I think Target is bad for you.
I recently went to the new Target that opened close to my house. I, of course, went for a reason, to get a witch's hat for Halloween. I figured while I was there I would check out the new digs.
Actually, the devil lives in the Dollar Spot at Target. How do I know this? Because I am now compelled to purchase things I neither need, nor have ever wanted before. Case in point. While passing the Dollar Spot, I decided to peek in see what there was. There were cute little Halloween kitchen towels. One had a ghost, the other a black cat or something. First of all, I'm not the kind of person who does fun decorating. I admire those who do, but I am not one of them. I am more a practical, no-nonsense, garage sales of America kind of decorator. I put up a Christmas tree at Christmas, but that's about it. I do not decorate for Halloween.
Unfortuantely, I also can't pass up a good deal. Two towels for $1?? That's wonderful. Oh, look at the little t-shirts for babies! My great nephew desperately needs one!! Look!! Headbands for 50¢!! They're so cute! (Even though I wear glasses and wearing a headband at the same time breaks the laws of ears.)
Basically, what I'm saying is I came home with a bag of crap because it was a good deal!!! (Is it still a good deal if you never needed or wanted the item in the first place? I think not.) The devil lives there. He is making you buy a bunch of crap that will soon disappear, never to be seen again. It will never be seen and you will never notice it is gone because YOU NEVER WANTED OR NEEDED IT TO BEGIN WITH!!!
My nephew now has a new seasonal t-shirt he may or may not have ever been able to wear. My dog has a new scarf. My kitchen has new towels. My hair has a new headband and my checking account has a negative balance.
Yes, the devil definitely lives in the Dollar Spot. I wonder what they'll have for Thanksgiving?

I know what you mean about the dollar spot! I bought the kind of spatula for cake batter. (only 1$) I am so glad I saw it. I was down to four spatulas!
I just have to add one more think I saw at Target. Little elf hats for cats!! God help anyone who tries to make a cat wear a lttle elf hat! My cats would just instantly maim antone trying to tie an elf hat on them!!
By the way, apparently my daughter is the author of the "laws of ears" so I need to give credit where credit is due. Thanks girlfriend!!!
Cat needs an elf hat. I'm sure all the devil horns for cats are sold out.
