Insider's Guide to Target Shopping

As an avid shopper at Target and reader of blogs, I see a common trend...many of us seem to love the feeling of $50+ dollars being sucked from our pockets every time we step foot into this store!  I don't know about you, but I seriously can NOT step foot into that store for a roll of toilet paper, a simple gift bag or one tube of toothpaste without rolling out of there with a basket full half-full of at LEAST $50 worth of stuff I never knew I couldn't live without!

Here are a few tips I've come across in my blog reading to make it either less painful or to make that $50 minimum stretch a little bit further.

First, we all know that the end caps house all the clearance and reduced priced items.  Some of the end caps are in the center aisle and the others are back along the outside wall.  What I did NOT know is that Target has a clearance schedule!  (If you don't have Blissfully Domestic in your blogroll or your reader, it is a MUST, these people have the shitizzle on all things hip, hot and hoppin'.)  (I just copy them)

Target also takes all sorts of coupons as well as various printables from their own website.  I had not idea about this, but why would I?  I'm a total goober where coupons are concerned, but this Target printable coupon idea made me salivate a little which is my body's way of telling me to pay attention.
