If I was in charge.....

One thing I love about this blog is that I get to inform my readers and play that game "If I was in charge...."

It's a fun game! Well, for me anyway. Feel free to play the in-home version at your place if you like with you 'in charge'.

First, for the informative part of this post: Let's talk about Target.

Admit it, you love Target.  I don't know many people that don't.

Yes, you can go in there for a single greeting card and come out twenty minutes later with over $50 worth of stuff, but you can't deny that that's kinda fun.

Where else can you buy a shirt, windshield wipers, a mop, and earphones for your ipod all at the same time?


And now, you can buy food at Target!   

Yes, real food. When my mom was in town a few months ago, we got everything for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner at Target, including the turkey, which, I might add, was cheaper than in any area grocery store.

I don't think a lot of people know this, but most Target stores have taken out their Home and Garden departments and put in grocery sections

And, when comparing prices (at least in my area), Target is often $.50 to $1, or more, cheaper on almost all items than the local chain markets.

No, there isn't a deli, a salad bar or a huge selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, but there are plenty of staples and usually a large frozen section as well.

Why Target is not advertising this new development is beyond me.

Now, this is the time where I get say, "If I was in charge...."

So, If I was in charge, the next Target ad campaign would feature more about the new grocery sections and the low prices featured in that area.

Maybe Target is planning on rolling out just such a campaign, but if they don't, I feel that I've done my duty here by letting you know about this.
