If you are anything like me, or just a girl, you know that Target is life. I can be having the worst day, but the second I walk up to the pearly red doors of Target, something changes. I become instantly happy. Now, if you don’t have any idea what I’m talking about, then you clearly have not been to a Target recently, or you are just not human. I’m also pretty convinced that they put something addictive in the air, but that’s just a theory. Anyways, if you need convincing why Target is the happiest place on Earth, keep reading!

The Dollar Spot

I’m sure most of you ladies (and my fiance) know exactly what I’m talking about. This is probably the best part of Target. At the entrance of most Targets, there are a few rows, or a dedicated section, that is known as The Dollar Spot. Everything in this section is $1-$3. You can find anything from desk essentials and children’s toys to holiday decor. This section has a little bit of everything! I am almost positive that I have never left Target without something from this section. Do yourselves a favor and go check this section out the next time you’re there!

Starbucks

I’m cautious with this one when I say that most Targets have a Starbucks inside. If this isn’t reason enough to visit a Target, then I don’t know what is. When I lived in North Carolina, I used to do my grocery shopping at Target (reason #4758 Target wins) and I would get there right at 8 in the morning, grab myself a coffee, and do my shopping. Walking around Target with a Starbucks in your hand is a wonderful feeling -- try it!

There Is Something for Everyone

This is why everyone needs to visit a Target. Whether you are going for groceries, bathroom essentials, or workout clothes, it has it all. From home decor to men’s apparel and outdoor furniture, I can guarantee that everyone can find something they love there!

The Cartwheel App

Please tell me you know what this is! If you don’t, then you can thank me later (or now!). The Cartwheel App is an app on your phone that provides discounts at Target. You just create a login and start browsing! They have different deals all the time on pretty much everything! I’ve gotten 25% off clothing, groceries, electronics and really anything in the store. After I create my Target list before going, I’ll search the Cartwheel app and see if there's anything on sale that is on my list. It’s almost like a game, seeing how much I can save each time I go. The app also allows you to unlock “Trophies” for different items you have saved on -- it’s super fun! Once you select which items you want to save on, you have the cashier scan the barcode on the app and BAM. Easy as pie. Everyone needs this app on their phone!

So if those aren’t reasons enough to get your butt to Target today, then I guess keep shopping at Walmart (everyone, calm down, I’m not knocking Walmart). But what can be better than walking in a bright Target, coffee in hand, browsing The Dollar Spot, and saving money?
