I really thought I was good with going to just the two stores on Thursday. I kept checking inventory levels and my curiosity got the better of me and I ventured out to the two other stores. I ended up getting way more than I had planned but love everything I got. I did get the two items I really wanted. What are they? You are going to have to read this post and Round 4 to find out. I went to the Target on Monroe St. first and ended up spending $118.82. Now I did get more lights for my Griswold neighbor so I really ended up spending $96.90. I have to return a few of the extra stockings so in the end I spent just under $90.
- I love the metal sign I found that lights up. It was only $12. You usually can’t find a small metal sign for $12 let alone a sign as big as this! I found another Tree Dazzler! It was $11.99 and I think two is going to be perfect to add to our tree. S is going to love the light show. I got 6 boxes of light for my neighbor and they were $3.59 a box. I got a box of dew drop lights for $2.69 that I already returned because I did not realize they were battery powered. I found 4 little stockings to spell out our last name and they were only $.90 each. I really wanted to spell out our last name in big stockings but could not find a T so I bought what ever colors they had in the letters I could find hoping I would find a T. I bought 5 large stockings at $3.90 each. I am returning the red H and white R.
- I found three outfits for P. The Grinch jammies were a size 6 and only $5.06. It will be a few years before she can wear them! The snowflake outfit was only $2.87 and again she will have to wait a few years to wear this. The t-shirt was only $1.91.
- I found this milk jug holder and am not sure what I am going to do with it, but I really like it and it was only $1.50. The popcorn bowl was a hit with the kids. They love to eat popcorn and the bowl was only $1.50. I got a new set of sheets for my bed and they were 50% off at $13.48. We used to get a new set every Christmas but haven’t for a few years and ours are starting to show.
- I found some Kinetic Foam for $1.49 each. S will love playing with this stuff and I think P will get a kick out of it. I found the Hot Wheels cars for $1.34, the 3 Shopkins for $.89 and the rocks for $1.50. I am going to save the rocks for Easter and have S hunt for them outside. The rock is cracked open to see if there is a treasure inside. S is always hunting for gold outside and hopes he is going to find some in the rocks.
The savings on the bottoms of the receipt show I saved $239.08. Amazing!
