If you are near a Target store this weekend, you might pop over to the Summer section and see if you score clearance sales. My store is at 50% off and there was still a lot to choose from.
So those happy buckets pictured at the bottom in bright pink? I love those for all the outdoor pool toys but also I just pinned this genius idea from Place of My Taste to hang them up on the garage wall:
(You can see the post here from Place of My Taste with more organizing ideas)
We are cleaning out the garage this weekend and I already have (2) Target buckets set aside to contain all the sports equipment. I am so excited about this idea because we have boxes and bins and tubs all over the place and this is a great way to maximize space.
Also this will vary tremendously from store to store but my local store hit 70% off outdoor items. I was so excited to find these awesome rocking chairs for $77 today! My husband and I were looking at them and the original price was $250! We considered them at 50% off but it was still just a little more then we wanted to spend. So anyhoo- I was really thrilled to find (2) of them today for $77.
(Funny story- the guys were loading these up on a flatbed to bring up for me and some random guy and his wife told the Target employee the chairs were his. He tried to sneak over to a register and steal them out from under me! #NotHavingItSir. Sometimes you have to throw some elbows when you are a bargain shopper. So lesson learned- bring your shinguards and helmet if you plan to shop the clearance sales this weekend.)
Last but not least- the Dollar Spot has cute new stuff.
I got some cute new Dr Seuss things- bag and pencils and stickers. The napkins I love for my girl’s lunchboxes and those were just a buck in the summer clearance.
The Dollar Spot also has some classic children’s books for just a buck! Cheaper then late fees at the library! I saw a Secret Garden, Treasure Island, Doctor Doolittle and more.
Happy Shopping! Come back and let me know if you score at Target this weekend- I’d love to hear what you find!

The nerve of that guy, trying to take your chairs! Does his wife steal people’s canopies at beaches, too?

LOL! I bet they steal silverware in restaurants and towels at hotels Annye 😀

My store had a lot of toys on clearance for 50% off when I was there today.

Two years ago, I sent my dad to pick up a gazebo on clearance at Target. He paid for it, and he was waiting for the employee to bring it around to the front. The cashier had freaked out when she saw that it was on clearance for 90% off. There were 2 boxes left, and he told the garden center guy which one to load up (one was opened and looked like it had parts taken out). Long story short, he waited, waited, waited. He saw his cashier fly by him, and saw the garden center guy loading the good box onto her truck!!!! My dad went over and told him that was HIS box, and he went to get the mgr. Do you know the mgr fussed at him and told him employees could buy whatever they want when they’re on break!! He said, “Well, THAT box was mine! I bought it first!” The mgr absolutely would not budge, and he took home the opened box. It was totally missing pieces, but it was so big, I couldn’t take it back!!! I even called corporate twice, but they basically told me both times that employees could do whatever they wanted!! Is that a crock or what??? They really burned me on that one!

I got the matching rainbow pitcher to the napkins! I was going to get the napkins but decided I didn’t need them!

I homeschool and I found some excellent learning materials in the dollar spot this weekend! I found letter and number workbooks, US states and presidents workbooks, alphabet flashcards and a poster. Cheap curriculum!

Awesome Melissa!
