I love these fun Miniverse Target Foods! If you missed out on previous sales, they are BACK on sale for $4.99 (regularly priced at $9.99).

TARGET BRANDED MERCH MINIVERSE 

Honestly, I had never made any of these Miniverse foods before, and had a lot of fun making the Target Foods Miniverse. I did make all 12, and I can tell you I was surprised at some of my favorites.

I felt the easiest ones were the Caramel Popcorn, Salad, Pizza, and Blueberry Pancakes, but how could you not love the darling Bullseye the Dog cookies?

If you are looking for a particular one, here are some hints to help determine which Miniverse Target Foods are inside the capsules if you can shop in store.

Target brand exclusive miniverse sets

There are twelve different varieties, and what you will get will be a surprise. There does not appear to be any distinctive markings (despite rumors to the contrary) to definitively determine what is inside before you buy. The twelve are as follows: Lava Cakes, Ice Cream Sundae, Madelines, Mini Cupcakes, Frosted Sugar Cookies, Bullseye Cookies, Lobster Ravioli, Margherita Pizza, Mixed Salas, Blueberry Pancakes, Cinnamon Rolls, and Caramel Popcorn.

All of them include a super cute Bullseye the dog that can be attached to the lid of the ball and fun stickers.

Target brand exclusive miniverse bullseye cookies

The first one I opened made me so happy! It was the Bullseye Cookies. This one weighed in for me a 90.3 grams or 3.18 ounces.  Because of the basket, it made a heavier rattle sound when lightly shaken. It sounded and felt like something heavier was in there.

Included in this set are a Plastic Shopping Basket, cookies, display tray, tongs, knife, stickers, frosting, and Bullseye The Dog Shapes to place on the frosted cookies.

The Ice Cream Sundae is really cute! This one weighed in at 96.4 g or 3.4 ounces for me. When you gently shake it, there is not much noise and it feels very compact. Included in this set are an ice cream container, tongs, spoon, scoop, two waffle bowls in a box, shopping bag, stickers, cherries, sprinkles, chocolate syrup and whipped topping.

For those of you who want to be completely surprised, or just don’t want to try to figure out the weights in store, I highly recommend ordering online. So far, all the ones I have opened have not disappointed!

Target Price Match Guarantee Update – What You Need to Know!

Target News & Notes

Photo of a Target Store to shop with Target price match guarantee

Way back in 2012, Target added select online retailers in it’s price match guarantee. Sadly, Target has changed their price match guarantee effective today, and it  now excludes competitors. 

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

There are a few things you need to know before requesting a price match. Now, Target will only match the price if you bought a qualifying item at Target and then find the identical item for less at Target online, in Target stores, or with Circle deals that auto apply at checkout. 

Target will only price match the EXACT same item and you can request at the time you make your purchase or within 14 days.

You will need to show proof of purchase at Guest Services in store. OR if you purchased online or in the Target app, you will need to call Guest Services. Their phone number is 1-800-591-3869.

In order to price match, the price of the item must be valid at the time of the price match. If Target is unable to verify pricing, they have the right to decline your request. For Circle deal price matching, you will need to sign in, sign up or enter your mobile number at checkout to verify proof of price.

The original receipt or packing slips are required for price adjustments up to 14 days after you made your purchase. 

NOTE: You can not price match between Target stores. IE you must price match at the store you made your purchase.

Target will price match in all 50 states, however, Hawaii and Alaska are excluded for price matching with items online or prices thru the Target app.

You can not combine registry completion or Target coupons with a price match. Manufacturer’s coupons are applied after a price match, and only on purchases made in-store.

TARGET PRICE MATCH EXCLUSIONS

There are also some exclusions from the Price Match Guarantee at Target. Here is what is EXCLUDED:
