Here is some of the stuff.
Two Bronze vases from Michaels. Originally $8.99 each, I paid $2.69 each (70% off). They are gorgeous and perfect for Thanksgiving.
The Dollar Tree was next with 50cents each for a tablecover, turquoise ribbon, and gold ornaments.
Joann's had pretty little gift bags. They were 60cents each and I just had to get the turquoise ones.
The best loot of all was at Target! Everything was 75% off and I picked up guest towels - $1.00.
Gold glitter leaf ornaments - 75cents each. Perfect for Thanksgiving.
Who doesn't love Blue Balls? $1.50 each.
These were the best deal as the snowflakes came in multiple packs. 25cents each!
Foil snowflakes - 50cents each.
Turquoise snowflakes - $1.25 each for the big ones and 50cents each for the smaller ones.
At The Christmas Tree Shops, where everything was 50% off, I picked up a tablecloth for $1.49, turquoise ribbon for 99cents, plates and napkins for 50cents each, a bike bag which I bought because it was turquoise for 50cents and three bunches of yarn for 75cents each so I can make a yarn ball wreath next Christmas.
Also at The Christmas Tree Shops were great decorative boxes that I use for storing Christmas things. These three were 2 at 50cents each and one for 99cents.
These two were $1.74 and $1.99 and are quite big.
Not pictured are 3 silver Christmas trees purchased at Borders for $1.98 each and 2 turquoise Christmas trees for $3.75 each. They were 75% off and can you believe I found more turquoise Christmas trees! Also not pictured, candy already eaten :)
Total (so far) for all of this stuff - approximately $50.
Not bad.
Did you score any items from after-Christmas sales?

Wow, you hit the jackpot! I wasn't really looking for any bargains but I hit the aisle of candy at WalMart that was all marked down and bought way too much, then of course ate it all.
Tis ok, though, I'm back on my low-carb diet and doing great.
Hi Carmie,

You really scored! I did as well, my son and I stopped by CVS Pharmacy yesterday and all the Christmas stuff had just been marked down by 75%. I bought all kinds of stuff, (cleaned them out on mini glass ornaments) then stopped at another CVS in town and bought more. By then my son had enough. I took him home to stay with Dad and then I hit two more CVS'. One that had nothing and the other had just marked all the toys down, I really scored there - won't have to pay full price for birthday gifts for some time lol...
Great finds! I'm loving all the turquoise things you have.
I also like the vases. I would have bought several of those. You could paint them white and have faux milk glass.
So we know who cleared out Target, now, thank you very much, Carmie! :) I love those glittery snowflakes. As if the snow we've gotten {and are expecting} was not enough, these are still great to decorate with after Christmas.
MAN, that's a LOT of stuff! what great finds for next year. love those vases and those turquoise puffy looking snowflakes. haven't seen those at my target!
The Santa boxes are beautiful and I love those snowflake ornaments. I'd love to see how you decorate with them next year!
Excellent haul. Love the aqua blue.
Great finds, especially the turquoise. Still laughing @ the 'who doesn't like blue balls' comment. ;O)
Great job.If we wern't snowed in, Id be out there rummaging through clearance buckets right now.
/whistful sigh.
I did pick up some wonderful mini beanie babies Christmas toys for like a buck at Borders. They have all the awesome stuff. And their cards are really pretty too (but too expensive for me).
Yay for Clearance!
I scored way too much to list it all but my best finds were Christmas quilts for only $5.88, fleece blankets for $1.25, Potholders & kitchen towels for $.37, cloth table cloths for $2.25, 100 count Christmas lights for $.62, a full seat heated back massager for $12.25, a heated foot soak/massager for $4.25 and a roll up back mat massager for $4.25 all at Walmart and a bank that counts change for $1.25 at Rite Aid.

Had to snicker at the blue balls comment, hehehe. I should have been out looking for after holiday bargains. Drats. :)
