Back to School Clearance

Now is the time to keep your eyes open for back to school clearance. Don't have kids in school? Neither do I! But markers, crayons, paints, paper, stickers are things my toddler (and the rest of my older crew) love to use and abuse. So getting these things on the cheap is just the thing.

Last time I was at Target, which wasn't super recently so prices may now be lower, school supplies were at 50% (which was awhile ago so they maybe down to 75% off now). Prices do go down to 90% off if you aren't in need of something and just getting things for saving or presents or such.

But Target isn't the only place to look. Have you thought of looking at your grocery store for clearance?

Grocery stores often have seasonal sections and like all other stores they clearance what they don't sell.

Today I was able to get two tin boxes, one Abby Cadabby and one Disney Princess, for just $1.74 each at my grocery store. These are great for storing little toys in or crayons or anything small that often gets thrown around and misplaced. They did have a few other things but nothing I was interested in. Clearance is everywhere and they make great Xmas presents because only your wallet notices the difference!

Are You Shopping for Next Summer Yet? You Should Be!

Okay so I wasn't going to write a post about this but after my shopping trip with the kids today. I just can't help it.

First off imagine me in a store with 3 kids.....a 2 year old, 11 month old, and 5 month old. One is half walking, half being carried, half riding on the cart, one is sitting in the front of the buggy and one is in his car seat in the back of the buggy. Let me tell you that is how most of my shopping trips look (and I often wonder why people give me dirty looks, I guess I shouldn't, ha ha ha!).

Anyways I'm telling you that because if I can find these deals, so can you!

Summer clothes are on clearance everywhere! Last week mom and I hit up the outlets and found lots of deals for the kids next year. Children's place had racks upon racks of $1.99 stuff. Old Navy, Carters, OshKosh - all had loads of clearance.

Ok - focus - TODAY I was at Walmart to get Beechnut cereal for C Man. I don't often shop at Walmart but they carry Beechnut and not many places do and I had a coupon and they also carry these Elmo bathtub color changing tabs and again I had a coupon making them free. So Walmart it was.

Well I can't help to go in a store andnot look at their clearance. And I was so excited to find Carter's summer jumpers for little boys (they may have had little girls too but I don't have a baby girl anymore) for just $1!! $1 - Carter's brand jumper - and they were cute! So of course I bought 3 for next summer. They didn't have much in M girl's size but I wasn't exactly scouring the racks either with my group in tow. They did have TONS of Carter's pjs on sale both girls and boys for $3. But I'm cheap and since they had so many I'm hoping they bring the price down. Ha ha ha! I think $3 is a great price but $2 or $1 would be better.

Yes I am that crazy! I'll admit it! :)

Find any great deals on next year's summer clothes? Where at - please share!
