at target they only had 50% off, but since they only had one of each of these here is what i got. i didn't want to take a chance they wouldn't be there later.
an orange and black witches hat that had chains and an emblem to go with my orange witch shirt. a tombstone that said spells on it. a pretty picture frame. and a skeleton hand bottle stopper. not pictured is a black mesh willow tree with purple lights.

After work on Sunday I went Clearance shopping and after not 1 TOT it helped.

Walmart 50% off: Green and White Webbing ($1 each); Black, Blue, Purple and Silver Glitter hairspray ($1 each); Bubbles-15, Sticky Eyeball-12 (x2), Kaleidoscopes-9 Favors ($1 each)

Target 50% off: Feather wreath ($10); Fogger ($10); Werewolf bust with LED Eyes ($7.50); Napkins and Snack plates ($0.80 each), Skull rings-40 and Jelly Bracelets Favors-100 ($2 each), Candles for carved pumpkins-2 ($2)

Walgreen's 75% off: Pumpkin pokers x3 ($2 each) {lol pumpkin poker & side note they wanted $8 each and they don't even come with batteries}; Taper battery operated candles x2 ($1.25 each)

It's all the small stuff but one of my games (kid's party) is ready for next year, my husband wanted the battery operated pumpkin carver and now we have three (no fighting), and I needed/wanted one more fogger. Halloweening since 2004 and this was the first time clearance shopping, it was like Christmas

I'm making sure I get to spirit when they open on the first next year.

Whoa, I'm already planning for halloween two years away!

I was not happy with bimart or target clearance... BLAH.. dropped in Grocery outlet for bread and found...
2 bags BLACK spider webs
4 sets of 10 mini pumpkin lights
2 sets of 100 strand orange lights
4 lighted witch window decals
1 hanging red light dead bride
4 bags white stretch spider webs
5 black light bulbs
ALL for $10

Hehe... called Hubby earlier about toy cost for 2009, so he stopped by Target on his way home and made the mistake of calling me to agree with Christmas present shopping skyrocking 20-50% upward.....any who. I nicely asked him to wander over to the Halloween section to see what was left, not much but we are now proud owners of two 6' lighted trees for $10 each. Gosh I love sales!

*Very nice haul there HRS !!! I also scored at Target today.....first time ever there but the stuff just went to 75% off.....went in looking for one item and found 2 left...got the last 2 color light show projectors for $ 7.49 each......woohoo. Heard they look really cool with a fogger. Also picked up some solar power purple LED's.Man I was making my rounds and finding nothing but today was the day I guess. I really wanted the light show projector since I saw it out but wanted to score a good deal on it.I think Spirit wanted $ 49 for one. Walmart is still only 50% off but nothing worth getting there.Now I feel content for a moment there I thought I lost my shopping MOJO.....lol.

Was in JoAnn Fabric today and saw that their Funkins are 70 or 75% off. My location had the medium to small sizes left. I bought a few of the Funkins earlier in the season for my singing pumpkins display. What's left of their halloween decor/costumes was priced 50% off or more I believe. Wasn't paying much attention.

I picked up a few Wilton Skeleton Finger pretzel molds for 50% off (6 molds to a sheet), $.99 each.

Went to my local Wal-greens today, NO HALLOWEEN at all! But Christmas was everywhere. I mean come on Halloween was just Saturday!

went to mason city, iowa's target today, finally 75% off. the 2 6" butlers i was hoping for were gone, but i did score big on other stuff. i will post a picture later
