First and foremost, I'd like to ask you all to pray some more for my friend Lo. Her transplant went well and her dad is on track to good health again, but Lo has hit a road bump and is back in the hospital. I don't know details, so please just pray that she gets through the issue quickly so she can get home and get back to enjoying life with a new kidney!
On another subject, I do not like Target. At all. It seems like everyone and their baby loves the store. I can't handle it. Today I had to go to Target because I needed to buy a backup lovey for Ben. He has grown very attached to a specific blanket. Ironic because it's the only one of like fifty blankets he was given that does not have a real sentimental value. When choosing a blanket you would think it might be the one Grammy made him, or the one Grandma brought back from Italy. But I guess in a way I lucked out because if he had chosen one of those, it would be much harder to get a duplicate.
Anyway, I go to Target because I found they carry the same blanket. This is what it looks like:
So of course, even though their online website says this store has it in stock, they don't have it. Way to go Target. But, since I'm already in the store with a toddler in tow, I might as well do my grocery shopping. (When you have a child that doesn't like the car, it is best to make as few stops as possible!). Every time I somehow end up shopping at Target I leave feeling robbed. It's like someone might as well stand at the end of every aisle and take a five dollar bill from me!! Or I should just throw twenty five dollars out the window on my drive to their store.
I usually shop at Walmart. A Walmart that isn't so walmart-y. It's in south t-town/north bixby. Whatever you prefer to call it. It's really not so bad. And food is so much cheaper... The EXACT same things cost way less! Shopping at Target, my mouth just drops when I look at the prices!
For example, these fruit cups:
$1.25/each at walmart and $1.60 at Target (marked down! Regular price at W.)
These peaches:
(can't find a photo... Picture a jar of peaches...)
$2.50/each at W and $3.25 at T (another markdown!)
These pretzels:
$2.50 at W and $3.00 at T!!!
Ugh! Every time I put something in my cart I felt sick! Needless to say, my cart did not get very full. I only bought what I absolutely needed.
And these:
Ummm, do not buy these unless you are trying to put on weight. I knew they weren't good for me, but I didn't know how bad they were until I got home and had eaten like 15. (Because they are addicting!) There are 140 calories per 5 cookies!!! Are you kidding?! Insanity! These will wreck your diet. But... They are delicious!
So I don't like Target. And I still need to get back online and find another lovey for Ben. Think I'll get to that right now! Goodnight!
