Be on the look out for great toy sales in your area. Each year around January and February, retailers begin marking down their overstock from Christmas. Each time I go to Target and Wal-Mart I take a quick walk through the toy department to see if the clearancing has begun.
I try to take advantage of the 50-75% savings so that I can pick up gifts for my kids. No, I don’t spend much, but those little gifts are helpful later. Instead of getting my children an Easter basket each year, I usually give them a toy that I got on clearance. It’s nice to give them a toy that cost me $7-10, knowing that it was a $25-40 item. If your kids got money in the mail for Christmas, you can also use this time to get some toys that were on their list.
Have they began to mark down toys in your area? If you spot any great deals, please let us know!
