Is Target watching us?

[peach]

I wrote a big long post about my first trip to Target, and it got deleted last night. Just tried again and it did it again! ARGH

Big brother!!

What? Like, it's posting, then deleting? Or it's just not posting?

[peach]

It didn't post. When I hit the back button, my post was gone just an empty Create Post page. usually if I go back, my written post is still there.

this time it just went white and then I got the err bear message. tried going back and got the empty page.

Though, if Target wants to put up some ads, I'd like that because right now I'm getting Pizza Hut and I don't have money for pizza.

In short......my thoughts on Target.

ERMAGERD CUTE STUFF!

-Holy crap, insanely high prices on some stuff! $50 basket? $59 sheets? I'll go with the $34 special at Costco thank you very much. $30 for a new patio cushion? I can buy a new patio chair for a few dollars more! $24 for a plastic gold necklace with plastic beads? WTF! A welcome mat was $30

Some things were definitely great prices, though.

i was way unimpressed with the prices too. i was *hoping* to see more american prices, but why should they? they are new to the canadian market with huge anticipation from customers. people were buying that shit up just because it's new! different! omg target!

that said, i have my eye on a few things already and am waiting until things start hitting the sale rack :-)

also, tampons were WAY cheaper there. $2.99 a box vs. the $7-10 i've paid at superstore/walmart/shoppers. i'm totally on board with that.

I'm annoyed with target at the moment. They have a welcome mat that isn't online and my store is out of and I can't figure what stores have it. its just in the spring preview.

Oh, speaking of sierramist03, no dice here.

Darn thanks for checking. I'm trying to convince DH to hit the two down there but no luck.

What does it look like?  I am headed to Target tonight and could ship it if it's here (probably far from you in MT).

Oh and I think I remember the radio saying something about prices in Canada Targets being about 5% higher b/c of higher building costs/labor costs to build all the new stores and b/c of 2013 Canadian tariffs. Wonder if it will do well? I still choose Target over Walmart and Shopko for home goods in the US, maybe it will become a niche market like that?!

It's $12.99 I haven't had a chance to check the targets in the city yet.

I'm pretty sure I saw it here in Denver a couple weeks ago but I doubt it was that price. That seems low for a doormat but I can check next time I go.

I'm going to have DH check the two he's by too
