Also on Wednesday, a nationwide 40-day consumer boycott of Target began. The price hikes have nothing to do with this boycott.

The boycott is over Target's recent decision to stop its diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) program. Target announced an end to its hiring goals for minority employees, shortly after President Donald Trump took office.

"We’re asking people to divest from Target because they have turned their back on our community,” Rev. Jamal Bryant, a prominent Atlanta-area megachurch pastor who started the boycott, told CNN.

The boycott started on the first day of Lent, Wednesday, March 5, and is scheduled to end on Thursday, April 17.
