If anyone ever tells you that they don't like Target, cut ties with them. Drop them like it's hot. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life. So what if you blow half your paycheck on some pillows or blankets or Essie nail polish (soooooo worth it though)? Live your best life (at Target).

Whenever I go to Target, I can sense my wallet starting to cry.

But as anyone who knows me knows, I go to Target like it's my job. I'm drawn to Target like a moth is drawn to a light; it's like I need it to survive. Happy? Sad? Angry? Doesn't matter what mood I'm in, Target is never a bad idea. But why is it so addicting? What makes this place such a magical wonderland?

1. The Dollar Section

Literally as soon as you walk in you're reeled in by the cheapest of the cheap. That section could convince me that I need a plastic mermaid pin that I would never ever find any use for and would lose (or break) in 3 minutes.

2. The Cartwheel App

The Cartwheel App is Target's app to let you see anything that is on sale and what deals the store has to offer. That app has me thinking I'm saving money buying things on sale, when in reality if I never looked at the app I wouldn't even be purchasing half the items and spending any money at all. Well played, Target.

3. Starbucks

There's normally a Starbucks somewhere in the Target store and man if that doesn't get me every time. What basic girl shopping at Target doesn't want a nice iced coffee to fuel her through the rest of the store so she spends 3x what she wanted to walking in here.

4. The Target Red Card

Because who doesn't want 5% back with each purchase? I know. But man this card really has me thinking that the very little money taken off my bill justifies spending all my money on a cart full of things that I came in not knowing about and not needing and leaving without the two items I intended to buy.

No matter how sarcastic this article was, I will always love and shop at Target. It is and will always be my second home.
