samisma Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 think the stores will have these? specifically walgreens, cvs, target, and walmart? i'm thinking of using all the candy coupons that i've stocked up and hitting these stores if the valentine's candy goes 1/2 off. and i guess this makes me cheap, but that candy will be split up among easter baskets...

happyrat Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Candy always goes 1/2 off, and sometimes you can find it at 75% off if there is any left. This is the way I buy all of my candy. I always buy one season behind. Same candy different bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetoshopCA Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 check the coupons, though. Unless your stores take expireds, most of them expire 2/14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samisma Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 check the coupons, though. Unless your stores take expireds, most of them expire 2/14. I must be lucky then.... mine expire:2/20, 2/28, 3/15, 3/31, 4/13, 4/14, 4/30, 4/20, 5/10, and 8/31. they cover the valentine hearts by DeMet's turtles, snickers, nestle, ghiradelli, m&m's, russel stover, dove, etc etc. no ferrer roche though. i got weak and used that before it went clearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freesia39 Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 best bet is tomorrow and it should be 50% off. i'm going to try CVS tomorrow. target though usually has the largest selection of what's left. my CVS was already looking pretty bare yesterday.

dantegirl Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Our Walgreens today was looking VERY bare and that was at 11:00 this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel-too Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I've noticed in the past, especially CVS, they dont go on sale right away. Seems some ppl wait til the weekend to celebrate so they dont put the candy on sale till after the first weekend of Val Day. At least what I've seen.

Penelope Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 I found Walgreens and grocery store after-holiday candy prices to be pretty high. So I would check Target and Walmart first for the best prices. I do remember Walgreens had a lot of cute pencils, notepads, etc. that would be nice fillers for gooddy bags. I might check there for any bargains in a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelsanbor Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Just got back from my Walgreens SW Florida. Valentine candy is 50% off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boblabontefan Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 The Walgreens I went to this morning had tons of plush animals for 50% off. A lot of them didn't have any Valentine reference on them at all.... maybe a good buy for those Easter baskets or to give to your local police department (I bought 5 just for this purpose). Oh yea, I also stocked up on Dove Dark chocolate. I found Dove dark valentine hearts in the regular candy aisle. Maybe someone's stash???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkroses4mommy Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Kroger had candy 50% off. I bought some for Easter. I also bought DH a big chocolate chip cookie from the bakery for $2.99 (reg. $9.99) and then bought myself a dozen roses at Food Lion for $9.99!! (He had already bought me something for Valentine's Day.) I told DH that we should just wait every year and celebrate Valentine's Day on the 15th!

Penelope Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 I went to the Paper Outlet today and found some great deals. They are the same as Party America, but usually a bit cheaper. Valentine's items were 75% off. So I had my DD3 pick out party favors for her next birthday. I figured that whatever theme she goes with, the Valentine's stuff can be ok for the goody bags. We bought: Set of 12 notepads $0.50 Set of 8 heart maze puzzles $0.50 Set of 24 tattoos $0.50 Tiny stampers in a round case $0.25 Small Stuffed animals (frogs, dogs, bears) $0.25 A little larger sized stuffed animals $0.50 I was pretty happy to get all this stuff, since all those little things for goody bags seems to add up pretty quickly.

TAJ mommy Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Barnes & Noble has 50% their Valentine's day books. Got some really cute books for the kids. Hannah Montana books with actual valentine's cut-outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetsali Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 CVS in my area goes straight to 75% off after the holidays. Today I snagged 4 bags of Dove Chocolates for $1.48! Used B1G1 coupon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
