Stocking Up the Dress Up Box with Halloween Clearance #ThriftyThursday

Confession time: I visited Target EVERY SINGLE DAY last week. And not just one Target – there were several days when I hit at least two different locations. What’s a girl to do when ALL of the Halloween stuff is on sale for 70%-90% off, I ask you?! 

At the beginning of the week, I had precisely 1 costume in my possession (the Alice in Wonderland from last spring) and DH had… a mustache. Now, we’ve got a large Rubbermaid tote full of wigs and beards and body suits and hooded cloaks and silver hair spray and face painting makeup. For us. ALL ADULT SIZED. Because hey, you never know when you’ll be invited to a costume party, right? 

YES, I shopped for the kids, too. We have now have Batman, Spiderman, a Ninja, a Sheriff, a princess, and a Dorothy (complete with the Ruby Slippers) in the house. 

I started the shopping on Monday when things were only 70% off – I knew they’d go lower, but I didn’t want to lose out on getting some of these deals. Afterall, is $2.50 really a lot to pay for a wig? My best deal, I think, was the Spiderman suit from Shoppers that I spotted (when I stopped in for eggs – which they were out of, by the way) for a grand total of $2. I’m not going to like – for someone who loves clearance shopping, it was a thrilling week! 

Oh. And this cookie tray? Yeah. I picked it up for $0.49.

I live in Hamilton, Ontario, and love my city. I'm a Netflixer, choral music geek, bookworm, inventor of recipes (I take Artistic Licence on EVERYTHING that I make), wife of one, mother of two, and owner of a neurotic Schnauzer. I respect people who respect others. I love good food that's well done, but my favourite lunch is KD & hotdogs. With ketchup. I'm addicted to Clearance Shopping. I will ALWAYS get the product that I want at the price that I want, eventually.
