Let's take a moment to talk about Target. I have no idea how it does this, but whenever I walk into the store to buy one thing, I always walk out with 20. No other store does this to me, but Target is, as some would call it, truly the “Store of all Trades.” Though it may end stressfully, let’s just take a moment to share the thrill of a trip to our favorite store, told television’s favorite shopping addict, Rachel Green.
1. Welcome to the parking lot, may the odds be ever in your favor
You just packed up for a weekend vacay with your friends when you realize you left your phone charger plugged in at home. Since you’re too far to go back, you stop to your local Target to pick one up. For your quick run, you search for the closest spot to make your in-and-out as fast as possible.
2. The initial rush
While already being in a time crunch, since they said five, and it’s now 4:45, you’re blood is already pumping. Adding the Target touch just makes it even more thrilling, as you hurry back to get what you need.
3. Food, Clothes, Deals, Oh My!
We all know what happens when we want to get just one thing. As you make your way to the desired aisle, you get thrown into the rabbit hole of cute dresses,
4. The unexpected restock
As you continue your way through the store, you look towards the food aisle and realize that your cupboards are completely empty. I mean, since you’re already here why not pick up groceries while we’re at it.
5. At least Pinterest would be proud
Once your cart is full of groceries for the next month, you see the perfect lamp and picture frame that would add the best touch to your DIY inspired room, so obviously you need to get it.
6. Finding your purpose
You’re making your way up to the checkout, pushing a full cart, when you realize you completely forgot the one thing that brought you there in the first place. Luckily, as you make your way to the front of the store, they have chargers at the checkout.
7. “Oh, the Horror!”
Yes, you found some great deals, but as the cashier totals you out it looks like your awesome deals total to the amount of your budget for the month.
8. Acceptance
So what do you do? You must weigh your priorities. In the end, you choose a staycation with yourself and some of your favorite ice cream that you purchased at today’s outing.
