Heads up to any formula feeding moms - Similac Advanced was 50% off the large can of powder (reg. $21.00) and Good Start was 45% off (don't remember the orginal price) at my local Target. Hope this helps someone!

I know when my firend was getting married several years ago, she went to a "wedding showcase" type thing and alot of vendors did give out discount cards for their services. Also, when I got married, I went to a local consignment shop that received "display models" of wedding products from a bridal boutique. They had great deals on brand new shoes, bridesmaid dresses, ring bearer pillows, etc. I got a beautiful wedding dress that retailed for over $2,500 (still had the boutique price tag on it) for just $75.00. As far as supplies for wedding favors, etc. Michaels craft store carries alot of wedding supplies at good prices. Plus, she could use the 40% off coupon that they usually have to get a higher priced item. Also, if she wants fresh flowers, our local grocery store does bridal arrangements on a special order basis at prices much lower then the local florists. I saw someone picking some up one day and they looked great. Hope this helps and congrats to your friend!

I love shopping at my local target, but hate buying from them online because of their shipping costs. I found the answer to Brandi's email saying that shipping costs "reflect the cost of assembling items and safely packaging each order" funny since the one time I did buy from them online (a hamper that matched my ds' nursery that they did not carry in store), the item had to be sent back twice since it was broken. Both times they put the hamper in a box with no packing material - no wonder it never made it to me in one piece! I finally gave up.

Thanks. I actually went to the mall today and got some great deals for my two boys in store. Prices were the same as online, plus now its an extra 30% off clearance prices. Can't beat TCP turtlenecks for $3.50! :)

I went this afternoon and got some gifts for next year. 1 hat, 1 pair of gloves, cute Pooh and Eeyore tall hot chocolate mugs (1 of each) and some Pooh and Tigger light up ornaments (1 each) all for $8.00. Thay also had a set of four Mickey Christmas mugs for $4.99 and several stockings and stocking holders. I didn't check the price on them since I didn't need them. Lots of other clearance things too. Thanks for the heads up!

I went to my Target today and found some great clearance deals. Pampers Easy Ups Mega Pack for $7.24 (50% off), tennis shoes for my ds for $4.24 (75% off), a sweater for my other ds for $2.98 (75% off), and some other stuff. Seems like more things are going to the 50% and 75% markdowns.

We hide ours in our bedroom closet. My boys are 4 years and 18 months, so they really don't snoop yet. Next year we will definately have to find a better hiding place.
