Target will Bankrupt Me!

I do not know what it is about Target, but I cannot leave that place without spending $100. Is it the happy spotted dog mascot? The fact that it has a Starbucks in it and that also draws out my wallet so easily? Or is it the endless aisles of stuff that I apparently must "need".

Today we headed to Target to get diapers. Really that was all I needed, but I must have thought in my mind that there were some other items I might "need" to get because this is what we left with:

- Diapers
- Two pair of PJs for Ky
- Socks for Ky--wrong size (great! that trip to return will likely result in more purchases)
- Calendar
- Writing practice activity for Mckinley
- Dry erase markers
- Two vinyl bibs
- Hair stuff
- Leggings for Mckinley
- Jacket for Mckinley
- And...one stop at Starbucks for some banana bread!

Surprising, and the reason I LOVE Target, is that this all came in at just over $100! Unfortunately frequent trips of this variety are pretty rough on the checkbook! :)


 PS...Kevin, it is for the kids so it is ok right?

How can your resist a store whose mascot is this little guy? Amazing marketing Target!
