bargains, bargains

Old Navy's clearance just got marked down an extra 50% off, making it at least 75% off regular price. I heard about the sale last night and found out that only certain stores were having it. Olympia was not one of them, but Tukwila was...and we had planned on going to Ikea today. Perfect!
If you remember my post about the sale in December, this sale was very similar to that one.
My main goal was to stock up on summer clothes for the boys for next year. I think we did pretty good.
First my totals. :)

Regular price would have been:
$341.49 before tax, with tax $372.23

We paid:
$76.00 before tax, with tax $82.84

Pretty good bargain. :)

Here's the breakdown of what we got:
(the boys)
3 swim shorts
2 shorts
2 sweat pant shorts
8 dress shirts (button up and polo's)
1 tank top

(me)
1 pair of jeans
2 polo shirts
1 beach bag

(justin)
2 pairs of jeans
1 pair of shorts
1 short sleve dress shirt




The other day I got all this stuff for $4-something (actually she messed up one of my coupons...but that is what it should have been!) It should have been over $50 for all of it without coupons.



And today Target paid me .50 cents to take home 2 boxes of electrasol!


Some pretty good bargains lately.


...but let me reassure you Ikea was NOT a bargain!

We got Judah this big boy bed for his birthday.

It also flips over to be a bunk bed for when Cohen moves in with him. I liked this one a lot because it is a twin size bed not a toddler bed, and the top bunk is really low when it is flipped into a bunk bed. It's only like 2 or 3 feet off the ground, so I won't have to worry as much about one of them falling off the top bunk. It also has a fun tent that came with it, which will help with the falling out of bed problem!


I'm excited to get it set up and see how he likes it. I'm hoping the transition to a big boy bed goes well. I've thought about keeping him in a crib longer because he is perfectly happy there, but I think he will absolutely love being in a bed.

We got a bunch of other stuff at Ikea, including stuff for the boy's craft area. I'll post pictures of it after we are done with it.
