5 Target Products They Quietly Raised Prices on -- and Where To Buy Instead
Many people love Target because it has decent products that are also affordable. However, some shoppers have noticed that certain items have gotten more expensive over the years. If you enjoy shopping at Target but also want to be mindful of your spending, it's worth knowing which Target products have increased in price and where to shop for similar items.
Bluetooth Wireless Gaming Headset

Dinosaur Christmas Decor
Some Christmas decor items are also getting more expensive at Target.
"This is crazy!!! I was scrolling through the Christmas stuff and came across the dinosaurs we bought last year. They are now originally $100 on sale for $60. Last November, I got them for $25," a Reddit user shared in a thread.
Amazon sells a similar dinosaur Christmas decor for just $21.99.
Paper Plates
If you're hosting an event and need paper plates, you may want to get them at Dollar Tree instead of Target. According to this photo shared by a Reddit user, this 54-count paper plate pack went from $6.89 to $15.59, which is more than double the price.
At Dollar Tree, you can get a 40-count pack of paper plates for just $1.50.
Candles
Some home decor and fragrance products have gotten more expensive, too. "There was a candle priced at $19.99, but when I peeled off the white sticker, it was originally $12.99. Insane markup," a Reddit user shared.
If you want to save money on candles, head to Walmart instead, since it has many options under $10.
Monster Energy Drink
According to this Reddit thread, Monster energy drinks (12-pack) used to be $21.49 and often on sale for $19.99 in July 2024. But today, it's gone up to around $25.
If you don't mind trying other brands, Target also stocks Alani Nu energy drinks for slightly less at $21.49.
