If you head to Target, make sure to check out their toy section. Right now they should have their toys marked down in the clearance section anywhere from 75-90% off! That is a HUGE DEAL!! Last year I was able to get most of my Christmas shopping done in January at Target. What a great feeling!

Bath & Body Works will probably have their travel size toiletries on sale as well from $1 up.

Check out Walmart (I saw toys on clearance there although not as good of a deal as Target), Toys R Us, KMart, Family Dollar and Big Lots for deep discounts on left over toys.

I am not going shopping this year ::sigh:: as we do not have the cash to do it right now. I figure what is the point of buying toys at such a deep discount if I am going to pay with a credit card and carry a balance? Kind of defeats the deal, doesn’t it? If you go, it is smart to have a list of who you need to buy for, a price point so you do not go over, and ideas for each person on your list. That way you stay within your budget and do not buy excess. It is a great time of year to go and stock up on Birthday presents as well!

Happy Shopping!

And, to make the deal even sweeter, Target has Nerf products on sale through 09/07/09. So I was able to buy my son an N-Strike Firefly on sale for $21.99 when it is normally $24.99. Then, minus the $5 off coupon, I only paid $16.99 + tax!! And, adding the awesome bonus on the site makes for a really great birthday or Christmas present! Woohoo! I love good toy deals!

Update 11/09/09: I received my free bonus today in the mail and it is fantastic! It is a great addition to the Nerf gun I bought my son and I plan to give him both for his birthday. Yay for free toys!
