31 Thoughts Every Girl Has While Shopping at Target in the Fall

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Chapman chapter.

1. I don’t need a cart – I’m here for just a few things. Ten minutes, tops.

2. I can’t believe all of this is only a dollar!

3. Halloween dish towels for $3? Getting them. Maybe I’ll actually do the dishes.

4. Swimsuit sale!

5. *Puts bikini top in basket that’s a size too big because there are none left in your size, and because maybe this is the year that your boobs might actually grow*

6. Just a quick look through the clearance rack.

7. Finally, it’s boots season!

8. *Looks around the shoe department before having a mini runway show down the boot aisle*

9. $34.99 for a pair of boots?! It’d be criminal if I didn’t.

10. Real adults wear matching pajama sets… maybe I should get one, too.

11. But these onesies though…

12. Wow, it’s been so long since I’ve worn an actual bra, I forgot what real bras look like.

13. That decorative pillow has pumpkins on it. I love pumpkins!

14. Ooh $29.99… Mental note: come back when Target puts fall items on sale.

15. But, how about these mugs?! $6.99 each? They even have one with a “C” for my name. Done deal.

16. “C” for me, “G” for Gabby, “G” for other Gabby, and “S” for Sheyna. All the roomies, it was meant to be.

17. What if I made some hard apple cider? That’d get everyone in the holiday spirit!

18. Eh, Albertsons is less expensive for alcohol. I’ll stop there on the way home.

19. I should have gotten a cart. I’m losing circulation in my basket arm.

20. Uh oh, the makeup department. Looks like I’ll be having Ramen Noodles and frozen peas for dinner this week.

21. *Restocks on all the basics*

22. I need to put something back…

23. *Puts “C” mug back on the shelf next to the makeup remover*

24. Next stop, check out.

25. Mmm, Target candles are seriously underrated.

26. Okay, I’m cutting myself off.

27. *Uses self-checkout because being responsible for the barcode’s beep creates an inner-happiness that you can’t find anywhere else*

28. There’s no way I just spent $100…

29. I just spent $100…

30. That popcorn smell gets me every time.

31. You’re kidding. I forgot toilet paper, again.
