Ah, Target. From laundry detergent to electronics to pairs of socks with really cute little patterns on them, you’ll see items galore as you stroll through the aisles of this store with your red shopping cart. What’s not to love? Target’s got everything! But sometimes it has too much… Here’s a few signs that you maybe spend just a bit too much time at Target.
The moment you walk in the door, you’re distracted by the Dollar Section for ten minutes. But c’mon, there’s so many cute things, let me just glance over EVERYTHING.
You pick up one of the weekly ads to check out what’s on sale, and you can literally feel your list growing. My wallet isn’t safe here.
You get really, really, REALLY excited about using the Cartwheel app. I’m saving five percent on this item I didn’t have on my list? In the grand scheme of things I’m only saving a few cents, but at least I’m saving, right?
Seeing sale signs pulls you into a million different directions. I can save money! Do I necessarily need this random obscure item? Nope. Am I going to buy it anyway? Yep.
You end up getting sucked into the clothing section whether you like it or not. I don’t really need another dress BUT they’re on sale for buy one get one fifty percent off. WHY IS EVERYTHING SO CUTE?!
Half of your wardrobe consists of Mossimo or Xhilaration brand clothing. It all sounds fancy but it’s all Target brand. All of it.
Sometimes you pronounce Target like “Tar-jaaaay” to sound fancy.
You get to the holiday section and even though it’s months ahead of schedule, you still find yourself thinking about the holidays. You might even end up buying something from that section. Because Target.
At some point during your shopping trip, you had to take your basket back and get a bigger shopping cart. Self-control has flown out the window at this point and all bets are off.
Somehow you also end up in the cards section, reading all of the funny cards for twenty minutes. And then you try to justify buying a card because, c’mon, somebody’s got to have something worth celebrating that’s coming up.
You get to check out and recognize half of the people working there because you’re there all the time. All. The. Time.
At first, you were going to go through the express lane to pay for your items, but one glance at your cart tells you there’s no way you have ten items or less.
You see the subtotal of your order skyrocketing and you groan at the fact that, once again, you’ve spent way more than you anticipated.
You leave Target, despite the fact that you spent a ton of money, excited for the next time you get to come back because your love for Target is endless.
