Because we had some time to kill before picking up my high schooler today, we stopped by Target to check out their 70% Off Toy Clearance. While it was seriously picked over, and the shelves at this particular Target were almost bare, what we did find I'm REALLY pleased with!
- Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar - $19.99 (was $39.99). While this was only 50% off, the boys seriously enjoyed their first Lego Advent Calendar this past Christmas and it was a HUGE hit. Every morning it was a race to the Advent Calendar to see what surprise was in store for them. I figured this was money well spent and I'll just be pleasantly surprised when I open up my Christmas decorations next year and remember that I got this!
- Sega Genesis Sonic Plug 'N Play Game - $5.98 (was $19.99). This is for the birthday closet. Next time somebody comes home with a boy's birthday party invitation, we're all set! It will look like we bought a really nice gift (which we did), but it only cost me $6!
- Pokemon Unova Region Playset - this was on AJ's Christmas Wish List, and I could not bring myself to pay $50 for this. When he spotted it for $14.95, I thought he was going to cry. Seriously. It just so happens that he had exactly $15 left over from his birthday/Christmas money. He and Zach are currently in the living room working like a team to put it together. This was his purchase, not mine. HUGE SCORE!
- Gomu Eraser Sets - I didn't get a shot of these, 'cuz the boys have already torn into them (they didn't even make it inside the house intact!). They had sets of three for $0.88 (normally $2.99) and sets of 6 for $1.48 (normally $4.99). They had a big selection of all these. These make nice "fillers" for birthday presents (or Valentine's Day!!!), but my Birthday Closet is pretty well stocked.
