January=shopping! :-)

Posted by Alyssa

I love January and August. Why you might ask? Because this is when the best end of the season sales are! I always have to remind Mike at the beginning of the month that this is what I do: I buy in bulk for the next year when I get stuff for 75% off-just to give him a heads up! So, first off, here is my Old Navy trip. This last weekend they had their clearance an extra 50% off. I didn't realize this until the end of the day, so by the time I finally went it was pretty picked over. BUT I did find some awesome deals for CHEAP! Plus I had an extra 20% off coupon on top of the extra 50% off clearance. Here's what I got:
1 t-shirt for Mike for work $0.80
1 long sleeve shirt for me $1.22
5 puff sleeve t-shirts for me $1.22
2 pairs denim jeans for Connor for next winter $9.00 each (this was my splurge but this was the last of what he needed for next year's clothes)
2 pairs of Christmas PJ's for next year $1.62 each
1 pair shoes for Jake $0.80
1 long sleeve shirt for Jake $1.22
2 pairs sweats for the boys for stay in days $1.41 each
5 pairs triple roll socks for Connor (not pictured because they're already used!) $0.80 each
I also wanted to let you guys know that not only do I stock up on clothes at the end of the season but also toys! Last week Target had a lot of their toys marked down to 75% off (you have to get their right when they open to get the best selection). So, I'm set on toys for the boys' birthdays, some of Christmas, and presents for family and friends' birthdays. I don't have a picture of all the things I got because I had to hide them before Connor saw anything. I saved a total of $422!

So I just wanted to give you guys a heads up to keep your eyes out for great end of the season sales! I know Children's Place will be having their huge sale (I might have already missed it) and keep an eye on clearance! Good luck saving and shopping! :-)
