Would You Trust $3 Appliances From Target?

SavvySugar — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 06:00:13 -0800

Any bargain hunter knows quality and price aren't necessarily correlated. But a $3 coffeemaker? That's less than Starbucks and friends charge for several of their caffeinated menu items.

You might have heard that Target's supposed Black Friday deals were leaked online. A spokesperson for the company wouldn't confirm the rumored deals which include $3 Chefmate brand toasters and coffeemakers, high-definition TVs and navigation systems with slashed price tags, half-priced clothes and toys, and more. If the leaked advertisement is accurate, it sounds like Target is going all out this year trying to get shoppers in its automatic doors.

I'm not used to $3 appliances existing outside garage sales and thrift stores, so it's really something that the chain store is offering these low prices. Sure, I'd throw down a few bucks for a perfectly good, gently used appliance. After all, the person who bought it new surely spent more for the item. Something feels different about buying a new appliance for such a low price - I'm just not sure I'd trust that it would hold up for very long. What's your take?

This Cheap Makeup Remover Is Right on Target

BellaSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:01:37 -0800

I don't know about you, but when I see the skincare aisle at Target, my eyes glaze over. There's so much variety that it's easy to become overwhelmed. Last time I was there, I didn't have time to compare every single makeup remover, so I thought, "Enh, I'll try the Target brand. It's cheap."

Well, not only is it less than $4, but it gets rid of most makeup with just one swipe. What's more, I am not alone in my love of the Target makeup remover. My friend Sabs and I do weekly ANTM-inspired photo shoots. (You know, because we have awesome hobbies like that.) The last time we had a makeup-intensive look, I reached for that blue-tinted bottle. "Oh, that stuff is great," she said. "And cheap!" Which pretty much sums it up. There are lots of other good removers out there, but if you just want an effective and simple one, look no further.

Fuzz Crime Scene Scarf: Love It or Hate It?

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:00:22 -0800

No matter how many crazy things I see in fashion, a new piece can still have the same shocking effect. This Fuzz Crime Scene Scarf ($17) is supposed to go around your neck? The yellow color is cool but I say leave the crime scene tape at the crime scene. Apparently, some people disagree because the item is currently sold out. If you want it, provide your email - Target will notify you when it becomes available.

Pick Up Two Wii Games at Target, Get a Third For Free

GeekSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:31:35 -0700

Want to stock up on some Nintendo Wii video games before the holidays? Either to give as gifts or to play when guests come over? Well, for the next week at Target, when you buy any two Wii games for $50, you can get the third game for free.

With more than 80 games to choose from, you are guaranteed to find all of your favorites - including classics like Wii Fit, Mario Kart, and The Beatles: Rock Band.

I'm usually more of a buy one, get one free kinda girl, but in this case, picking out three new games is more fun than work!

Look of the Day: Fall Fur

FabSugar — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 04:00:22 -0700

One of the best things about Autumn is dressing up in warm, cuddly clothes. That's exactly what deuxfashion did today. Her vintage Fall fur vest looks luxe and luscious. I like how she paired it with a loose blouse and skinny jeans for a modern bohemian vibe. Zoe would be proud.

Here's what she has on:

Vest: Foxfor
Jeans: Forever 21
Shoes: Target
Blouse: Vintage
Bracelets: Unknown
Necklace: Unknown

Congrats to moni2182!

Everyone else, join the Look of the Day group, then submit your looks. I might feature you on FabSugar!

Target and Wal-Mart Start to Slash Prices on Toys

babysugar — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 06:00:28 -0700

Shoppers, listen up! The pumpkins are barely ripe for carving and already the mega stores are having price slashing wars. Target and Wal-Mart have made the 2009 holiday toy budget a tad more realistic as they have marked loads of games and dolls down to half-price. Parents who like to keep their local mom and pop businesses afloat may be reconsidering that approach this holiday season when they see Barbies and G.I. Joes at dirt cheap prices. Will the state of the economy affect where you are shopping this holiday season?

Gaultier For Target - Woo-Hoo!

FabSugar — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 09:51:57 -0700

UPDATE: Jean Paul Gaultier's exclusive line for Target will debut in stores and online on March 7. Photos haven't been released yet, but we do know the collection will feature pieces inspired by American women and pop culture from the past and the present.

We have no sneak peeks yet, but we do know it's going to happen. Jean Paul Gaultier has signed on with Target to be the next Designer Collaborator. Anna Sui's collab is available in stores and online now and included a pop-up store in NYC; sources say a pop-up may happen for Gaultier. I'm looking forward to a cool dose of Parisian chic and some hot prints. Stay tuned . . .
