they more or less gave up own thier instore brands too, and went for even cheaper made quality(just go on thier sites and see how many people complain about specific items), which doesnt last very long. target came in hot when they opened stores inner cities, when before they almost never do that due to size and location, but once the pandemic hit, they vastly scaled back on many things it was a sign when thier items are getting more expensive every year. target is trying to be sneaky by trying to get rid of thier lower priced better quality item for higher priced medium quality item.

certain products, like up and up mouthwash and TP were(the cheaper variants) were eliminated for dealworthy, while leaving the more expensive ones intact.
