To the person who said that Target is the Hundred Dollar Store...
Edited on Sat Mar-10-07 01:07 PM by YellowRubberDuckie
You bastard!
LOL I'm just playing. But just so you know, ever since you said that, we haven't gotten out of there for less than a hundred bucks since you said that.
Dude they have some really NICE shit on their crap rack as you walk in the door for $2.50, like travel journals and coffee mugs. Totally Check it out.

1. That's our dear KitchenWitch.
And she's so right! I even mentioned it to the Target checker the other day, and she laughed.

2. I must be doing something wrong.
I've been to Target twice this month and I still haven't spent a hundred bucks. Less than $50 in fact.:shrug:

5. Are you looking all over the place?
It's insane the cool stuff they have stashed all over that place.

11. Hmmmm....
Maybe you're just more selective? You're lucky though. We would have spent like 20 I guess if it weren't for the groceries.

6. the non-necessities will kill ya
I spent 100 last month there--40 on clothes, 60 on DVDs and makeup.

Target and Costco are great for necessities, but they're just as bad as the next place on DVDs and stuff like that...

12. We have to be careful in the DVD section...
We find WONDERFUL deals there all time on full seasons of tv shows. One Saturday, we found Season 5 of 24 for $24.99. We couldn't turn that down. Next day, it was back up to $50. We knew we had done a great thing. Target farking ROCKS.

8. I just went into the new Super Target the other day and I was like a crack whore
It was awesome. I hated it and loved it at the same time.

15. That's awesome.
That place IS like crack. YOU MUST BUY SOMETHING. What's your favorite section? I always find some useful stuff in the Save Spot.

10. We buy our groceries
Edited on Sat Mar-10-07 02:19 PM by hippywife
at the Super Target in Tulsa and usually don't spend a hundred dollars. We don't usually wander outside the grocery area very much. I've really never seen any clothing there that I like. I've bought a purse, a DVD player, and an ice cream maker before. But we do like it because we have many non-traditional and organic grocery choices that we don't get in normal grocery stores without having to go clear up into town to Wild Oats.

16. I guess if it weren't for Groceries, we wouldn't have spent that much...
We have budgeted 100 per week for groceries and always meet it there. When we go anywhere else, there's not as good of a selection, and we don't get anything not on our list, so it's not as expensive. We always take a trip around the building, because I LOVE Super Target. I swear, we're going to decorate our house this spring with some of the stuff in that seasonal section.

13. I'm not allowed to shop there. Family boycott.
They gave my daughter a very hard time when she wanted to make an exchange.
They were just totally unreasonable.
And she's not a demanding person.

Little known fact:
Wasps are very clannish and VERY loyal.

18. I can tell you one thing that is NOT a good deal there
USB thumb drives. The fricken things are WAY too esxpensive there, seriously if you need one go almost anywhere else but best buy and target.

on second thought, dont go to best buy at all, go to Comp USA or someplace like that when they are on sale.

24. But you also realize that you can get a TON of stuff for $100.
It's not like you get two items and go, what the fuck, but it's more like 30 items and wow.
