Inside My Target Cart

My kids go through socks like crazy. They are so dirty and gray from the shoes and dirt that the poor white socks don't have a chance.

Luckily I found these very cute colorful character socks for only $1 in the dollar section at the front of the store!!

Found these in the Easter aisle, they are totally awesome.
But what to fill them with...

Did you know that you can go online and print out a ton of Target coupons all in different store categories?? I didn't!

The Kid had a 'knight' themed birthday - I had picked up some shields at Michael's, but was reluctant to pay $5 for a sword to go with it. Just so happens, I found these foam axes in the DOLLAR SECTION!

Of course two days later they had foam swords, but something about the axes cracked me up - they just seemed very violent...yet harmless. For a buck - it made for great party favors!

I saw these Batman gloves for $2.78 on clearance. I figured I could spare the $2 since I returned most of the kid's Christmas toys and didn't tell them. Ha - I'm mom of the year.

I knew these gloves would get used 'cause the Baby dresses up like Batman every day. Every. Day. I'm not kidding. There are homemade masks, capes, utility belts - that's in addition to his daily Batman shirt and Batman underwear. It never ends, I tell you.

Now he has these odd, magic hobo Bat-gloves. He literally SCREAMED when he saw them, so I guess they'll be put to use with the rest of the daily Bat-outfit.

30% off Toys

I hit the sale last year and did most of my Christmas shopping in January. It's on again but I think I'm catching the tail end of it. It was a bit of a search to find stuff for my girls. I got a My Little Pony set for $3.44, a Matchbox set for $6.48, a Pictureka puzzle for $3.48 and a Littlest Pet Shop Mall Madness game for $12.48. I LOVE having Christmas done by Jan!

I stopped by the holiday section just to see what was left and lo and behold there was the 90% off sign. Clearly all the good stuff would be gone, right? WRONG.

I found Batman wrapping paper! As you know, the Baby is a HUGE Batman fan, so this was a great find. Granted you can see there's green and red, but you'd be hard pressed to say that this couldn't be birthday wrap, right? RIGHT??

So I took a roll (it's large 70 sq ft!) and marched on over to the price check:

30 cents!?! Heck yeah!

Truly, Batman is the gift that keeps on giving.

Preparing for Spring

In addition to all the Christmas stuff on clearance, Target also has these cute lunch bags. It's never too early to start preparing for the warm weather and day trips. The bags come in four different sizes. The one pictured below was $7.98 and is advertised as holding 9 cans of pop. Or, like my husband and I plan to use it, it can hold a few bottles of water and some sandwiches. Perfect for when we go on our photo excursions.

The aluminum bottles are $12 for two if you're trying to cut back on the plastic bottle consumption as well.

Who needs this much Goldfish, seriously?

Well since I have THREE parties that I am throwing - back to back, and I like to have snacks for the guests, it was a good idea. Not to mention that I got it at the after Halloween sale for 50% off! Whee!
