C’mon Buy Stuff

Today was the day…

I could no longer resist, I went to Target and got sucked down the rabbit hole that is Halloween decorations. Honestly, I went in for hooks and tension rods and came out with a lot more.

In true Target fashion they suck you into the little $1-$3 section with things like this:

Decorative tins

Then I got curious and actively sought out the Halloween section, where I was immediately greeted by this rather cool looking tiny spider. Real spider in the Halloween aisle? I had to let out a hearty laugh and of course take his picture. This little guy refused to sit still but I still got a shot of him…sort of.

Can you find the almost translucent spider?

I locked eyes on Halloween Barbie and it made me throw up a little. I don’t know why? It just seemed like this awful way to capitalize on little girls. Okay, yes I admit the entire Halloween section is there for that very reason, to capitalize on us.

As I made my way further into the Halloween section, I slowly became fascinated by the sheer amount of Halloween themed food products. I mean just look at it all.

And this is just a little taste, there was A LOT MORE. I love the Halloween season but do people actually buy this stuff?

Anyhoo, here’s a little something that made we want to yell at the top of my lungs, “It’s October!”
