A certain part of a certain TV program dedicated to entertainment and lifestyles that appeared to have had been part of the main broadcast channel for WPMI-TV during the second half of the hour of 12:00 p.m. on the Thursday of the first day of the month of August for the calendar year ("Gulf Coast Today") appeared to have had this conversation between some of its contributors (Amanda Booz (host) and Jamie McGriff (host)): 

Amanda Booz: All right, now, if you are a Tarjay lover like my self, you are going to love this story, and Jamie. So for the past twenty years, Target has shown customers you don't need to spend, all of your fortune, in order to look, fashionable.

Jamie McGriff: That is very true. Thanks to it's design for all program, the retail offers high-end label like a Zac Posen, and Lilly Pulitzer, and Missoni, uh, to name a few and, for a fraction of the cost.

Amanda: Wow, yeah this is true. Target definitely let's you get a bargain when you are at these stores, and in honor of these collaborations with all these brands, Tarjay is releasing a collection, featuring nearly three hundred, limited edition items from all past designer collabs.

Jamie McGriff: It'll launch September fourteenth. Prices are going to be ranging from seven, dollars--

Disembodied voice: First. 

Amanda Booz: Seven dollars.

Jamie McGriff: -- to a hundred sixty bucks. I thought that was a very smart move by Target, to partner with these designers because that also, creates longevity for the designers to keep those multiple streams of income that we, hear other people and businesses talk about, uh, and other entrepreneurs. Uh, so, just, I think that was very cleaver to meet the needs of people, especially families who are on a budget.

Amanda Booz: I agree, and it doesn't, it makes people feel like they're left out because I,--

Jamie McGriff: Mm hm. 

Amanda Booz: -- know a lot of us rich who can shop and all these, glamorous, you know, stores with all these high-fashion designers but, we're trying to save, you know--

Jamie McGriff: Absolutely. 

Amanda Booz: -- we want to be able to save, and also have the high fashion, so that's why I think this is a great way to merge the two, Tarjay. That's why you're going to keep, keep getting my money.

Jamie McGriff: Yes.

Amanda Booz: It's like you can have my money.

Jamie McGriff: Yes.
