It was back to school today for Dakoda, so Sarah Kate and I decided to go do some browsing at Target. It was sooo super cold outside (and actually snowed off and on while were out - but didn't stick), so there were not very many people out and about. Just the crazies like me! Ha! As soon as we walked into the store, we ran into our pediatrician, Dr. Lin, and his three daughters. They didn't have school today, so he took the day off to be with them. How sweet! After we left them, we checked out my favorite part of Target - the bargain bins! They had lots of great stuff, including some SUPER cute Valentine's Day goodies. We just started a new budget, so I'm watching my spending very carefully, but at $1 a piece, I couldn't resist these cuties. :)
Of course I had to check out the after-Christmas clearance sales. I found this 100+ piece food set on sale for $7.00! It will go great with the new kitchen that Santa brought Dakoda and Sarah Kate!
I checked out the Christmas decorations that were 75% off, but didn't see anything that I was crazy about. Then, while we were looking for a shelf to go in Sarah Kate's room, we came across a shelf of these beauties, and I fell in LOVE! At only $3.74, I knew I had to snap one up!
So I ended up with 2 magnetic memo pads, a pair of socks, a 100+ piece food set, and a new Christmas tree for just $13.74 plus tax. I just love finding good deals, don't you?

I absolutely cannot ever go into Target without buying something from their $1 section at the front! I love love love it! And just let me warn you about all that play food...you will grow to hate it! Now the kids...they will love to play with it. But when you start finding little pieces of play food all over your house, you will second guess that purchase! j/k! but seriously!
Me and Will are fixing to start a class at church on Tuesday nights. It is the Dave Ramsey "Financial Peace University." We are really excited about it and hopefully getting out of some debt! I don't know if you all are doing any formal class or anything with your budget that you mentioned...but it isn't too late to sign up for the class if you all are interested! It cost $100 to take the class (I know...sounds funny to spend money to learn about how to save money!) but once you take the class you are always allowed to take it again for free and it comes with a lot of great stuff! But anyways...I just saw that you mentioned a budget so I thought I would let you know about the class in case you all were interested! It starts next Tuesday the 12th and there will be childcare available! Hope your new year is going good!
Hi Julia! Thanks for stopping by my blog & taking the time to leave a comment :)
Your family is adorable - those cheeks on that baby girl are just precious!!
I commented on this post because I so totally have that 'Sweetie' note pad & am a Target addict, too! Well, addict in the form of $1 section & red stickers only!! Haha!
Thanks again!
