Gotta find a spot to hide this stuff from the ol lady

I found out that Party City doesn't do Halloween discounts.

Haven't you heard THAT one before?!?

I went to Party city, bought a 1000 watt fog machine and remote for half off, then went back and got an additional one plus 2 remotes for half off.
Then cleared out their stock of skulls for 75% off.

Odd Lots had 50% off on halloween stuff. I got some cool LED skulls that are sound activated. Linked together they flash their eyes and make creepy sounds. Got those for 8.00. That seemed like a good buy...cannot buy sound boards and LEDs for that.
I also purchased a number of sets of flickering lights. 5 sets at 5.00 each. that is 50 flickering bulbs...quite cheap.

I think Party City is not selling any halloween stuff today..I might try it out and see.

Wee!

I'm confused....did you get the stuff at Party City or not? Sublime Nightmare also said Party City wasn't discounting, but your post makes it look like they are and that you haven't been there both at the same time.

Well, went to Spirit and purchased a flying bat for $4, an 18" black light for $8.50 (should have waited...found a Target with 2 left, so would have been a 20" for $6...oh well), and got my 5 pillar candelabra for $20!!! YAY! One Spirit last night had only a display missing a candle, this one closer to me had about 10 last night still in box.

Swung by Target and got a ceramic pumpkin cookie jar for $10 (still feel overpriced) but reminds the girlfriend of one she had as a kid, so my gift to her. Did a bit of magic and picked up some LED light strings 50% off, $10 instead of $20. Checked one more place for Funkins and they were 66% off but I thought that was STILL too high. Hoping for 75% or more yet.

Swung by Wal-Mart and bought three (two orange and one purple) LED battery strings for 50% off (under $10 for all three).

Sumrtym, I asked the staff and they said they don't do the 50% discount on Halloween items, only on things like the paper products. She told me they sell some of the costume stuff all year and the rest of the Halloween items they just pack up and re-sell next year. I was bummed because I wanted a couple of their foam skulls and some table centerpieces and really had my eye on one of their wreaths. Not gonna happen if it's not on sale though. They can keep it til next year!

Saves me a trip then. I thought about picking up a large blowmold cauldron, but if they don't have a sale I'll hope I see big discounts again on them next year like Halloween City (or was it Express) did this year. They had so many and had them 50% off so early I thought I'd get one for a song later. Yesterday, they were all completely gone.

Went to Walgreen's & they had their stuff on sale for 50% off.....wanted the Giant Spider, but I may hold off for a few days...

Also went to Walmart & they only had stuff on sale for 50% off also & really didn't have much other than candy. A few kids costumes & wigs, but nothing I really wanted....

I really don't feel like driving up to Target or Michael's.....

I'm too tired to get motivated to head out to Spirit or Halloween City this morning, both in my area having 50% off sales. Can't really say I'm in need of anything right now so I'm sure that is part of my laziness. If I'm feeling more energetic might see what's left this afternoon. Also depends on what's left in my budget. Had a few last minute unexpected purchases before halloween so probably not much left to spend anyway. Last year I was sick with the flu so didn't make it out then either. It really can be a good time to pick up items for the next year though and I got some great stuff including a few large props the year before that. Somehow faced with storing things now for the season is a deterient to going out....hope you guys find some fun stuff.
