17 Signs Your Love For Target Is Reaching Unhealthy Levels

For decades, Wal-Mart ruled the roost with their low prices and large selection, but Target has long since grabbed its fair share of the market. Tarzhay or Tarjay--as regulars prefer to call it--has a flock of devoted shoppers who stick their noses up at other stores and only have "eyes" for the Red Bullseye. How many of these have you caught yourself doing?

You Get Giddy Pulling Into The Parking Lot

Nothing gets your adrenaline going faster than pulling your car into the parking lot and knowing you have arrived at your favorite store in the world. You can’t help but smiling, and even giggling a little.

The Balls Out Front Bring You Great Joy

The Target Balls sitting in front of the doors revert you back to a time in your childhood when leap frog was socially acceptable.

You Walk In To Buy Toilet Paper And Wind Up Buying A TV…or two!

You can tell yourself you are just window shopping all you want, but when you arrive at the checkout counter with a TV in tow, you know you have a problem. Whoops! Forgot the toilet paper you came for!

You Can’t Seem To Leave Without Spending At Least $50

No matter how hard you try, you just can’t make Target a quick shopping trip. You go in for the essentials and leave with everything from the new Room Essentials (RE) line! You always save 5% with your RedCard though, so it’s all worth it!

You and the Cashiers Are On a First Name Basis

You obviously know your store well, and the cashiers know you. You come in so often that they know you by name. You also know when “that one worker” is scheduled, and avoid shopping at those times.

You Browse Cartwheel While Using The Bathroom

Who needs actual coupons? You know of the existence of Target’s mobile coupon app, Cartwheel, and you frequently bookmark deals: while using the can. Saving money is important to you, and you know how to get a good deal.

You Have Run Your Phone Battery Down Using Cartwheel In The Store

You have spent so much time using Cartwheel in the store that you have LITERALLY run down your cell battery and had to go recharge it in the car. You are one serious shopper!

The $1 Section Calls Out To You Like A Muse

It’s right there; you simply can’t miss it. Even if you try to steer your cart in another direction, you find yourself scanning the $1 section for something new–which there always is. You have stores of party favors in your basement from your multiple trips each month.

It’s Impossible For You To Pick A Place To Start Browsing

You can’t make a decision between the racks of chic clothes, aisles of must have home goods, and the massive music and movie collections. You wind up in all three areas at some point anyway.

You Are More Knowledgeable Than Most Employees

You find yourself answering questions posed by other shoppers because you know–and care. You want other shoppers to get the best information they can.

You Go Out Of Your Way To Find One With Cart Elevators

There is just something exhilarating about having an escalator for your cart–so you make sure to find the one in your area that has the parking garage below the store.

You Will Drive 45 Minutes To The Nearest Store Even If There Is a Wal-Mart 5 Minutes Away

You don’t care if you have to drive an extra hour, you prefer the service and selection at Target, and will drive past six Wal-Marts along the way. Your feelings of enmity towards Wal-Mart are in no way masked.

You Pretend To Be Getting Married Just To Open Up A Gift Registry

Nothing is more exciting than walking around the store dream shopping. While other espoused couples go to Macy’s, Bed Bath and Beyond, or Crate and Barrel, you would rather be no where else than Target!

You Laugh Devilishly–Out Loud–When You Realize You Are Getting A Better Price Than Wal-Mart

People claim that Wal-Mart has lower prices, but you know the truth. With Cartwheel, RedCard, and constant promotions, you can get just as good of a deal–if not better–at Target. And you aren’t afraid to let others know of your savings success!

Your Dreams Are Filled With Visions Of Target Products

Your Target dreams are likely a remnant of your constant Cartwheel browsing at home, but regardless, you can’t help but window shop even while you sleep!

You See The “Up & Up” Arrow and Know You Are Getting A Great Product For A Lot Less

While most people look down on store brands, Target has a whole slew of products that are unique to their stores, and you KNOW that they are worth it.

When You Hear “3M” Your Mind Jumps To Merona, Mossimo, and Market Pantry

Speaking of Target’s unique brands, your closets are full of Merona and Mossimo, and your pantry is packed with Market Pantry delicacies. You stick to what you know and love, and are proud to show off your chic buys to friends.
