Merry Christmas!

After spending my Saturday visiting several Target stores in my area, I have made a corporate decision.

 

From here on out, my children will be celebrating all major holiday’s one week after the calendar date.

 

My children cannot even read, how will they know that Christmas should be celebrated on December 25th? It will be celebrated on January 2nd around these parts now.

 

Why?

 

Because 75% clearance is the BOMB!

 

I spent a little over $50 at Target yesterday and filled the trunk of my car to the brim. I have enough peeps to carry me until NEXT Easter, adorable outfits for my daughter, next year’s baskets, Kelly Barbie Dolls, dye kits for next year, socks, hair ties, and more pastel colored M&M’s than I can eat.  (Although I am going to try!)

 

It amazes me how on April 7th, a pair of Capri pants in pastel colors were $9.99, but on April 13th, they were $2.50.

 

After Christmas this year, I bought enough wrapping paper to wrap gifts for my great-grandchildren, and plenty of ornaments to decorate next year’s Hannukah bush.

 

If you are not an after holiday clearance shopper, you should be.

 

A little foresight and proper planning, and your holiday budget can be drastically reduced. All you must do is get a year ahead.

 

Shop after THIS year’s holiday’s for NEXT year!

 

After Christmas 2006, I purchased new lights for my house, 10 boxes of Candy canes and a Santa that blows bubbles out of his butt. Total price? $4!

 

All holiday related toys are usually on clearance too, so gathering up a bounty for next year will save you bucks too!

 

I bought enough toys at Target to fill Easter baskets for next year AND the year after.

 

When it’s time for the actual holiday to come, I am going to be all set. Of course, the neighborhood kids will refer me to me as the lady who gives out stale candy at Halloween, but I am now a converted after holiday clearance shopper!

 

Target should be marking all the Easter stuff to 90% off on Monday- the only thing better than a .24 box of peeps is a .10 box of peeps!

 

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Until we meet again,
