It's been a quiet Summer so far around here. Since I don't have kids I don't have to worry about the school supply shopping coming up this month. But I did get to enjoy the Target Summer Clearance this past week. I LOVED it! I totally didn't know about it until Jennifer over at Ramblings of a Suburban Mom started blogging about Targets 30-50% off starting and letting everyone know the 70-90% off was starting soon! EKK! So I had to go since I'm kind of (not set or anything yet) planning a week long vacation to Galveston Island, here in Texas, sometime in September, maybe. It's still so warm and the water is still in the 80's even later in September! Also I'm planning to go during the week, to cut down on hotel prices. We haven't been on a vacation in three years! We went to Six Flags in Arlington in 2010, and had a great time! We also went to Hurricane Harbor, Six Flags Water Park right around the corner from the Amusement Park. We were there for three days, and had a really good time.
Here are my Target Summer Clearance 70% off goodies.
I went back to Target a few days later and ever though they were down to less than an isle worth of stuff scattered between three or four isles, I was able to snag these goodies at reduced 90% off clearance rates! I wanted to find another one of those glass beverage dispensers, but they were long gone! I got my mom a 20 piece picnic, and grabbed the last three picnic blankets. We put one in the truck, so that way if we need to change a flat, or investigate under it, we don't have to get the ground all over us, since it usually happens when you're dressed up, or on the way to some kind of event, or a date night.
Here's a pic of Mamas Birthday present from a few weeks ago. All the scarves I've received in my sub. boxes so far. The Gorjana-Griffin scarf from the June PopSugar Must Have box. And three from Bleu Box. Also bundled in there is the pretty neon bracelet set from Bleu Box. She LOVED all of it, especially the Gorjana-Griffin Scarf! So soft.
Speaking of Gorjana-Griffin and the June PopSugar Must Have box. I did end up using the $25. Gift card on a beautiful Butterfly Necklace benefitting EBMRF (Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation).
'EB, which is a group of diseases characterized by blister formation after minor trauma to the skin. This family of disorders, most of which are inherited, range in severity from mild to the severly disabling and life-threatening diseases of the skin. Children with EB are often referred to as Butterfly Children because their skin is as fragile as a butterfly's wings.'
