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!

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
