I have a love/hate relationship with target. I love target and their cleanliness, great products, the fact that I live less than 10 minutes from a Target Superstore and of course their fabulous toddler and baby clothes. Gosh they seem to be getting cuter and cuter every year! But I hate how much money I spend there!! Since it is the closest grocery store to my house I shop there way too much, grab my groceries and then, oh look at these boots for Jett, or dress for Lily, hair bows, socks, oh my! I cant get out of there without spending way too much money! One helpful thing I have learned through my coupon quest is that you can go to the gift registry computers at the store and print out any coupons that target is offering.
Since I do so much shopping there, my pantry is overflowing with those PLASTIC target bags. So in my pursuit to not be so wasteful, and to reduce, reuse, recycle (love it) I decided to purchase a few of the reusable shopper bags from Target. They are only $.99 and if you buy one and bring it back to use you get $.05 off of each additional bag that you buy. I am sure Wal-mart has the same bags and you can use these shopper bags anywhere. They fold up really small to fit in your car when you need them. They also hold a ton of groceries, I got all my groceries in 3 bags which normally I would have used double or triple the plastic bags.
Even though you are taking all my money Target, I still love you.

Hey girl, ♥ that you're doing a blog! It will help to keep you grounded, and it's so nice to look back on. Especially when you don't get to scrapbook or keep track of all those small things, like me.
I ♥ Target too. You're so lucky to have a Super Target so close!! I want one of those SO badly.
I would do this: take into account how much you're actually spending there on groceries too. When you realize that it's taking away from what you'd be spending at a different store, it won't make the total seem AS bad. :)
Hey Rebecca!!! I'm in love with Target as well. Thanks for the coupon tips. I have never heard of extreme coupon clipping. I'm going to try it! :)
