  • I hate Target because I go in to get like a gallon of milk, and end up spending $100 ::sigh::

  • I am in love with Target. I am so happy we finally got them up here. I have to admit that I was a little sad to read that Crunchymama hates it.

  • I love Target but I get the sads when I shop there because there are so many things I see that I WANT when I walk around but I just cannot justify buying them.

    I love target in general but have a love/hate relationship with mine because things are always out of stock.


    Married my love 8-25-12 TTC #1 September 2012. BFP 2-2-13. DS born 10-16-13.
    TTC #2 in December 2014. BFP 12-31-14. Expecting a September baby!
  • I try to be good and sometimes I can just run in and grab the things from my list without extras, but it's hard. My last trip, I left with two items. The time before that, we spent nearly $200 on things we weren't planning on buying. Mostly baby clothes. Addictive.

    We have 2 super Walmarts but no Target.

  • Usually around $100. If we want to talk places where we always spend a lot, let's talk Costco! We go like every other week and are always over $300.

    We congratulate ourselves anytime we leave Costco having spent less than $100. 

    I can only do this if DH doesn't come with me!

    It's at least $100 just to walk in there. I justify it by telling myself that the two things of formula I bought were at least 40-50 and diapers were 20 so it's all for the baby. Somehow that makes it ok. Lol

    The other day I had formula, diapers, wipes, chocolate, and wine. When I got home and my husband saw what I bought he just laughed..,

    Oh man, this makes me so sad for you!! Walmart gives me anxiety, Target brings me joy!
    It's weird. It's not like we are a small town really. I bet the closest would be 40 min or so? I do spend a ton at Walmart when I go.

  • I can't walk into Target without spending 80+ bucks. Even if I just run in there to buy 1 thing.

  • I have to limit my trips to once a month because I will drop a minimum of $100 without flinching.

  • I was so excited to have Target open up in my city this year, and when I finally went,  I felt cheated. Granted they do have some nice stuff there, much more exciting than the Zellers they replaced here in Cda. But @crunchymama11 is right, it's the same idea as a Walmart. I have to admit though, I am a 'shop local snob' and like to support smaller markets and will go to 10 different places to buy things rather than one stop shopping. 

    Now to be immediately hypocritical.. I do love Costco and our proud amount is $250. Spending less than that seems incredulous! I thought if we went more often we would spend less than the giant $500+ trips we used to do, but apparently, there are always things to find.

  • At least $100 every time. When I say I'm headed to target MH insists on coming with so he can ask "do you really need that?" with everything I put in the cart. Then I spent closer to $50 lol

    Walgreens does this to me. My nail polish collection is vast and unorganized. And I have to buy more chap stick, I just lost another one!

  • I voted 50-100, but that is kind of a lie, because I make two different kinds of trips to Target.  Type #1 involves just shopping around for odds and ends (no list) and ends up being usually under 25.  I would say that happens 1x per month or less.  Trip type #2 is a weekly grocery trip and ends up being between 100-120 usually.  But I totally identified with this comic!  I definitely get 'Target Trance,' like 'ooooOOOoo, look at all the pretty shiny things!'

  • We budget 100 a month for target. So I have to stick to that.

    However a lifetime ago when we didn't budget I would drop hundreds there because I worked in the same parking lot as Target.

  • FFMC: I've never been to Costco! :-O
