As you may have heard, Target is shutting down here in Canada, and liquidation sales begin on Thursday. Now, I've been to Target only a handful of times so I'm no expert at shopping there, nor do I have any idea how liquidation sales work (other than the company trying to get rid of everything) but I am planning on perusing the sale after my volunteer shift (hopefully there'll still be some stuff at that time) and here's what I'm going to look out for:
1. Groceries. I don't know if the liquidation sale will be extended to food items, but if it will, then I'm specifically looking to stock up on pasta, canned soup, and Oreos.
2. Art supplies. Again, having shopped Target only a handful of times, I'm not even sure if Target has the things I'm looking for (specifically, jewelry making things like cotton cord and beads); but if they do, then I will be allllll over that.
3. Workout clothes. On one of my strolls through Target, I got a pair of gym shorts that are currently one of my favourite pairs (I guess it's also due to the fact that I only have two pairs, not counting my basketball shorts bought from the boys section at Winners).
4. iPhone cases. My current case is lovely and all, but it's in the way of the camera's lens, giving all of my photos a semi vignette effect. I'll be looking for a wallet-style case like my current one, but also some simpler ones so I have options.
5. Toiletries and makeup. Specifically, cotton pads, mascara, heat protectant spray, and makeup removing wipes.
6. Half-socks. Or whatever those things are called.
7. Dishwasher detergent. Because we don't have any at home.
So... I've essentially shared my shopping list with you in a blog post. Whoops. Well it's mostly for me, so I make sure I don't end up buying a ton of crap that I don't really need. If I do actually end up buying things, I will write a follow-up post to let y'all know how it went.
Stay cool but keep warm!
Update (February 7) On Thursday afternoon, before finishing my shift, twitter was abuzz about how a) the line-ups were ridiculous and b) the discounts were really pathetic; so I let my plans to venture there after my shift dissolve. But I ended up there anyway and wow, was it ever disappointing. I mean, come on, Target, if you're trying to get the hell out of here, you're gonna try harder than that.
The only sale worth mentioning was the 30% off cosmetics but the cosmetics section was completely ravaged by the time I got there (and it wasn't any better when I visited another location after work the day after). It very much looked like a hurricane blew through. There was almost nothing displayed nicely, all the items were scattered everywhere and products were opened and used and gross, which was really disappointing because, come on people, did you have to rip everything off the shelves like hooligans?
Sigh. But mascaras for $4.90!!!!!!!!!
