Why do I keep thinking I'm going to leave this place without spending AT LEAST $100. Why? It NEVER happens. I have a list but do I stick to just my list? NO!!!
Target tempts me every single time I walk through the double red doors that open as I walk in. It's like a red carpet should unroll itself as I enter the doors since I spend so much time at Target.
Why must the dollar spot be so tempting with its seasonal items that almost always catch my eye if not one of my kids' eyes. The marketing people definitely did their homework on merchandise placement and items to sell in this one tiny spot. You aren't even in the store (fully) yet and you are tempted with their "sweet" deals. Before even going any further into the store, my cart already has about $10 worth of items, just by hitting up the dollar spot. I know I'm a goner at that point.
I keep walking and try to head straight to the aisle where the items is located on my list. But, of course someone else happens and I'm detoured off course. Along the aisle is another deal for something else I think the household needs, but is clearly not on my list. Rather than saying to myself that we don't need it at the time, I put it in the cart and question whether it will still be on sale if I don't get it now. Ugh!! $10 more added to my cart.
With every seasonal change of the store, everything catches your eye. The marketing people know their market. They know what people want to look at and what will deter them off course and look at something they obviously don't need but want. Yes, I'm that sucker. haha. Don't laugh, you probably have been suckered by the shiny lights, big red sales or clearance signs, glitter, sparkles, etc. too. Don't worry, you aren't alone. We can commiserate in our misery together...after we've spent not less than $100 of course and veered off course from our list.
I with this Target had more grocery items. I love what's already offered but I would be nice if there was more. It would definitely limit my additional shopping at other places.
I love the deals, cartwheel, mobile coupons, etc. The staff is friendly but it's usually difficult to find someone unless you press one of those buttons and even then it's a bit of a wait.
Don't worry Target, while I'm upset with you that you make my wallet lighter every single time, I enjoy my shopping trips here. It's clean, inviting and I find the best deals here. I'll be back to visit soon...like I always do. read more
