Mesha,

I got the hexball at Target for only .98. They were on clearance back in August. Target clears out a lot of their toys twice a year (August and January). You can find lots of great items at 75% off.

Sorry you got hate mail, some people are very childish. Just jealous because they did not do it. I bought a ton of stuff and it was for my kids it was most all of theIr Christmas and Birthday. I have 3 kids so it looked like a ton of stuff, because it was all purchased at once, but in the end it was not really any more than most would buy for Christmas and birthdays. I had some one give me grief at the target, I only purchased one of any item, I was buying just for my kids. I would love to do the ebay thing too but didn’t have the extra money right now. I told here to basically mind her own business. If you pick it up first and pay for it, it does not matter what you do with it.

Who in their right mind would think you give all these toys to your children?! Oh brother! I think it’s great that you can purchase these items to save and gave as gifts for years to come. And reselling on ebay is a fantastic way to make money. You are smart shopper!!

Thank you so much for your posts. I was able to let all my family and friends now about it. We all saved a ton! The last few years a good part of our kids gifts came from consignment shops, etc… and maybe one or two things from the store and it still cost us more then was comfortable. Christmas and Birthdays will be much less pain free this way. Thank you soooooooo much!

I wouldn’t worry about what others are saying. I am thankful that you do post this information. I did my first toy clearance buy in Jan, but I didn’t get to the store until that night and it was picked over, although I did get quite a few items for my son. This time though I lucked out and was able to get there as they were marking everything down. I was able to get enough items for both my 5 year old daughter and my 7 month old son that I am covered for Christmas and his first birthday (Dec). I also got several extra items that I can give as gifts. I sent messages to several friends and they were able to get there to get several items as well.

If you didn’t share this info then I would say you were being greedy but you put it out there for everyone to see.

When asked yesterday about my full cart, my simple response “Isn’t the treasure hunt fun?” and walked away. No one’s business what the intended purpose of one item or carts full is….

I read your posts daily and love to hear about the deals and thankfully to you since reading your blog for the past year have saved quite a bit of money and have learned some really neat ideas to with my family. The hate mail that you have received saddens me to know that people are one, so judgemental and two, most likely very hypocritical. If it weren’t for you sharing the deals that you have found some of us wouldn’t be able to have our children’s face light up on Christmas morning when they see all that Santa brought them because in today’s world we wouldn’t be able to afford it. Thank you for sharing everything that you share and for the huge heart that just by reading your blog daily I know you have.

Thank you very much for sharing your bargins with us. You take the time out of your busy day to help us save money. I do the same thing, buy ahead of time for birthdays, christmas, family, friends, and even complete strangers, not just for christmas but year around a little toy or a small gift brightens anyones day. Thanks to your blogs, i can find a bargin on everyday needs. Thanks again have a blessed day.

Thanks so much for posting about the clearance…I stumbled across your site a short while ago for the first time so my timing was perfect! I was able to get a nice little stockpile for Christmas presents this year. Last Christmas, due to a number of unexpected expenses, it was a stretch to spend $50 (even though my husband was working two jobs!) and that really doesnt go very far for two kids when you have to pay full price. Its a relief to know that this year, even if we get slammed with more surprises, at least Christmas is already taken care of!

Okay, I have to say that I am jealous of all of your deals but that’s ok. Sometimes I get the deals and sometimes someone else. I “toy stockpile” for xmas and bdays, too. If I didn’t we couldn’t give nice gifts to our friends and family. I’m doing the Craigslist and eBay thing now so we can eat, literally – my husband has been unemployed for 6+ months. So I have no ill will for anyone else doing it. And I hadn’t thought of the Toys for Tots angle. That is a reason in itself. You go, girl!

I think its too bad, you even have to explain! 🙁 The amount of toys a child has has nothing to do with whether they have the attitude problem of being “spoiled” …I’ve seen spoiled children who only have a few toys and those that have tons and everything in between. Thanks for tipping me to the clearance sale today, I love you site.

I can’t believe you would get hate mail. I bought most of what you did and it is all for my son. This is pretty much what he will get for his birthday and Xmas. As well as, he earns toys throughout the year. I never get him toys at full price unless it is something really special that he has asked for.

I think it is fine if all of the toys were for your kids. At least you are not spending a lot of money on all of it.

WOW!! You did awesome. I must say it sickens me to hear that people are writing you hate emails. You are incredible and in no way did I even think badly. I was impressed. Heaven knows we all need gifts and items for charity all year long. Thanks for posting and for all your time spent helping me personally!! Words cannot express my gratitude towards you.
HUGS!!
