The "department store IKEA"...

I had to go to Target today to pick up a few things. Target is like... hm...almost like Åhléns in Sweden (not like the big Åhléns in downtown Stockholm, but the smaller versions). There is a Target almost everywhere (or a Wal-Mart which is more or less the same).

Going to Target is also like going to IKEA.

It's impossible to go there thinking you're going to pick up one or two things.

You always end up spending $100 or more and fill a shopping cart. With things you didn't know you needed.

Hm.... I wonder if that's why the shopping carts are so big...

Target is the BEST! I have also compared it to Åhlens in the past!
You go in for a roll of scotch tape and walk out with 200 dollars less in your pocket. Sad, but true...

Jag blir litet avundsjuk på er som kan handla i större affärer (IKEA, Target osv). Jag har alltid bott på mindre orter där det inte finns särskilt många affärer. Nu när jag bor i Oregon finns det en jättestor Wal-Mart men annars är det tunnsått med andra affärer. Jag beställde precis ett par saker från Target online. Man kan göra fynd med "free shipping" och "Coupons".

IKEA has mail order service on their web. site but I don't recommend ordering big things like furniture. The cardboard boxes are low quality.
