Why Target Isn't The Best Place To Buy Quality Meat
BY HAYLEY HAMILTON COGILL
Target offers a convenient, one-stop shopping experience, but if you're shopping for fresh meat at Target, you’re likely not getting the best quality.
While Target's grocery section has dairy, produce, and meat, it doesn't have an on-site butcher department, so all the meat arrives pre-packaged from a distribution center.
Without an in-store butcher counter, customers have less information about the meat, other than USDA labels, and can't request that the meat be trimmed to their liking.
Likewise, customers have fewer options, with most stores only stocking a limited supply of cuts that are usually more expensive yet aren't the freshest or highest quality.
