I went into Target yesterday with the sole purpose of buying trash bags. I went in with blinders on, intending to head straight to the housewares section. Ten minutes later I was in the dressing room with these guys. And it was one of those odd days when everything you try on fits and flatters.
I had a lengthy inner monologue with myself, justified and bargained, but ultimately, Reasonable Liz won out. She can be a real jerk. I left these goodies behind for another day.
I should note that this is the second time in a row I've walked into Target and purchased only the one (boring) item on my list. This means I've either cured my $60-of-random-crap-per-trip habit or that I'm due for one massive Target binge fest. Scary.
Wow! Excellent accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what they put in Target air that transforms my usual tightwad self into a spendthrift, but I'm also working on the spend-less-than-50-bucks-on-Target-crap self-improvement plan.
Unfortunately, this new initiative mostly just leads me to buy 200 bucks worth of sale items from J Crew that I justify as "investment pieces". Baby steps, I suppose.
"Investment pieces" = totally legit!
DeleteMy bank account would have smacked me in the head if I went through with all my Target wants! Ahh, off to the website to sale-stalk!
