save even more with Target

I didn't always live in Alaska... I use to live in a town with ample access to my favorite store, Target. Now, my Target experience involves the computer and a virtual shopping cart (although, if I make microwave popcorn before I log on, it is almost the same. ha ha).

In my prior post, I mentioned the Sarah Blakely Foundation. I forgot to mention that she recently partnered with Target and has a new line called Assets, sold exclusively through the retailer. A portion of each purchase goes straight to the charity.

Anyways, Target is known for having great stuff at great prices, but if you are looking to save even more money, head to CouponChief.com as they have Target coupons.

Sarah Blakely is one Clever Chick!

You may be familiar with Sarah Blakely, maybe not... but if you have ever entered the hosiery department of a major store or read a fashion magazine, you've seen her product Spanx. She started her company with $5000, took a vacation from her job and drove around to hosiery mills, looking for a way to get her creation made. Once she had a product in hand she was a one-woman publicity force and landed major contracts in top stores. She is a self-made success and now she has created the Sarah Blakely Foundation, in order to help other women achieve success. Check out the website and spread the word.
