Hello good buy, hello good buy!

I love Target. I mean I really really really love Target! I always go in for one thing and somehow come out with much more than I planned. Tonight I stopped by to only pick up some laundry detergent, yeah right. Somehow we stumbled upon the Women's Department and I found the cutest jacket with an orange tag. Clearance! Then we went to the children's department and they had shorts out that weren't there on Saturday when I started Andrew's summer shopping. I had to get them. Andrew needs them for the summer right? Right. Now I see the Carter's Just One Year 3 piece pajamas are on clearance. Andrew needs those because he's growing like a weed right? Right! Then I found a cute pair of Spider Man swim trunks for my coworkers son, who's about to have a birthday. They go really well with the Spider Man Shirt that I picked up for him too! Now I need a gift bag, tissue paper and a card to complete the gift and this trip to Target. Oh wait! I forgot the laundry detergent. Sadly, that never has an orange sticker on it, but they sent me a clip free coupon so I didn't feel too bad. 45 minutes later my alleged ten minute trip to Target is over. Since 5% of their revenue goes back to the community, I figure I've just reinvested in myself and my community!

You are in horrible-horrible denial. I should be horribly ashamed for you, but I'm not! I love denial, I'll help your cause in a week, we have two Targets you know. Pack light, you've got to get all that crap home somehow, lol.

I don't think I'll bring anything since you have two Target stores right at my fingertips! I need to contribute to your community too!

I LOVE me some Target! I got the clip free coupon in the mail too, those persuasive monsters, of course I am going to go there. I might as well sign over 10% of my paycheck to the red bullseye, because it ends up there anyway.

My mom joked that she heard Target's stock plummeted 15 points the week I was stuck in the hospital, unable to shop. Tragic.

I am SUCH a Target whore.... Before Maddux got 'big' and I had to ditch her small carseat, the kids and I were there once a week. Now that I have to put both of them in the BIG cart together, it's a rarity, which is better for my bank account!
