in the realm of Target...

Was in the realm of Target the other day gathering the usual goods...diapers...milk...and food based products.  Ended up in line behind this lady who, I am pretty certain, went through everyone's garbage on the block to manifest coupons.  I am all for coupons, they are treasure trove of savings a little here and there.  After 10 minutes of producing coupons from her magical coupon basket, she had finally claimed all her coupon based joy and was moving on.  At this point I noticed that all her goods were bagged in plastic Target bags.  If you are so obsessed with saving every tiny little cent you can on everything from toilet paper to cheese nips...why not bring your own re-usable bags to Target!?  They give you 5 cents off per bag used!  5 cents, sure it doesn't seem like a lot but if you total it up over the year it ends up to be like a whopping 10 dollars for us!  Lady, if you are going to spend that much time clipping coupons you think you could go that extra step to save a 25cents every-time you go to Target.
