Toy Clearance

Target right now is having a sale worth going to on toys. I stocked up super-early for Christmas on toys that were 75% and more. I didn't spend more than $3.75 on anything and I got some great toys.

Kids Clearance Sales?

Any good finds ladies?
I usually find things here and there, and I am able to stock up a season ahead. This year, no such luck. Mostly, it's just the fact that I have 4 kids and a hubby that's gone all the time. I just don't go shopping, period. I'd be willing to go somewhere if I knew I could get some good stuff.

WICKED!!!

They're doing a daily lottery for Wicked tickets!  I was there for a show on Thursday and I saw the people waiting for the lottery--there were only about 20 people hanging around.  They drew 4-6 names and then, if you weren't lucky enough to get your name called, they offered a consolation prize:  Orchestra seating for $40!  The tickets they were offering were row P.  The $40 tickets depend on availability, but if you're lucky and get drawn in the lottery your seats are downright amazing--4th row!  The exciting part is that, since they just started doing this, not many people seem to be participating.  Your chances probably improve on the weekday shows and are even better now, toward the beginning of the run, rather than as the show winds down.  The cast is really fantastic and it was such a fun show!  It's a pretty incredible way to see Wicked on the cheap.  If you don't get drawn and they don't offer the consolation prize, you can always just go to dinner or shopping in the area.  Good luck!~

Pewaukee Water Ski Show

Have you ever heard about the Pewaukee Lake Water Ski Show? It's held every Thursday night in the summer at 6:30pm. It's free - just bring your chairs or blankets and come watch the water skiiers do tricks right on the lake. I think they usually have live music too. (Oh and they also have an ice cream shoppe right there.) It's fun, especially on a warm summer evening!

What other fun things do you like to do in the summer?

Waukesha County Fair - Dollar Day

It's $1.00 parking, $1.00 admission (ages 5 and under are free) and 1 ticket rides for $1.25 each.

Diaper Sale

Amazon has their diapers and wipes for 30% off and free 2-day shipping when you use Subscribe and Save. Just go the baby section and click on "special offers". The 30% doesn't come off until after you enter your payment method (but before you finalize your order), so take an extra 30% off the prices shown. I don't know how the prices compare on everything else, but I got some Huggies Overnites for Ben and Pampers Easy-Ups for Carter for way less than sale price, even with coupons. You can cancel the subscribe and save after you place the order, just go to your account and find the manage my subscriptions link.
