today i reveled in one of my greatest delights in manhattan: TARGET. i know what some of you are thinking: "you live in NYC, a city that is filled with amazing places on every corner, and your favorite thing is TARGET?!?!?" i'm sure you want to strangle me now, but hang on while i explain myself.
yesterday i went to the food emporium because i needed just a few things, one of them being cereal. i walked to the cereal aisle and nearly had a heart attack when i saw that there was not one box of cereal less than $5.50. the kind i wanted in particular was $6.38. im sorry but unless that cereal has a GOLD RING as the "prize" there is no way on god's green earth im paying $6.38 for some sugar and grains.
today, therefore, i ventured up to target. granted it is a bit out of the way, but the exact same cereal was $2.75. the savings on that one item alone more than pays for the bus ride it takes to get there. not only that but i left with a bag full of groceries for $22 which, in my neighborhood would have cost at least 2 times that much.
plus, there is something comforting about the red and white bullseye that is target. there is still a dollar spot, in fact, some of the things are LESS THAN A DOLLAR!!! i felt like buying them just because i haven't found ANYTHING in manhattan that is less than a dollar. additionally, with the heart attack of my electric bill this month, ill be rationing that cereal for a VERY LONG TIME.
so, ill leave the boutique grocery stores to the people who can live between park and 5th, and you can find me in target. its either cereal from target or air conditioning...
