I love Target. It's a fabulous one-stop-shop (well, the ones with groceries anyway) that you can easily waste hours in, buying things that you didn't know you needed simply because they're on sale...or shiny...or just there when you have the money...
But for some reason, I keep finding myself buying a few things and returning at least one of them shortly after the fact for various reasons. Maybe it looks one color in the fluorescent lights and a totally different color in the sun. Maybe it's just the wrong brand. Either way, I will walk out of the red doors feeling completely accomplished and partially broke, only to get back to my apartment and regret my decision.
Example: Today, I went to Target specifically for the non-medicated store brand version of the apricot facial scrub made popular by St. Ives. Trying it was a fluke really; I simple grabbed what looked like the cheapest thing on the shelf. However, it's the best face wash I've ever used and I'm afraid to use anything else. So much so that I refuse to even open either of the two bottles of medicated St. Ives scrub that I bought I while back...at Target...because they were on sale.
Anyway, I grabbed two of the Target brand scrubs, in an effort to think toward the future and stock up and left with that familiar sense of accomplishment. It wasn't until I got home and started to unpack my store finds that I actually looked I what I had purchased.
Up and Up Medicated Apricot Scrub. In my attempt to avoid one medicated version, I just ended up buying another one. And once I again, I will be taking a trip to Target simply to exchange something that I bought the last time. Everyone knows that Target trips come in twos.
