35 Things On Every Girl’s Mind While Shopping At Target

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

Target is my happy place. Just hearing the phrase, “Let’s go to Target!” can solve any problem I have. Someone could hit me with their car and could repay me by taking me on a shopping spree at Target and all would be forgiven—that’s how much I love this store. Here’s what goes through every girl’s mind while she’s shopping in this magical place.

1.       I just need one thing.

2.       I’ll only be a few minutes.

3.       Oh great! The dollar section.

4.       I’m saving so much money today.

5.       I don’t even know what this is, but it’s totally adorable. I need it.

6.       I have to stop in the clothing section.

7.       Omg, this top is soooo cute. And it’s on sale!

8.       That one says “Namast’ay In Bed.” I need it.

9.       Maybe I’ll grab a few more then head to the fitting room.

10.   WAIT! They have Christmas onesies. I need one.

11.   Are the bathing suits out? Maybe I can grab a few to prepare for summer.

12.   Maybe that’ll motivate me to work out.

13.   Great, the only sizes are XS and XXL.

14.    Wait, I need to check the shoe section. I need boots to go with this shirt.

15.   Cute black combat boots for $20? Sold.

16.   I should get a pair of heels for the bar this weekend.

17.   I should really check the men’s graphic tees section – I could always use another band t-shirt.

18.   Rolling Stones shirt? Need that.

19.   Why do men’s sweatpants always look so much more comfortable than women’s sweatpants?

20.   Home décor. Need some new wall art.

21.   Maybe a new blanket?

22.   Man, my arms are killing me.

23.   Time for the fitting room!

24.   6 items or less? Okay, I’ll just leave the rest hanging on this cart over here.

25.   *looking in the mirror* OMG, I actually look like that?

26.   I’m going to the gym after this.

27.   I hope that lady doesn’t give up my items.

28.   My new combat boots will look soooo cute with this top.

29.   Have I really been here for an hour already?

30.   I better go pay for these now.

31.   OMG, are these lines for real?

32.   Why is finding the shortest line like The Hunger Games?

33.   I should get a pack of gum while I’m waiting.

34.   Maybe this magazine too.

35.   Oh shit, how did I just spend $100?
