Black Friday Shoppers: eat your heart out!

Total spent for everything pictured above: $59. (And $5 of that was sales tax, people!)

How much did I save? Well, shoot…I already packed away the toys in my closet and I’m too lazy to go fish it all out again. I’m sure you understand. Suffice it to say everything was 75% (except the crayons which were a quarter each). So, that’s about $240+ worth of toys, baby!

Not bad, not bad. Would you believe I actually COMPLETED Christmas shopping for my daughter on this trip (as well as a couple neices and nephews)? It took less than an hour. And I’ll probably finish up my son’s gifts for $0.00 out of pocket thanks to the Amazon credit I’ve racked up using Swagbucks. SCORE! And SCORE!

So while others will wake at the crack of dawn the Day After Thanksgiving, I’ll be taking a Day After Thanksgiving Nap! HA! You just think of that as you line up outside your big-box retailer of choice at 3 am!

I scored yesterday too! I spent $68 (with sales tax) and bought 2 VTech computers, 1 Computer School computer (can’t remember the brand Fisher Price?), a NiHao game to go with the Computer School, 3 NiHao KaiLan phones, 1 of the NiHao lego sets you have, 2 GI Joes, 2 Tins of card games, a 3-in-1 game set (chinese checkers, checkers, chess), a building set (can’t remember the brand), and a dolphin bath toy. I also rocked some of the coupon sales and got 2 Clean and Clear facescrubs for FREE, 2 bags of pretzels for $0.29 each, and 2 packages of Juicy Juice boxes for $0.50 each. I <3 TARGET!!!!! I think I might go to another Target today to see what else is around! Christmas and birthday shopping may soon be done for the ENTIRE family-cousins included!

I did great too but man it went fast! There were so many people at our Target yesterday I’m sure it is all gone today. I got over a $100 worth of toys for $28.98 plus tax! All of our nieces and nephews are done! What a great feeling. Thanks for keeping us posted on these great deals.

I did pretty good too although now that mine are getting a little older it is getting harder to find the deals on the toys. Most of the toys I found were for preschool age. But I did get a good start to my Christmas shopping and a couple items to put back for the gift closet.

Im new at all this , and all I can say is wow if I could get all those toys for practically nothing wow that would be awesome.I’ve been married for 1 year and last Christmas was ridiculus with all the siblings , neices and nephews I have. You guys are awesome! So Im guessing Target is the best place to find these deals?

I am not loyal to any one store. Target has these unadvertised toy clearance sales once in July and another one (I think?) in February. Make sure to subscribe to my blog – I find hot deals all the time! I’ll be sharing more for sure as we approach the holidays. I will say – I’m a HUGE Amazon fan!! After spending hours scouring Black Friday ads last year, Amazon clearly outdid them all. ;)
