A nice little Saturday evening at Target

I'm going to preface this post by saying that I really am cool and fun.  I generally go out on weekends.  However, I did just spend this Saturday night at Target, and even worse, I'm now blogging about it.  In my defense, I'm home for Father's Day and there really is very little to do here.  Plus, I adore trips to Target, and I don't have a car in the city, or a close Target, so having a car and Target is a treat.  I thought I should share the love though and share all the fabulous things I found tonight.

Sandals in about 15 different summery colors and patterns that are exact look-alikes of Havainas.  And they're only $2.99.

Adorable summer pajama sets with lots of hearts and bows.

Cheap DVDs.  My college roommate and I discovered the art of the cheap Target DVD search in college.  Target regularly has a selection of movies, albeit older ones, for $5.  Generally, the rule for the $5 category is if you haven't seen the movie and want to, or think you would maybe watch it once, buy it.  The second category is the $7.99 DVD.  This calls for slightly more of an investment in the movie.  Fantastic movies often sold for $7.99: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Mean Girls, Sideways, The Holiday, ect.  The final category is the $9.99 DVD.  These aren't meant to buy on a whim, but if you see a favorite movie, it's definitely a steal.  I got the BEST steal tonight- He's Just Not That Into You.

Target/Market Pantry cereal.  I used to buy the Cinnamon Toast Crunch knockoff on a weekly basis, which my college roommate and I named Cinnamon Toast Crack. 

A fantastic selection of Father's Day cards/cards in general.  Target is my secret go-to place for cards.  I have never been one to give the Hallmark-staple, beautiful, sappy card; I have always been the one to entertain my family with witty, funny cards, or send my friends sweet little finds from Target.

On another note, my mom asked me to pick up some photos for her that she had sent in online.  As I was waiting in the store for the photos, I realized how much I miss the old-fashioned take-a-picture-and-not-see-it-right-away-wait-a-few-days-for-the-film-to-develop-photos.  It's sort of like getting card or letter in the mail- there is something wonderful about anticipating the arrival and then opening up a full envelop.

Ah, a perfect Target trip.
