Easter basket freebies

[TLuvsD]

Walgreens will have 40th anniversary UNO card sets for 99cents tomorrow.

D's Easter basket always has a swimsuit in it, purchased on clearance the year before. It's usually around Easter that the weather starts warming up, so it works for us.

Great choice for topic. I will be following... I always end up spending too much for Easter basket stuff.

Target had these littlest pet shop and my little pony puzzles with toy on sale for $1.24. I also got one of the tiana color wonder books for .49, and I have sunglasses from gymboree for $1-2. I also have a Lego bunny that I got for $2 at the Lego store, and a 3-in-1 Lego car (small) that I got for $1 at kmart when they had that $5 coupon. That's probably almost enough for less than $10 for two baskets.

Target had some of those Mighty Beanz in their Christmas clearance section today. I think I spent 49 cents for a pack of three.

I usually get some spring/summer toys from The Dollar Tree, too. Things like kites, sunglasses, sidewalk chalk, etc.

And silly-string!

There is also plenty of time to buy candy after Valentines day being Easter is so late his year... April 24th!

I will probably fill my baskets with a new Disney movie (I too need to use my DMC lol) and I have a couple things that I stored away that was overflow from stocking stuffers I don't get much candy bc honestly my kids never eat it! I love the idea of fruit snacks (DD is constantly wanting those and yogurt so she will flip for those) and DS is a Doritos lover so maybe I will stick a small bag of those in his..I don't want to go overboard bc then they never use what they get! Thanks to OP about the target deals..definitely have to check there

Great ideas! Our Easter baskets will be stuffed with fruit, granola bars, fruit leathers, and items to take to Dis in September. Probably a mister fan or two... some Emergen-C packets.... hand sanitizer....

No candy for us.

At Toys R Us, the stocking stuffers are 75% off. I got a wooden train whistle for my DS and a package of "mermaid bracelets" (the plastic tube with liquid and glitter in them) for DD for 50 cents each.

I bought rubber stamps in the Michael's dollar spot today that are initials -- they are big. I bought them for some girls we know. $1 each.

I forgot to say -- also at Michael's today I saw their christmas stocking stuffers were on clearance. I got some pairs of CUTE shoelaces for 30 cents.

The ones I got were green and white polka dot (and a lighter shade if green) so It think they will be great for Easter.

Looking for good ideas. I have four kids, ages 16, 14, 10, and 10, and it gets more and more challenging to fill their baskets each year. (Even more difficult than stockings!)

We are taking a beach vacation in San Diego the first week of May, and since Easter is so late this year, I thought some items to take on vacation would be nice. Just not sure what.....or where to find them. So, I'll definitely be following along with this thread.
