Target -- Bullseye or ... ?????

My sister had given me a gift card from Target earlier last month (February) so, what better use than groceries.

I went "grocery shopping" on Saturday evening (last week) with $10.00. My poor cat was suffering from "carbon monoxide poisoning" every time she went into her litter box. Besides my roommate and I (especially me) were having the muncholas.

I was surprised. There are some items that Target hit the bullseye with, with their own store brand. The store brand is called the Market Pantry.

Although I have not tried every single one of them, I purchased four items (Hey, ten dollars only goes so far). I bought the microwave popcorn ($.88), the graham cracker "s'mores" mini sandwiches ($1.02), the thin wheat crackers ($1.89 ); and the mini marshmallows ($.89).

My roommate tried the microwave popcorn yesterday afternoon and said "I like my other brand better".

I ate the graham cracker sandwiches between Saturday night and Monday night. They were okay, not great, but okay. I personally would have preferred additional chocolate filling, but hey, beggars can't be choosers...or can we?

Believe it or not, the "thin wheats" have lasted until this week. I have been slowly munching on them and have added them to "ramen" soup. I have totally enjoyed these little crackers and it is a pretty full box. I found them to be just as good as the "brand name" thin wheat crackers.

I used the marshmallows last night and made crispy rice treats. They were like any other marshmallows that I have bought before at a lesser price (Save-a-Lot), so I wasn't impressed.

Oh, yeah, the Tidy Cat ($1.89) was a hit. My cat, Princess, thanked me over and over again.

Well stay tuned to see what shopping I do this week.
