I don't have this problem as much because my Target is an hour away. When I do go I compile a list of ONLY the things I have coupons for. The Target web coupons are great but I usually save them for my local Price Chopper because they accept competitor coupons and they will even dbl them! The $1 section gets me sometimes though. Who can resist their cute storage items for only a buck! (even though I can usually get the same things at the dollar store) My only tip is to avoid walking by the $1 and clearance sections (ok, walk by the clearance section but ONLY get something if you have a coupon for it) Hope this helped!
