What's everyone's plan of attack for after Halloween sales?

I'm hitting Target when it opens on Mon morning.
Then over to Wallgreens.

Target drops the prices about 75%!!!
Walgreens is pretty close to that.
I don't want things on "sale" I want them on "super-mega-sale".


I'm new at this though.
What's everyone else doing?
I've seen some threads about current online sales but here's something that's interesting, on Amazon.com I put several items in my "save for later" basket over the summer so every time I log in I get updated if things are on sale or go up in price. I put several costumes in there and as soon as Halloween got closer the prices jacked up on most of them.
So now I'm leery of online "sales"


(please move this if it belongs in another forum, I wasn't sure since I wasn't talking about a specific deal or company)

Most stores drop to 50% off the day after and 75% the week after.

I'll try and coordinate with a couple of fellow haunters where we give each other lists and hit different stores like SPirit and Halloween City.

This year, I'm going after strobes, blacklights and bluckies...and good ole orange lights.

Normally the week before I visit all the stores and write out my, would love to add next year list but I'm heading to Disney later ths week and I won't have the time. I think this year is going to be the mad dash/ grab whats looks good and decide at the cash whether I really want it or not.

Fortunately, I haven't been too enticed by the stores offerings this year.

The only thing I really want this year is another bubble fogger and the rotting mummy at Target that has no back support or any way to mount it. But it looks great.

I'm not expecting Spirit to have any 3-stick candelabras left. Still debating going back for a second one this week.

I don't necessarily have a plan of attack, I always take the day after off. All I really want are some black lights and possibly some skeletons.

Do the seasonal stores like Spirit have after Halloween sales or do they just pack up and disappear?
Either way, I don't hink there will be much left at any of our local stores, as it is really picked over now. Of course, WalMart will have about a thousand or so pumpkin trick or treat buckets left.

spirit does 50% off the day after halloween. but let me warn u..if u spirit is anywhere near as crowded as mine is ur gonna need to get there right when they open. last year when we got there were at least 75 people already there. people were pulling stuuf off the floor walls etc. it was a madhouse

The seasonal stores around my neck of the woods have a sale the day after but then they are gone. Not much out this year that I really really want but I'll hit Spirit or Halloween Express as soon as they open on 11/1. The Party City near me is already marking some props down as much as 50%. It's all small stuff but it's also the kind of stuff I use as bits and parts to make larger props. Walgreens never got that much in this year and a lot of what they have has already been picked over. i might stop in the day after, but I might not bother. The Walmarts here were just pathetic unless you went for kids costumes. And event hen...

I need to wait and see what bombs first. Thankfully, we're running our haunt on the 30th, which gives me a full day of "staking out" what props might be needed next year.

I've got a set limit already with the hubs, and he wants me to get two more fog machines (already half off at the PX here on ft knox) I want to get some nice bluckies and mainly going to look for zombie stuff as I'm doing zombie theme next year. I also need more strobes as well. I'd also like to get some zombabies, but especially kitty cathy. She's my favorite. I'm just going to hit a few here in town first, then if I don't find anything fantastic, going to head up to louisville for some better stuff.
