Black Dot Deals

I can only take so much football so I escaped tonight to check out clearance deals at Target.

I hit the jackpot!

You know the dollar section at the front? There was a sign announcing 75% off black dot items. Even a poor math scholar like me can calculate that: $.25!

There wasn't much I needed personally (a couple of pens, some stickers, a couple of gifts for my favorite niece); but I racked up on shoebox items for Operation Christmas Child (I keep plastic boxes on hand to fill throughout the year as I stumble upon deals). Here's what I got:

For two boy boxes:
  • (2) set of two card games - Go Fish and Crazy Eights
  • (2) wood ambulance
  • (2) metal ball puzzles
  • (2) wood tic-tac-toe game
For two girl boxes:
  • (2) set of two card games - Matching and Old Maid
  • (2) reusable Hello Kitty shopping bag
  • (2) wood tic-tac-toe game
  • (2) set of 4 Hello Kitty hair clips
  • (2) Hello Kitty headbands and pony tail holders
  • (2) mini Hello Kitty picture frame
Grand Total: $5.00
Definitely don't discount the possibilities of clearance items, especially holiday discounts. I found a bunch of CARS stuff in the Christmas section at Wal-mart for 75% off, thus inspiring the party for Andrew's 5th birthday.
