Post-Halloween Deals You’ll Scream Over

By

I’m a huge fan of post-holiday sales. A collector by nature; I have perfected the art of purchasing items at 50-80% off the retail price a mere days after the special event is over. Then, I hoard like a penny-pinching maniac until the following year, when I break out my brand new Christmas decorations/ Easter baskets/ Valentine’s heart paraphernalia/ insert-holiday-or-occasion-here.

(The only caveat, I suppose, are the boxes of “stuff” in our storage room. Still, well worth it when the occasion rolls around, and I don’t have to spend full price on amazing decor!)

Today, I’m particularly loving the 75% off Halloween-themed costumes and decor at Loblaws and Superstore.

At a routine grocery run this morning, I was like a kid in a candy store – or, I suppose, a kid on Halloween – as I sifted through the goodies for cheap, cheap, cheap. The average deluxe costume was between $12.00-18.00, and the accessories? Don’t even get me started. If you’ve got extra room under the stairs, the time to stock up is NOW.

Joe Fresh: HOT Clearance on Now!

By

Every smart mama knows to purchase clothing for their growing children out of season, in the hopes of scoring a sweet deal on threads that will have a short lifespan.

Last night, while attempting to keep my sanity during a grocery run at Loblaws (+ two whiny kids and one hungry husband), I decided that I simply must take 2 minutes to see if there was something that caught my eye in the toddler clearance rack at Joe Fresh. Well, hubby allotted exactly two minutes (you know that glazed-over look they get in their eyes when you peruse through a sale rack? yeah, that look) so I quickly rummaged to see if there was anything I could grab Ryder for next summer, when he’d be a size up.

In just under two minutes I was able to extract the following finds: a few cute tees for around the house, a pair of fleece shorts, and a sweet pair of plaid shorts that cost less than three apples!

I’m curious if the stand-alone Joe Fresh store has similar bangin’ deals – imagine the non-damage I could do with a better selection and without three dudes breathing down my neck? Will definitely have to place a call in this morning!

Pop by the Joe Fresh store at your local Loblaws or Real Canadian Superstore to score some fabulous clearance deals that will have your kids dressed for less.
