Clearance toys

On Thursday morning, I went to Target to use my Chex cereal coupons. Chex cereal was no longer on sale, boo. But I did get 3 18oz quick oats for 1.74, I used 3 $1/1 manufacturer coupons and 2 $1/1 target coupons making my total $0.16 for 3! Anyway while I was in the checkstand a customer behind me had two baskets of toys. She says clearance toys are 75% off. I can't pass that up so I head back. This is what I found for my upcoming birthday boys.

Starwars game (the kind that plug right into tv) $7.48
Toy Stoy disc shooter with target game $3.77
Kung Zhu pet camand center $3.77
Kung Zhu pet hamster wheel $3.77
Kung Zhu pet connecter $2.73
Texters $3.74
Dragon $3.62
Play laptop $5.00
sparkle water ball $1.74 (this is for my ball obsessed toddler)
Total was $33.23 including my 5% discount with Target debit card
I was feeling really good about the 5 (soon to be 6) year olds birthday, but didn't have wow stuff for soon to be 9 year old. Target did not have their Legos 75% off. So I headed to Wal-Mart. I still needed to use my Chex Cereal coupons and I knew they were only $2 at Wal-Mart. With my coupon they were only $1.50, so I stocked up. While I was in the checkstand, the Cashier told me about the 75% off toy sale they were having, so I headed over. This is what I found at Wal-Mart.

Paper jams drum set with amplifier $14.50
Lego Atlantis set $8.60
Lego Star Wars battle cruiser for $10
Lego Toy story Buzz Lightyear $1.50
Lego Toy Story Zurg $1.50
Kung Zhu pet $4
Yard horse shoe set $5
Lego watches $1.80
Total $48.39
My kids birthdays are covered. With sales like this you have to hit it just right and I was just lucky to happen to be shopping with the sale hit.
