Target...Must be the bullseye!

Why, oh, why is Target undeniably a magnet to go spend money?!?!  It NEVER fails that I can go in Target with one thing in mind and come out with five plus things that I say I really needed, however, it was more of a want.  There are TOO MANY incidences to count on hand how I went to “look” and came out with about the store purchased!  One thing I can say is that although I spend money that wasn’t meant to be spent, many of the items I buy, that’s not regular price, are on clearance.  I went to Target about 2 weeks ago and spent $60 dollars on clothes and shoes, but EVERY item was either 50-70% off!  A trick/tip that I learned from Pinterest(another addictive site) is that Target marks their items off daily by department.  Also, the tip is if the clearance items last price digit is an “8,” it will get marked down again.  If the items last price digit ends in a “4,” thats the lowest the item will be (disclaimer:  haven’t tested the theory fully, but seems to be true).  I wouldn’t say wait until the price ends in an “8″ or “4,” however, I would say wait until you feel you are ready to make a purchase and a thoughtful purchase at that.  Most times I purchase items that end in an “8″ because there are only one or two items of that article left.  If there are multiple items of the same thing, then I wait about a week to check and see if the price is marked down again.  If it’s not, I repeat.  If it is, I BUY!  That simple.  I’m trying to do better, but I think the bullseye subliminally hypnotizes people to come in.  Damn you Target, damn you.
