Target sees a new trend in shopping where less process foods are being bought.

"This is a very noticeable sign of the shift away from packaged goods, since other grocers haven't shifted quite so dramatically," said Amy Koo, a senior analyst with market research firm Kantar Retail. "Fundamentally, food suppliers are going to have to grapple with this new landscape."

They don't want to compete with the Dollar Stores in cheap canned and processed foods. That is OK because I don't shop there. I have a Dollar Store budget.

Other stores could follow the trend to stock less packaged foods.
