Once in a while I shop there, like 2x or 3x a year. About once a year I'll be hungry & be tempted by the cheap eats. You can't beat a hot dog for a dollar. A coke for $1.25 with a free refill. Or a crappy popcorn for $1. Yesterday I got a popcorn & coke. And 2 sets of sweat tops/pants for $25.

Crappy popcorn, lol.


I go to Target once a week or once every week and a half or so.

I see all types -
A woman over 40 by herself
Parent with kiddos
Couples over 65
A grown adult with their 65+ parent
Etc.

I was just curious if people made a plan to shop and eat or get tempted like you do or what.

My excuse for not shopping there is that it isn't in my neighborhood. But Walmart is right across the street & I go there about 2x a month. I'd go more often if it were closer.

WM has more of what I want/need. I go to Target when my daughter wants something there. The smell of the popcorn is definitely alluring, although it never seems to be fresh. Sometimes a well cooked hot dog is tempting too. If I'm starving, which isn't unusual.

So yeah, it's not a plan, for sure. I don't see many partaking there either. I must look quite the pig, shoving popcorn in my mouth as I shop. Good thing I don't care - ha!

The deal on the sweats was pretty sweet yesterday. I was interested in some since it's going to get bitter cold in our house with winter. My daughter spied them on sale & talked me into them. I wasn't planning on buying anything.

Somehow, we spend 2 hours shopping no matter where we go & no matter if I don't even buy anything. I don't mind just looking around.

Somehow, when I first clicked on your thread, I was thinking it would be about a target shooting place with a cafe: *L*

I tend to get popcorn. I love it. The one close to me has AWESOME popcorn, better than the movie theaters.

I don't go to Target to specifically get their popcorn but if I'm in there and I'm hungry...I get popcorn. It's cheap and tasty.

The other Target about 15-20 miles away has a Pizza Hut and a Starbucks.

Its the subliminal messages in whatever music they play, makes you hungry.
I'm joking, but you never can tell.
