Look what I bought (and look what I spent)!!

One of my favorite deal websites is Fishing for Deals.  They have a section for online deals and "brick and mortar" store deals.  If you register at the site, you have access to more forums and any new posts that you have not read, come up highlighted.  I have found SO many deals, mostly at Target, that I wouldn't have known about otherwise!!  Many of them of not marked at the store or not immediately visible.  Many deals come about after the holidays.  I patiently wait for Target's Christmas clearance to go to 90% off and then scour the shelves! 

Although I have grown to fondly dislike Wal-Mart for their so called "deals" and sales, I periodically have found great deals there, similar to Target's.  I have been following a thread on the site for 75% off of Christmas merchandise (found here).  Yesterday I excitedly loaded Emily up and headed down the street to Wal-Mart, hoping to find some great deals.

After much looking (both in the Christmas clearance and in the Health and Beauty section), here is what I found:


Now, to further explain my excitement, let me break down what is in each one, the original price, and what I paid!!!

Revitalizing Spa Kit, originally $14.00.  I paid $3.75.  Contains a full size Olay lotion, full-size Olay body wash, slippers, a Febreze lavender candle, AND a subscription to Allure magazine!!!!

Nivea Smooth Kit,  originally $8.88.  I paid $2.22.  Contains a full-size Nivea body wash, a full-size Nivea smoothing body lotion, and two Nivea lip smoothing treatments.

Dial Body Wash and Anti-bacterial Hand Soap, originally $4.50.  I paid $1.25.

The other items that I found include:

Beyonce' Heat perfume set, originally $29.00.  I paid $7.50.
Tim McGraw Hair and Body Wash and Cologne set, originally $10.00.  I paid $2.50.
Hard Candy Lip Gloss Ring Set, originally $5.00.  I paid $1.25.
Sweetheart Soap Set, originally $5.00.  I paid $1.25.

Now for those of you in Tooele, I am sorry but I think I wiped out the supply of these.  There are a ton of Wal-Marts in Salt Lake though!!  There are still lots of lipgloss sets in characters (iCarly, Hannah Montana, etc.) for $1.25.  Later today I will post pics of the deals that I got the other day in the clearance section...
