I spent $344 at Target, had a burrito from Chipotle!

[Beware the Beast Man]

Ask me anything!

[Not_Giving_Up]

1. What did you buy at Target?

[Beware the Beast Man]

2. Nothing, I'm just baiting the "shop blue" folk!

Heheheh....:evilgrin:

Yeah, if I HAD $344.

[Blue-Jay]

8. hahahaha!

Seriously... If we ONLY shopped "blue" we'd not have much of a selection, particularly when you take into account the various definitions of "blue shopping".

[crispini]

12. You are a baaaaad man. But funny! :)

:spank:

[hlthe2b]

24. Target isn't what I'd call a red shop.... It is mixed in its donations....

And its policies generally seem more blue than red....


Not as blue as I'd like, surely, but certainly much much better than Walmart.

[Blue-Jay]

3. Did you go for the black bean w/ onion burrito?

good stuff.

[Beware the Beast Man]

5. I went for the fattest burrito they had, with Special Sauce!

[saracat]

4. Target isn't a Blue store. Shame on you!

but we all do it.Next to impossible this time of year! We do what we can!

[Kathy in Cambridge]

13. Sorry, Target is the one red store I shop in

I am pretty consistent otherwise.

[mzmolly]

17. What Blue stores are left? *no pun intended*

Target gave 60% to R's and 40% to Dems, that beats Walmart by a long shot.

It is also a store that gives many Grants to organizations that help many causes.

So, I shop there at times because it's the best alternative in my area.

Any other Suggestions? :hi:

[Beware the Beast Man]

20. I sincerely agree.

And as a former PT worker for Target, I'll vouch for the fact that they are great to their employees, much better than some (albeit a bit stingy with their wages, but hey).

[crispini]

21. Don't know where ya live...

if it's all ya got, then :shrug: everyone does what they can. In my area, there are many locally owned non-chain businesses, resale shops, secondhand stores like Goodwill, for groceries, Whole Foods, etc. I used to have a SERIOUS Target habit -- I was in there every week, even bought groceries at the SuperTarget. I have managed to wean myself off of them and I am buying much less now, because I'm making a point to buy in locally owned shops. It's more of a pain in the ass -- I love Target, everything all under one roof is great! But it made it waaaaaay too easy for me to buy too much crap --- because it was there.

[hlthe2b]

26. I like your moderate attitude, but one should also balance GASOLINE

use. If one can shop local stores close by--great. On foot, even better. But, if one is avoiding a MIXED store, like Target (which does after all give 40% to Dems and does have rather blue policies), to drive miles across town, think of the boost you are giving to Bush* key benefactors--the energy industry.

[crispini]

28. True dat.

Nah, I live in a big urban car-riffic area. I just go by the places I need to go on the way home. It's just "places other than Target" now. :(

Now, my COMMUTE is another thing entirely, but I'll have to start working on that slowly. At one point I was in good enough shape to bike to work, but since it's 17 miles and approx an hour and a half one way on the bike, it's kind of a big committment.

I *do* carpool 1 day a week. :)

31. Hell I rarely shop at any major chain store.

But I do shop Target about 2 or 3 times per year.

We have small downtown shops, but the prices are 3x higher and the selection is not much.

I also shop at used clothing stores and Whole foods when I can.

But, when I need to buy gifts, I buy new. :hi:

[hlthe2b]

25. Exactly... Target iS NOT RED... not purely either one, but more blue than

most BIG BOX stores....

So, the purists can just go chill out... NOT shopping at the obvious REPUG stomping grounds (e.g., Walmart) is certainly a worthwhile start. I really resent the tendency to try to "one up each other" on how PURE BLUE we are.

:mad:

32. Target was also owned by Mark Dayton's family at one time....

He's my Senator from Minnesota, and they have a solid history of being a good organization.

;)

6. Chipotle is the BEST! Steak fajita burritos--I could live on those things

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

7. Do you make our own burritos?

[Beware the Beast Man]

10. No I don't, Wolfgang-fucking-Puck!

:P

[Blue-Jay]

11. No, but he made his own "special sauce"

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

15. ¡CALIENTÉ!

[JohnKleeb]

9. what kinda burrito at chipolte?

I love that place but unfortunely for me as a non driver and the fact my parents and brothers don't like the place, i hardly get to go.

[Beware the Beast Man]

16. The Carnitas Fajita with Red Chili & Chili Corn Salsa is my fave.

Guac on the side!

[JohnKleeb]

18. That sounds good, I love that place so damn much

[Der Blaue Engel]

27. Dammit! I thought the bunny post was making me hungry...

...now I want Mexican food! That does it. I'm going to lunch today, and nobody's stopping me.

[Beware the Beast Man]

14. Sorry, the shop blue thing is sincere,

but my love for takeout burritos runs deep.

[mzmolly]

19. Did you order the strong Margarita in the plastic cup!

Heh, they're pretty darn good. :P

[GRLMGC]

22. Did you eat the whole thing?

I can never manage to eat more than half.

[Beware the Beast Man]

23. Oh, I'm more than capable

Sadly....

[GRLMGC]

29. I can usually eat a lot

I don't know what it is about those burritos.

[donheld]

30. Yum!
