(CNN)– Target is slashing prices on thousands of items ahead of the holiday shopping season. The retailer will cut prices on more than two thousand home goods, beauty products, toys, and food and beverage items. Some prices have already dropped, and the discounting will continue through December. This is the second time this year that Target has cut prices in an attempt to lure in inflation-weary shoppers. In May, Target planned to slash prices on five thousand items but surpassed that number when they cut prices on eight thousand items. Categories: News Tags: Target
