Day after Christmas shopping deals : )


Hey everyone!  I know it's been a little while since I've been on (big thanks to ThriftyGuy for filling in for me since I have been working and we have had family visiting!!)  Thanks again for all of the birthday and holiday wishes that have been pouring in!  You guys are the best!  : )

Anyway, on to today's events:  ThriftyGuy and I got up at the crack of dawn this morning (4:45am - no joke!) to hit up some stores and try to get some good deals.  Here's what we found...

Old Navy opened at 6am (which was our first stop).  There are some good deals there (although I was hoping for more discounts and more inventory - some items were picked over with limited sizes left).  They are having a 60% off sale on select items throughout the store.  And of course don't forget to hit up the clearance section - ours was FULL of stuff!  All in all, we got some great deals (including adult jeans - which are all on sale for $15 today!  Kids are only $10!)  And it was really fun to look around the store and randomly give away a $50 off $100 coupon!!  I found two new friends (one of which is a reader from Boise, ID - what are the odds?) who was shopping with her friend; both were very excited to get the coupon!  Congrats girls - I hope you were able to buy some great stuff with it!! : )

Our next stop was at Michael's, where they have already discounted items up to 60% as well.  This is especially great if you want to stock up on holiday crafts or decorations for next year!  Note:  Make sure to take a 40% off coupon with you in case you find a regular priced item you want to use it on.  Don't have one?  Click here to print one now

Our last stop before heading home (so that we could post the Old Navy coupon giveaway : ) was to Target.  The $1.00 section had a bunch of stuff discounted at 50% off.  The store didn't look to busy/crowded until we turned the corner to the Holiday Section and OMG(!)  It looked like the day after Thanksgiving!  People were everywhere, scrambling to get discounted items (all holiday items are 50%) off.  One hit were Oreo cookies, which were ringing up at $1.39 a package (ThriftyGuy wants me to note that they are regular and NOT double stuffed, but that didn't seem to stop people from GRABBING them off the shelves!  Imagine if you had a coupon to use with that sale!!)  There were aisles and aisles full of great discounted items - lots to look at.  I was bummed to see that all of the Queen flannel sheets (on sale for $10) were gone.  There were plenty of holiday treats and goodies as well as decorations, cards, and gifts left!

Well, that about sums up our finds this morning.  I wanted to be sure to alert you all that there are some good deals to be had out there.  Make sure to take your coupon books with you (depending on where you are headed) and be careful!  There are tons of people out shopping today - all in a mad search for a good deal!  : )

If I come across anymore deals, I will let you know....  If you come across any, feel free to leave a comment and share it with the rest of us!  : ) 

Hope you all have a great day!
