What happens when you have a terrible backache and no medication? A quick run to the drugstore. I had to run out a few days ago to pick up some pain relief meds and Bengay for my back, so I quickly put together a simply scenario to help me buy more for the exact same price.
The candy items I picked up from CVS are not pictured because…well, we ate them already.
Yes, I’m convinced that Sweetarts help cure an aching back.

Target Toy Clearance Shopping Trip 2011

July 29, 2011 By Jasmine 3 Comments

I went to Target yesterday at around noon to get in on the 75% toy clearance. There were a ton of toys of my Target marked 30-50% off, but only a few worth picking up that were actually 75%. I’m not sure if I missed out on more of the 75% or if the toys just weren’t all the way marked down yet.

Here’s what I picked up:

Fisher Price Family Manor doll house – $8.98 (reg. $29.99)

Moon Dough – $0.76 (reg. $3.04)

Timmy Time Night Night Timmy – $6.24 (reg. $24.99)

Total: $15.98
Saved: $42.04

What did you pick up at Target? Feel free to send me a picture of your trip: dealiciousfinds(at)yahoo.com.
