| - I'm a Target gal. Yes, that's right. I covet Target with as much love as my cold little heart can handle. I make excuses just to go visit it, and when I go I'm giddy and flush with excitement. It's my petite mort, you could say, in a big box o' commerce.
Like so many other Target-addicts, we're sucked in by the store's mindless rows of "stuff," and spit out with an entire cart of things we never really needed but were manically drawn to. I don't think I've ever left Target without at least one item I never intended to purchase. Their marketing people are geniuses and, I suspect, a little evil.
Now this particular Target is much more than your typical red bulls-eye store. It's SUPER. That is, it also carries food -- and I don't mean snacks and a few essentials. I'm talking about a whole grocery store inside. Okay, like Super Walmart, but better, right? Except, the price. The price of Super Target food is kind of.... high. Okay, so I am use to Fry's prices, but I figured Target would compete and promote "Target Buys" or "Triple-Coupon Days" or something like that. Nope. They do have their generic brands at lower prices, but they don't have any substantial sales on any of their meats, produce or general food items.
It was a real disappointment... and kind of shook me back to reality. No fun, when all you want to do is have a little fun at Target. Oh well, I'll still be it's gal. I won't let a few hang-ups keep me from my true love.
