Yes, you heard right…Christmas shopping! I stumbled upon some clearance goods at Target and (of all places) Winn-Dixie last week. Some of it is for upcoming birthday’s too. And there are even a few items for Operation Christmas Child. Here’s what I racked up and why:
Starting at the top left corner –
Fisher Price toy clearanced at Target for $11.05 (for my nephew’s upcoming first birthday)
Polly Pockets $5.79 each, used $5/2 Polly Pocket Item printable coupon and paid just $6.58 for both. Setting aside for some of the nieces for Christmas.
Moon Dough packets $1.32 each on clearance. I got two to put back for Bug’s stocking and two to use in OCC donation boxes.
The rest of the items came from Winn-Dixie’s Bargain Book Bin. I usually glance at this every time I go past it, but at $3-$6 the books aren’t quite a “bargain” for me. But last week, all the bargain bin books were HALF OFF. So I dug through that bin like a madwoman, I tell you.
Here’s what I surfaced with (working clockwise from top right corner):
FOUR various Disney princess books including on that is a board book shaped like a carriage with working wheels, a princess puzzle book, and a Tangled book that contains a light-up hair clip. $8 for all 4.
TWO Ballerina Trinket boxes with charm bracelet and charms. One is going in OCC donations and one is going in gift closet. $3 for both.
THREE Disney Sticker Books – Two Tinkerbell and one Cars. Cars one is going up for Bug birthday/Christmas and the Tinkerbell ones are going in the gift closet. $4.50 for all 3.
TWO Shuffle Stories card sets. One is going to OCC and one is going to the gift closet. $3.00 for both.
THREE Various books – Curious George, So Many Days and a Tinkerbell chapter book. Setting aside chapter book for my oldest niece’s birthday. Other two for Bug or gift closet. $5 for all three.
TWO Disney Picture Puzzle books – One for Bug birthday/Christmas and one for gift closet. $6.00 for both.
My total was $29.50. Tossed in a candy bar at checkout so I could use a $5/$30 Winn-Dixie coupon. Total for 16 items was $24.50 or just $1.54 per item.
