We needed groceries, underwear, the latest Jennifer Weiner and Vince Flynn novels, a Gameboy DS, an electric guitar, a new men’s suit and 10W-40 motor oil. (Actually we only needed Halloween candy and milk, but had we left with all of those other things and more, I wouldn’t have been at all surprised. That’s the beautiful genius of Target.) I choose SuperTarget over the competition for a variety of reasons. But, unsurprisingly, I am primarily motivated by the carts – fabulous new carts with ample seating for three small children.Of course, maneuvering a cart large enough to seat a family of five and accommodate groceries, takes an approach. My approach is to push the cart gently through the aisles, staying on the right side, reminding the children to keep their arms and bodies in the vehicle, yielding to little old ladies on their larks. I approach the task slowly, methodically, conscientiously. My husband’s approach differs. When we arrived at Target, we grabbed the first big cart we came across in the parking lot. I loaded the kids, and he assumed the cart-pushing position. [...] [...] Yesterday, we made a family trip to our local SuperTarget.
