an eye for bargain (7)

my shopping trip this week included walmart. {i haven't gone there in awhile because target has been my new favorite.} i have a bunch of printable coupons & unfortunately target didn't have the products. so i was so happy to find them all at walmart.

~ 9 boxes nexcare bandages = free [$1/1 mic]

~ 4 reach floss = free [$1/1 pc with 12 cents overage]

~ 5 packs rayovac batteries in different sizes = free [$1/1 pc with 3 cents overage]

i found this v-neck tee for toddlers in the clearance rack for a dollar.

these girl's summer dresses were also on clearance for $3 each.

i didn't find much at target. it was suppose to be the toy clearance sale this week. i must have missed it & everybody {but me} got the good deals.

got this girl capris pants on clearance for $1.75.

these are the freebies i got from target:

~ 2 reach floss = free [$1/1 pc with 11 cents overage]
~ 2 scotch magic tape = free [$1/1 mic]
i took a quick detour to oakwood mall & found some nice clearance items in the stores.

jc penny ~ girl's shoes for $3.57

old navy ~ girl's jelly sandals $2.99 each

old navy ~ printed tie-shoulder tiered sundress for $5.47

and macy's must have "restocked" their clearance racks. i thought i won't find any nice & cheap dresses. but i was wrong!

girl's junior dress ~ $4.97

girl's toddler dress ~ $7.97

girl's toddler summer dress ~ $4.97

girl's swimsuits ~ $4.97 each

summer will be over soon {and i don't want to think about it}. the only thing im looking forward to is more summer clearance!

two weeks ago, i snagged a lot of cheap & free stuff from target which i posted here. i thought my bargain hunting for the month was over. then last friday, i had to get groceries at aldi's. well, target & aldi's are just across from each other! yahoo! yes, this mommy won't just drive by & miss out on any good deals. i'm glad i did & this is what i got....

TARGET

> a pair of kid's sandals - $3.24 [75% off]

> 2 room essentials pillows - $0.50 each [after $2 tpc]

> 2 wet ones - $1.49 each [after $0.50 tpc]

> 3 up & up pantyliners - $0.14 each [after $0.75 tpc]

> 2 2-pack sharpie markers - free [after $1 tpc]

> 3 scotch scissors - $0.99 each [after $1 mic]

> 5 scotch magic tape - free [after $1 mic]

> 5 cherokee jeans for kids - $2.00 each [after $2 tpc]

> 4 10-pack papermate pens - free [after $1 tpc]

is this crazy shopping or what? i'm perfectly happy with all my target finds!

also, earlier that day, my little angel & i stopped at oakwood mall. she played a little bit in the children's area. but before that, i stopped at three stores & got these items on clearance sale....

OLD NAVY

> girl's leotard - $5.49 {she'll be a ballerina for halloween in november}

> 2 piece ruffled bikini - $4.99

JC PENNY

> girl's summer dress - $7.99

> girl's summer dress - $6.79

> girl's rompers - $3.99 each

MACY'S

> white boot leg skinny jeans - $3.99 {i bought one a couple of months ago for $5.59 & i thought that was already a bargain!}

 

> junior summer shorts - $6.99 & $8.74

finally, patience is indeed a virtue! after stalking macy's handbag area for months now, i found a tyler rodan bag that was marked down to 80%! i only paid $17.80. big score! it wasn't in the color that i originally wanted {white was my choice but its still $65 - not within my budget}. however, i bought this for functionality. it serves as my everyday handbag plus diaper bag. my days of lagging two bags are definitely over!

so there goes my happy & fruitful friday day last week. i'm keeping my eyes open all the time. what bargains will i find next? hmmmmm....

**********UPDATED 7/23/2011**********

stopped by target yesterday & got a bunch of items {mostly free or very, very cheap}

> 4 scotch magic tape - free [after $1 mic]

> 2 10-pack papermate pens - free [after $1 tpc]
> 6 10-pack bic pens - free [after $1 pc]
> 4 graphic tee - free [after $2 tpc]
> 2 women's denim jeans - $1.98 each [after $3 tpc]

and this splash board was only $2.48 [75% off]

it's shopping time again for this mommy!

{honestly, ive never shopped this frequent since i quit my job last year}

for father's day, i bought three shirts for jepoy at macy's.

for the little girl, two summer outfits (2T) also at macy's.

another summer dress (5T) at jc penny {will visit more often because they have a lot of clearance items in the kids' department}

a 2 piece bathing suit at old navy {got an online coupon for 50% off}

yes, this three piece outfits (2T/4T) are for boys! but i can't let it pass. i got them at farm and fleet. my vision is to mix and match with a different top or bottom.

found this merona duffle on clearance at target - 25% off {still cant afford the tyler rodan}

and finally, i used target coupons
for this items:

*scotch scissor - $0.99 after $1.00 off

*up baby wash - $0.87 after $0.50 off

*up wipes - $3.64 after $1.00 off

*up panty liner - $1.24 after $0.75 off
