Target Trip!

I did head on over to check the Target toy clearance this morning. I went to my normal store at about 9.30 and it was wiped out already. I decided to check one other store because my little girl’s birthday is just 2 weeks away and got lucky that they had tons and tons of toys that jumped from 30% off to 75% off today.

I scored toys for birthday parties, for my little ladies, for Christmas gifts and a few things for donation during the holidays. There was a lot available at the store I went to so hopefully some of you have great luck too!

  • Step 2 Motorcycle $6.24 (for donation)
  • Fur Real Frenzies Scoot and Scurry City $7.74 (for my birthday girl)
  • Olivia Dress Up Box $4.98 (birthday party gift)
  • Dora Flower Girl Doll $4.98 (birthday party gift)
  • Princess Wand $1.24
  • Chuck the Truck DVD and toy $2.48 (Christmas gift)
  • Circo Laptop $4.25 (donation)
  • Timmy Time play camera $6.98
  • Thomas the Train 3pk $2.74
  • Barbie Dress Up Skirt $4.24 (for the birthday girl)
  • Lego set $13.98 (Christmas gift)
  • Chuggington Car set with case $4.24
  • Strawberry Shortcake $5.00 (for donation)

Whew! So about $70 for all that but I am all set for any little birthday parties we get invited too and I got my little girl’s gifts, plus Christmas presents for my nephew and a few things left to donate.  Yeah!

    Can I ask what stores you went to? I haven’t been out of the house yet today. I think I am gonna go check out the Sunrise store. Hopefully it’s not picked over yet!!!

    Tiffany- I found Fairway to be totally empty first thing and then Douglas was a goldmine. I was there about 10.30 and there was tons of stuff but it might be gone now. I can’t say about any other stores.

    I went this morning and got 2 carts full of toys. Spent a good amount, $166, but im covered for the ton of birthday parties we go to and the kids christmas. This is the only time of yr i actually buy toys. My theory is, id rather send $5 now then $20 later.

    I had so much fun today at Target. I went to 2 diff stores and spent about $100 on toys for boys and nieces for Christmas. Retail would have been about $400. I was surprised there was still a lot there this morning and not many people. Super excited!

    I too bought a timmy time camera for $2.48 today. I also got a silly sounds giggle remote (elmo) for $2.98. Do all stores clearance on thursday mornings? The three by my house do, but If i remember correctly I thought by pattern a different one was on Sunday mornings, thats a bit further from me. I may be wrong?
