Target

wildhoney4508

I have to get out of the house today. I get cabin fever so badly, but yesterday it poured and we had visitors on tues so that leaves me with today as "my day." (Well, mine and my girls-alone time? What's that?) One word-target. Ah that big red dot I can spot from a mile away!! Just for fun, what do you like to get at Target? (Non-essentials and essentials are welcome)

BTBergstrom

Monster trail mix!! I always pick up a bag when I am there. Get it it's yummy

I flipping love Target. I mean, I really love it.

I always buy diapers, pulls up, and wipes from Target. They're cheap and they work.
I pretty much like anything made by Up and Up especially their knockoff of Aquaphor and Dove body wash.
Pretty much all of DS's clothes are from Target. I love their Cherokee pants and $5 Circo tees.
I love just browsing through their home department. They have so many pretty things. I just bought a console table online last week and it's gorgeous!
I pretty much like buying everything there because of Cartwheel coupons and the extra 5% off I get by using my RedCard.

Everything I don't need. I literally walk around the entire store and throw shit in the cart. Clearance sections on the back of aisles are my fave.

SassyFlats

Oh man... I'm notorious for just walking around and throwing random things in my cart! I have so many throw blankets and unopened candles!

I love Target. Where I used to live I had two really nice ones within five miles. Now the closest one is 45 minutes away. It makes me sad as it's been tricky taking all three kids that far by myself, but I've saved so much money.

Things I get at Target...lots of up and up brand cleaners, trash bags, etc. I also love a lot of their seasonal items. I can spend a lot of time just browsing through the store, Starbucks in hand. That sounds nice right about now.

I am another Target obsessed mom! I make way too many purchases, especially now that I have DD! I love their baby clothes. And womens' clothes. And shoes.

SurpriseAt39

Sadly, our Target stores in Ontario are so poorly stocked I have only ever purchase a few random things since they opened here in Canada.

I got DD some bras and I got DS1 a Maple Leafs splash pant and jacket set.

I've gone to several locations to look around, sometimes for specific items, and most locations have empty shelves in a lot of sections. It makes me not want to go.

kimberpoo

bathing suits and clothes for sure! outdoor/seasonal items, and of course, the clearance shelves. love those hidden endcaps with discounted stuff in the different departments.

teachermommy9967

Love the kids cloths!!

linzy523

Target has been a life saver for me! I walk up and down every section! I love going through the clearance racks in the baby section and getting clothing a few seasons ahead for LO. I also go through the sections from past holidays (loving all the Easter stuff now) so I can stock up cheaply for next year!

Target and I have a huge problem.

"I'd know my acct was stolen if there were charges from places other than Target"
I love clearance!!!
I don't however do a lot or groceries there, but everything else!

Eta: now I want to go to target

Me too but it will have to wait until tomorrow. We have to go to the city anyway to pick my dad up from the airport so we're going early to get some Target time too .

I love the home section and the baby clothes. The little leggings pants are a great deal and they have some really cute outfits. I like their sandals and also peruse the clothes. Love target!

maganonymous

There are literally 7 Target stores within 5 miles of my house (yes, I actually counted out of curiosity one day)...Target and I have a love/hate relationship because of that...I love shopping there, but hate that it drains my money so quickly!!! I'm at Target for something almost every day...it's pretty terrible. We buy just about everything there. We get our baby stuff, all of our personal care items and cleaning supplies, some groceries (but we buy most of our groceries elsewhere), some of our home decor stuff, some electronics, a clothing item or shoes here or there...pretty much everything they sell haha!

wildhoney4508

Duh let me respond to my own post lol

Love their up and up anything basically, swim wear (whole family), frames (cause who doesn't always need one?!?), baby and kids clothes, dollar bins, makeup, random groceries I probably don't need but that "look good," books/coloring books for DD1, storage containers, candy no one "needs" but for some reason Target makes it look so much better on their shelves, and I loved their maternity jeans and tees the most-very stretchy and comfy! I'm sure there are more. I always load up my cart with stuff I don't really have a dire need for... But I leave feeling like a million bucks! (But never spending nearly as much

clo1982

I love target!! We pretty much use all the up and up products from diapers/wipes to all home cleaning and health/beauty items. I live the mossimo t-shirts! Less than $10 and so soft and comfy! I have like 20 of them! Also very random but they have great toddler socks that actually stay on!

Yes, then, go!! also, I can relate to the "problem" you have with them...whenever I walk out the house, DH says, "don't spend too much" or "you're only getting the one xyz thing, right??" Ha! Never the case!

It's been raining all week and I've been trapped inside. I literally take the baby to Target daily for something to do.

I hear people using EASY, ours is EAST (eat activity sleep Target)

When they added Starbucks to target it was deemed my natural habitat.

Great.. now I want to go look at sandals.

LaurenAsh23

Omg, glad I'm not the only one obsessed with their monster trail mix. I always start with either a Starbucks or pop when I get there. We usually grocery shop there too. I always look through the baby clearance stuff. If I have time I look through the underwear, shoes and clothes.

jessher

I used to have 3 Super Targets within 15 minutes of my house when I lived in FL. Here in TN I only have a regular Target and after 6 years I'm still bitter.

PerkyErky

I love target! In fact I was there yesterday. If I hadn't needed to get home to pump...I would have spent WAY more money than I did!

CruiseGirl28

I LOVE Target. There's one near my new work and I went there almost ever day on my lunch break.

ladyglittersparkles

I will target tomorrow, because I will already be out and I mean WHY NOT

I think we need a daily "Shit I bought at Target" checkin.

Yes, let's!

I'm glad I'm not the only one with bad shopping habits at target. I love that the target closest to us is a super target with grocery and starbucks! I buy a lot of groceries, diapers, jewlery, home decor, and vitamins at target.

I approve this message

linzerd

MH works across the street from a Target, so we get almost everything there and every week he will also go to the grocery store for whatever we can't get at target. So I never get to go. But they have great greeting cards there and always get them there.

Also, you should all know that I'm hanging out in the backseat of my car in the Target parking lot nursing the baby. The cart guy has been 2 feet from my window for oh... Like 15 minutes now... Waiting on a show, buddy? I'm pretty good at covering these tatas up before the nursing cover comes off. Go on now...

This was EXACTLY me a couple weeks ago! LOL! Except replace cart guy with landscaping crew... Eek

SomersIsles

Ps. Reading this thread is almost as fun as going to the actual store

wildhoney4508

Ok, so Target never happened bc DD1 has not napped at all today and i just couldn't get my act together ugh This has never happened so I had a worry-wart kind of day. (It's ok bc I made it up to myself by ordering take-out for lunch) I will go tomorrow foh-rizzle! And yes @BTBergstrom and @LaurenAsh123 I'm going to get the monster trail mix! That stuff is so delish!

Edit: DD2 didn't nap...yes the 6 wk old so yea that was a shocker...guess mama needed one as well

ahc1503

Lurker here, but talking about Target brought me out!!!

Target is now my "go to" place with baby! I will need nothing, make up a reason to go, just to walk around. It's my safe place with baby!! It's only about 3 min from my house, yes there is a Starbucks, and baby mostly sleeps during the trip!

I also buy all the things at Target. Especially with clearance tag. I bought groceries there today.

I'm going tomorrow. For a mobile. Because I decided tonight that baby needs one.

Brich3321

I went to Target on Tues...my bill was $208 and after coupons, Cartwheel & the gift card deals I got it down to $150!! I freaken LOVE Target. I bet I go 3 times a week. I start by getting a Starbucks to enjoy while I just wander around looking at pretty much everything!!

bumpuser1282882

The closest Target is an hour away so I've only ever been there a handful of times.

AriaAmante143

Our Target doesn't have a Starbucks but it's attached the mall, which has a Barnes & Noble with a Starbucks in it. Close enough! Don't forget from now until May 10th frappuccinos are 1/2 off from 3-5

BTBergstrom

I wanted to add that I went to target this week (picked up my monster trail mix) took ten min to get there heard lo exploading in her diaper then spent ten min in the bathroom cleaning her up... I almost turned around and went home.

kaking78

Target was the first place I went alone after I was cleared to drive. I use their pharmacy so I have an excuse to go there on a pretty regular basis.

In the last week I've bought diapers, clearance Easter candy, an airbed, groceries (we buy a lot of our staples there), and allergy meds.

ladyglittersparkles

@CaseAndDave‌ target was our first outing too!!!

^Speaking of, our first outing with DS was to Target, like 4 days after birth! 

Can we for real have a check in? If it wasn't for someone mentioning it, I would not have known about that diaper deal this week!

Done!
