There are always two camps on certain subjects. Pepsi or Coke, White Chocolate or Dark Chocolate, Salty or Sweet, Vegetarian or Meat Eater. Walmart or Target. I am a Target girl. I am unable to walk into a store without leaving with a minimum of $100 dollars worth of stuff. Toothpaste, cards, a cute shirt, or a package of socks. I’m not interested in grocery shopping there (am purist) I like to get my food from the grocery store or from the farmer’s market. The marketing captures my imagination and I always find myself sucked in…I love Target.
I love the clothing collaborations with Missoni, Philip Lim, and Prabal Garung. I always moved too slowly to get anything.

Method cleaning products and Thank You cards. Target is my go to place for all of the items that I find myself needing and wanting.
I’m not shopping for clothes right now because I’m doing a No Shopping Challenge for a year. I do love the commercial below because I’m in the process of redecorating my home and all of the home decorations at Target call to me. I’m getting some pillows, a lovely faux fur throw, a small lamp, and a couple of other pieces.
I love the marketing and yes, I’ve been sucked in. But, we have to shop somewhere. At least I like the store that I patronize.
As you shift into Christmas shopping gear, embrace Target. Don’t be a fool, stay in budget. I won’t be shopping too much this season but you can bet that I might stop by Target to check things out 🙂
Are you a Target person or Walmart? Why?

I love love love Target and cannot walk into that store safely. No matter how hard I try, I get sucked into a dept that I didn’t need to go in. Like clothing and sporting goods. I just try to avoid it at all costs. Wal-mart I just avoid because the nearest one to me is like the 7th circle of hell. I hate that store.

Target is my dynamite. I won a Target gift card from Michelle at Making Sense of Cents-best prize EVER!!! I may have gone a little over the amount that I won. But, I was able to purchase some nice home decor stuff. I’ve decided to redo my bathroom (it looks crazy!) and add some lovely homey touches to other parts of the home. I don’t shop at Walmart because I went to 40+ during the year I traveled with Up With People. For some very strange reason the host families were always super excited to take us to Walmart. Also, I have no idea where Walmart is in Denver. Really. I don’t think there is one in the the City of Denver. There are several in outlying suburbs.
