimes featured teenage‑appearing models. Didn't this result in a conservative boycott that fizzled out? Clearly this did less damage to Target than the rescission of DEI did as liberals' boycotts seem to be working.

Yoohoo, Target Shill! R37? Can you spin this news for us? You might want to call the Associated Press and let them know that they got it all wrong and Target is fine - just fine, thank you!

They did this to themselves. By voluntarily, hastily and publicly messaging they are doing away with DEI, they shot themselves in the foot if not the face. If they wanted to abandon DEI for a real business reason, they could have phased it out quietly. Dopes.

Bed Bath & Beyond’s Executive Chairman Marcus Lemonis announced on Wednesday that the company won't open or operate retail stores in California, saying the decision isn't about "isn’t about politics – it’s about reality."

Lemonis said in a statement posted on X that the decision was driven by the fact that the company wouldn't be able to sustain operations in the state due to higher taxes, higher fees and higher wages coupled with "endless regulations that strangle growth."

Surprise to me. Here in the Northeast Bed Bath and Beyond retail stores disappeared years ago as have many others. The concept of a brick-and-mortar store has been dying for a number of years now

Maybe they should start shipping their pants.
