Ask:
Is it a blessing or a curse? I mean, I will be able to walk or ride my bike to Target, but then again, I will be so close, I will go too often. I love Target and end up spending money every time I go. Does anyone have a Super Target near them? This will be the first in our area. Do you buy your groceries there? They just started leveling the land, so it will be a while before it's open, but I'm pretty excited.
Answer:
Lucky you - wish I had a Super Target or Walmart where I live. (and yes you will be able to buy groceries there)
I too live across the street from a regular Target, well its a major shopping center. From a Safeway grocery store to Cold Stone ice cream, to a Payless shoes & more. I have it all.
I dont go too often at all.
Answer:
I have Super Target and buy the majority of my groceries there.
Kohl's on the other hand is right outside of my subdivision, and I can walk there. I used to think I'd be there all the time too, but the novelty wore off, and I'm not.
If Super Target is within walking distance for you, it may be a good thing. You won't be able to carry as many items home, so you might not overspend! You're also getting exercise while you do it!
Answer:
There is one right by my kid's preschool - the new ones are really really nice, and I go often, but if you are a cheap-o like me, you will find that frequent Target shopping rewards you with great clearance shopping. Mine marks stuff down on weekday mornings, so I have had first pick - like the day they were marking tons of stationary, arts/crafts supplies, scrapbook papers and tons more. I also walked in one morning when they were marking the World Market stuff down to 75% off and I got a great end table for $25 and some unbelievable art for one of my undecorated rooms. Another great deal for shopping there a lot is when they are changing out their dollar section every few months and mark stuff 75% off - so everything is a quarter. I got a ton of gift bags one day - how cheap is that. Be sure and go every day or so after Christmas, because when they mark the toys 75% off, you can stock up for birthdays for the whole year. I got princess dresses last year for $4 each.
As for groceries - some stuff is the same price as my regular grocery store. A few things are more expensive - like meat. I haven't been disappointed in any Target-brand stuff. They have Target brand organic milk that is cheaper than my grocery or even Costco. I am also picky about fabric softner and I like the liquid Target brand.
"my" Super-Target is so nice I can not set foot in Walmart anymore - it's disgusting. Plus, if you are in walking distance - you can go when it is almost empty and shop by yourself! Fun!

Me too. I really stocked up after Christmas on toys. As for Super Target being close. I can't wait. Ours is opening down the street on July 29th....yes, I know the date...I am super excited.
Answer:
We lived about 1/2 mile from a SuperTarget until we moved. It was both a blessing AND a curse Great for last minute items you forgot....but also great for buying too many clearance items!!
I did all my shopping at Target ~ Grocery and miscellaneous.
Answer:
Well, I'm so excited about it. After the mall that the Super Target is going into is built, we will have our bank, grocery stores (2), drug store, tons of clothes stores, a hardware store, medical offices, tons of restuarants, the movie theater and tons of other things within walking distance. Oh, and the best part is that they are adding a branch of our library into the mall!!! I guess the reason I'm so excited about it is that when we first bought our house 6 1/2 years ago, they had just built the theater, a couple of restaurants and a gas station, but there was nothing close to us, other than those. All of the sudden, we won't have to get into a car for anything anymore, except for me to go to school (30 miles away). I've never lived so close to so much in my life! I grew up a country girl.
Answer:
I love living in our small city. I have grocery stores, 2 malls, parks, Target, Kohls, Super Walmart and just about everything else 1-2 miles away. I could walk to one of the malls if I wanted to it is just 1 mile away.

Answer:
I have a new Super Target near me and you can buy just about everything there. It also has inside it a Starbucks, Pizza Hut and Cold Stone Creamery. I love it!
