My Latest Deals and Finds while Shopping

So i have been getting my Christmas shopping done here and there and i am still not finished.  And im scared to think that i havent even wrapped one gift yet!  I have so much to do and so little time! I will share with you the deals i got while out and about shopping over the weekend.
My first stop was Kohls,  where i found some great deals on Christmas items.  Alot of the Christmas products were discounted so i couldnt pass them up.  Below is my Christmas bargains from Kohl's

I just love the Cupcake Candle Holder.  I also thought the initial candle was cute as well.  They were 70% off the original price which was $10.00 so i picked them up for only $3 each.  I originally went to Kohl's because i saw a blog post about a cute pair of Toddler Chuck Taylors with Dr. Suess One Fish, Two Fish theme on them.  I luckily found my sons size which is an eight right now.  Here is a picture of the adorable shoes that were on sale for $23.99...

When i checked out the woman at the register let me help myself to as many FREE boxes that i wanted so i grabbed about eight of them.  After leaving Kohl's i was on my way to The Childrens Place where i found this awesome shirt...

I fell in love with this shirt from the Children's Place.  This shirt screams "too cool for school".  It only cost $7.50, it wasnt on sale but its so cute, how could i pass it up.  I spent the next twenty minutes looking all over the store for a couple more but it turned out to be a older style and was the last one left.  That was a bummer because i wanted to purchase them for my youngest son and my nephew.  Oh well, i was off to the next store which turned out to be Bed,  Bath and Beyond which yielded a dollar deal.  They had scented hand soaps for only $1.  My favorite is sugar vanilla so i picked up a couple to throw in gift bags with other gifts.  I also picked up a fresh cotton scented one as i loved the scent!  After that i headed to Target where i was hoping to pick up a few deals from the dollar bins but arrived there and was dissapointed when i saw some $5 stuffed animals in the bins and barely any dollar deals.  Oh well...i noticed a sale on womens gloves, a two pair pack for only $1.  They had a wide selection of colors but i went with a basic black with stitching on them.  These make great "extra" gifts to throw in a bag.  Below is a picture of the gloves from Target and the hand soap from Bed, Bath and Beyond
Last but not least i headed to Old Navy.  I saw some great deals advertised in my local Sunday paper so i wanted to check them out.  Like usual...they were out of alot of the styles and prints in the sales ad but i was lucky to find some great bargains there.  Right now they have some great bargains for only $5.  Here is what i purchased:


The PJ bottoms at the top of the picture only cost me $5 each so i had to pick up a couple.  The Old Navy shirt only cost $5 as well.  Below the shirt is a shirt i picked up for my youngest son on clearance for only $2.47.  To the side of it is an adorable long sleeve Christmas shirt for little girls that only cost me $1.99 so i picked up a couple for my nieces.  The Old Navy Fleece at the bottom of the picture only cost me $5 which is such a good deal.  To the side of it is a few pair of Old Navy boxers which only ran me $2.50 each.  I also used a 30% off an item coupon that i found on the sales ad which saved me about a buck or so.  All together i only paid $36, now thats a deal!

Last Weekend Deals at Rite Aid and Big Lots

This past weekend while i was browsing through sales papers,  i noticed a sock monkey in the Rite Aid paper.  I decided to go check it out and was on my way!  I found it in the Holiday Gift aisle for only $5!  I have been looking for a sock monkey for my middle son so i was very pleased to find it at such a reasonable price.  They also had a striped pink one for girls.  I would have liked a striped blue one but all i saw was this design and the pink striped design.  They also had a bigger sock monkey in different designs for only ten dollars.  The second great deal i found was a 50 in wide x 60 in Fleece throw for only $2.99.  I figured it would make a good gift for one of my nephews or who ever!  It makes a great gift for almost anyone because every one likes a throw blanket!  They had many different styles too so there is a great selection of patterns.  My third deal was a nice cozy pair of slipper socks that i picked up for only $1.  They feel so thick and comfy,  they were definitely a steal for only a buck!  These would make a great stocking stuffer or accompanying gift.  My forth deal was a Snowman Foam Craft kit which only cost me a buck.  I figured my boys would have fun making this Christmas project and for a buck,  who can beat it!  So all together with tax it cost me a little over ten dollars...now that was a bargain.
So after i was done at Rite Aid i headed over to Big Lots,  hoping to find some great deals and i did!  The first bargain i found was Holiday Cookie Mix Kits which were available in Gingerbread and Hot Cocoa.  The Gingerbread cookie mix even comes with a mini Gingerbread cookie cutter.  Each mix  makes 18-24 cookies each.  I bought a couple of them for extra gifts to have on hand.  The best part...they only cost $2 each!  Wow...you cant even find that kind of deal at Wal-Mart!  While there i also came upon a lemon meringue soap bar for a buck!  I could smell the lemon scent escaping from the box so i was tempted to buy it.  So i went ahead and through it in my cart.  Before leaving the aisle i found a sample size bottle of Suave for men shampoo/conditioner for only 25 cents.  I picked one up to add to my husbands Christmas stocking.  I usually don't make him a stocking but this year i have been picking up little stuff here and there to add to it.  Well that completed my shopping trip to Big Lots and i left after paying only six bucks altogether.  Now that was my kind of deals!!!! Have you found any great deals while out shopping lately?
