Wal-Mart has toys on sale

I just got a lap top for ABC’s for Turkey Butt for her birthday from my parents on sale at Wal-Mart.  It was originally at $35 on sale for $21.  She will love it and I got a good deal on it.  Now is the time to look for great sales on toys and clothes […]

Awesome Clearance at Target

I dropped by Target today and they have already clearanced their Christmas stuff 75% off!  They have a great selection too.  There were at least 6 aisles full at my local Target. 
I have been wanting a new jewelry box, but after seeing the prices I decided to wait.  I’m glad I did because I purchased one […]

Did anyone else notice that Christmas decorations were on sale well before Christmas this year?  And what about the Wal-Mart sales that were advertised before Black Friday?

My Black Friday

I had a ball this year for Black Friday but didn’t really find any good sales.  Aeropostale had their store on sale for 50% off everything.  Other than that, there were just specific deals, usually on electronics, and if you weren’t looking for those, you were out of luck.  I will say that I didn’t […]

The first week he was unemployed I cut back on our spending, but not dramatically.  Week two I really started cutting back.  No eating out […]
