- Belle ornament, was $6.99, sale $0.70
And yes, the boys did still get a toy! Alas, I could not convince them that a forty-cent roll of wrapping paper was totally the "It Toy" this season. Darn. I did make them pick from the clearance aisle, as there was plenty to choose from. Dragon got a Dinosaur Train weighing station (on clearance for $4.98), and Knight picked a Pokeball with Pikachu (on clearance for $7.48). So far, he likes throwing it at the walls in the house to see it pop open. I, however, do not like the dents it makes and have issued a Royal Decree that only soft toys may be thrown at the walls. See? I'm not completely heartless. Here are their toys:

YAAAAAY ME!!!!
What was the best after-Christmas sale you found this year? Let me know in the comments! And as always, thanks for stopping by.
I know that you asked for this year......mine was about 4 years ago. It all started when I put up my prelit tree. I always make sure that the lights work before I assemble it all together. They did at that time....a few days before Christmas it would not light up. I had to take down all the ornaments that were hung and examine each bulb. I worked my way from the bottom of the tree to the top of the tree. No bulb was missing. It must have been a short in the wiring, which I had no idea on where to begin with trying to fix that. I went out searching for trees and they were all so expensive and with only a few days before Christmas I decided to wait for Christmas sales. So, I bought some lights and decorated the tree again. The day after Christmas my pretty prelit tree went up to Tree Heaven (a.k.a. Rumpke). Then, I went to JCP to return something and it hit me smack in the face (literally, the branch hit my face). I saw a CLEARANCE SIGN! The multi-colored prelit tree (only 1 left) was marked $459.99, then had a 70% off sign above it. JACK POT, $138 dollars! I was in Heaven. I took it up to the lady at the register to buy it and when she rang it up she said it will be $58.00. SCORE! I had a 20% off coupon and a $10 reward, I walked out paying under $40! I did not even get the tree out of the box after the purchase. I just brought it inside and put it in the closet with the rest of the Christmas stuff. Next year rolls around and as I turned on the Christmas Tree it was white lights only! I knew the box said multi-colored lights, just knew it. I pulled out the box and it said all white lights. I picked up the wrong box but in the end I love my tree and I purchased a beautiful tree!

That is an awesome deal! Congrats! I wonder if you got the tree for such an amazing price because you grabbed the one with white lights? I'm shopping with YOU next year!
