Well, I went there to buy the new Swiffer vac (HEB didn't have it yet) and some dog food.

Then I had some impulse buys...

Dog perfume
Dog breath strips (can you tell my dog is stinky after she comes in from outside?) :lol
2 clay pots
A few things from the $1 shop
A video game (the cheap ones)
peaches
cereal

Oh! But I did have a $5 off coupon for the Swiffer!

I could've bought more, but I controlled myself :lol

Sorry, I went to Target late last week for 2 generic alarm clocks for my kids and spent $90.

And the clocks weren't $45/ea. :oops

[MannyIsGod]

Hey! How is the new Swiffer Vac?

Oh, and :lol @ escape.

[Shelly]

I don't know yet. It says to charge for 24 hours. But it beats sweeping and I love the Swiffer Wet Jet.

Here's a $6 off coupon

I think you're thinking of Febreze and that was proven to be false.

Febreze is my sponsor, you know

Now go buy yourself a Swiffer Wet Jet! Don't buy that POS Clorox one!

[Duff McCartney]

In the 410/151 intersection...they are building a Super Target, I guess to compete with that new Wal-Mart. In fact that whole area is exploding with businesses.

I figured it would go faster than that...when they first that Chili's and Lowes, I thought they would bring the house, but they didn't. Only slowly did they add another thing...Johnny Carinos and Crocker Barrel.

But lately everything has been coming out...3 new ones I've seen are Office Depot, Ross, and the Super Target. There's still more buildings around that haven't been bought yet.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I heart you, Mr. Dictionary! Now go out and correct some spelling!


LOL!!

[Shelly]

Get thee a Swiffer Vac asap.

10 thumbs up!

Good for you. Now go in and spend only $2.70, or nothing at all.

It's a multiple step program.

Fuck that. I still need to go to HEB for the power shopping!

[1Parker1]

So what did you buy for $27 bucks?

[Shelly]

some stuff from their dollar spot. That part of the store rules! Peaches, milk, lettuce, grapes, cereal, coke zero, ziplock baggies.

Oh and all their low carb crap is in clearance now that Atkins is going belly up! :lol

I got out of Target yesterday with a $27.26 tab! :wow :wow :wow :wow

[Shelly]

You must have bought the same stuff I did! :lol

And on that note, I'm about to take the boys clothes shopping. More $$$$ and I've already spent half my yearly salary at my second home, HEB, yesterday.

[Horry For 3!]

I've left without spending any.

[1Parker1]

Same here. I'm not that crazy about Target. And I don't think the stuff there is THAT much cheaper than in regular places.

Good job.

Just buy like a CD. :tu

[Shelly]

I don't consider Target a discount place. It's just a store I heart so much.

OMG...First stop--Old Navy. The little one immediately says he doesn't like anything. I read him the riot act and he grabs one of every t-shirt out, size be damned. Read him the riot act again.. Still acts up and gets playing with his friend next door taken away.

Next stop--Kohl's. No problems.

Last stop--Target. The oldest punched the youngest in the stomach because 'he was bugging me' and knocks the wind out of him. Lecture oldest for the 10 millionth time that he has no right to punch his brother, etc. He gets playing outside with friends taken away also and the computer. Both become very quiet and decide to behave. Too bad we are on our way home.

Remind youngest one that if he even thinks of asking if he can play outside, he will be grounded another day.

I am drinking my dinner...

[Cant_Be_Faded]

you're such a mom
what could you possibly need at target after spending 50+ dollars there constantly? :p

[SpursWoman]

There's always stuff you didn't see the last time....or run out of since your last visit....


:)

[Cant_Be_Faded]

if i had 50+ dollars to spend every time i went to target i'd only buy the occasional video game

and some beef jerky

[mookie2001]

applicators, liners...
you cant get ribbons for your Tahoe at most targets

[SpursWoman]

I do usually try to avoid it, though....because I end up buying a bunch of stuff I don't need. Which is Shelly & I's joke about trying to get out of there for less than $50....there's always that horrible cringe-moment right between the moment she/he scans the last item and hits the total key. :oops

I do the same damn thing at Walmart, although at least there I'm usually buying groceries or something... :fro

[3rdCoast]

Just got back from Target and spent 0

Now lets go see what kind of damage I can do at Ingram Park Mall.

Later yall

[ObiwanGinobili]

Same here. I'm not that crazy about Target. And I don't think the stuff there is THAT much cheaper than in regular places.


you know that could be a east coast thing..... my family thats still in Conn, SoCarl and Fla all think that Target ain't all that and that it's sopposed to be some super cheap place ala Wal-Mart.

whereas down here we like to think of Target as Walmarts rich cousin... or where you go when your inbetween walmart and Kohls....... it;s nice. not super nice.. but nicer than Wallyworld.

[Shelly]

Damn...that was a good margarita.

[SpursWoman]

Damn, bubble wrap is expensive. :fro

[Shelly]

SPURSWOMAN!

I have to buy my youngest some birthday presents and while I'm there I may as well do the power grocery shopping.

This is going to be costly! :lol

[MannyIsGod]

Jess and I went a couple nights ago and dropped over 50, AGAIN. Fucking Target.

[SpursWoman]

:lol


I have to go during lunch and I don't want to. We're out of cat food and it's the closest place to me... :oops

[sa_butta]

I went like a week ago to get a shower curtain and wound up dropping like $60 on my daughter.

[sa_butta]

:lol

[Ginofan]

I'm a big fan of the dollar spot. They had a bunch of halloween stuff there last week (including some cool things in the shape of ghosts, dracula, etc, that you put in water and they grow super huge!) my roommate was thinking about picking up some stuff for a halloween party we are gonna have. Target owns.

[sa_butta]

We are planning my daughters 1 yr birthday party with a holloween theme and we went to dollar tree and found alot of decorations and party favors.

[Shelly]

I'm leaving now.

Man, I used to be one of those assholes who laughed at people using the cards to pay for something like fast food. Now I'm one of the assholes who does that. We're all assholes.

Yeah, and now at Taco Cabana and Wendy's you don't have to even sign or enter a PIN. Shit.

[ObiwanGinobili]

i beat the target monster last week! :D

amazingly i only spent $26
a hairdryer
a belt
some resume paper
and 2 size 2T shorts from the clearence section.


although...... if I had more time I think I would've bought the whole toddlers clearance section..... :(
my mom is coming for my next doc's appt and we are plannign on hitting Target that day.... i have a feeling that the Target will get it;s revenge 3 fold for my blasphemous less then $50 trip.......

pray for me!!

[Shelly]

I live by the almighty Visa check card. I NEVER have cash either. In fact the only reason I do right now is because Target forgot to scan my coupons!

Anyway, I bought my son his presents and my bill came out to what I normally spend at HEB (I shop every 2 weeks when we are out of everything). Granted, I didn't buy meat or cleaning supplies, but I really have been annoyed with HEB lately and their pricings and never having brand names or new items.

The downside to Target is that I always get shocked when I open their frozen foods doors :wow

[spurschick]

(including some cool things that you put in water and they grow super huge!)

I think they have stuff like that at the Megaplex. :lol
