All of their target brand stuff is so pretty... And maybe the layout of the store? I think someone in their corporate office figured out the optimal layout to make people buy things they didnt know they needed.<br /> We have a City Target across from my work. Trouble! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power/page/2#post-1025232 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 19:08:51 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1025232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target is magical (and financially draining) for certain items. I even have a "Target" category in my monthly budget! Love their $5 movies, cheap jersey dresses, home decor and random personal and cleaning supplies. I cannot get out of either Target or Costco for under $100. They've got me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power/page/2#post-1025216 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 19:00:11 +0000 Katrocap 1025216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target also has a great returns policy which is especially helpful if you buy a baby item that doesn't work out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power/page/2#post-1025035 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 17:19:51 +0000 T-Mom 1025035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do love target because there is something for everyone there. Also some Targets have more to offer than others. Mine is a SuperTarget and it has nice food brands and selection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power/page/2#post-1025032 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 17:19:05 +0000 lovehoneybee 1025032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love that I can get everything there. And they have a great store brand food line (Archer Farms, I think?) They have this blueberry pomegranate sorbet that is to die for. And buffalo mac and cheese. And all sorts of interesting things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1025029 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 17:15:57 +0000 MapleMoose 1025029@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Target for certain higher quality items but I'm not under the spell </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1025021 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 17:12:47 +0000 mrsjyw 1025021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i often leave target without purchasing! :O... honestly tho, it's my "me-time" getaway that is open 'til 10pm, so I hop over there (2 are within 3 miles from me) after ds goes down, esp on nights that i work from home, just to get my stir craziness out !:) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1025017 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 17:11:15 +0000 MsMamaBear 1025017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Three words: manufacturer coupons, Target coupons and Target Cartwheel.

It's so easy to go just to get toilet paper, and then wander over to housewares, and oh, that ceramic owl is so cute...</p> <p>I really believe whoever designed their store is a genius. It really feeds those addictive parts of my brain! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1024883 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:22:51 +0000 MrsH 1024883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me either its pretty much just like meijer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1024880 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:22:00 +0000 Boheme 1024880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I puffy heart love Target. It's nicely organized, I can check out in a decent amount of time, they have everything I need (or dont need lol) etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1024869 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:17:58 +0000 MrsBrewer 1024869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Because it seriously has everything!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1024849 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:11:15 +0000 mlm2934 1024849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm completely a lover.

The one near us isn't bad at all and luckily it's in the same shopping center as Target! I can do home decor/clothes/etc. at Target and hop over to Walmart for the un-fun stuff that I want to save on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1024831 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:07:07 +0000 teamjse 1024831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't love Target, if I don't need something, I do not go. Maybe once a month or less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1024815 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:03:39 +0000 googly-eyes 1024815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It has decent quality items for good prices and is a one-stop-shop...very convenient, especially when you have a LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1024768 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:49:50 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1024768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Target has lost some shine tbh because they are not pulling the cool designers like they used to. It's no longer a place to pick up a cheapie casual work item. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1024754 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:47:15 +0000 HLK208 1024754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think I would get excited about going to target for the first time! I also don't think I liked target so much until I became a parent. Inexpensive children's clothes, diapers, a wide variety of fruit pouches, laundry detergent? It's addicting. They have better home decor than they use to and better clothing. I wouldn't say it's magical but I do like shopping there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1024748 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:45:47 +0000 mrbee 1024748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: *high five!!* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1024741 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:44:25 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1024741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: OMG best description ever. Target is google for real life.</p> <p>I'm going to use that forever now. High five! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1024731 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:42:10 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1024731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't go crazy there either... but what IS nice is that it is a one-stop-shop. You can buy all the clothes you need for the whole family, your groceries, home supplies, office stuff, music/electronics, books etc- there is so much and a lot of variety and for the most part they are decent quality.</p> <p>For clothes I get a lot of basics because they are cheap (like $5 tanks and $10-$20 cardigans), they have great clearance on kids/baby stuff (never pay more than $5 an item) and good coupons/sales for food. They have a decent organic section too.</p> <p>So if convenience is important - it is a nice place to shop. But $$ is most important to me so we shop other places for groceries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1024730 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:42:07 +0000 mediagirl 1024730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't get it because I find it overpriced. They call things clearance items when they are 15% off. Uhhh... No. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1024723 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:40:24 +0000 mrbee 1024723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: haha you put it in terms that I could relate to!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1024711 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:37:46 +0000 mrs. bird 1024711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: you got it! as i was typing it, i wasn't sure it would make sense to anyone, but i guess it does to some extent :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1024696 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:33:59 +0000 Caly 1024696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like others have said, it's a one stop shop for simple grocery items, cleaning supplies, misc household items like paper towels, toilet paper, etc. I don't shop at Wal Mart so it kinda takes its place. Plus, it's clean, the employees are friendly and I swear angels sing when I walk in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1024672 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:28:30 +0000 mrbee 1024672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: I think I finally get it now!

We just recently got them in Canada and I was disappointed. I find that it is more expensive than other stores and the selection sucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1024640 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:20:28 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1024640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. bird: you nailed it! perfect description. love that you brought in the habit feedback loop, haha, have you read "the power of habit"? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1024630 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:18:19 +0000 avivoca 1024630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's all in the display. The displays sucker me in every. single. time. Plus it's way more convenient for me than Walmart (which I hate), as it's right across the road from the grocery store, so it's like one-stop shopping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-understand-targets-magical-power#post-1024625 Fri, 16 Aug 2013 15:16:52 +0000 Mrsbells 1024625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Springtime: yes ours has a starbucks too! </p>
