I try to get out after each holiday and stock up during the after holiday sales for next year. I thought I had missed my opportunity this year. We had a busy Easter and then I never got to the stores for the clearance sales.
Yesterday I was out getting cards for Mother's Day and May birthdays I was reminded this Paper Store has a clearance section that continues year round. When they mark items down in the store, they move them to a special room. I did not expect to find much, but to my delight I found an Hello Kitty dressed as a bunny, an Easter version of the Barrel of Monkeys game that substitutes bunnies and an egg for the monkeys and the barrel, and a couple of cute cars. I even found a card game I had not encountered before to put away for Christmas. My 2012 Easter stash has begun. I much prefer the prices after Easter than before.
Great job! All I got was candy that my family is eating already lol
ReplyDeleteThat's always a great idea to shop after one holiday for the following year. This post reminds me though a few days ago I was in Target with the kids and my youngest was shocked that people were just now buying their Easter eggs (didn't they know Easter over?)
ReplyDeleteMy mommy found a TY Hello Kitty with bunny ears! She said she loves shopping for holiday stuff, after the holidays. ;)
