Am I the only Target junkie?

I just got all kinds of good stuff there for my house!! A new shower curtain, bath mat, and towels to match. Curtains for 3 of my windows in my house! Jeez, I never come out of there without spending at least $200! But that is cheap for all the stuff I got!

:P

;)

:hi:

:hi:

:P

Watch where you're sticking that tongue! :P

I loves me some Target!

They have some cute clothes, shoes, jewelry, house stuff... Jeez...

Whoever lays that place out -- as well as Bed Bath and Beyond -- is a genius. My eyes glaze over as soon as I enter and I find myself flinging things into my cart endlessly repeating "I need this, I need this, I need this..."

he buys tires and mulch. I buy digital cameras and outdoor furniture.

;)

I did have to get a tire at walmart once! :shrug:

Target is and always has been of higher quality that Wal-Mart, in my not-so-humble opinion. For quality comparison, I'd put Wal-Mart on the same level as K-Mart. I'm from Minnesota and I've been shopping at Target since childhood, waaaaaaaay back when Target was still "discount Daytons" and owned by the Dayton family.

If I remember correctly, Target and Wal-Mart were born the same year (1962). Target's no johnny-come-lately, though some people think it is.

It's a heavily red company.

she does the same thing. We run in for toilet paper and end up spending $100.

I just shopped there Monday night
I always get $50 Target gift certs (Incentives)
I love the place!!!!!

That would really be dangerous for me!! I had some sense that day and said no!

;)

I am heading off to Target to buy two storages cabinets which are on sale.

I already have two.

I am putting all my stuff in the cabinets, less dust to deal with.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

That's a good one.

The only Target junkie! Ha! You slay me!

:rofl:

It's red, red, red...

philosophy for everything or else I would have to stay home!

I live in Minneapolis where the T*rget HQ is. My wife and I try to only shop at Costco.

:shrug: I can't help it; I love me some Target!

It's very convenient, good prices. Plus, they sell Method cleaning products there! :)

and they were wiped out. I got laundry detergent and bathroom cleaner. I needed dish soap but they were out. gotta go back.

freaking out with happiness over them I didn't get it. I don't usually shop there because they ship their overstock to Big Lots anyway so I get it there. :hi:

this great furnture stuff from Target at Hudsons for like $10 that would have been $200!! I just can't dig so I never go to Hudson's!! And I never find the stuff that she does!


:hi:

There is an existing one across town that is a couple of years old but it's not as easy to get to.

We will have two Targets! There's a new Lowes near my house too! :woohoo:

The second Target will probably finish off the last remaining K-Mart in a 12 county area. The K-Mart is an easy walk or bike ride from my house. I try to avoid the giant super Walmart on my side of town. There are two WalMarts in this area.

surround my neighborhood. I have a grocery store, Target, Best Buy, PetsMart, Lowes, and yes a Wal Mart. It really helps to just make a quick trip!

When I get home I can park my car if I want too and go on foot or by bike.

I can walk or bike to three grocery stores, lots of restaurants, pharmacys, K-Mart, local shopping centers and stores and businesses, a local garden center with a tiny post office inside of it, churches, gas stations, AutoZone, schools, my optometrist and (most importantly of all) the upscale liquor store!

:)

x( They sell beer but no liquor. So when I go to my fave Mexican restaurant, no margaritas! Thankfully I can go about 10 miles and get it if I wanted to!

however, many cities and counties don't allow Sunday restaurant alcohol sales or don't allow liquor to be sold in stores or restaurants, don't allow any alcohol to be served in restaurants, ban bars and clubs, and many places are totally dry.

only liquor is banned on Sundays. But I could say get a bloody mary at some restaurants on a Sunday. Some towns will sell beer but only hot. And yes, many towns are dry!! :o Crazy I tell ya!

but the baby pretty much has us going to Kroger on a more repetitive basis.

I loved Target when I was single. Lets just say it worked out well for me on 3 occassions :evilgrin:

I will definitely have to curb my spending when I have a baby! (if one would ever come dammit)

:P

Housewares

:bounce:

The assembly instructions are funny most of the time -- translated from the original Greek or something -- but it's well designed and a good value, imho.

but I was very disheartened the last time I was in the pet aisle. They had a cat toy, a gray mouse that was made in china and it was definately cat fur. So sad.

I haven't had to drive to the Jackson Target since Hattiesburg got one.

Now we just drive up for Bass Pro...and I hear that there's an awesome Asian restaurant up there with a sushi bar.

talking about Ichiban (sp?) I have heard very good things about it, but I am no fan of Asian cuisine!!

:hi:

My back doctor is off of Lakeland, on Layfair Drive. I'm glad to know that there's a Target up there. :D

Ichiban! That's it! A guy friend of mine asked me to go up with him last week and eat, but we had a lot of family stuff going on.

So, what's your fave restaurant in Jackson? We at at the Islamorda (I think that's the name) right after it opened--at Bass Pro Shop, and it was overpriced and not too good.

Target, Lowes, Best Buy, PetsMart, Kohls, Babies R Us, Belk, Gap, Pier One, etc. So many new stores. Lakeland is booming!

I have to say Amerigo's is one of my favorites as is Char. Both are so yummy! We did eat at the Islamorada while in Bass Pro and it was so-so! They are putting in a new shopping center right over there by Bass Pro. I can't wait. Also, Madison is getting a Saks 5th Avenue!! :woohoo:

My god...I thought Hattiesburg had caught up with Jackson...or was on the way. But if y'all are getting a Saks, I guess I'll keep having to drive up. :D

Supposed to really hurt Northpark. Also we are getting a boardwalk on the reservoir with all kinds of stores. We are so moving up!! :P

I really love Hattiesburg though! There is some good shopping there too!

so that I can drive up and do some shopping. My best gal pal's family always camps for a month at the reservoir, so I'll probably spend a night or two with them and get some fishin' in, too.

Yeah, the Lakeland area was really growing the last time I was up there. I haven't "pissed around" in Jackson in a long time...need to do that soon.

Need to get up to the Golden Moon, soon, too. But we're waiting for the waterpark to open before we go...so probably early June. :)

I really liked that bar they had in the "moon" area. It is a circle! Sort of reminded me of New York (notice I said sort of)!

I'm glad y'all went!

Yeah, the bar up top in the globe...it was kind of scary to me...you could feel it sway when the wind blew!

:scared:

I am a total SuperTarget junky. It is my guilty pleasure.

They opened a new one in Roseville MN (on the site of the first ever Target, BTW) less than a year ago, and I find myself there at least once a week for something or other. Besides, where else can you pick up cold medication, the latest DVD, some drill bits, a yoga mat, a capo for your guitar, some undies, and a dozen eggs?

:o Maybe that is just me!! ;)

And a little bag of popcorn...yummy. :D

Credit Card. Check.

Overspending justified, because bought lunch for $1. Check.

I also get a serious jones for Chi Tea Lattes (made with soy milk)

I'm not much of a shopper but I was still happy as heck when we got a Target a mile away :headbang:

Great, great store. Wide aisles, clean, eclectic stuff. We didn't have a lot of money to furnish my daughter's dorm room but got everything we needed for a little over $100! And that included all of the bedding, towels, make-up mirror, lamp, phone, clock radio. And the stuff wasn't crap like at W*Mart. They also have a great selection of anti-Bush cards and a great book section. I love this store.

My daughter, a freshman at a Boston college and from a tiny town in Maine, was worried about what the other dorm mates would think, but she got so many compliments on her stuff. Her color theme was pink and brown and that was just a hit with her city floormates.

That rocks too.

That's what I call a "twofer"

Can't beat it!!!

:rofl:

Top that!!

It is a rather red company on the same level as Walmart.

I say just bite the bullet sometimes!

I love it. The clothes are even decent, for the price. Just bought 3 tops I couldn't resist the other day; been wearing the hell outta them.
The toddler clothes are pretty good too.

there a lot! Yep, we sometimes say Tarjay!! :P

...and I am a Target addict. I go there at least 2x per week!

:hi:
