Department: Beauty Recently I was at Target and took a walk down the beauty aisle that has all of the special and more high end products. I came upon some bath foam that I am very excited to try. I love the smell of Bergamot and soaking in it for a half hour or so would be very delightful.I hope I get the chance soon!I love the look of the packaging and the bottle. It is plastic too which is

Department:Food I love that if you need to you can get several staple items at Target. At least at our local store. They have a dairy aisle, a bread aisle, cereal, chips, you know the drill.Yesterday I put some Colby Jack cheese in my husbands sandwich that I recently purchased from said cheese aisle. My favorite aisle in the whole store. God I love cheese. Anyway, I was fully expecting him to

Department: BabySo packaging is important and all, trust me- I brand companies for a living. The new and improved packaging on the Target diapers is great, and modern however I don't like the following: 1. the diapers aren't white anymore, they are blue and green dots which shows through my daughters summer clothing2. when my daughter pees the cotton immediately breaks up and she feels wet and

While I am saddened by the news that Rachel Ashwell declared bankruptcy and Shabby Chic will fade away, Simply Shabby Chic will still be available at Target. For the time being.

Department: Women's It is so great when you find a clothing label that you know will give you a great fit, a boost in confidence, and all at a great price. Heck, if you can grab it and go because the sizing is consistent, that is even better because that is what Target is all about. Grab and go. At least for me since I am always in there with my kids.Just recently I got an email from a very

So I have to say that while it is nice that Target is bringing back the Red Hot Shop that I so happily sung the praises of YEARS ago when I started this blog (I registered the domain FOUR years ago last week to be exact)- I am pretty super pissed that they are doing it in cahoots with another blog and not me. I could bring you daily or weekly exciting products that you should buy from the Red Hot

Department: Maternity Lately I have been seeing a lot of baby bumps. I thought I would look online and see what cute things Target has for moms-to-be these days. Unfortunately online isn't as great as what is in store so next time I am there I will go and snap some shots of the new collections.For now, this is my fave maternity top. I think it would look great on every baby bump and the color is

Department: The Look for LessYou may wonder where I got my knack for savvy shopping. It is all because of my mother. She and I have been shopping together for a LONG time. The other day she came over to watch my youngest for the morning and I complimented her on her new white enameled chain link (or braided as they are calling it from Merona's collection) bracelet. She laughed and said "Well I

Department: Home I couldn't WAIT for winter to be over here in upstate NY so that I could get all of our boots and crap out of our laundry room (where we usually put our shoes) and store them until next fall. My goal was to clean it up and find a shoe rack to keep the mess off of the floor. I also wanted something that the 2 little girls could use and get their shoes themselves when it's time to

Well there was a well merchandised end-cap of this yummy snack treat that I spotted during my last trip and $3 didn't seem like too much to try it out (trying it is my job anyway right?) so I did.I chose the Honey/MultiGrain one because I don't dig Cranberry which was the other flavor option.

Department:Kids Recently I was interviewed by a major magazine about my blog. They asked me many questions about the blog and my love for Target. One of them was if I had any certain process or ritual when enjoying my "Red Cart Romance" (going to Target)?Immediately I said "I make sure if the kids are with me that we stop at the $1 spot". Now known as "See Spot Save". Sometimes items here are

I was excited and relieved when I opened up the May issue of Cookie Magazine and saw this slouchy hobo from Target (only $23) as a seasonal suggestion for busy however stylish moms. Like me.

Department: Stuff I HeartTimes are tough for everybody and even though Target has low prices, when I go there these days I try my hardest to stick to the essentials. Diapers, mascara with free gift of eye shadow, you know- the basics. In all seriousness though, money is super tight. I have been being good though and still enjoy dawdling around my big red box looking at lovely things to report

I can't even walk to the end of the driveway to get the mail without sunglasses. Even if it's at sundown. I need them, I wear them, and if I didn't need prescription ones I would be in really big trouble because I would own as many pairs of sunnies as I do shoes.Luckily for me,

I don't love the shipping wait so I am glad that I don't need one of these, but I love it so much I had to tell you all.How lovely would it be in an apartment to break up the space?

I want to let people know that the trunk is great.

Department: JewelryMy most recent trip to Target (yesterday when I only spent $95) I took some photos with my phone's camera of necklaces that I really like. This one is super cool and would go with so many outfits. However it is $50. That is so not fair. Maybe fair to the designer, so I don't mean that, but Target, seriously, give us a break in this weak economy! We still need to be fashionable!

Department: General ShoppingSo yesterday I made it to my local Target for a little Red Cart Romance without children. This can be dangerous since that leaves a lot more room in the cart for purchases. I tried to stick to my list of diapers, birthday card, paper towels and Lean Cuisines. I somehow still managed to spend $165 which made me want to vomit.Along the way I took photos of things I

Department: PetsFor years I have been saying that I need to brush my cat. I have two cats and one in particular is especially furry. He is like a big white puff. I was thinking about getting a Furminator from the pet store but heard they were expensive. Like $50. Sorry, I mean I will pay $50 for a hair cut but I just can't pay $50 for a cat brush. I know, I am a bad mom once again.So yesterday

Department: Fashion PoliceAnd I thought the leggings were bad! The awful ankle-zipper and acid washed jeans you guys found were truly frightening. But what takes the cake? Did you see your Sunday Target circular yet today? Page 22?Does this ring a bell?Yes, that's an actual image from this week's Target ad. Tights and LEG WARMERS and STIRRUP TIGHTS!!! On sale! Because who would pay full price

Department: Fashion Police... this is ridiculous. What in the frickety frack is with all the leggings at Target? I just did a search on Target.com to find a couple pairs of particular heinous ones I've seen in store recently, and I came up with 175 --yes, one hundred and seventy freaking five -- results!Let's start with these:Black. Lame. Leggings. There should be an accent there, btw... although

Department: HalloweenYes Un-festiveness is a word. I just made it up.I am not festive, everyone knows this. I am also the worst mom ever because my 14 month old still doesn't have a Halloween costume.Has anyone found anything cute at Target? Please leave comments. Target employees please weigh in and tell me where in the store to look. She is 14 months but probably needs a 18-24 month costume. We

Department: Dollar SpotI love it when Target gets hip to popular tv shows and movies in the $1 (or more) spot. Way back a couple of years ago I scored many a Napoleon Dynamite magnet and notepad.Currently they have funny things from NBC's The Office like this Employee of the Year Mug and The Dunder Mifflin notepad. I didn't scoop these up since I don't watch The Office (I know GASP!) but I took

Department: Go International Designers + Target's bad product presentation (again)Sorry, I am delinquent on the posts but this has a lot to do with the fact that I moved this summer and my old house was within 3 miles of a Target. The town that we live in now doesn't have a Target (GASP) and so I have to hop on the highway and go 3 exits. Then I have to sit in the cluster%*&# that is the town

Department: HomeI am having a Targasm (again). Maybe I should submit that word to the Urban Dictionary? Definition: tiny orgasm you experience when something at Target hits you in your special place. Oh wait, frick- someone already did that. Probably after I first used the word on the blog in 2005 but hey- it's all good.This is my new crush. I must run out to all Target stores (because I feel

Department: HalloweenSome of you may be wondering who the little turdy looking mascot is in Target's Halloween displays this year. I only say that as I overheard a child say, as his mom wheeled him past the Halloween section, Look, Mommy - it's a Poop Monster!Well, little Domo is a celebrity in his native Japan, and has a pretty devoted following in the U.S. as well. Using him as a mascot shows

Department: bedroomI know it's not a new product but I finally ordered it when we moved into our new house and our four year old got a queen sized bed (there is a reason for this). What you ask?

Department: Guinea pigI was shopping today and noticed that the Target-brand equivalent to my baby's $24 container of formula cost just shy of $11. Half price? Are they kidding? Why have I not tried this before? Probably because I'm a little wary of "switching up" formula on my kid at this stage of the game. But my husband got laid off three weeks ago and he got a severance package, but we're

Department: Why shop anywhere else? I just got this purse at Target for a mere $24.99. It is really well made and as you can see has a ton of character. The color is called Paprika, which I love, and it's just the kind of not-your-average-run-of-the-mill kind of purse I like to carry. Plus it's big enough to let me carry around stuff for my husband and both of my kids without looking like I'm

Department: One in every colorWorking from home, my wardrobe leans toward the very, very casual. But I've had a hard time finding comfortable, well-fitting, muffin-top hiding t-shirts. I have several OK ones from Target, but I always have to buy them a size or two bigger than I normally wear or resort to pricier, supposedly higher-quality tees from places like J. Jill.

Department: The best things about Target you didn't knowIn the past 2 weeks there have been 2 crucial occasions at Target where I thought surely I was going to be in trouble. And I don't mean in the usual way where I am in trouble because I walked in with the intention of spending a few bucks on diapers and walked out with $200 worth of stuff that I probably could live without. Or could I?

Department: Whim by Cynthia RowleyHave you seen all the adorable products in the Whim by Cynthia Rowley line? In my Target of choice, there is an entire section -- at least two aisles -- next to the patio items full of fun little summer bits and pieces that are surprisingly affordable considering they have a designer like Rowley attached to them.The stores have boatloads more stuff -- for kids,

Department: DuhSo I am going to start a little thread/blog/whatever here.In my opinion there are things that Target should offer in the way of products that they do not. I see products all of the time in my real job and with Target being the hip, cool, trendy spot mixed with your place to find everyday items that your family actually needs, I wonder why they don't carry things like the following

Department: We all know about the ever-expanding beer/wine/liquor section at Target (all Targets? not sure...). But did you know that if you purchase a mere four -- yes four -- bottles of wine, you get a 10% discount? Many grocery and liquor stores give you discounts, but you generally have to buy anywhere from six bottles to an entire case. Leave it to Target to lead the way...Look for the red

Department: I didn't think I was going to buy that....I knew deep down inside the moment that I saw them that someday they would be mine. I didn't need another pair of shoes- who does? But I just knew. I never thought about them, I simply passed them by on the shelf. But one day last week they were on clearance. They had my size and my size only and it was destiny.Do you have them?

Check out the preview of the new GO International collection, as featured Jezebel.In the immortal words of Paris Hilton, That's hott! Except for that toga looking dress... and some of the other stuff is a little shiny for my taste. Actually, I probably wouldn't wear any of it, except maybe that navy and fuschia shift, but I can appreciate the hotness for people who are into that kind of thing.

Department: Reuse The latest reusable shopping bag to hit Target is made from recycled plastic shopping bagsVery cool design. At $5.99, they are a little more expensive than the red tote bags sold (it appears) in most stores across the country, but hey - they may be a nice memento to show your grandkids someday when plastic bags no longer exist!~jen~

Department: Fashion Is My Life (to quote my 3 and a 1/2 year old)I found this while I was supposed to be just buying diapers. Doesn't it always happen that way? You go in for one thing and you come out with a receipt for $112.43!!!!!

Department: What the?Was anyone else missing the Target ad out of their Sunday paper this morning? I don't know if it was a nationwide thing, but here in Chicagoland, the only way to access the weekly ad flier is to visit Target.com. That just doesn't seem right?

Department: BeautyWal-mart has carried the Rimmel line for years. I was quite shocked, actually, when the store started carrying such a sophisticated product line. I'm a big fan of the nail polish.Not as shocked, but happy to see Target expanding its love of the UK after the Soap & Glory line, our fave store has now started carrying a plethora of beauty products distributed by the UK-based health

Department: ClothingI just knew it. I had a craving for navy that started early last fall and it has now become apparent that I am a fashion psychic. Navy is IT.

Department: TravelMy daughter and I stumbled upon these super cute train cases and other travel gear today on an end cap. They were ON SALE and too sweet to not grab. We had to decide between Chococat and Deery Lou but Deery Lou won out in the end. Knowing her it's probably the rainbow. We are going through a princess/unicorn/rainbow phase right now. Also she thinks it's Rudolph. Who am I to

Department: GiftsMy favorite hostess gift to give this season (as evidenced by giving this at three separate occasions) is a bread basket (~$10 on sale) lined with a dishtowel (3 pack ~$5) and paper shred containing the Archer Farms beer bread mix and a can of beer. All components except beer from Target.It has been very well received!~jen~

Department: PhotoTarget isn't the only store that provides an online photo upload and print service. But, since we're all at the store 3-4 times a week anyway, it seems like a convenient option.Our printer prints good photos, but they still don't look like ones printed at a store. Also, it would take a lot of ink to print photos for all our Christmas cards.So - have you used this service? What do

Department: Crazy Shopping DaysAs much as I love Tar-jay, I am staying far, far away today. I didn't even look at the sale flyer from yesterday's paper because I didn't want to be tempted. Truth be told, I do most of my holiday shopping online. I do need to go to Target, but not for Christmas presents, for baby stuff. And since my maternity leave officially started last Monday, I think I'll take

Department: Guest ServicesI have always had good experiences with Target Guest Services, but this past week I got serviced above and beyond the typical Guest experience and I just have to share.We were in need of a new entertainment console here in the Land of the Charming & Delightful, so I immediately went to my local Target to check out the selection. I quickly found exactly what we needed.Now

Department: ShoesOn a continous hunt for a full collection of flats (I don't think I will ever wear anything else so they better stay in style) I have recently purchased these little baddies and they are nothing but goodie!

Not only did I not find what I was looking for this morning when I went to Target after dropping my son off at preschool, I got a traffic ticket on the way home for rolling through a stop sign. Which I totally didn't do!!!The cop was such a jerk, too. And I got absolutely no sympathy for the fact that I was pregnant. Way to make the pregnant lady cry, copper!!!So, yeah, I blame you Target for

Department: Sinners and SaintsThou shalt not covet. I know it's a sin, but I have been doing a whole heck of a lot of coveting during my recent trips to Target. So many things that I want, but cannot have due to my current, er, condition, being 7 1/2 months pregnant and all.Did you guys see the Peanuts Halloween t-shirt in this weekend's ad? It's even cuter in person! And I was thinking, hoping,

Department: Kids StuffI have an aversion to paying much money for my kid's clothes. He's a toddler. He's a he. He doesn't care how much something cost or what the brand name is. Plus, he's going to ruin it anyway by spilling something or falling or whatever boys do that causes them to not be able to keep a single piece of clothing clean. As a result, much of his wardrobe bears the Circo and

Department: See.Spot.SaveSorry for the awful pic, but had to share these scrapbooking supplies I picked up from the See.Spot.Save (aka The Dollar Spot) sectionLOVE the colors and patterns so much!

Department: BeautyEarlier this year, UK pharmaceutical company Boots (which is sort of like Walgreens here) began offering its No. 7 line, including Protect & Perfect Antiaging Serum in its UK stores. The BBC featured this product on a Horizon documentary and the product started flying off the shelves when the documentary showed that this product actually works! Now this product is now

Department: AdvertisingHave you guys been receiving the fabuless mailers?I assume the ads are some type of direct marketing promo for frequent shoppers. I do not have a Target credit card, and though I do look at Target online a lot, I have never bought anything from the website. I do use my debit card when I go to Target (um - several times a week), so my purchases and shopping frequency are

Department: BeautyBuying something imported always boosts the coolness quotient. It could be the U.K. equivalent of Jean Nate, but slap a British flag on it, and I'm sold.Fortunately, the line of Soap & Glory products (only in stores?) are worth the hype. I purchased the Calm One Calm All stress-battling bubble bath, and, without a moment's hesitation, the Sexy Mother Pucker lip plumper + gloss.

Department: Women's ClothingMy new Fall staple ~ the Merona shirt dress. If I find something I like, and fits well, I have a tendency to buy en masse. So far I have incorporated the brown pin dotand the blue/green stripeinto my wardrobe. The sateen feels very nice, and has a nice drape. These are not skimpy shirt dresses that need to be worn over pants - they look great on their own (and this

Department: LegalI SO knew that this would happen someday. The studio behind Dirty Dancing (you may have heard of this movie) is all in a tizzy because a few retailers have been using the famous "Nobody Puts Baby In A Corner" line on retail merchandise such as t-shirts etc.I wonder if Target is in trouble over this? I bought a t-shirt late this past spring from the women's section at Target that

Department: Gift cardsHave you guys noticed how many cute gift card options Target has these days? I visited my local store yesterday to buy, among other things (many, many other things -- ugh!), a new baby gift.

Department: DecorIs the wallpaper craze still alive? It's hard to keep up with such things. If designers had their way, we'd be changing our home decor as often as we change our panties. Well, I personally still think the modern, bold graphic wallpaper is pretty hip. Then, just the other night my hubby thought he was really on to something when he wondered aloud if wallpaper was ever going to
