Target Trap: 70% Toy Clearance

So I caved and visited Target and its glorious 70% off toy clearance. I don't have a lot of kids to shop for, but I do have a 3 1/2 year old niece and a nearly 2 year old nephew who is on my holiday shopping list.

Most of the good stuff had been picked over already, but I got a few good things. There were tons of girly toys but most had really tiny parts so I didn't want to go there with a toddler in the house. I don't want to be responsible for a choking episode. Good thinking, right Erica?

Crayola Cars 2 Stick N' Play Poster - $4.01 down from $13.99
Hi Ho! Cherry-O Preschool Game - $3.26 down from $10.89
Cars 2 Geo Trax Cars (they talk, how cool!) - $3.74 down from $12.49  (I got 2 packages of these)

In addition to the toy clearance, I also got some other goodies
Spritz 20 sq ft gift wrap - $.83 down from $.3.99 (I got 3 of these)
Spice packets - $.38 down from $.79 (I got 3 of these)
Mossimo tank top - $5 on sale this week; I used a $3 off any Mossimo woman's apparel coupon


There are several great apparel coupons that could make on-sale or clearance items super duper cheap!

Did you get any great Target clearance stuff this week?

The Target Store Trap: Crazy Clearance!

Target is a trap. The lure of the big red % off signs that demarcate clearance makes me lose my sense of direction. Regardless of what I'm in Target looking for, I always end up searching through the shelves with the big red clearance signs. It's truly a trap; a way for you to spend your budget on junk that more often than not you don't really need but can't pass up simply because it's a great deal.

I mentioned on CMM's facebook page that I found some great 70% off clearance on summery Pillsbury products, especially their pink lemonade flavored items. I got a few cartons of their pink lemonade frosting for $.51 each and some cake mixes for $.37 each. I thought I got a heck of a deal.

Then I made a play date with my sister, Pooh*, to search high and low for our brother's 18th birthday gift. Of course, as my husband predicted, we ended up at Target, but in a different town than the one I had previously visited.

We happened across an end cap with lots of Pillsbury products, mostly their cake mixes which were "on sale" for $1.25/box (that is downright highway robbery if you ask me). Above the cake mixes were the pink lemonade products I had seen at the other store, so I figured I'd scan 'em since the advertising signs made it appear they were also part of the $1.25 "sale." The frostings rang up at $.17.... after lifting my jaw off the floor, my sister scanned the frosting again just to make sure we weren't reading it wrong. No, they really were $.17 each. So then we saw the Fourth Of July themed frostings... which really were vanilla frosting with red, white and blue sprinkles in an attached container. In other words, toss the sprinkles if need be and use the frosting like you'd normally. These scanned at $.15 each! Holy toledo!

So we bought a lot. A lot a lot. We plan on passing it out amongst family members so they don't have to pay full price either. Whatever we won't use, we'll donate. We also found pink lemonade cookies for $.17/ea and 1 box of funfetti Fourth of July for $.14 (I think, I can't recall).

For all the Pillsbury stuff you see above, we spend $4.78. And we didn't use a single coupon!

But man, Target is SUCH A TRAP! We weren't planning on buying anything except gifts for our brother... But I guess now we can bake him some very inexpensive cake!
*My sister's name isn't really Pooh, it's actually Nicole. But my mom nicknamed her Pooh Bear when she was a baby.... I tend to call her Pooh more than Nicole, especially when I want to embarass her in public :-)

Diary of a Wimpy Kid series 40% off: Target!

I'm not typically fond of Target's Daily Deals, however, today there was something that piqued my interest.

Have you read any of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series? Oh. My. God. They are so incredibly entertaining! Yes, I know I'm a grown woman and no, I don't really need pictures in my books, however, these books are written for the kid and kid at heart. They have that child-like stupid humor that keeps me light-hearted.

I love this series so much that I always recommend my high school students give these books a try. While the books are written at around a high-elementary school reading level, they are high interest for people reading above a 5th grade reading level.

When I was student teaching in East Providence, RI, one of my students gave me his copy of the first Diary of a Wimpky Kid book. He said it was his favorite book so he wanted me to have it. I've been obsessed with the series ever since!

So today only you can get the Diary of a Wimpky Kid series for 40% off! Down from $70, you'll pay only $39.99 with no shipping! But this offer is only good for today, Sunday February 12th. So hurry!!

Why Shop Early for Birthdays and Holidays?

You know what REALLY bothers me? When my husband mysteriously goes AWOL for hours the day before any gift-giving occasion, then days later I stumble across a crumpled up receipt in the console of his car dated the day before whatever gift-giving occasion has just passed. Birthdays and most gift-giving holidays fall on the same day each year. My birthday is February 15; it doesn't change from year to year. It always falls on the day following Valentine's Day (just another reason my husband should NEVER forget my birthday!). The same goes for Christmas - December 25. So you know for 364 days that Christmas will arrive come the 25th of December.

So why on earth does my husband, like many other people, wait 'til the gosh-darn last minute to shop for these occasions?! And of course, for major holidays like Christmas, NOTHING is on sale so that retailers can cash in on those procrastinators like my husband.

So instead of waiting until the very last second to run out to the stores and buy your gifts, start "stockpiling" what you know would be a good fit, gift-wise, for your family and friends.

Target, along with many other retailers, is currently hosting their crazy after-Christmas clearance. Today Target had all of their holiday-related merchandise marked down to 90% off! You pay only 10% of the normal retail! I stocked up on tons of wrapping paper - 90 square feet - for only a quarter! I also picked up a few odds and ends that would make part of a great gift for some of my family.

For instance, I found these really cute Wilton tart pans for only $1.09 that I plan on giving to my sister who loves to bake for her birthday in November. She actually made my wedding cake and all of the cupcakes our guests ate - she's very talented!

I also found a really cute bath-set with a Disney Princess theme for my niece's birthday that's coming up in February. I paid half-price for it and I know she'll love it because she's obsessed with Arial the mermaid.

So while I stocked up on stuff for my own house for next Christmas, I also got a load of goodies to give to others throughout the year, and I paid only a fraction of what I would have had I waited 'til the last minute, like my gosh-darn husband!

Now let's see if I find a receipt dated February 14th for my birthday card... hehe

Victory Over Target (and a little Walmart on the side)

Since today is the last day of the month and many of my coupons were expiring, particularly the P&G coupons, I felt it was a necessity to go to Target to us up all the coupons that could buy me "free" stuff....

6 Nivea for Men body washes - $2.99 ea on sale
5 Tide (travel size) - $.97 ea
6 Olay bar soap (travel soap) - $.97 ea
UP baby wipes (88 count) - $1.89

- 3 Nivea coupons x 6
- $1 Tide coupons x 5
-$1 Olay coupons x 6

Total with tax: $1.59
:-)
**In addition, my mom got 5 cans of Good Life cat food for better than free ($.77 ea - $1 coupon ea), in addition to 5 more Nivea Men's body wash for free with coupons.


So since I was in the area, I decided to stop in at Walmart, hoping to catch some of the $1 oatmeal packets for free, but they didn't have any, so instead. Here's what I did get:

1 travel Pert Plus - $.97
3 travel Sensodyne Pronamel toothpaste - $.97 ea
6 Meow Mix market place cat foods - $.42 ea on sale

- $1 Pert (she changed it to $.97)
-$1 Sensodyne x 3 (she changed it to $.97)
