Anyone do grocery shopping at SuperTarget?

Hey ya'll.  Our neighborhood Target was recently converted into a Super Target, complete with groceries.  I got a coupon in the mail for a dozen free eggs, so I decided to try to do some grocery shopping in there.  Surprisingly, they have a lot of what I need.  My only complaint is that the produce section is absolutely tiny.  Does anyone else shop at a Super Target, and if so, do they have a reasonably sized produce section?  I'd like to do my grocery shopping there, as I love Target, and then I can other things like baby clothes, mommy clothes, and shoes while I'm grocery shopping.  Not great for our budget but fun for me. :)

    I think most (all) Targets were converted to have a grocery section, but they're not full groceries. I went in and picked up a few things the other day and love the convenience (it's right on my way home from work and easier than navigating HEB). I almost like that they don't have as much of a variety as it makes it easier to choose. That said, I'm picky when it comes to the staples and buy a lot of organics which they don't have. FWIW some Targets have a full grocery - I know The Super Super Target at Southpark Meadows is and I believe that there is another one up north - Parmer maybe? Their produce/meat/bakery sections are full size and they have much more variety.

    I shop at the Super Target in Pf.  I have to say I don't buy ANY produce there any more....it always seems to be on its last leg, and even when it seems fine, it never keeps very long.  Beyond that, though, I don't have any complaints.  Most prices seem to be higher than (or close to) HEB prices, but I've found a few things that are much lower.  I try to only use it for quick trips when I only need a few items, because all the other stuff there tempts me too much.  Stick out tongue

    I like them but the one by my house has terrible produce quality and their meat isn't very good either. I go but only when I need other household things and not to many groceries. Plus I think they are more expensive than HEB. Although they do take their coupons and manufactures coupons which is nice.

    The one near my house doesn't seem to have as much variety as a "regular" grocery store, plus honestly I think their produce really sucks. It looks pretty, but I've gotten home and had brand new, nice looking things be like moldy on the inside.

    As pp posters mentioned our Target doesn't move the produce often enough and the meat is eh.

     For a few quick things Target's ok, but HEB is where we end up each week.

    That's pretty much how I feel too, except replace the "eh" with Ick!  I'm probably way too paranoid, but something about buying meat from Target just seems wrong to me.

    I have also found the prices to be higher on average than HEB.  I'll only pick stuff up in the grocery section if I'm there and need something anyway (like a gallon of milk or something), and if I spot a good deal on a staple.  They  had Annie's Cheddar Bunnies on for like $1.98 once, so I bought like four boxes.

    I buy clementines from Target. 90% of the time they're cheaper than HEB.Other than that I stay away from their produce and meat section. I do buy other name brand grocery items from target like milk, eggs, cheese. Or anything else I can use double coupons on.

    yeah, I love me some super target but not so much with the fresh stuff - unless it's one or two things.  I love the frozen section though - they have great frozen fish (the sun-dried tomato salmon pieces are yum) and they have those frozen herbs I mentioned a few weeks ago.  dorat is the brand, I believe.
