Target Post Christmas Shopping!

I LOVE Target! I go too often, at least 2 or 3 times a week. I have a favorite parking spot and a favorite cashier! And I love how easy it is to save money!

I love the annual post Christmas sales, but only the right price. I've been once or twice already when Target had their Christmas things at 50% and then 70% off and picked up a few things that I knew weren't going to make it to 90% off (25 cent bags of m&m's, free cake mix), but my Target had TONS of ornaments and decoration type things, so for that stuff, I thought I'd wait until 90% off to see what I could pick upH!

This morning, I took my little elf (aka Ethan) along on the trip. He serenaded the seasonal area with a loud off key rendition of Frosty, hehe, but I digress. The Christmas section was picked over, but there was still tons of good stuff. I bought ornaments, stockings, stocking stuffers and wrapping supplies!

Here is what I got (disclaimer, I rounded prices ended in .99 to the nearest dollar):
     -2 picture frames regularly $10 each, I paid $2 for both
     -Christmas CD regularly $10, I paid $1
     -snowman sugar bowl regularly $5, I paid .50
     -2 packs of tissue paper regularly $2 each, I paid .40 for both
     -5 packs of gift tags regularly $3 each, I paid $1.50 for all 5
     -plain green stocking regularly $1, I paid .10
     -Cars stocking regularly $13, I paid $1.30
     -kids' Santa hat regularly $5, I paid .40
     -5 simple little ornaments regularly $1 each, I paid .50 for all 5
     -snowman ornament regularly $6, I paid .60
     -Thomas the Train ornament regularly $8, I paid .80
     -box set of ornaments regularly $30 (my favorite find, see picture below!), I paid $3
     -bird ornament regularly $3, I paid .30
     -bag of bows regularly $5, I paid .50
     -2 spools of curling ribbon regularly $3 each, I paid .60 for both
     -3 sets of window clings regularly $2 each, I paid .60 for all 3
     -a little Nerf gun toy regularly $5, I paid .50
     -boys' clip on tie regularly $4, I paid .40
     -make your own garland kit regularly $1, I paid .10

Assuming my math is right, I paid $15.10 for what was originally $151 worth of stuff! All coupon free too :) Yes there were other things purchased, but they are not included in this post!

Here is what I got - let me know if you got any good deals this year and where you got them!
The haul
My favorite buy - a set of "12 days of Christmas" ornaments!
