Couponing to Disney

Trip 2 of Easter Clearance and oh what a trip it was.

We’re officially in the 50% Food, 70% off merchandise lane and I would predict 70% off food and 90% off merch, if your store drops that low, around Sunday. Easter clearance tends not to go longer than a week. They’ve got Mother’s Day and then the big summer push coming up.

I went to the fancy Target today (an additional 10 minutes away, but so so worth it) and I was shocked. They had a TON of candy left, but all the merchandise could fit on, like, one endcap. This didn’t bother me, since I tend to find the best stuff when clearance gets down to bare bones. But if you’re eyeing something and there are only a few left, now is the time to grab it. Both my my stores had less stuff than I anticipated at differing price points of the sale.

While I was perusing, I found the cutest little squishy purple unicorn with no tag. I asked a passing red shirt if it was actually supposed to be in clearance, since it had no tag and was sooo cute. I figured it wandered over there accidentally and was really meant for a display in the toy section.

Bless this red shirt, she went above and beyond for me. This is the kind of service you get when you go to the Fancy Target. She journeyed all over the store, trying to find where this little fellow came from. There were no other squishy purple unicorns in this entire store, y’all. I don’t know if this one dropped from the sky or what, but there was NOTHING to price check it with. Finally, she found me a similarly sized stuffed that was on clearance and said, “when you get to the register, tell them to ring this up, and then take off 70% for Easter clearance.”

The toy she picked was $3.99, which meant I got my unicorn for $1.20! Combined that with some of those sweet lip glosses I got last trip, even cheaper, and I had a pretty decent trip.

A ton of clearance in Bullseye’s Playground, including some great Dr. Seuss themed stuff for the teachers or Seuss stans among you.

Great plastic Easter goods. I grabbed a blue basket for $.50 to be part of a baby shower gift I’m putting together.

Love this baking set for kids, only $2.50.

Lots of cute kids nail stuff and makeup accessories. I snagged a brush set for $1.50.

Fun Lego computable sets for $.50! Great for stocking stuffers, or small reward.

Bunny Bubble Wand, $.50 each. Stock up on these for summer!

Be sure to check out other departments with Easter related goods like toys, home, and the arts & crafts department. Spritz had a ton of Easter crafts on clearance.

I just wanted to dive into those rows of Reese’s Scrooge McDuck style.

Baby Easter baskets in the clearance section, but also in the baby section. Super cute and would definitely work year round.

I’m so nosy. You know I was skulking around the outback cart, trying to find the good stuff.

Look at these felt Easter truck baskets! Super fun.

Lamb pez!

I have never heard of Peep on a Perch, but if your family needs a creature to watch over you while your Elf is on vacation from his Shelf, this guy could be yours for $7.49, 70% off the original $24.95.

Easter themed food is also included in this sale, so check your food sections as well as Easter clearance.

I am told Smooshys are all the rage. Get all the rage for all the percents off!

These Lil Woodeez were $4.99, then they $1.49, now they are mine 99.

Baby outfits that definitely work all ear round. Bunnies are very on brand for babies. $2.99 down from $9.99.

This is what I love to see. When the savings total is double the amount set. I’ll probably try one more time on Sunday or Monday, see if we can’t hit that coveted 70%-90% off mark.
