by "popular demand" (ok, maybe 3 people, but they suggested it strongly), i'll be checking in each week with the latest and greatest gems to be found at TARGET -- home of good design for everyday people (with an occassional cameo by TJMaxx or anywhere something fabulous can be found at a bargain price).
all prices mentioned are, of course, at my local TARGET (near pittsburgh, PA, USA), and i'm sure they don't apply to all TARGET's everywhere. since merchandise varies from store to store, day to day, there are no guarantees, but here are some ideas.
today's best TARGET finds:
thomas o-brian floor cushions: now just $12.98 each, these cushy textured vinyl beauties started out at $49.99. just the right fit for under my nesting coffee table, and will nicely serve as a tuffett while i laptop.
$1 section half-price sale: summer items priced to go. suggestions include a rubber camping mallet, folding camping shovel, 6-compartment spice "jars" (they're plastic, look for tops in lime green and orange), square scrapbooks with ribbon closure, and 3 floating starfish candles. that's all for just $.50 a piece.
magnetic frames: small, shapely magnetic "frames" are stuck to a metal board that also has a magnet-on-back for fridge-hanging, the 3-photo and 5-photo versions are both just $1.48 now.
throw pillows: many are on clearance. look for a shiny lime green one with copper zig-zag stripes, it's just $2.98.
women's underthings: crazy clearance with seemingly half the dept at 30% or more off.
method candles: these aren't on sale, but you may be able to find a nice coupon. the apple & vanilla scent is worth full-price.
in the garden section: if you're very lucky, you might still be able to find the giant metal ant. well worth it, if you can get it.
looking ahead toward FALL...
for the best season of the year, TARGET's offering a line of sweater purses with pom-poms in an array of fall colors including dark red and yellow ochre. also check out the giant change-purse bag by isaac mizrahi -- in 2 colors, sienna & black. there are some pointy dark-red shoes with potential, but they seem to be a little wide, definitely try on before buying.

pictures pictures pictures, i want posted pictures of the items you speak of. great idea for the site though!
Hooray for Targeteria!
some of us aren't quite as stealthy as others and get yelled at for taking pictures inside the store. some of us need to buy a tiny point-n-shoot camera and/or take pix of the items at home.
last week i bought a tiny point-n-shoot sony camera...where? at TARGET! where it was $25 less than the same camera at best buy. now i can stealthly capture in-store images...or at least give it a better try.
