Meanderings For A Target Gift Card

Jump to Comments

As I wandered into Target today to purchase that $12 gift card I am going to give away in just a few moments, I also snagged a few other items that went immediately on sale after October 31st came and went.

1. A Halloween costume for Keri next year which I will give to her for Christmas this year as dress-up … I love being frugal and killing multiple birds with one stone.

2. A Halloween shirt for Keri next year.

3. A spider shirt for Cory. He adores arachnids right now, although he will also get this for Christmas and it should still fit him next Fall.

4. Two orange 18 gallon storage bins with black lids. When they are sitting in a shed or garage, who cares what color they are?

5. Another clearance shirt for Keri for Christmas. Can you tell we are into practical gift giving? If my kids need new clothes, I might as well wrap them up and give it to them for a holiday or birthday present.

However, I did manage to pass up splurging on a few other clearance items:

6. Some darling Fall, not Halloween, decorations. Apparently once Halloween has come and gone stores pull out all their Christmas merchandise and get rid of their Autumn things even though there are still two months left to go.

7. Cute Halloween socks – Keri loves to wear themed socks.

8. A Halloween costume for Cory. None of the boy costumes stood out to me, so why buy something just because it is a good deal?

9. Clearance clothes for the kids. I am getting tired of storing things for future use in our teeny apartment.

10. Kit-Kat Halloween candy

11. Butterfinger Halloween candy

12. Dark chocolate Halloween candy

13. Miniature Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

I know chocolate can make excellent food storage, but I think the amount Keri and Cory got this Halloween should last us for several months.

Now, without further ado, I will randomly choose the winner of the Target gift card … although I do want to say thank you to all the thoughtful people who left me such kind comments on my blogiversary post. You really know how to make a girl feel happy and special . Thanks for giving me some legitimate reasons to feed my blogging addiction. In fact, this post by The Great Mommy Diaries left me feeling rather flattered.

And the winner is ….

… the extremely talented writer and author, Candace Salima of Dream Just a Little More.

Congratulations!
