I had a feeling that the Adam Lippes for Target collection wouldn't sell out as quickly as past designer collabs (cough, Lilly Pulitzer, cough) so yesterday I made my way to the nearest store in the afternoon and was happy to find a wide selection still in stock. In fact I think anything my store was carrying was still available in a range of sizes. Challenged to reinterpret classic plaid for the modern woman, Lippes delivered a collection of clothing and home decor with a rustic sophistication, that retails under $130.

Fact: Shopping at Target is a lot of fun. There are so many great items there that it’s easy to overspend. Fortunately, there are just as many tricks to shopping at the Bullseye - from paying attention to their markdown schedule to shopping the end caps - to help you stick to your budget and save some cash, too. Here are 10 of our favorite tips and tricks to help you save money on your next Target run:

The never-ending cycle of holidays can be exhausting at times, but then, CHEVRON PUMPKINS! And I'm pulled right back into the fray. Target has their Halloween decor out in the dollar bins and there's a lot of cuteness for your upcoming festivities. It's the first spot we hit on our Target runs (me and the little guy) to pick up seasonal items, as well as toys, stickers, craft supplies and candy (oh yes). Sometimes I feel like it should be called the "three dollar spot" instead of "one dollar" because many of the cute items I gravitate towards cost $3, but I'm okay with that for now. Ghoulish mason jars, string lights, shabby chic signs, festive votives, pumpkin stamps and stickers, it's all there and so affordable.

Earlier this week I visited Target to see if the new A+ by Aldo collection had made its debut yet, but sadly it had not. I've seen some pics on Instagram of the bags cropping up at other stores in other parts of the country but no luck in my area just yet. If you've seen the new Aldo shoes or bags, let me know, I'm dying to see them in real life! If you're as excited as me and can't wait to get your hands on some A+, you can shop a few styles online on sale (buy one get one half off!!)...but I'm waiting to try stuff on. I'm in love with the navy Emery boots and this Mulberry-inspired bag...drool.
