popping target's cherry

today is the opening of the new giant store in the new monroe market place. target also had a "soft" opening. needless to say, i had nose trouble and wanted to see what the new stores would be like.

do you know what it's like to go to a store that's actually full of merchandise? rows of toothpaste no one else touched? clothing in my size? it's a WONDERFUL feeling! the only thing i couldn't find was the limited edition boots rainbow eye shadow, but the clerk said that they didn't get all their merch yet so it may still be coming. i got 2 new merona shirts in my size. i got a new stainless steel quart pot. i got new snoopy xmas decorations. i thought i was just going for the eyeshadow and new sink strainer...and i walked out $250 poorer. the good news is i won't always shop that much. hopefully won't need a new pot for a long time. and i won't be getting clothes often either. the store is set up like the lancaster store. really nice. i can't wait to explore their grocery section. i didn't get to spend much time there, but they have a lot of great looking foods.

i thought i'd stop by the new giant store, which was having their grand opening. it reminds me of the store down in shrewsbury. it's also set up somewhat like weggie's. it's HUGE. its organics sections kicks weis' ass. i got the boy's newman letter cookies for the halloween party. they sell my favorite yogurt (brown cow). i didn't get to go through the whole store - i was just looking for organics. weis had better bone up on their organics and meat counter. i don't go to giant often (i think it's expensive) but if i can get my organic foods there and they have more variety, then i won't have much choice. i can get stuff there without planning my quarterly visit to wegmans or running to lewisburg.
