I feel the same way about Target! Glad to know there is someone else out there with the same affliction. I limit myself to one trip every two months for household supplies and try and bribe my DH to come along. He helps me stick to the list. It equals out to about $15 a week on household and other if I do it this way. Ah...Target why are you so tempting? .-= MamaRuck´s last blog ..Snow Day =-.

I rarely go to Target either. I prefer to grocery shop at Aldi (nice and simple, very few temptations to go off-list) and Goodwill (where I can get Target merchandise for cheap!). .-= Kristen@TheFrugalGirl´s last blog ..Food Waste Friday | I don't think this is my fault. =-.

I love to hear that other people avoid discount stores for the same reason I do…you ALWAYS spend too much money and can never quite place a finger on what it was that ended up costing so darn much.

Nice idea for a post. Not buying books is definitely a key step I’ve had to learn. Also, DH and I made a great leap forward when we stopped eating out and shopping for fun.

I would add that ditching the TV (and magazines) is helpful to. I find that both encourage consumerism.

Anyway it’s fun reading about other people’s efforts. Imene, what country do you live in–if you don’t mind my asking.
