Spent $100 at Target. How'd that happen?

LIAngel · March 2012

Boy that place sure sucks you in. I bought all of the stuff to put in Nicholas and Ava's Easter Buckets (cute metal pails that will last a while). Bought the stuff for Nicholas' k2 Easter egg hunt. Bought Nicholas a couple of things for his b-day (brand new crayons in a nice case with a big pad of paper) and some formula (can't wait to be done with formula). oh and some M&M's for when we potty train full force.

I never leave Target without spending $100 - I went there yesterday to get some fruit packs for Dillon since my grocer doesn't carry them... yep $100. And I would have spent more but Dillon was with me, so I have to go back this weekend to do his Easter basket shopping =/

Target is the devil! You go in that place to by one thing and I end up with 10 things!!! I sent my DH there one day and all he came back with was exactly the one item I asked for. I even asked him "how did you go into Target and just get that one thing???" Aparently men can go there and not spend a lot : )

I know my husbands secret - he never takes the long way to the grocery area. He doesn't even let me take the long way if we go together. =(

It is so not fun to go to Target with him.

I believe that there are some unwritten laws of the universe. One is I can't get out of a Walgreens without spending at least $20 and another is that I can't get out of a Target without spending at least $100.

You're not alone.

I went today for diapers, wipes, bananas.

I left with all of that, plus a water table, buckets, shovels, watering cans, and a ball-popper machine. SMH.

It is impossible to go to Target and Costco and get out under $100.00. It's even worse if I take my husband. He is notorious for throwing stuff in the cart! He's my budget buster.

I love target though. I haven't been in like two weeks-I might be having withdraws!

Target is dangerous....even when I think I'm getting lots of cheap stuff ($1 bin items for crafts, parties), I still am shocked by the final amount.

$80 is my magic number there. I go there to get bread and I leave with $80 worth of who knows what and no bread. Head, meet desk.

Not sure I have ever gotten out of there for under $100. I have no idea how it happens but it happens every time.

Well it sounds like you did pretty well. I bought a bag of the peanut butter speckled egg M&M's. I ate them all by myself (except 3 that I gave DS) in less than 48 hours.

When DS decided he was ready to potty train a few weeks ago we started with the foil wrapped Reece's peanut butter eggs, a pretty nice treat for peeing. After a day and a half we scaled back to 2 skittles at a time. It did the trick though b/c he hasn't had one accident since we started this time.

Happens to me all.the.time!!! I pph Target but thank God it takes me two buses to get there because it narrows my trips down to once a month.

What I'll do when they open the one that will be 20 minutes from me I have no idea... I should probably get a side job there to feed my habit lol

I always get sucked into the Target trap. I spend way too much money there.

meechrobi · March 2012

$168 for me today. :-/

AlissaCell701 · March 2012

I went by myself this afternoon spent an hour and a half walking around and left with pjs for A, a t ball set for Jake, a case of wipes, all, and some other stiff and spent 168$ ugh!
