Oh, I also setup my stocking stuffer system! Small handled shopping bags for each person so I can keep track of how much I have for each and know when stocking should be full. Have them setup on higher up shelf in the North Pole storage area. DS doesn't snoop yet and DH never goes upstairs so I think I'm in the clear!

AJ. What a list!!!
There are a few ideas from there that I have forgotten. Need to buy chapsticks for all the stockings, summer here soon and all the kids could use new chapsticks.
DD moving out of home has also prompted me to do a baking basket for her, I think though it will be for her birthday in January.

Got dd 3 stocking stuffers today... she chose them a measuring spoon from David's tea, a hand cream and a hand sanitzer

Just found a great stocking filler for DD. Lemonade tea infusion. Just put a bag in a water bottle. Great for Summer.

Picked up two more Star Wars ForceLink figures for $1.99 each last night - also got a magnetic putty set for $3.50 after a 15% coupon I had at Meijer. That will go in DS's stocking.

Received my Tupperware order of 2 freezer kits and mini salt/Pepper. some of these will be gifts

Picked up a couple 3 qt soup pots from Macys yesterday .. well actually picked up 3 .. 1 for me and 2 to be tucked away as chistmas gifts. I got them at almost 80% off the regular price

You ladies inspire me!

I was at the mall yesterday and they had all these $12 Lego sets on for $9.99. Then I found one that said $89.99 with the same $9.99 sticker on it. I thought it was a mistake, but brought it up to the cash to check. They told me it was right. The Lego set had been in the store since the day they opened, so they were just clearing it out. Too bad my kids were all with me as it would have been great to put under the tree. May give it to one of nephews.

Frosty, what a great buy with the Lego. Amazing prices.

My daughter LOVES Harry Potter .. found a couple of glass tumbler and a coffee mug with Harry Potter on them at Walmart. Picked them up to put away for Christmas. Now just need to find Iron Man ones for my son.

 

[AuntJamelle]

Just ordered a couple of mini figurine sets for DS - an 8pc mini dinosaur set and a 14 pc Despicable Me characters set - between the two of them I will have most of the drawers in the Advent calendar covered this year!

 

[AuntJamelle]

Got some more things tucked away!

Ordered two Target Fall Beauty boxes for two people on my list - they'll be good stocking stuffers!

Had $10 rewards at Kohls so ordered a couple of lotions, also for stocking stuffers. Only $2.12 out of pocket.

Then at Target I picked up a Spiderman Magic Towel from the Dollar Spot for DS's stocking and then I took a peek at toy clearance. Got a Minecraft Color Changing Potion Bottle for $19.99 and then found a super sweet deal.

There was a box in the clearance section that did not have a price tag. A nice size robotics set from Hexbug - for building a couple of outer space themed items - I tried to check it at the price scanner and it kept saying "Item not found"

So I figured I would just take it up to the register and see what happened. It ended up ringing up for $4.98!!!! SOLD!!! That was a great find!

 

[sweetpumkinpye]

AJ, that was a great find, well done.
I was in a chemist store yesterday and they had foundation in DD brand for 50% off. Got her one for in her makeup bag that I do for her.
DS wrote some top end car cleaning supplies on his wish list. Quite expensive but good quality. When I looked at the auto store all the items were on sale!! Placed an order and DH picked it up yesterday. I will buy a cheap bucket, place items inside and wrap it all up.

 

[AuntJamelle]

Great job on your finds, Katrina! It's so nice to find things that a person specifically wants on sale!!!

Oh, I also setup my stocking stuffer system! Small handled shopping bags for each person so I can keep track of how much I have for each and know when stocking should be full. Have them setup on higher up shelf in the North Pole storage area. DS doesn't snoop yet and DH never goes upstairs so I think I'm in the clear!

I use a shoe box for each person's stocking stuffers. I found it much easier to stack the shoe boxes then try to keep everything in bags.

 

[sweetpumkinpye]

When DD's lease is up she will likely move out on her own. Yesterday picked up a good quality cutlery set for 30% off. I got her the cake forks and buffet forks to match. It will either be a Christmas gift from DS or a birthday gift for January if needed.

 

[AuntJamelle]

Picked up two bottles of hand lotion from Joann's yesterday - probably will use as part of teacher or teacher's aide gifts this year!

Found a Carolina Panthers trash can for DH on clearance last week. It will go perfectly in his man cave lol
