Target’s grocery section is slept on—over the last year I’ve discovered so many quality staple items in-store priced lower than the competition. While I might be late to the party as far as Target’s food and drinks selection is concerned, shoppers smarter than me know there are many hidden gems in those shelves, and should be snapped up immediately. Here are seven Target pantry items shoppers are obsessed with right now.

Perfect for a quick snack or meal, and I love that they use organic ingredients. Definitely my go-to!” one shopper said.
Good & Gather Tomato Paste
Target
Good & Gather Tomato Paste ($1.29) is a fan-favorite Target buy. “The best tomato paste that I have ever bought. Tastes very good and gives a nice color and taste to your food.

The Good & Gather Semi-Sweet Chocolate Baking Chips ($3.29) are wildly popular with Target shoppers. “Actually quite impressed with these,” one customer said. “Really nice milk chocolate flavor. Didn’t bake with them so can’t say how they do baked. But perfect when you want a little sweet in your yogurt, pancakes or just to snack on.”
