Maybe I'm the only one who does this. I don't know.
It never fails, after I've finished my shopping at Target, on my way to the cash register...I go through my cart and see what I need to put back.
Did I put anything in here I don't really need?
Did I succumb to an impulse purchase?
Is there anything in here I don't really need now and that may be on sale next week?
Always, always, always...this happens.
And every time I find something I can put back.
So why do I pick it up in the first place? Goodness knows my Target bill is always more than I think it should be (which is why I shop at Walmart whenever possible). But sometimes, only Target will do.
Today, I came home with more than I planned, but that's really nothing new. Things that I really don't "need", but in a way I do.
What are they?
My Febreeze plug-ins. Particular candles. And my potpourri pot warmer that melts those oh-so-amazing wax pods. My new favorite? Amber Leather. Ahhhhhh...
What can I say? I MUST LIVE IN A SMELL-GOOD ENVIRONMENT! If you've been to my home, you know this.
Things that smell good make me happy. Makes me smile and want to breathe deep. Certain aromas even calm me.
So I'd say "need" is an appropriate word in this situation. My nose knows what's important.
You are killing me tonight with these posts T.
ReplyDeleteRemember when we would go to Target on our lunch hour and spend 45 minutes buying stuff that we did not need (and you ALWAYS bought candles) then rush to Chick fil a to get lunch and head back to the office?
Side note: Amber Leather? Sounds like porn set scent to me ;) Gosh, I hope that Ed and Sue do not read this blog. If so, I am not the Kim that you are thinking of ... at this time. Ever.
It's an addiction. And yes, what ended up being our 2 hours lunches were always fun! But hey, for everything else we had to deal with...they owed us at least that! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd porn set scent!? Ewwwwwwwwwww! Noooooooooooo! It smells great. Very clean. Much unlike what I'd imagine a porn set would smell like! (Dad and Sue...KIM brought this up. NOT your sweet, innocent daughter!).
