Target Toy Sale

I found out by reading some other people's blogs that Target has an amazing 75% off toy sale a couple of times a year. They seem to have it once in January to get rid of extra Christmas stock and make room for the spring and summer toys and then again in July to get rid of those toys and make room for their Christmas stock.

Anyway, the blog world seemed to think the sale was going to be yesterday. I went to Target when it opened and was disappointed to find that toys were still only 30-50% off. Sarah and I had plans to walk this morning at 9 am. Since Carter and I were ready early, I decided to go to Target again in case they had marked down their toys. And they had. I bought way too much. I even went to another Target this afternoon to see if they had anything really good left.

I got Carter toys for the rest of the year and some things for next year even. I even got some stuff for the new baby. Everything I got was 75% off and all good brands. I spent a total of $98.94 including tax.

I felt a little crazy buying a cart full of toys this morning (I was not the only one and I had less than a lot of other people). But I think I got really awesome stuff for the new baby. And I'm not planning to give all the other toys to Carter immediately, and I don't feel like I was buying stuff just because it was cheap. I think he'll like all these toys throughout the next year and some will make really good gifts.
