    Specifically naming Target, I usually walk out with nothing.

    They don't carry clothing that fits and what little they do have is massively over-priced.

    My kids gave me a $25 Target gift card.

    After 10 months of searching for something I'd like on a personal level (and not succeeding!), I finally bought some groceries.

    I make a point to go in with a list and only buy what I came for. Not just with Target, but all stores!

  • I haven't either, I wanted to just BUY 1 item but ended up with several..I like their unique colors and styles they have..we all need a variety once in awhile.Sometimes I can find things in Target that I can't find in Walmart..

    I always use a shopping list. The only way I will go over my list is if I see something that I forgot to put on the list. I have always been good at avoiding impulse buying. The only store where that is an exception is Bed Bath and Beyond. I am totally addicted to that place so I avoid it like a plague!

    May I substitute Walmart, please? The closest Tar-jay is over an hour away. I have come away from Walmart exactly twice with only the purchase I intended to make, both times prescriptions. And since the pharmacy is always, but always, located near the back of the store, that means I had to use a lot of will power to walk past the impulse buys. I am now done patting myself on the back.

    The name of the store doesn't matter: As a male I always go to the store and leave only with what I went there for. Men buy, women shop.

    I don't shop at Target, but when I shop I only buy what I went for, nothing else.

    Yes. I find Target's to be way too expensive for my taste. So I rarely come out with more than I need or i'd be broke.

    All the time. Very seldom do I go into any store and buy something I had not intended to buy when I went in

    We don't have a Target, but I rarely just buy what I came for. Some little goodie entices me.
