Target Tuesday: What I Don't Really Buy From Target

 Alright so... here's some stuff I don't really buy from target! I'll give you reasons and... yeah! 


1) Brand New Movies- Brand new movies I can usually pass on buying them at Target. I prefer to wait until the movies are on sale- sometimes even if I haven't seen a movie and I see it on sale- I'll pick it up at Target because there's usually a good deal on it. If it's a movie that I really liked and I want right then, if I'm feeling spontaneous and just want to buy something, if it's something I've been waiting for, or if it's something from Disney or Marvel... I will usually get it right away on the spot. Usually after a while you can get something for around $15 or less. On Black Friday they usually have a lot of really great sales so if I see a movie I like right now- I feel like "eh I can wait till Black Friday to get it" because... usually I don't watch the movies right away anyway and if it goes on sale before I watch it I feel really silly. 

That being said- that's a bit of a gamble sometimes because sometimes it can be hard to find again- and sometimes it sells out by the time I get to Target on Black Friday (I also work retail) so... yeah. Plus this year I'm not sure if they'll even have black friday or not... so who really knows! 

Also Disney, Star Wars and Marvel movies usually don't go on that good of a sale- usually you would just save $5 or so... so if you see that and you want it or your kid wants it or something... you probably won't miss out on a great sale for it. 


2) Makeup- So I do buy a lot of makeup from Target... but it isn't my favorite place to buy makeup from. I feel like at my store it's picked over a lot of times, plus the prices are pretty good at Target- but they aren't always the best prices. There's another drugstore right by my Target that usually has better deals on makeup and beauty products and I kind of like buying from that drugstore more because it's smaller than target so I want to keep it open... plus I feel like they've taken better safety measures during the pandemic than Target has... not that I feel unsafe at Target- but I feel a little safer at the other store. Anyway- makeup isn't something I usually go into Target to look at anymore- unless I can only get the brand from Target. 

3) Furniture- So I'm not sure I've actually ever gotten furniture from Target. I thought my parents got my old furniture from Target- but apparently they did not. I just don't really think it's the best quality and it's not usually the best price you're getting for it. Even the Utility Carts they have are actually kind of expensive. I got 2 from Costco that I like better. So... just keep that in mind. 


That's everything I can think of right now-let me know what you guys don't really buy from Target! 

Bye!

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
