i spent $180

[rex]

in FOUR days at Target. Three trips.

Is there a 12 step program I can enter?

I already have a list for the next time I go.

Target is dangerous dude. I spent $700 the first month after baby was born.

what did I buy?

some diapers and formula and I have no idea what the fuck I spent the rest of the $700 fucking dollars on!

it is a sickness

however I only spent $60 last month, so I'm improving

[fuddyduddy]

What did you buy?

If it makes you feel better, I'm sure many people spend $180 on one trip to Target.

[UnderProtest]

Uhm, I spent about that much last night online and then the same today in the store.

[rex]

Oh, I can easily spend that much in one trip too. I just spread mine out into everyday this week!

I didn't really buy anything I didn't have a need/use for. Birthday card, drawer organizers, command hooks, Quinoa for a soup I'm making, conditioner, a mirror, etc. All was on a list.

But it's ridiculous. I could go tomorrow and probably drop $75 in 5 minutes. It's so dangerous!

[sweetnsour]

I always spend a 100$ every time I walk into that store. I stay away at all costs. lol

I have such a hard core love/ hate relationship with Target, for this very reason. H gets all confused; "what could you have possibly bought for $138 in only two bags?" Well... makeup, lotion, shampoo, cheap shoes, toilet bowl cleaner, etc. And we don't even have a kid yet!

Sign me up for the intervention - $215 today on birthday gifts, winter gloves and hats for the boys, stuff for the dog...

[explorer2001]

Yeah I'm pretty sure I spent that on my last trip to Target and I'm single. My Target has groceries and I shouldn't need cleaning supplies for 6 months but still.

[abramos]

I was happy to get out of there yesterday with my bill less than $50. The average I spend is $100.00

This is a dangerous time of year (Halloween to Christmas) for me b/c I always say, "oh I might need that for xyz." Yah, right.

[kangaroo11]

I need to go tonight for last minute shopping before my trip tomorrow. Should be fun!

[pugz]

after Christmas sale fucking kills me ever year

don't let me buy any more trees this year guys

I have like 5

[rex]

After christmas sale is so bad!! I can't help myself, either.

I never need anything on Black Friday, but I somehow walk out of Target spending $200.

I really want to know their secret. Maybe the Target symbol really is hypnotizing.

[thatgirl2478]

between the actual target building and the online target I've spent around $400 in the past 2 days... target is evil!

[cjeanette]

If it was only $180 in 4 days then you are doing good in my book.

[loveday]

I spent that yesterday, and that was after my RedCard discount. Fail.

[rex]

I need a RedCard.

I'm sure I will just end up spending 5% more though.

[Deleted]

I hear ya. we've spent $174 at CVS/Walgreens in the past five days.

I sent SO to get me meds when I had an allergic reaction. he was very concerned so he researched stuff and bought everything he thought might help - benadryl cream, hydrocortisone cream, benadryl, claritin, vaseline, and gatorade.

I now have unopened allergy treatments that I can't return (because he threw the receipt away) so if anyone needs some stuff, just let me know. lol.

then last night I waited 1 hour for the stupid walgreens pharmacy to bottle my 5 little steroid pills, so I spent $84 replacing all my makeup and makeup brushes. I think SO still feels bad that my face has been so messed up because he did not bat an eye.

this was what ended up happening for me. I don't go there very often anymore, especially because I'm on a clothes and shoes freeze right now.

[Ashley&Scott]

We spent $156 at Target last weekend & I spent $13 there today. Thank goodness for the redcard, 5% off & free shipping.

Target is coming to Canada, better start saving.

Lol, that must be it! It's difficult for me to get out of there without spending $100. Avoiding Target this month is a big part of my spending freeze strategy.

[lys]

Shop with a list and a budget. Buy only what is on the list.

In my world, only spending $180 after three trips to Target would be considered restraint. lol
