Target Deals

I'm no expert clearance shopper, but I went to Target in Menomonee Falls today and found some good deals. I got some toddler girls cold weather boots for Avery for 75% off. They were regularly $15.99 and I got them for $3.74. They had a few other styles that were $5.74. They had a whole aisle of these kinds of deals for toddler boys and girls (size 5-12) in the shoe section. They had some good clearance selection on infant/toddler clothes too. 30%, 50%, and 75% off. I got a winter coat for Camryn 50% off for $13.48. They also had a lot of stuff in the baby supply aisles for 50% off.

Where else are you finding good clearance deals?

Dentist Referral

Just FYI -- I found an awesome pediatric dentist. He would be quite a drive for anyone who lives on the East Side, but he's worth it if you're in the middle or west. His name is "Dr. Rick" and his office is called "Small World Pediatric Dentistry" (http://www.smallworlddds.com). He is located in Brookfield. No, I don't get anything for passing on his name. I was referred to him by my regular dentist and I was just really impressed. He is in a brand-new, super kid-friendly office. The staff is kind and accommodating. He seems to love kids and what he does; and he works from a very conservative approach (ie: Brooklyn has some very, very small cavities, he recommends just "watching" them and increasing flossing rather than doing fillings...at least for now). Bonus: his rooms are all painted with adorable, different murals. I had more take-home ideas for my kids bedroom than I've found in any books or home improvement stores. I'm just relieved to find him. The dentist was SO traumatic for me as a kid (my dentist didn't really like kids, as I remember). It's nice to have someone who specializes in pediatrics.

New Baby Advice

Hey, wouldn't you think I'd have it down by #4? Apparently not. Also, it has become apparent that many baby products are designed to last through three children. I am replacing my infant car seat and my breast pump this time.
Any suggestions on either?

Old Navy Clearance Sale

Old Navy is in the middle of their amazing winter clearance sale.  Apparently it began last week (HOW do I always miss the beginning of these things??) but they are now offering 60% off clearance online and in their stores as well.   I haven't been in to the store yet, so I don't know how picked over it is, but in the past this has been a pretty incredible chance to pick up a few bargains (last year I got fleece lined jeans for the toddler in my family for $2.50).  And, for what it's worth, the Brown Deer store typically has the best markdowns, but the sale should be active at the Brookfield Square and Southridge Mall locations as well.  Good luck, ladies!

Marcus Theatre movies

FROSTY FLICKS!

This really is a terrible post because it's a bit vague. But I know Norshore does this movie deal. I've gone on the Tuesdays in the past (okay, once) but it's going to be Saturdays, which could be fun for the fam, ya know?

Here's what it says:
Warm up with Marcus Theatres® this winter! Join us February 6th - March 20th, 2010 on Saturday mornings at 10am to view your favorite family flicks for just $3! Popcorn is included, so grab the family and head to your nearest participating Marcus Theatre® location!

I didn't see schedule, but I'm sure there's one somewhere.

Discovery World Discounted Passes

If anyone is interested, I found this site today. You can get a family pass to Discovery World for $37.50. We went last week and Carter absolutely loved it. You do have to pay for parking, although you may be able to find some street parking. It's normally $75 for a family pass, so it's half off. There are only 32 left, so you will probably want to act quickly.

Discovery World Discount

Now through the end of the year, you can get $5 off the price of admission to Discovery World when you bring in 3 non-perishable food items.

I know I haven't been there yet, mainly because of the cost. This looks like a great way to see it for less!
