When you go somewhere and end up spending WAY more money than you originally intended. Like when you go to Target for a few things and end up with a cart full of things you didn't mean to buy.
I went to H&M yesterday to buy a pair of pants and suffered from the Target Effect. I spent $350 on new clothes. 😭

Get the 24 hour sniper target mug.contrary to popular belief, Target is not a bad place to shop and/or work. They pay me more than any of my friends make at thier jobs, and i always walk out knowing that i had a good, productive day, that i would have otherwise spent on my ass. the one problem I have is that they have recently cracked down on thier minor policy, and if we work one minute after 8 hours, we get yelled at. pay is good, atmosphere is good, its a clean store. superior to wal-mart in every conceivable way. the people there are amazing, and everyone is nice. more upscale than wal-mart, but prices that are not even close to high.
