If you are not an avid Target customer I feel sorry for you. But I also envy you in some ways because you probably don't spend as much money in one place as so many tend to do at Target.

The saying goes, "You don't go into Target knowing what you need, Target tells you what you need." Honestly, I've never related to something more. I could walk into Target with the intention of buying three things and walk out with ten and I know all of you that religiously shop at Target can relate to this.

Super Target has everything one could ever need. From clothing to groceries, to dog food, to toilet paper, to shelving for your apartment or dorm. In one trip to Target, you can get all of your basic necessities and then some. Whenever my shopping list includes a variety of items I know that Target is the first place I need to go because I can usually mark off most, if not all, items in one trip.

I hate to say it but Target is really good at getting you to spend money. Everywhere you look there is a cute bathing suit or mug that you just HAVE to have. Whenever I receive a Target gift card, I know it's never going to last long because every time I go I end up finding something I need. And by need, I mean I just feel like if I don't have it my life will not be complete.

I purposefully avoid going to Target because I know that I'll spend way too much money and buy things I don't need. I could have a list of five things and tell myself I'll be in there for no more than 20 minutes and I walk out three hours later with a cart full.

Going to Target is dangerous for my bank account.

Also, did I mention the dollar section!? WOW. The dollar section continuously blesses my life with the cutest items that you never even thought you needed until that moment. If you don't visit the dollar section first when you get to Target, then you're doing it wrong. Sometimes you realize later on that things aren't exactly a dollar but at that point, you've already decided you're getting the item and you don't care what it cost.

Target is the end all be all. The only that could compete with Target is Costco but they're like two separate entities so it's not even a fair competition. Target is like the twin sister of Costco in a way but like fraternal twins, you know? I love Target and if it ever closes I honestly don't know what I would do with myself.
