Super Savings Saturday: After Christmas Finds

I went to Target on New Year’s Eve after reading on a couple of blogs that some stores had marked their Christmas stuff down to 75% off.  And they were right.  Almost all of the Christmas stuff was down to 75% off, and our local Target had a ton of stuff left.  There were lots of things that we didn’t need like lights, wreaths, ornaments, etc….but I was able to get the following things that we could use for next year extra cheap:

Air Blown Snoopy $7.49 (reg. 29.99) (My kids adore seeing these at Christmastime.  We had our first air blown guy this year which we picked up from last year’s mark downs.  He died once and needed to be rececitated, and would rarely stand up straight so we decided not to keep him for next year.  I’m hoping Snoopy will last longer than our last one!)

Christmas cards $1.74 (reg. 6.99)

Light Clips $0.99 (reg. 3.99)

Gutter Clips $1.24 (reg. 4.99)

Tinsel $0.75 (reg. $3.00)

Green Round Metal bins $0.62 (reg. $2.50) (I found these in the “dollar section”, and I was thrilled!  I’m not sure that they actually belonged in the “dollar section” because they seemed out of place, but there were only four and I bought all four.  They’re sturdy and perfect holding similar toys or toy sets.  For example, we are using one to hold Legos and another to hold a bunch of small balls.  It took me about 3-4 days to complete, but I destroyed the kids’ bedroom and went through just about every toy in there.  We matched up the toys that belonged together and got rid of toys that were no longer useful.  We put others in garage sale boxes for the Spring.  Their room now looks better than ever, and old toys have become like new again.)

Altogether, I spent $15.70, and I saved $47.39! I didn’t use any coupons, but I did use two reusable bags with Target takes off $0.05 each for, and I put this on my Target card which I barely use and pay off each month so that saved me another $0.77 because Target takes off 5% if you use your Target card to pay.

Did you get any awesome after-Christmas deals?
