"Target" like store in Paris ??
I need to buy basic home supplies for a 9 month stay in Paris, everything will probably be donated at the end of the year, so I don't want to spend too much.
Any ideas for things from a-z, sheets, basic household items? Is there an Ikea nearby?

It is worth a trip to the suburbs to a hypermarkets like Carrefour or Auchan, as well as a stop at one of the six Ikeas surrounding Paris.
If you have no access to a car, you can find Auchan stores at metro Galliéni or La Défense-Grande Arche and you can get to Carrefour at metro Saint Denis-Basilique, Porte d'Auteuil or Porte de Montreuil.

I agree with Kerouac. It would probably be best to head out to a big hypermarket or Ikea for that kind of stuff (especially sheets!). Monoprix can actually be quite expensive for household items, especially if you are looking for stuff you'll not be keeping for long.
Most neighbourhoods also have a few cheap "dollar" type stores where they sell everything from laundry baskets to scissors and string.
You could also check out Casa, a cheapish homeware chain (crockery, cooking utensils, tablecloths, lamps, rugs, throws, etc.). There are several dotted around Paris.

Some people think this place is too cheap, but try Tati. There's a huge one in Montmartre. They pretty much had everything. My sister and I picked up a pretty duvet cover w/2 pillow cases for only 10e.

Tati is indeed an excellent resource for "temporary use" linens, towels and other cheap household items. People come from every part of Africa to shop there -- and I go there regularly myself, as it is close to my apartment.

I once went shopping at Tati with my old friend the Countess de Billy. She wore a Verdura brooch whilst we shopped for underwear, socks, and pantyhose.
It was so much fun. I really liked Tati.

For sheets, towels, home accessories I like Bouchara (next to Galeries Lafayette.) If you read French, pick up a copy of "Paris Pas Cher," with tons of inexpensive places to buy everything, plus restaurants, home repair, etc. Ditto everyone else: Monoprix, Auchan, Carrefour, Inno for one stop shopping.
