I just dropped $224 at Target

[loveday]

OMG, I hate spending money, I really do. When the fuck did living in this area get so expensive? I still have crapton of bills to pay. Goodbye paycheck

[lkoenig]

spending $200+ at Target is not hard to imagine....

[pittsmcgee]

I go in there for toothpaste or cleaning supplies and I come out about $160 lighter each time.
There must be something in the air at that store

[escrow]

This happens to me like, weekly.

[mrsjuleshs]

I avoid Target for that very reason.

[bab]

It sucks doesn't it? I rarely leave there under $50. My normal bill is usually about $100.

[scotty]

We always spend too much at Target. It's like a candy store for adults.

[manzer1979]

I have a Target like 1/2 mile from my house and go there at least weekly. It's so hard to resist spending $$ there. I do have the target debit card though so save 5% ;D

[loveday]

I wish I could. I go there for convenience sake. I can get a few groceries, cleaning items, clothes, household, personal and gifts all in one shot. I'm a sucker. Plus now I have a Target debit card. 5% off! holla!

I always put stuff in my cart and walk around and then end up putting stuff back. Too much impulse shopping!

[melindafelinda]

I never go there anymore because I did a Mint.com thing there and I was spending like half my yearly income at Target.

Exactly this, I can't leave that place without dropping $100, not matter what I went in for.

It's the small of fresh popcorn!

Yeah, avoiding Target is like my #1 money-saving strategy.

Mine too. Starbucks and Target are basically in the same parking lot. Avoiding this area saves me a lot of money!

[scotty]

I don't get a cart when possible, that helps. Anything that I can't hold, not getting.

[idoinjuly]

This is me

[pittsmcgee]

They JUST put a Starbucks in our Target. It's the only Starbucks in the area.
It is my big Friday night plans to go there this evening 8-D

[Kit]

We have a Starbucks in our Target, too.

I feel like by having the Target debit card, I'm entitled to buy MORE things, because you know, I get a discount and all so it's totally worth it. lol

Target gives me heart palpitations. I spend so much time talking myself out of purchases and putting them back. It's not even fun anymore.

This is me shopping for anything for myself ever.

Yep.

I think they use those fucking psychological triggers to the max.

Same for me. I have to go after work to get a new coffee maker since I broke the old one last night. And just in the time it took me to type that I remembered 4 more things I need from there. DAMN YOU CRACK-TARGET!

[jennysmitten]

I have the opposite problem. I can hardley ever find anything in there worth spending my $ on.
