Planning Ahead at Target

Today is Columbus Day and the kids are off from school. What to do with the kids? I arranged for a playdate for the kids with their best friends from school. But, 2 boys at home with my kids can get pretty hairy too. Luckily, at McDonalds, the Happy Meal toy was Bakugan so we went to McDonalds for lunch and spent about 2 hours there. Then, after they got home, I had these "pumpkin leaf bags" from Target that I bought last year for about $.05 (that's right...clearance) and now the are all busy filling up these giant pumpkin bags for me. Great! They are busy and soon I will have Halloween decorations for this year.

Trick is to visit Target about the week of Halloween and clear out the Halloween section. This can be applied to any holiday seaons (Christmas, Valentine's Day, Easter, etc). Most of the stuff will be about 75%-90% off. As long as you have a good system to remember where everything is, it doesn't hurt to stock up.
