Target 75% Clearance

TARGET 75% OFF CLEARANCE

Well I broke down and hit the 75% clearance sales and did not do to shabby (though my credit card may not agree).   Below are pictures of most of the items purchased (some of the duplicates are not shown as I only had so much room on my counter.  I bought all of this for under $200.  I now have a huge dent in my Christmas (yes, I am already planning for Christmas) and Birthday shopping. 

I really need to be better next week!

Target 75% Clearance

I am on the Target Toys 75% clearance hunt. What about you?

Ok - so I said I was going to be good this week and I am trying very hard. I have made great progress with bringing my food to work. However, I can't resist 75% off!

I went today to see if the Target by work had marked their toys down yet, but no luck. Since I left work for an early lunch to check, I figured I would see if I could find anything else on sale. I found a pile of girls shirts marked to $1.74. And as luck would have it there were the right size for my daughter for next year. I also found a really cute leotard for just over $8.00 (it was such a hit, she wanted to sleep in it tonight and was disappointed that I wanted to wash it before gymnastics tomorrow).

So I am still on the hunt and I hope you are having better luck than I am. On the other hand - I am very happy with the shirts and my daughter is beyond thrilled with the leotard!

Time to Tighten the Finance Belt and get Frugal

As I sit here on my computer working on coupons (ie: procrastinating by reading frugal blogs) my wonderful husband is inputting all of our December Christmas damage into Quicken. Oh dear. It seems 2010 will be the year of tightening the belts - both financially and literally.

I am going to spend the next few days figuring out a game plan for each and will post them as I get something together. That way I will be held accountable. It seems I enjoyed buying the Christmas gifts so much I could not stop. Kind of like when I have a bag of chips......

So even though I am drooling over the rumors that Target has gone to 75% markdowns on Christmas and some toys, I have to admit there is nothing we need. So I will be leaving my wallet at home tomorrow when I go to work. I do not want to tempt a lunch time run!!!

Stay tuned as I will be posting my frugal diet and my normal diet plans to try and stay accountable to them!!!
