Tell me what to look for at Target!

[snickers]

Target is opening here next week, and I can't wait.

What are some things you buy there? (assuming of course that the Canadian Target will be comparable to the American version)...

[rex]

All the things.

Seriously you will have no problem spending money.

Plus, you're pregnant. Baby things!

[snorky]

Anything that fits in my cart, whether or not I need it.

[Deleted]

Everything. Ever.

Especially things I didn't intend to get while there.

[girlfriday11]

Everything you didn't know you needed!

[snickers]

I may or may not have taken the grand opening day off of work, LOL.

[Jalapeñomel]

Stuff.

There is a good reason why we call it the hundred dollar store.

[mrsericnorthman]

Um, EVERYTHING.

I hope your trunk is empty. You're gonna fill it up with crap you don't need but they're soooooo cuute!

[snorky]

Oh, yeah, you're having a baby really soon- you might as well just move in! There's nothing really special about target, but they have everything and that is so helpful if you live somewhere where you need to drive everywhere and you have a little baby that needs to get in and out of the carseat. So, basically, just plan a day or two for each week for target trips. Their nursing tanks are awesome and they have tons of baby stuff. Most of the ones in the US also have a Starbucks in the front, too, and some sell wine.

Pretty much everything. I really like their home décor stuff. It looks nice without being ridiculously expensive.

[nahoku]

I buy everything there, lol. But you'll have to wait for it to be open for a while so you can really take your time browsing the clearance end caps! That's my favorite.

[azurely]

Clothes, home decor, kitchen stuff, school supplies.

I love the dollar section (near the front of the store). I'm a teacher and get stickers, marker boards, marker pens, Spanish dictionaries, cut outs, etc. from there.

[fuckyourcouch]

i have never gone there with a list. just wander the aisles.

[jax373]

Yup, everything. Everything is awesome and completely needed.

[sewpinkgal]

Ditto everyone else.

It is also a great outing with an infant. Grab a coffee and wander around. We were at Target like 3x a week when J was little.

[ginap]

All the things.
Seriously I do most of my shopping there. I get the bulk of my groceries there - cereal, bread, and canned goods all seem to be cheaper there than at the grocery store. Download the Cartwheel app to get additional deals and target.com has coupons you can print as well. Enjoy.

You just go in and supermarket sweep that bitch.

[viciouskittie]

Just an FYI that when Target opened here - we were one of the first Canadian cities to get it - it kind of sucked for a while. They had a hard time keeping shelves stocked and not picked-over, I'm guessing because of the excitement and just learning curve. It isn't like that anymore and you may not have that issue because your store isn't in the first wave or two.

[BAMFMrsB]

I am a $$MM gal, and we have a LINE ITEM in our budget for Target. It goes "Bill, bill, bill, groceries, TARGET, restaurants, bill". All the things, indeed.

[Deleted]

Even if I go there with a list of specific things I need and nothing else, I WILL end up buying other random shit that I don't really need. Its just how Target works.

[Deleted]

At this point I just go around and put things in my cart until N gets restless. Last time she missed out on some sidewalk chalk because she just couldn't keep it together for a full hour. Your loss, kid.

[demelza]

I'm interested to see how you like it once they open. The canadians on here seem to be disappointed more than anything. It sounds like the prices aren't as low as they are expecting and the selection doesn't really capture their attention.

[Deleted]

Everything. There is a Target near my work. I have wasted many a lunch break in there.

H was very impressed with me last week because I went in, stuck strictly to my little list and only spent $28. That has never happened before!

This!!! Seriously, if you don't have $100 to spend on random crap you didn't know you needed, don't even go there.  I have a ridiculous amount of extraneous home decor/baby stuff from Target.

[annyong]

I don't know if anyone's mentioned it yet, but everything.

Also, @tambcat, I kind of forgot how awesome your pregnancy boobs were. Not that they aren't awesome now, but you know.

[cheeseandcrackers]

i love going through there clearance racks too

[janiejones]

Listen. I love Target Canada.

We got our Miele vacuum on sale a couple weeks ago for $100 off the price we already banked on paying. Made in germany.
We bought a new electric kettle for $40 or so. Made in germany.
It has nice things for reasonable prices, and not everything is made in places where workers don't earn a fair wage.

It's not a discounter, it's a good department store.

[Glitter Tits]

Their Archer Farms brand is really good (not sure if your Target has a grocery section). I love their ground sausage and pasta sauce.

[silva]

Who has the Cartwheel ap?! It's awesome!

[ohiowan]

Amber Pumpkin candles, Ella's kitchen anything (they have a great selection), B.you toys
