James' idea!

We went to Target today and I went to the Easter clearance section hoping to find some decorations or craft stuff on clearance. Instead I found candy at 90% off. I was going to get one of each of the things we liked, but James said since we can freeze them and the prices are so low that we should load up. I plan on baking with some of these and using them as homemade ice cream toppers this summer.


2 - Lifesaver jelly beans: $2.11 each on clearance for $0.21 each = $0.42
4 - M&M: $2.99 each on clearance for $0.29 each = $1.16
1 - Brach's jelly bean: $2.11 on clearance for $0.21 = $0.21
7 - Reese's eggs: $2.99 on clearance for $0.29 each = $2.03
6 - Milky Way bunnies: $2.99 on clearance for $0.29 each = $1.74

Total before sales = $57.16
Total sales = $51.60
Total OOP w/ tax = $6.02 ($6 from grocery budget and $0.02 wallet change)

90% savings!
