The Target's near me (I went to 4 this afternoon) were all at 75% off. I didn't buy alot for myself......cookie and muffin baking mixes (dd likes to bake and these make it easy), coffee, some bakery cookies for New Years Eve and New Years Day parties, and a couple of gift card holders. I did buy 8 four packs of the Target brand peppermint lattes (bottled) for dd and found 6 crank flashlights (the red box gifts) for $1.25 each. I buy small gifts for everyone on my staff, and thought these would be good for the guys next year. (now, only 36 gifts to go!!).
I also lucked into 3 rolls (100 feet each) of wide gold ribbon for a school event (so I get reimbursed).
My big spending, however, was for a local layette program through Catholic charities. I bought almost $250 worth of infant clothes and blankets (the Christmas ones) that were valued at $1000. My mom and I host a ladies luncheon every year. The luncheon is free, with a donation of some kind (money, or infant clothes). Most of the ladies know I do my bargain shopping, so they donate dollars. I shop all year round and get reimbursed after the luncheon each year.
