I stopped by Target this evening to pick up a few things and I figured it would be a routine trip. My shopping list wasn’t terribly out of the ordinary but I wasn’t very successful…
Full spectrum light bulbs, 75 watt — I prefer the lighting of full spectrum light bulbs and I was running low on 75 watt bulbs (though I had plenty of 60 watt bulbs). Well, what do you know — Target also had plenty of 60 watt bulbs (and even 100 watt bulbs) but no full spectrum 75 watt bulbs.
Natural peanut butter, creamy — I've become somewhat of a peanut butter fiend and I probably go through a jar a week. I often have to pick up one or two more jars when I make a trip to Target. So, I walked over to Aisle One in search of creamy natural peanut butter — no such luck. Sure, they had Natural Peanut Butter with Honey and, as tasty as that sounded, I didn’t really want the extra sugar. And, they even had regular Natural Peanut Butter but it was the crunchy kind.
Scrubbie brush for the sink at work — our new office at work now has a sink and I was thinking that I could use it to clean my glass at the end of the day. (I have a glass which I keep filled with water and I just clean it in the bathroom at the moment.) Target let me down here as well. They had a couple scrubbie brushes but they were all cyan and I couldn’t bring myself to buy a cyan scrubbie brush (would black have been too much to ask?).
Toothbrush — my old toothbrush was looking a little scraggly and I figured I should opt for a new one. And, as usually is the case, it was mostly a guessing game once I got to the toothbrush aisle — they have about a hundred varieties and all kinds of numbers (what the heck does “soft 40” mean anyway?) and I ended up picking one that kinda resembled my old one.
I had four things on my list and could only buy one of them. Come on Target, get your act together, eh? Among other things, I’ll now have to ration my peanut butter intake as I think I'm on my last jar (and about halfway through it, at that). I have half a mind to take my business elsewhere but it seems that the other major supermarkets have adopted those silly cards and, privacy concerns aside, I don’t want those cluttering my wallet.
We do have some new scrubby sponges at work. Picked up a few weeks ago.
Indeed, I did notice those :). But, I was hoping to get an actual brush with a handle as I wasn’t sure I’d be able to reach the bottom of my glass with a regular sponge.
