Time for Christmas Clearance! Target is the only place I have checked out so far. They are down to 70% off. There wasn't much left today, but I picked up some stuff...ribbon, gift tags, gift bags, wrapping paper. One thing I realized this year while I was wrapping our Christmas gifts is how much more wrapping paper you go through when you have a kid, so I was happy to find a few big rolls for under $1 (Spongebob and Thomas, yay!). I also picked up a few packs of Hot Wheels from the "stocking stuffer" section, which makes them Christmas clearance instead of toy clearance. I got the 5 packs, which are usually $5, for $1.50. I have a couple nephews who will like these cars for next Christmas, and I assume Hot Wheels are one of those toys that stay "in" so I can put some away for when Pookie gets old enough to play with them. Having a toy/gift stash in my closet makes me happy!

Target is also starting their toy clearance. Right now toys are 30% and 50% off, but I am waiting for them to go 75% off, which should be in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully they have some good stuff left by then. I did pick up a couple of toys already. Last week I got a Step 2 shopping cart that was 50% off (down to $13.50). I have decided to use it as Pookie's Easter baset this year. I am excited about how cute that will be. I also bought a Radio Flyer tricycle. Sugar Daddy and I had looked at some and picked one out that we wanted to get for Pookie's second birthday. Target had the tricycle we wanted to get for $33 (down from $48). Since they only had 2 left I decided to go ahead and buy it. I think it will end up being for Easter as well so he will be able to ride it during the summer.

I haven't been keeping up with my coupons and bargains very well lately, but I plan on getting back into it. I need to spend time this week organizing my coupons. Hopefully I will get back on top of things and start keeping up with the writing so my fans can stop hounding me. ;-)
