Giovanni at Target!!!

[1953Diygal]

Yee haw!

We were at our neighborhood Target yesterday, and they have selected items from the Giovanni line. They have the Tea Tree S&C, the leave-in, the 50-50 S&C and the Smooth as Silk S&C. They also have some styling products.

The best part is the items are $2+ cheaper than at Whole Paycheck! The S&C are $7.99 instead of the $10 or so that they charge at Whole Foods.

Oh, they also have Alba Botanica (yay! lotion!) and some Jason items. In our Target, they were where the majority of the Burt's Bees stuff used to be

Whohoo! I hope they've got them at the Target I go to too. Whole foods stuff is pricey.

[OhioLisa]

Sweet! Thanks for the tip!! :D I hope mine has it too!

[jojo]

wish we had a Target store in the UK :o(

I have noticed so many other brands, previously one would have to order on line or from a catalog, popping up in stores like Target and Walmart.

It's nice to be able to try something you can actually go pick up while shopping.

[Sorus]

Oooh, excellent! I tried Giovanni 50:50 a few days ago because I found a 32oz bottle with a pump top at Costco for $12. I'd love to try the Tea Tree one; I see a trip to Target in my future.

A tip for folks before they actually go trekking to a target store...

Go to Target's website, and type "Giovanni" in the search box. It'll come back with the Giovanni products. Pick the product you're most interested in (though if they have one product they probably have most), and hit the "Find it at a target store".

Punch in your zip, and voila.

My favorite Target store, for instance, doesn't have it (it says Out of Stock, which may also be an euphemism for "We don't and won't carry it"), but one a bit down the road from me in another location does.

Whole Paycheck!?!?

:rollin::rollin::rollin::rollin::rollin::rollin:

I'm dead! I have never heard that expression before! I am seriously laughing so hard right now in front of my computer.

Otay, I'm calm now. I don't know what Whole Foods everyone is shopping at, but mine (Time Warner building in Columbus Circle in NYC), always sells the Giovanni products for 7.99. Thats teh same price for them at Wegmans too (A 'Whole Foods' like store I found in PA).

Whole Paycheck... HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[AmandaPanda]

They go on sale at Whole Paycheck occasionally :)

For anyone who shops at Kroger, they have added Giovanni products in the Nature's Market areas also. I'm not sure if this is nation wide but hopefully it will be. I'm just glad that chain stores are willing to carry this type of stuff. Maybe they are starting to realize that not everyone likes chemicals.

WOOT! I checked it out with this, and the three stores nearest me (including the one in the same plaza as my workplace) carry it! I'm going to Target soon!
:cheese:

Can anybody recommend an *extremely* moisturizing Giovanni shampoo and conditioner for hair that has been stripped, bleached and dyed red (i.e. parched)? It's also very fond of cones...I have a Target up the road and I bet their prices are better than Earth Unfair (Earth Fare, hahaha)

[cutastrophe]

yep, just bought some today! :)

[Nynaeve]

Hmmmm. Never tried any of thos products but I might if we have them at our Target.
Thanks for the tip. :)

I got the 50/50 conditioner today! It took me a while to find it, as I'm not particularly familiar with the layout of this Target.
The smell of the 50/50 conditioner is almost exactly the same as the Trader Joe's nourish spa that I have-- I don't dislike the smell, but I would have preferred something different, and more vibrant. I smelled Smooth as Silk (citrusy, actually it reminded me of a milder version of the TJ's Citrus Refresh line!) as well, and Tea Tree Triple Treat (smelled like... tea tree oil, boo).

It is NOT with the normal shampoo and conditioners-- as mentioned in the OP, it's with the Burt's Bees stuff (I didn't realize that was relevant, but eventually saw the Burt's Bees stuff, and knew to start looking around there). It's two or three aisles over from the hair stuff aisles, in my Target. With the cosmetics, IIRC.

They also had some J/A/S/O/N stuff there, tiny little sample bottles of the Giovanni line (for $1.99 each), Avalon Organics products (several different shampoo and conditioners-- pretty bottles). I think there may have been a few more brands that I forgot, but those were the main ones. The Avalon stuff was also priced at $7.99 a bottle.

Thanks for the heads up, 1953Diygal!

Your so right. I was at Target yesterday and noticed it too. It was near the other organic lines. My target carries the travel size bottles for 1.99. Im happy because i want to give it a trial run before I buy the regular sized bottles.

[Teacherbear]

Now that you say that, I remember seeing it there the last time I went. It does seem a bit cheaper than it is at my WF. I didn't notice that my Target had that large of a selection of products, though. I'll have to look more carefully the next time I go. Thanks for posting this!

[Patrycja]

that is so awesome! I pay way too much for JASON stuff at the Whole Foods store here.

[Carolyn]

I got some Triple Tea Tree or whatever it's called conditioner today. Woo Hoo!

[Beesweet]

Okay, it must be too early in the morning. I thought "Whole Paycheck" was a store y'all had up North!
Once I figured out it was Whole Foods it gave me a huge laugh. That's my new name for it, for sure.

Anyway, excuse my ignorance, but what's the big deal about Giovanni?
I checked my Target and it has it, and my hubby and one kid might love it.
I have a hubby with straight hair and scalp issues, and a girl with relaxed, damaged hair.

The rest of us are wurly to very curly.
Any tips on this product for us? Thanks.....

I was just about to ask if anyone in the MD/DE/PA area had seen any in their local Targets. This area seems a little slow to get stuff that other areas get quickly (example: the new Herbal Essenses). But, I went on the website and it says the one in Dover, DE has them all! I'm so excited. It was time for me to get some conditioner anyway and now I can get some new ones to test out!

[Kittee]

They have Jasons at ours! I love their Tea Tree oil shampoo! Keeps my scalp in order!

[pgw]

:cheese:

Thanks for posting this! Next time I'm around Target I'll have to check it out. I'd like to give the 50/50 conditioner a try.

[2BThinAgain]

We have Giovanni at the local grocery store, Bi-Lo. They have been putting it on sale fairly regularly for $6.
