Target

Actually looked up the definition of mecca on www.merriam-webster.com, b/c obviously, this is a serious, research-supported, blog:

“a place regarded as a center for a specified group, activity, or interest mecca for shoppers>”

Lovely, Mirriam-Webster, but I think if you would have just put the word “Target” behind the word “mecca”, everyone would have understood.  What is the deal with this retail store?!?  Is there any more perfect place on this earth?  I have seriously considered that if I would ever need to get married in a retail store, it would obviously be Target (this is a shout out to the precious wedding scene in Where the Heart Is, my favorite movie on this earth).  You all know the drill–you walk in needing a pack of paper towels, and $100 dollars later, you are jamming stuff in the back of your minivan.

Their online stuff is amazing too–they just tacked on free shipping (no minimum!) in addition to the automatic 5% off with your Red Card.  So now we’re back to my obsession with getting things sent to my house for free.  Ask me if, with my two children who can’t walk (and let’s be honest, even if they could…), if I’d rather go online and pick out my daughter’s $4 Christmas bib and have it sent to my home or if I’d like to load everyone up and fight through the holiday shopping madness…hmmm….now that’s a toughie…

But if you have to trek out, this place to be. Bottom line, you walk in and are greeted with an amazing $1 section of crappy stuff you don’t ever really need and then progress onto really cool clothes at reasonable prices, not to mention the miles of clearance racks.  Throw in the pharmacy, grocery section and all the home and office needs you could ever need, and you have yourself a deal.  I am so, so there and honestly, never really plan to leave…
