Tar-jhey (Target), IMNSHO, is definitely one of the worst places to shop
for fresh foods, fruits, and meats! Please understand, I do like Target
as a 'department' store and shop there every once in a seldom while for
non-grocery goods. But, when it comes to perishable foods, no-way,
no-how (unless no other choice is possible while away from home) will I
purchase there. Target it up there with WallyWorld when it comes to
'fresh foods' - limited and awfully poor selections. Besides, I'd
rather 'support' the local/regional stores to boost the local economies.
Yeah, it may cost a little bit more, but that's more than worth while
in the long run.

Sky, who does not do 'fast food' either! Er, well maybe 2 or 3 times a
year <G>!
