Target Toy Clearance

I spent way too much money this morning. I hit up 3 Targets and got tons of toys for the kids' birthdays and Christmas, for friends' birthdays, and to donate next Christmas. Everything I bought (minus one Lego set at 50% off) was 70% off. I spent a total of $178.62 (plus tax) for $582.09 worth of toys.

Carter had school this morning so I went to the first 2 Targets with both boys before dropping Carter off. The Target in Brentwood was almost done with their markdowns and scanning the last few things. The ladies working their were super nice and no one else was there shopping yet. I easily got tons of stuff there and then headed over to the Cool Springs Target.

They were just starting to do markdowns at the Cool Springs location. The two ladies there were not friendly and at first refused to scan anything for me. Until they scan an item, it won't ring up at the register at the lower price. (I am a little obsessed with this sale and know too much about it, can you tell?) Their excuse was if they scan my item, when they get to more of that toy, they won't put a sticker on them because they already scanned mine. I nicely argued that that doesn't make sense because even though a lot of the same toys are grouped together, there were still a lot all mixed up. I pointed out a specific example of a group she had finished a minute ago and that there was an identical toy further down the aisle. She huffily gave in and scanned my 3 items and we left.

We dropped Carter off at school and then Rylan and I went to another Target in Franklin. It was almost 9:30 am when we got there and it was very picked over. All the markdowns had been completed at least. I still found several awesome deals.

So, here is my haul. As usual, I'll probably have buyer's remorse and return at least a few things.

Step2 Real Projects Workshop ($20.98) - I totally caved and let Carter open this today. I was planning on keeping it for awhile but he kept asking for his "work kitchen". I guess it resembles his kitchen, which is also Step2. The boys played with it most of the afternoon.
