Target $ Spot = DUNZO?

Say it ain’t so! Unless the 4th comment from a Target employee is correct.

I work at Target. What I’ve been told is that they’re keeping the 1 spot. 75% of the 1 spot will be $1. 25% will be 2/$5. Apparently there will be better quality items in the 2/$5 area.

I love the Dollar Spot because I can find useful items to incorporate into little gifts for friends. The other day, I gave my version of the altered lunchbox, which is a Target $ Spot CD box and big magnetic clip to a friend.

Favorite items I’ve picked up from the Dollar Spot:

  • Jumbo light blue and brown magnetic clips — works as photo Stand on end on a table with clippy side up to serve as photo holders
  • Magnetic solid and mesh tins with plastic see-through lids — for postage stamps, paper clips, push pins and other small office supplies
  • 10 sheets of 12×12 Valentine-themed patterned paper — for making Valentines, a mini scrapbook and themed gifts
  • 4-pack of gel pens — again for the cards and scrapbook
  • 5-yard spools of ribbon
  • Little silicone potholders
  • Deck of music and America trivia cards
