We hit the after Christmas sale at Wal-mart..got a few yard decorations
I have tried for that buck on half price for the last 3 years...this time I got him..well actually Dustin got him...he ran up in front of me & grabbed the only one off the shelf...lol...tied him up like a roped calf & BAM in the basket he went! So now I have a family set of deer for my yard...even tho the mama doe broke but hubb has promised to fix her(a weld came loose) I also got some bubble bath, lotion, things like that to last all year and a few other things like manacure kits(we are ALWAYS looking for a pair of tweezers or nail clippers around this house)..things that we would buy at a much higher price during the year so I see it as saving me later on. As we were shopping I noticed a few things..
you know those decorative popcorn cans with carmel, cheese & buttered popcorn in them for $5..well we ALWAYS buy a couple of those after christmas every year & we were there on Dec. 24 they had lots of them....either everyone bought them all or wally hid them in the back from us....my kids were dissapointed...they wanted the popcorn..and they wanted the cans to hold stuff in when the popcorn was all gone...oh well no popcorn. Hubby was dissapointed because they didn't have the usual tools & knives & such ...I was dissappointed because they didn't have puzzles...I was looking forward to a couple of new half price puzzles...oh well....all told everything I bought was half price..and everything(except the 3 yard decorations & the tools) was stuff we would have bought thoughout the year .......and I shopped VERY frugally so I did get LOTS of stuff. no wrapping paper, no boxes, no ornaments, bags..none of that I have plenty to do us...no need in storing anymore of it and I save boxes\bags every year..so I think I did good....I spent $84...on things that would have cost $162...not bad
