Target Toy Sale

The big summer toy sale started today at the Targets in Knoxville. I've been impatiently waiting for the big 75% off markdown. Even though I was pretty sure today would be the day, I've been going to Target every morning this week to make sure they didn't decide to start the sale early (which apparently did happen at one of the Targets yesterday on the other side of town). Since we didn't have much going on today, I ended up going to 3 local Targets to find everything I got (I'm crazy, I know).

It was a lot harder having both kids this time. When I went to the winter sale in January with only Carter, I thought it was hard stuffing all the toys into my cart. It's a lot harder with one in a carseat and a much more mobile and restless Carter. And then there were times when both kids were screaming. But we managed and it was worth it for the great deals I got.

Most of what I got was 75% off. There were a couple of things only at 50% off, but they were things I really wanted so I was okay with paying a little more. This weekend Brian and I need to go through everything I bought and make sure we want to keep all of it (because I spent way more than I had planned on).

So, I spent a total of $186.93 (plus tax) for toys that cost $640.47 full price (which is 71% off).

Here's what I got ...

Nice job! I really wanted the Circo block set and saw it earlier in the week at 50% off but it was gone yesterday :( I ended up with another block set though with the alphabet and numbers on them.

And I am overwhelmed by the sheer number of toys we are in for to entertain Fin soon! I can tell already he is so bored with a lot of what we have.
