I decided to skip the towel for now, we're not going until next year (I'm just an obsessive planner) but we did pretty well at the sale yesterday. I havent been in a month or two, so I can't say if anything was on sale now that wasn't before...
I bought one Rapunzel costume for $29.99 (org. 44.99), one Ariel costume $24.99 (org. 44.99), and one Sleeping Beauty Costume $24.99 (org.44.99)... I was going to return one of the costumes, either Ariel or Aurora but brought them home for DD7 to choose, she loved them both, so we're keeping both... <sigh> I bought the matching shoes for Rapunzel and Ariel ($9.99 from $14.99). We got a Jack Skellington TShirt I'm going to squirrel away for a Christmas present, I think that was $6.99, I'll have to check, and 4 nightgowns, two fancy, and two simple, and 4 sets of the $2.99 flipflops...
When all was said and done, it came out to about $200 with tax... I figure with what it would have cost us to get both girls a costume with their BBB packages ($380+ tax instead of $110), I still come out ahead!
Oh, they also had sunglasses for $1.99, but I skipped those. And our CM said our local sale (Maryland) had started Monday. So it must be a regional thing.
