target stroll.

target is my fifty dollar store. translation: i can't leave target without spending less than fifty dollars. i've tried to do it and i just can't. some people say that walmart is their fifty dollar store, but i just can't get myself to go to wally world. there are two main reasons: 1) i get a headache every time i go. it could be the lighting. 2) this. props to you if you're a hearty walmart shopper, but i'm not a masochist and won't put myself through that pain. target is also great because it's a fast-acting laxative. everytime i walk through those bright red doors, i need to sprint to the bathroom within the first five minutes of shopping. am i the only one?

on a recent venture to target, i took some time to stroll the aisles to see what's cheap.

i luh-ove these blue glass lamps. they'd look awfully purdy sitting on my bedside tables.

these geometric frames caught my eye a while back when they were full price. now that they have that lovely red clearance sticker on them, they're even more appealing. my favorite is the green greek key.

did your new year's resolution involve becoming more organized? this bamboo utensil organizer could help you keep that resolution. it's really two trays and is only around twelve bucks (50% off). these trays can help you organize a whole lot more than just your knives and forks. underwear drawer, home office, bathroom supplies, makeup, jewelry, etc.

i really like giada de laurentiis' line of ceramic kitchenware that she's released exclusively for target. i also like the temporary price cut featured above. however, i do not like giada de laurentiis. i know, i know. i shouldn't say i don't like someone if i don't even know them. but anybody who pronounces 'spuh-get-tee' like 'spuh-GEE-tee' rubs me the wrong way. i'm a midwestern girl who likes 'chicago' to sound like 'chicaaaago' and 'minnesota' to sound like 'minnesOHta.' when in rome. plus she has a giant head and tiny waist. never trust a skinny cook.

so let's recap. walmart=bad. target=good. giada kitchenware=good. giada=bad. target=laxative.

do you have a designated poo store, or is it just me?
