As a mom, I know the stereotype that surrounds Target — and I lean into it hard. Target has always been the only big box store I like, mainly because I'm able to find must-have parenting products at an affordable price. (Plus, it has a Starbucks — how can anyone hate on that?) Just seeing the plethora of kid products at Target for less than $1, makes leaving the store with only the items from your list ext to impossible.
As if the $3 to $5 dollar section at the front of the store isn't enough, there are actually quite a few items less than $1 that parents will want to put in the cart the minute they see them. Have a new baby on the way? There are $1 items to help you prepare for the arrival. Stuck with Room Mom duties for the week? The $1 items can get you through.
Whether it's back-to-school supplies, hair accessories, baby food, or mom necessities, there are plenty of items for less than $1 that will save you time (and, of curse, money.) So the next time you're searching Target's website or running into the store for something, consider pick up the items below.
