I'm trying to remember now whether we've received coupon books from Target. I don't think I actually bought the things it's talking about though, so maybe they haven't figured it out yet. Still, a little creepy that stores can find out so much about you.

One thing that I find very confusing is we get those coupon books and they're baby item related but here's the kicker...they started coming two years ago (I've never had a child before) and they come in my FIL's name. How does that happen?!

I confess, I buy almost everything at Target, they know a lot about me, and I love getting such specific coupons.  $1 off Honey Bunches of Oats? Awesome, that's my favorite.  They also know we prefer Scott Tissue and have an addiction to Lindt Sea Salt chocolate bars (oddly enough, it's not the pregnant lady guilty of this one).  Sure it's creepy, but it's been saving me a lot of money lately

Wow! That funny and slightly creepy. I don't think Target has my number, either, because I've never received coupon books...or my husband throws them away as soon as they come. I love the comment above about their FIL--maybe he's hiding something?
