I did my usual trip to Target with only the intention of getting to Brita water bottles. Anything else I found would be the frosting on the cake. Did I find a lot of frosting!!! I think I knocked out some Christmas gifts and a few outfits for S when he gets older.
I go for one item and forget to put it in the big picture of all of my good finds. The Brita bottles were $8.89 each. I had a $3 Target coupon and a $3 Manufacturer coupon. So I got each bottle for $2.89. B wants to try Brita filters so the water taste better. I grew up on well water so city water taste great to me. These water bottles are so much cheaper than buying all the Brita filter stuff for B to try. He wants to try and drink more tap water and not so much bottled water or cans of pop (about 4-6 cans a day).

I got clothes from the big boy section. S isn’t close to wearing them yet, but give him a year and half and he will. I buy in advance to try and save money and end up saving a ton. I got these two Shaun White button up shirts for $3.88 each and the cargo khakis for $5.08. I think these will be perfect when he is in kindergarten. I can just picture him wearing these outfits to school.

S has been asking for a jump rope for quite some time now, and when we went over to B’s aunts one day S actually got out jump ropes and did pretty good when we told him to jump. This was in the dollar section up front so how could I pass it up. The Crayola Glow to Go I thought looked perfect for S. He loves Magnadoodles and this is right up his alley. It was on clearance for $4.48. Awesome deal!
- I thought Squinkies would die out a long time ago, but they haven’t and S is getting to that age where he is going to want them. I think I got them for my nieces for there 4th birthday so time is creeping up on that for S. I found the Toy Story Squinkies and thought they were cute. When I saw the Cars Squinkies I knew I had to call B and ask him what he thought. Then I found the crane for the Squinkies that takes coins and lights up and I knew it was over. So I bit the bullet and got them for S. Not sure when he will get it, but sometime in the future. The Squinkies were $2.96 each and the crane was $5.98.
- When I saw all of this I thought of B’s cousin who has two boys and thought this may be perfect for them for Christmas. I have to do a little more investigating on what this actually is, but I bought the whole set. I figured I could go home and do some research and if they are not a good fit for the boys then return it all no harm done. So the Monsuno Strike Sector I got for $7.48, the two strike clips were $2.38 and I got all six metal clip spins for $.58 each. So for about $15 I got both boys taken care of.
All in all I think I did really good. I also bought a pack of gum, but don’t tell B I am not allowed to have gum because I have TMJ. I spent $61.67 and saved $147.71. I would say that is a great savings at about 59%. All the toys and clothes were purchased at 70% off. I love these kinds of shopping trips.
