A few months back, Becky at bybmg started a series entitled, $10 at Target. She's been sharing her finds each month and this month, she and several other bloggers are hosting a link up for everyone to share their finds. I must confess, I broke the rules for the challenge just a bit (I'll explain!) but had so much fun doing this. My mom and I got a chance to shop together on Friday and since Becky had just posted the reminder, I had the challenge fresh in my mind. We both found some great deals - like the cute butterfly print twin sheets she picked up for my daughter's Easter present for $5! - and we enjoyed hanging out together, so it was a win-win.
On to my haul!
I love shopping for jewelry and accessories in the Target clearance section, so we started there. I found this pretty floral scarf for $4.48. I wear a lot of black and purple and green are among my favorite colors, so I think this scarf will get a great deal of wear.
Next, we scoured the Valentine clearance which had just gone to 50% and 70% off. I've been trying to cut back significantly on sugar, but a wise friend told me I'd be really crabby if I didn't allow myself any chocolate. So most days, I'll eat a piece or two of Dove chocolate or something similar. These chocolate truffle Hershey Kisses looked yummy, and for $1.74, they were a bargain compared to the $3.50 I usually pay for a bag of Dove chocolates. I also got a couple packs of tissue paper for $0.84 each. This is a one of Becky's rules that I "broke". :) The tissue paper is more of a need than something fun - we were completely out and I've needed some extra tissue paper lately for items I've sold on Poshmark. So...it wasn't purely for leisure, but I was happy to find it anyway.
My final item was a purple Yoobi journal. I've been debating trying bullet journaling, and have been looking for an inexpensive journal to try it out. I found this little purple one (my favorite color!) with an elastic band for $3.49. I hoping to start writing in this soon and see how bullet journaling works for me.
My grand total after Red Card discount and tax was $10.13...so there's my other broken rule. :) I was just a tiny bit over $10 with my tax. It was so much fun though, and I'm definitely thinking about doing it again in March.
