Target 70% Easter Clearance Finds

So S and I ventured out today to check out the Target Easter clearance.  There wasn’t anything that I really needed so I was very selective in what I bought.  I knew I was only going to my Target that I always shop at so I would get any Legos I found and a few things I wanted to round out some birthday gifts.  I spent $20.50, but $5 of that was for scrunchies that were not part of the Easter clearance.  I know who buys scrunchies anymore?  I needed them to hold my hair up when I am sleeping, not to wear in public.

• I was able to find the Legos up front at the registers, even the Lego Friends.  I have no shame walking through each register to try to find them.  Just a hint when you are looking up at the registers the holiday bags for Legos and Lego Friends are slightly bigger then the regular Legos up a the registers.  I got the Lego Creator for $.98 and the Lego Friends for $1.49 each.  When I find them at 70% I get them because it is hard enough to find them at 70% let alone 90%.  Those that find a ton at 90% are the luckiest ever.  The Legos are going to work out great for stocking stuffers as S gets older.

• I know I still can’t believe that I bought scrunchies either.  I used to have buckets of them and got rid of them all except for a few.  Those are so stretched out now I can wear them for headbands.  I cannot sleep with hair in my face and regular elastic bands tend to cause breakage in my hair.  So now to the price, I paid $4.48 for the set, but will continue to watch and see if they go cheaper.  I only got one pack of chapstick because my store still had a ton.  This is a new flavor so I am not sure if I am going to like it and did not want to over buy.  It is pomegranate punch and was only $1.19 for the pack.

• B has been asking me to watch clearances for little dart guns to play with, so I have been keeping my eye on them.  I got one for him and his friend that have suction cups and could only find one of the Cars guns with Nerf darts.  I am going to keep my eyes peeled when I hit up the other stores in a few days.  Each gun was only $1.50 each.  I would love to get these for goodie bags for S when he goes to school, but I don’t think guns would be very appropriate.  Someone correct me if I am wrong.

• S loves gel clings and there were a ton of Easter ones left.  I told him we could get one Spring one for now and when they go cheaper I will buy him more.  This cling was only $.60.

• I was able to find one wooden puzzle that everyone has been talking about and it ended up only being $1.50.  How perfect for the new baby or for a gift.  I could not find anymore puzzles and believe me I looked.  I got one Doc McStuffin bag to complete a birthday gift I have and one Sofia the First purse to finish another gift.  Each purse was only $1.49.  There were a ton more in the regular toy aisles, but I got what I needed and can get more of them if they are still there at 90%.

• I was looking at the dollar spot hoping to find some good deals, sadly it was still 50% off.  I did get two pairs of tights for the new baby since they were only 50% and only cost $.50.  I know am going to hate having to buy tights at full price to only wear them once, so I mine as well start getting them cheap when I can.

Not a bad little haul.  I could have gotten so much more but really refrained from getting anything.  I found the single EOS lip balm in our store but they were ringing up $2.34.   I found some bubble buckets in the regular aisle that had bunnies, chicks, and flowers all over it.  I thought for sure it would have been part of the Easter clearance but surprisingly enough they weren’t.  There wasn’t any hidden clearance this time around that I could find that was not Easter and just put back in the regular aisles.  I did find Minnie Mouse dress up jewelry in the regular aisles instead of over with the Easter clearance.  I am going to keep checking all the blogs and see if anyone finds any good hidden clearance.  I am hoping I will be able to snag quite a bit when it all goes 90%.  I am thinking Sunday morning.  I will be getting up super early because we are celebrating Easter at my moms at 11am so I need to be done by then.
